Yes, but not every property. Short-term rentals require a tourist licence (VFT — Vivienda con Fines Turísticos), which must be registered in the Andalusian Tourism Registry. From 2025, obtaining a new licence in apartment buildings requires approval from 3/5 of the co-owners. In addition, the property must have an NRUA number, which must be renewed annually.
Regulations have become significantly stricter. Renting without a licence is illegal, and fines are high. Before purchasing a property, it is essential to verify whether the specific property already has a valid licence or whether one can be obtained — this depends on community rules, local municipality requirements, and regional regulations. Long-term rentals (from 61 days) are less regulated and do not require a tourist licence, but the property cannot be advertised on platforms such as Airbnb, Vrbo, or Booking. Rental-related documentation should be one of the first things to check before making a purchase decision — not the last.
