A landmark court ruling has delivered a huge blow to short-term rental platforms in Spain. A Spanish court has upheld the government’s order requiring Airbnb to block nearly 66,000 listings—65,935 in total—due to violations such as missing or false licence numbers and lack of proper registration

This crackdown isn’t just theoretical; the first batch of 5,800 listings had to be removed immediately, with strict deadlines to come.

Furthermore, new EU regulations effective July 1, 2025 will require all short‑term rentals to have proper registration, escalating pressure on non-compliant owners.

What this means for you as a property owner:

Short-term holiday rentals are now high-risk and heavily restricted, especially in places like Andalusia

Properties without valid licences or proper registration face removal—meaning vacant listings and lost income.

Urbanisations and municipalities are already enforcing bans or gearing up to enforce new restrictions
