Published: April 22, 2026
Answer
Why did Mallorca lifeguards strike in 2025?
The 2025 protests and strikes were driven by staff shortages, long distances between watchtowers, and the physical strain of working in strong sun and heat. Lifeguards also wanted better conditions and more realistic support for the demands of seasonal beach work. The dispute became especially visible on busy stretches of coast and promenades in Mallorca.
