The Association says an increasing number of tourists are opting to stay away from crowded environments because of the pandemic.
“The evolution is very positive and this percentage of occupancy is forecast to continue until mid-September, ”Said Association of Holiday Tourist Homes President, Miguel Cifre.
On average, tourist rental properties in Mallorca cost around 300-600 euros per day, but there are also many luxury homes with price tags of 1,000 euros per day or more.
