Holiday rentals Mallorca – New Laws for Holiday Rentals in Mallorca

Update July 2023: Government pact in the Balearic Islands with new opportunities for holiday rentals on Mallorca The change of government on the Balearic Islands promises tax relief, and new opportunities for property buyers as well as owners who rent out their property as touristic/holiday rental. The conservative People's Party (PP) will operate as a minority government and thus will depend on the support of the right-wing populists of Vox. Under Balearic President Marga Prohens, the parties have agreed on a government programme aimed at numerous tax relief factors. One of the planned measures concerns the liberalisation of touristic/holiday rentals. The moratorium that has been in place since 2022 and has blocked the issuing of new licences is to be lifted.

Doubly punished: In these pandemic times criminals may have even more success

Using a holiday rental apartment as a home office is currently very popular but it is, however, advisable, never to rent a holiday home privately if you do not know the alleged owners. by Stefanie Claudia Müller Fourty year-old Pablo Cerda has experienced many criminal activities during his profession as an actor and filmmaker and has read about many unpleasant tricks, but has himself become the victim of a confidence trick in the normally safe Spanish capital of Madrid. Just as there are fake profiles appearing in dating portals when criminals exploit people's loneliness, there are also gangs who use false advertisements to entice globetrotters like Cerda who do not have the time to view apartments themselves directly, but can afford to pay a deposit.

From breakfast service to a private cooking event – why not spoil yourself in your holiday finca!

By Bettina Neumann Holidaying in your own finca is undoubtedly one of the most popular and relaxing holiday options. Privacy, independence and tranquillity are just a few of the great benefits of having your own holiday property, even though it is only rented. The only problem (for some people) is the cooking! Eating out in a restaurant every day seems to be the simplest solution initially, and the island impresses with an immense gastronomic selection for every taste and budget. A communal meal in the holiday finca, however, for two, with the family, or together with friends can definitely be a highlight and does not have to involve going shopping or cleaning the kitchen afterwards. Simply order a private chef ! Private cooking events, including breakfast service, are current...
