Mallorca’s beaches are easier than ever to navigate thanks to a digital platform launched by the Balearic Government, designed to provide real-time information on beach conditions and capacity. Known as Platges de Balears, this innovative system offers visitors key details such as occupancy levels, weather, sea conditions, jellyfish presence, and available facilities. The service is free and can be accessed via web browsers or mobile devices, allowing beachgoers to plan their visits with confidence. The platform is available at www.platgesdebalears.com, helping users make informed choices before heading to the coast.
Visitors can check any beach by selecting Mallorca from the island options and searching by name or municipality. Each beach profile is updated hourly, showing information such as swimming conditions, occupancy, air and water temperatures, wind speed and direction, wave height, UV index, and jellyfish warnings.
Occupancy levels are indicated through a simple color-coded system: green for low occupancy (under 30%), yellow for moderate (30–60%), orange for high (over 60%), and red for full capacity (above 90%).
The official Platges de Mallorca mobile app, available for iOS and Android, expands on these features by offering real-time updates, sea condition monitoring, safety flags, accessibility information, jellyfish alerts, UV warnings, and multiple language support.
This system helps visitors avoid overcrowded beaches, plan trips around current conditions, protect themselves from UV exposure, and save time by steering clear of full beaches. Overall, Platges de Balears provides a modern, convenient solution for enjoying Mallorca’s coastline safely and comfortably.
