The Canaries’ flagship market — Costa Adeje to Los Cristianos, booked all year.
Tenerife South — Costa Adeje, Los Cristianos, Playa de las Américas, El Médano — is the single deepest STR market in the Canary Islands, with over a thousand tracked listings and the islands’ strongest winter occupancy. The north (Puerto de la Cruz) is a distinct, more local-flavoured market at lower price points.
Apartments dominate the investable stock here, unlike villa-led Mallorca: well-located one and two-bedroom units in resort complexes are the workhorse asset.

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.

Not a new one for now — Law 6/2025 froze new VV licences for five years. The market has shifted to acquiring properties whose existing licence is grandfathered. Verify licence status before committing.
It is the flattest seasonality profile in Spain — winter months are peak season for northern-European sun-seekers. The monthly data on this page shows the booking pace across the year.
South for liquidity, flight connectivity and resort demand (Costa Adeje, Los Cristianos); north (Puerto de la Cruz) for lower entry prices in a more traditional Canarian setting with thinner STR data.
