Holiday Rentals in Mallorca: Reality Check after Brussels Veto

Answer

Can holiday rentals and long-term housing coexist in Mallorca?

They can, but only if the rules are more precise and better enforced. Mallorca needs a balance between tourism income and enough homes for people who live and work on the island year-round. Without stronger incentives for long-term renting, the housing shortage is likely to remain a major issue.
