Year-round occupancy — Europe’s winter-sun market, newly supply-capped by law.
The Canaries are the only Spanish market with genuine year-round STR demand: winter sun flattens the seasonality curve that defines the Mediterranean, so occupancy holds up in months when Mallorca sleeps. Tenerife South, Gran Canaria’s Maspalomas strip, Lanzarote and Fuerteventura are mature, flight-connected resort markets.
The regulatory ground just shifted: Law 6/2025 froze new vacation-rental (VV) licences for five years and pushed zoning power to municipalities. Existing licensed properties are grandfathered — making them the asset to own.

Licensing is the single biggest factor in Spanish STR underwriting — it determines whether projected income is achievable at all.
Law 6/2025 (in force 13 December 2025) froze new VV licences for five years while municipalities set zoning quotas, and bars new holiday lets in designated tourist zones. Existing licences are grandfathered under transitional rules.
Existing VV registrations can generally keep operating; long-term security comes from the "consolidated tourist use" declaration, which requires the owner to hold the licence and at least one year of continuous holiday letting before the law took effect.
Target properties with an existing VV licence and verify it survives the transfer with a local lawyer — the 5-year freeze makes licensed stock structurally scarce (and defensible).
Since 1 July 2025 every short-term rental in Spain must hold a national registration number (NRA) from the Registro Único (Royal Decree 1312/2024). Platforms like Airbnb must delist properties without one within 48 hours. The NRA sits on top of each region’s own licence regime — you need both.

Year-round demand. Winter-sun tourism from the UK, Germany and the Nordics keeps occupancy meaningful in every month, unlike the Mediterranean’s summer-only curve. RevPAR stability is the core of the investment case.
Law 6/2025 (in force December 2025) stopped new VV licences for five years while municipalities set quotas, and barred new holiday lets in designated tourist zones. Properties with existing licences continue under transitional rules — so licensed stock is now capped.
Tenerife South is the deepest market in our data; Gran Canaria (Maspalomas/Puerto Rico) and Lanzarote (Puerto del Carmen) are comparable resort economies; Fuerteventura trades lower entry prices for a surf-and-dunes demand profile.
