Answer

Can a commercial premises in Mallorca be used as a home if the lease was for a business?

No, not without the owner’s consent. If a property is rented as a shop, salon, or other business space, using it permanently as a home usually breaches the lease agreement and can justify eviction in Mallorca. The legal point is the agreed purpose of the property, not just how it happens to be used day to day.
