In 2025, swimming was prohibited up to 20 times on beaches in various municipalities of Mallorca, such as Manacor, Pollença, and Santanyí, among others, due to the presence of fecal bacteria that pose a public health risk. There were even exceptional bans of up to a week (from July 7 to 14) in Magaluf.
