The two Balearic islands that don't have an all-inclusive drinks cap

Popular tourist spot Ibiza has been added to the list of areas in the Balearic Islands that currently have strict drinking rules in place, including a total ban on pub crawls and party boats, and fines of up to €600,000.

The current areas that must abide by the rules are Playa de Palma, El Arenal, Magaluf, the West End of Sant Antoni de Portmany, and now Ibiza. However, there's good news for travellers who had their heart set on visiting the archipelago and were planning on doing so with a glass in hand.

The law, that aims to combat alcohol overuse and create a more wholesome reputation for some of its destinations, is only active in specific areas, meaning there's other options for your holiday. We spoke to LOTUS, the tourist board that represents the Balearic Islands in the UK and Ireland, who told us the two Islands that aren't enforcing the drinking restrictions are: Menorca and Formentera.
