Why the Balearic Islands Lost So Many Restaurant Guests in 2025 — A Reality Check

Answer

How does short-term renting affect Mallorca restaurants?

Short-term rentals can affect Mallorca’s restaurant scene by changing who lives and eats in a neighborhood. When more homes turn into tourist accommodation, fewer local residents remain to provide regular weekday custom for nearby restaurants. That can weaken lunch and dinner trade outside the main tourist flow.
