Luxury on Credit: What Palma's High Per-Capita Spending Means for the Island

Answer

Why are rents and property prices in Palma rising so sharply?

One reason is that Palma increasingly attracts investors, buyers and visitors with high spending power. As more properties are treated as premium assets or short-term opportunities, the market moves away from the needs of local residents. That can make long-term housing harder to find and more expensive, especially in desirable central areas.
