Mar Menor Golf Resort — Owner Guide
Short-term holiday rentals — including Airbnb — are legal in the Murcia region, but there are licensing requirements that must be met before listing a property. Here is what you need to know.
In the Region of Murcia, all properties used for short-term holiday rentals must hold a Vivienda de Uso Turístico (VUT) licence. This is issued by the regional government of Murcia and must be displayed on all listings, including Airbnb.
The licence application requires the property to meet basic habitability standards, including smoke detectors, a first-aid kit, a guest information folder and functioning heating and air conditioning.
Yes — there are no resort-specific rules at Mar Menor Golf Resort prohibiting short-term rentals. Many owners actively rent out their properties through Airbnb and direct booking channels.
When you partner with Costadels, we work with our local management partner Houses In The Sun to ensure your property meets all licensing requirements. We can assist with the VUT application process and ensure your Airbnb listing includes the correct registration number as required by Spanish law.
Spain has been tightening short-term rental regulations in recent years, particularly in high-demand urban areas. However, the Murcia region — and tourist resort communities like Mar Menor Golf Resort specifically — remain favourable for holiday rental activity compared to cities like Barcelona or Málaga where restrictions are more severe.
