Royal Christmas Address: Can We Expect Answers to Mallorca's Housing Problem?
How Holiday Rentals Affect Mallorca’s Housing Market
Holiday rentals can limit long-term housing supply in Mallorca, which adds pressure on residents looking for homes.
Published: April 23, 2026
Answer
Are holiday rentals part of Mallorca’s housing shortage?
Holiday rentals can play a role when homes that could serve local residents are used for short stays instead. That does not explain every part of the shortage, but it is one of the reasons many people in Mallorca feel the market has become harder to access. A reliable register and stronger reporting rules would make it easier to see what is happening.
