Vacation Rentals Are King — But at What Cost for Mallorca?

Answer

Is it still possible to rent a finca in Mallorca without harming local housing?

It can be, if the property is used within a clear legal framework and does not replace homes that locals need for year-round living. Some proposals for Mallorca focus on zoning, stronger registration and incentives for long-term rentals so that tourist use and local housing can coexist. The key point is that not every holiday rental has the same impact, but uncontrolled growth is a real problem.
