Reality Check: Why Mallorca Can Hardly Escape Massification

Answer

Why do short-term rentals and second homes matter in Mallorca?

They matter because they reduce the housing available for people who live and work in Mallorca year-round. When more homes are used as holiday property or investment assets, rents and living costs can rise, especially in places under pressure. That makes housing one of the less visible but central parts of the tourism debate.
