An advertisement placed on the letting platform by a host named Richard offers visitors the chance to sleep in a “diesel manual car with a bed inside and no rear windows, which means you can blend in unnoticed”.
“During the day, pack up your bed and drive safely around the island – you’ve got a minivan to enjoy!”

Vincent Marí, the head of the island’s council, said last week the White Isle was the first place in to be cleansed of illegal advertisements which either lack a licence or contravene the island’s rules on where tourists can stay.
Marga Prohens, the Balearic Islands regional leader, congratulated Ibiza and Airbnb for its “responsible” fight against illegal tourist accommodation. “Today, we are pioneers throughout Spain,” she told a press conference last week.
The island authority website states that wild camping is not authorised “so tourist accommodation in campers, caravans, tents or cabins outside of authorised campsites on the island is not permitted”.

“Increasing tourist accommodation poses a problem of overcrowding on the island and therefore, an imbalance in the tourist ecosystem.”
The island’s council also wants to fight pirate taxis and impose a limit of 16,000 rental cars to reduce congestion on the roads.
