When Streets Turn into Bedrooms: Campervans and the Housing Shortage in the Orange Valley
Campervans in Sóller Valley: What’s driving the trend?
Understand how housing shortages and seasonal work shape campervan living in the Sóller area.
Published: August 18, 2026
Answer
Why are campervans becoming common along Mallorca's Sóller valley and Port de Sóller?
In Mallorca, affordable housing is scarce and rents rise, while seasonal work keeps many workers in the service sector. That combination makes traditional housing options hard to find, so some people end up living in vehicles. This reality is part of daily life in places like Sóller and Port de Sóller.
