Ibiza motorhome rental at 1300 euros per month sparks criticism

In Brief

An ad for a motorhome rental on Ibiza for 1300 euros per month has sparked outrage. The Balearic Islands have tightened fines for parking up to 40,000 euros, while Mallorca restricts camper living due to high rents.

On Ibiza, an advertisement for renting a motorhome parked on a plot for 1300 euros per month has drawn criticism on social media due to the high price.

Local authorities on Ibiza have introduced restrictions: motorhomes are prohibited from staying in one place for more than three days, and since June 1, a law imposes fines from 10,000 to 30,000 euros for parking without a campsite reservation. According to another source, the fine for entering without permission during high season can reach 10,000 euros, and for parking in a prohibited zone — from 10,001 to 30,000 euros. In summer 2025, a motorhome was fined for both violations, totaling up to 40,000 euros.

On Mallorca, the average rent in Palma reached 18.6 euros per m² in February 2026, forcing some residents to move into campers. The municipality limits stays in one place to 10 days and imposes fines of up to 1500 euros for illegal parking, while also creating difficulties with registration for those living in vehicles.

Larraitz sets fee for motorhome overnight parking: €5 per night

A new motorhome service area with electricity, grey/black water disposal and fresh water refill has opened in Larraitz, at the entrance to the Aralar natural park. From September, overnight parking (10 pm–6 am) will cost €5; currently only services are charged: water disposal/refill €5, 24‑hour electricity €6. The €2 million project (10% from the municipality, the rest from EU Next Generation funds) aims to regulate existing wild camping, not to attract more tourists.

Actress Min Ji-young injures toe in Spain, visits emergency room

South Korean actress Min Ji-young (48) injured her toe while traveling in a motorhome in Spain and visited an emergency room. She struck her toe on the wooden frame of the motorhome door and tried self-treatment for three weeks, but swelling persisted, prompting her to seek medical care. Examination revealed inflammation in the toe joint, not a fracture. Doctors recommended five weeks of rest, and the actress suspended her trip for three months. The emergency room bill exceeded 600,000 won (about $450), of which approximately 400,000 won was reimbursed by travel insurance.

Users may not set up tables, chairs, barbecues, awnings or other camping equipment outside, nor light fires, cook, wash vehicles or discharge grey and black water within the areas. The zones are unguarded, and owners are responsible for their vehicles and belongings. The measure follows complaints from residents and businesses in 2023 and police reports of excessive parking in 2025.
