Answer

Are holiday apartments in Palma allowed to operate without a tourism licence?

In Mallorca, holiday rentals need the proper tourism licence to operate legally. If a property is being offered without one, it can be subject to fines and enforcement action, although those processes can take time. Platforms may still show listings while a case is unresolved.
