Rent in Calvià: an expensive market, measured

3.236 declared leases sit behind it: enough to inform, small enough that one street can sit outside the range. A reference of 12,72 €/m² puts Calvià among the dearest places to rent in Spain, where short-term letting quietly removes the best stock from the long-term pool. It is 23,3 % above the reference of five years earlier.

Rents declared on income-tax returns for main-residence leases, not asking prices. They lag the market and exclude holiday lets.
