Answer

What happens when an illegal holiday apartment is sealed in Mallorca?

If an unauthorized holiday apartment is sealed, it can no longer be used as accommodation while the case is being handled. In practice, that can remove beds from the market quickly, but it may also push demand elsewhere if enforcement is uneven. Owners should also expect formal procedures and possible appeals, which can affect how quickly a case is resolved.
