Answer

What can Mallorca authorities do to detect illegal tourist accommodation more effectively?

A practical approach is to combine registration checks with local data such as waste patterns, water use and arrival information. Random inspections and stronger cooperation between municipal offices, utilities and rental regulators can also help. Clear reporting tools for neighbours make it easier to flag suspicious activity without turning oversight into constant surveillance.
