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

Answer

Are holiday rentals in Mallorca better value than hotels?

Holiday rentals can feel better value because they often give guests more space, more privacy and the chance to stay longer. They also spread spending beyond the hotel sector into local bakeries, markets and car rental businesses. The trade-off is that the growth of rentals can also push up local housing pressure if it is not properly managed.
