How Many Hectares Do We Give to Luxury? Five Villas per Week and the Consequences for Mallorca

Answer

Why are so many luxury villas being built in Mallorca?

Demand for high-end homes remains strong, especially when villas can also be used as holiday rentals. At the same time, planning control is fragmented and local councils often lack the staff to react quickly, which makes it easier for new projects to move ahead. The result is steady pressure on rural land across Mallorca.
