Are Balearic Islands on the green list?

The Balearic Islands are no longer on the green list.

The Spanish islands were added to the UK's green list on June 30, meaning Brits could visit the islands without having to quarantine afterwards.

However, they have since been moved to the amber list after a spike in cases.

Presently, Brits who have had two doses of the vaccine, with the second one at least 14 days prior to travelling, can skip the 10-day quarantine if returning from amber countries.

However, countries on the amber plus list would not be included in this.

This means even fully vaccinated Brits must still quarantine for 10 days at home when returning from the countries on the list.

They must also have a pre-arrival Covid test and a filled in Passenger Locator Form, as well as two tests on day two and day eight pre-booked.

Majorca

Face coverings continue to be mandatory for anyone over the age of six-years-old on all forms of public transport in Spain and in many other indoor and outdoor public spaces.

The public are advised to always carry a face mask and be prepared to wear when out and about in busy places.

The new updated rules comes as all four islands have seen a significant rise in the Beta variant, which experts say is more transmissible.

Menorca and Ibiza

Authorities across Ibiza and Mallorca are cracking down on social gathering, with a ban on all events which involve mixing between households.

Restaurants, bars and cafes must close at 1am, and the number of diners per table will be cut from six to four indoors, and from 12 to eight outdoors.

Beaches will also be closed off from the public at 10pm each night.

Can I go on holiday to the Balearic Islands?

Spain introduced new rules earlier this month, meaning all arrivals must be fully vaccinated or have a negative Covid test.

This is enforced across all of Spain including the Balearic Islands.

There are also travel restrictions in place on the islands, including a curfew from midnight to 6am, while just eight people can meet outdoors, or six indoors.
