When Housing Becomes a Matter of Survival: Mallorca Between Rental Frenzy and Everyday Life

Answer

What’s driving Mallorca’s housing squeeze?

Mallorca's housing squeeze comes from a mix of tourism pressure, a high number of second homes, and the growing share of short-term rentals. That combination reduces available homes and pushes up rents, affecting everyday life for workers and families. Policy talk often focuses on tenant protections, but without creating more housing, the core problem remains.
