The Department of the Environment of the Balearic Government has initiated an investigation to assess whether Katy Perry’s recent music video shoot for “Lifetimes” on the islet of s’Espalmador, located within the Ses Salines Natural Park, has caused any environmental damage. According to EFE, preliminary proceedings have begun, but it remains unclear if a crime against the environment has occurred or if any penalties will be enforced. The ministry confirmed that the production company did not obtain the necessary authorization to film in the protected area and failed to apply for permission.

Perry’s video, which includes scenes of the singer dancing and jumping in various locations across Ibiza and Formentera, has raised concerns due to filming allegedly taking place within a restricted area of the s’Espalmador dunes. These dunes, marked by poles and ropes to indicate prohibited access, are part of one of the best-preserved dune systems in the Balearic Islands and are recognized for their “great ecological value,” according to the Balearic government’s official tourism website.
The islet of s’Espalmador, situated to the north of Formentera, has been part of the Ses Salines Natural Park since 1980 and is renowned for its ecological importance. The area measures approximately 2.9 kilometers long and 800 meters wide.
