Misbehaving tourists in Magaluf, the Mallorca resort best known for alcohol-fuelled debauchery, could be fined up to €3,000 (£2,640) if they fall foul of an extensive set of rules unveiled by the local council this week. The long list of banned activities includes the obvious (urinating, spitting, and being naked on the streets), as well as the more unusual (climbing trees and using soap in public showers, to name a couple).

The measures, which were initially approved last year by the town hall of Calvia (the region of the island that includes Magaluf and Palmanova), are the latest attempt to crack down on bad behaviour among tourists and clean up the image of Magaluf. There has even been talk of transforming it into an upmarket, family-friendly destination.

The fines range from €100 to €599 (£88 to £527) for “minor” offences, including throwing cigarette butts or shining a laser beam on the streets, to more “serious” misdemeanours, for which the fine is €600 to €1,499 (£528 to £1,319), and “very serious” violations, including serving alcoholic drinks to those under the age of 18, where it is €1,500 to €3,000 (£1,320 to £2,640).

Local bars and cafes can also face fines for serving alcohol to those who are already drunk, or serving drinks or food to be consumed on the street, while owners must “ensure good order” and event organisers “must guarantee people’s safety”.

Many of the new restrictions were reportedly proposed as a response to nearly 15,000 complaints made annually by locals to the council and police. The latest ruling forms part of a five-year, £214 million regeneration programme first introduced in 2015, for which British police were sent to Magaluf to help keep tourists in check. The initiative was in part a response to a film of an 18-year-old woman performing sex acts on 24 men during a pub crawl on the Punta Ballena strip that went viral.

Last month, new regulation that limits music noise in establishments to under 60 decibels was introduced in the area, with 65 decibels – equivalent to laughter or a hair dryer – triggering a sound limiter that automatically mutes the volume.

Some of the new laws have already been enforced. This month 19 British tourists were fined for running naked through the streets of Palmanova and two drunk British men at Palma airport were charged for attacking police officers, according to the Majorca Daily Bulletin.
