When a guest cuts a foot by the pool at night, nobody should have to search three cupboards for a plaster and a torch.
Balearic rules require every holiday rental to have both. The Wingman safety station puts them side by side: a matte-black first-aid cabinet, a rechargeable torch in a fixed wall mount, and reserve stock to keep the cabinet full all season. It is how we fit our own villas.
Annex 6 of Decreto 20/2015 lists the indispensable requirements for a tourist rental in the Balearic Islands. Two of them sit next to each other on that list, and the station answers both.
The decree asks for a botiquín. It does not say what goes in it, so the contents are a choice, and the next section shows ours.
A torch is one of the options the decree names. It sets no brightness, size or number. A dedicated torch on a fixed mount stays where it belongs, not in a kitchen drawer.
There is no item-by-item list in the tourism rules. That is why we use the closest statutory list Spain has, rather than guessing.
Real Decreto 486/1997, Annex VI, sets the minimum for a portable first-aid kit at work. It is workplace health and safety law, not tourism law, and we use it as our benchmark because it is the clearest list Spain has. It also says the material must be checked and replaced when used or out of date.
The Consell d'Eivissa's declaration form for tourist rentals asks for at least disinfectant, antiseptic, cotton, tape or plasters, scissors, tweezers and disposable gloves, all in date. The first fill covers every item on it.
Open it and look for those nine items and their expiry dates. It takes five minutes, and you can do it with or without us.
Lockable and wall-mounted, with three shelves that keep everything in view. Made to sit on a villa wall without looking like a clinic.
Zoom beam and battery indicator, fixed beside the cabinet so it is always in the same place and always charged.
The nine categories above, laid out so anyone opening the door can see what is there and what is missing.
We buy full packs, fill the cabinet from them and leave the rest with you. The next refill is already on site.
Low-cost kits are compact emergency packs with small quantities. They do the job on day one.
Then a guest uses the plasters, a cleaner uses the gloves, and someone has to notice, find the right replacement and restock it, usually in the middle of a changeover. In a holiday rental the kit gets used far more often than in a home.
A compact pack, small quantities, often in a bag or box that ends up in a drawer.
A fixed cabinet with the full packs on site, so a refill takes a minute at turnover.
Yes. Annex 6 of Decreto 20/2015 lists a botiquín among the indispensable requirements for tourist rentals in the Balearic Islands, which include Ibiza.
Decreto 20/2015 does not list the contents. In Ibiza, the Consell d'Eivissa's declaration form asks for at least disinfectant, antiseptic, cotton, tape or plasters, scissors, tweezers and disposable gloves, all in date. Wingman fills the cabinet to the minimum in Real Decreto 486/1997, Annex VI, which covers all of these.
Annex 6 asks for candles, torches or emergency lighting and sets no brightness, size or number. A torch is one of the options it names. The station uses a rechargeable LED torch in a fixed wall mount, so it is always in the same place.
No. Extinguishers with a periodic service are a separate Annex 6 requirement and need their own supplier and annual maintenance contract.
€199 including VAT for the cabinet, the torch and its wall mount, the first fill and the reserve stock. Installation is optional: with delivery, mounting and organising the contents, it is €60 more.
Whoever looks after the villa between stays. The full packs stay on site, so a refill is a minute's job. First-aid material should be replaced when it is used or reaches its expiry date.

Decreto 20/2015 (Annex 6) requires tourist accommodation in the Balearic Islands to have a first-aid kit and candles, torches or emergency lighting; it does not list the kit's contents. Wingman fills the cabinet to the first-aid minimum in Real Decreto 486/1997 (Annex VI), Spanish workplace health and safety regulation used here as the benchmark. Owners remain responsible for meeting the requirements that apply to their property.
