Fire in Magaluf: Reality check after the deaths in an apartment complex

Answer

Are holiday apartment buildings in Mallorca required to have smoke detectors?

Fire protection rules can depend on the type of building and how it is used, so the answer is not always the same for every property in Mallorca. What matters in practice is that guests should not assume a rental is automatically safe just because it is a modern holiday building. Working smoke detectors and regular maintenance remain essential, especially where many different guests stay throughout the year.
