Answer
Why are rents in Mallorca expected to rise so sharply in 2026?
The main reason is that many five-year rental contracts are ending at the same time, and the market has changed a lot since those agreements were signed. Lower supply, continued demand, and higher prices per square metre are pushing new rents up across the Balearic Islands.
