Dispute over beach service in Palma: Who benefits from premium sunbeds?

Answer

Can beach space in Palma be divided between public use and paid loungers?

Yes, it can be regulated, and that is part of the current discussion in Palma. The key point is to keep enough free space for everyone while allowing some paid services in clearly defined areas. Without clear limits, paid installations can gradually take over too much of the beach.
