Airbnb and the €64 Million Decision: What the Fine Means for Mallorca

Answer

How do holiday rentals affect housing in Palma and other parts of Mallorca?

In Palma and other busy areas of Mallorca, short-term rentals can reduce the number of apartments available for people who live and work on the island. That can push prices up and make it harder for families and workers to stay in central neighbourhoods. It also changes the character of some streets, especially where holiday flats replace long-term homes.
