Around 300 Palma holiday rental apartments available on Airbnb

Unlike last year, there is greater availability - the consequence of the pandemic - although some apartments show good bookings for July and August. The website indicates that prices have come down from what they were last summer. An example is a one-bedroom apartment on the Paseo Marítimo. The price is 656 euros for six nights; this includes cleaning and service. It was previously offered at 1,100 euros.

The Balearic government fined Airbnb for carrying advertisements for properties which didn't include the licence number. This fine was recently annulled by the Balearic High Court, which accepted the Airbnb defence that it was merely an e-commerce intermediary and that its activity therefore conforms with the relevant EU directive. The owners of properties face being fined, and they cannot claim this defence.
