Short-Term Rental Register 2025: What you need to know if you have a holiday home on the Costa Blanca
🏡 New regulations for tourist rentals: the State Registry comes into force
From 1 July 2025, all owners and managers of tourist properties in Spain, including those located on the Costa Blanca North (Moraira, Jávea, Calpe, Benissa, Altea, Benitachell...), are obliged to register their properties in the new Register of Short-Term Rentals, approved by the Government through Royal Decree 933/2021.
This new system seeks to strengthen transparency, improve security and facilitate the control of tourist activity.
✅ What is the Short-Term Rental Registry?
It is a state database in which all homes that are rented for short periods must be registered, either through platforms such as Airbnb, Booking, Vrbo or other channels.
The regulations affect both:
- Private owners who rent their home for days or weeks.
- Professional holiday home managers.
- Tourist rental companies.
🧾 What information must be provided?
Owners must submit:
- Identification data of the owner or manager.
- Characteristics of the property (location, type, regional tourist registration number, etc.).
- Duration of each stay and basic guest details (in compliance with data protection regulations).
- Marketing channels used (web portals, agencies, etc.).
🏖️ How does this measure affect the Costa Blanca?
In an area as touristic as the Costa Blanca North, where holiday rentals are very common, this regulation implies greater administrative control, but it also represents an opportunity to further professionalise the sector.
Communities such as Benissa, Moraira, Jávea or Altea already have their own regulations on tourist housing at the regional level (registration in the Valencian Community, tourist license, etc.). Now, this state-level registration is added as an additional requirement that does not replace local procedures, but complements them.
⚖️ What if I don't sign up?
Not registering your property can lead to significant financial penalties and the impossibility of legally operating in short-term rentals.
That is why it is essential to comply with these regulations if you want to continue renting out your home on holiday or investing in properties for tourism purposes.
