Comparative Analysis of the Regulation of Tourist Dwellings in Spain

The regulation of holiday homes in Spain is a competence attributed to the Autonomous Communities. Investors must therefore be aware of the changing regional regulations depending on the location of the investment. In this regard, see the recent entry into force of Decree-Law 3/2023 in Catalonia, from 9 November 2023, implementing the requirement to obtain planning permission in certain municipalities for this type of activity. RocaJunyent has therefore prepared a comparative analysis of the main requirements established by the regulations in Andalusia, Catalonia, the Balearic Islands, Valencia and the Canary Islands in order to provide an overview of the situation.

Below is a comparative table of the regulations of tourist accommodation in the 5 Autonomous Communities mentioned. We would like to remind you that the above is general information and each specific case must be analysed individually, for which we are at your disposal.
