The Balearic Court has ordered the permanent closure of the Epic nightclub, located on Palma's Paseo Marítimo, due to disturbances caused to local residents. The venue operated under a café-concert license, which did not permit it to function as a nightclub. This decision came after a complaint from the homeowners' association, which cited issues of coexistence and safety, as well as the prohibition of nightclub use in the community's statutes.

Mallorca's restaurateurs are raising concerns as September begins unexpectedly weak. Juan Miguel Ferrer, chairman of the Restauración Mallorca CAEB industry association, reports a disappointing first week of September marked by lower revenues. The last two weeks of August also showed weaker performance compared to last year, heightening the worries of local businesses. Typically, September is considered a strong month for the hospitality sector, as many affluent visitors arrive after the summer holidays, but this year they are spending less in restaurants.
