Tramuntana as a Source of Income: How Deià, Fornalutx and Other Villages Are Changing the Island

Answer

What makes it hard for families to find housing in Deià and similar Mallorca villages?

In sought-after Tramuntana villages, short-term rentals and rising property demand reduce the number of homes available for permanent residents. That pushes rents and purchase prices up, making it harder for young families and local workers to stay in the area. The problem is especially visible in places with limited housing stock and strong outside demand.
