Eviction of illegal shelter in Ibiza with horrific conditions

Published on May 15, 2026 | Translated from Spanish

The Local Police of Ibiza have evicted an illegal hostel that was operating without any kind of permit inside a commercial premises. The conditions were extremely unsanitary and dangerous, comparable to a horror movie. Ten precarious cubicles served as bedrooms, dining rooms, and kitchens, without adequate ventilation or lighting.

Dark and overcrowded interior of a commercial premises, with ten precarious wooden cubicles, dirty mattresses on the floor, exposed electrical wires, and lack of ventilation.

Technology cannot overcome the lack of habitability 🏚️

The premises lacked the minimum dimensions required by regulations, with spaces so small that they prevented any kind of cross ventilation. The absence of natural light and extraction systems forced tenants to live together in a stale environment. From a technical point of view, not even the best home automation or LED lighting could have solved the lack of square meters and the non-existent architectural planning of the space.

Ten people crammed into ten cubicles that functioned as all-in-one: bed, table, and kitchen. Basically, the wet dream of any investor wanting to maximize profitability per square meter. Of course, the listing on idealista must have been a marvel: Central apartment, very cozy, with a warm atmosphere and walls that breathe... moisture.
