Holiday rental management in Fuengirola
We run your tourist dwelling, with the in-house team of a renovation company. A tailored proposal with services, frequency and terms in writing.
In short
We manage your tourist dwelling from start to finish: listing and photos, pricing and calendar, guest communication and incidents, resolved by our own plumbing, electrical, air-conditioning and building team. You follow everything from your owner area. Fuengirola has 6,341 registered tourist dwellings with 31,936 declared places (registry data as of 22 September 2026) in a municipality of 10.36 km²: the highest tourist density of the towns we work in.
How we start
- 01We visit the property, look at its condition and access, and go through the paperwork required by Andalusian rules and, where they exist, municipal ones.
- 02We send you a tailored proposal with services, frequency and terms in writing; the contract is signed digitally.
- 03We publish the listing, adjust pricing and the calendar, look after guests and resolve incidents with our own team. You follow it from your owner area.
What it takes to let, step by step
- 01
1. Tourism: a responsible declaration to the regional government
Andalusian tourism registration is not a licence: you file an electronic responsible declaration and the home is registered with a VUT/MA/ code plus five digits, which must appear on the receipt given to the guest. It does not replace planning, owners' association or tax obligations.
Decreto 28/2016 (texto consolidado) · Junta de Andalucía - 02
2. Planning: the home must comply with the local plan
The responsible declaration states that the home complies with planning and holds the occupancy or habitability certificate it requires. If that proves inaccurate, the registration is cancelled. It is checked home by home.
Decreto 28/2016 (texto consolidado) · Junta de Andalucía - 03
3. Owners' association: three-fifths approval
Since 3 April 2025, the Horizontal Property Act requires the association's prior express approval by three fifths of owners and quotas. Anyone already letting under the tourism rules before that date may carry on.
Decreto-ley 1/2025 de Andalucía (BOJA 41, 03-03-2025) - 04
4. Technical requirements
14 m² of built area per place, with a minimum of 25 m² for the home, and up to 15 places for whole-home lettings. Cooling is compulsory if it is marketed from May to August, heating from December to March.
Decreto 28/2016 (texto consolidado) · Junta de Andalucía - 05
5. Duties while letting
A 24-hour contact line, cleaning on each guest's arrival and departure, and official complaint forms with their notice on display. Which of these we take on is set out in the written proposal.
Decreto 28/2016 (texto consolidado) · Junta de Andalucía - 06
6. Guest registration
Each stay is reported to SES.Hospedajes within 24 hours of the booking or its cancellation, and the entry form is signed by every person over fourteen.
RD 933/2021 · registro de viajeros (SES.Hospedajes) - 07
7. The national registry was annulled
In judgment 620/2026 the Supreme Court annulled the national Single Registry for short-term lets. The Digital Single Window and the Andalusian registry remain in force — the latter is the one you need.

Local rules in Fuengirola
Fuengirola has a tax quirk worth knowing, and one that is often reported wrongly. The town hall refunds, as a grant, the equivalent of 30% of the IBI, vehicle tax and waste charge bills to residents on the municipal register. From the 2026 financial year, the rules expressly exclude «properties used as tourist dwellings» (BOP Málaga no. 23, 4 February 2026). It is not a surcharge or a new tax: the amount charged is the same; what is lost is a municipal grant. A non-resident owner was in any case already outside it, not being on the register. Having searched the provincial gazette on 23 September 2026, no Fuengirola measure under Decree-law 1/2025 appears: no moratorium, no zoning, no change-of-use requirement.

municipal grant a tourist dwelling loses
The town hall refunds the equivalent of 30% of the IBI, vehicle and waste bills to registered residents; since 2026 the rules exclude properties used as tourist dwellings. It is not a surcharge: it is a grant you don't receive.

occupancy in August and January

How it works
Your home looked after and under control, even from thousands of kilometres away
We are your eyes on the Costa del Sol. And when something happens, we are also the team that can fix it.
- 01
Detection
Sensors never forget to look. A water leak, a door opening, damp or a temperature spike raises an alert there and then, not at next month's visit.
- 02
Alert
The alert reaches our team and is logged in your owner's area. You can see it whenever you want, wherever you are.
- 03
Check
Someone goes to your home and looks. With photos, and with video when it matters. A sensor says something is happening; a person says what it is.
- 04
Action
We shut off whatever needs shutting off — water, power — and make the property safe. That first move is what stops a small problem from swallowing a whole flat.
- 05
Repair, if you approve it
We send you what happened and what it costs to fix. If you say yes, our own team does the work. We are not hunting for a trade or waiting for someone to turn up: they are our people. Repairs and materials are always quoted separately.
- 06
Report
It is written down: what happened, who went in, what was done and what it cost. And it stays in your owner's area for whenever you need it.

“They renovated my business premises and everything went smoothly. They met the deadlines, which was vital for me to open on time. The plasterboard partitioning turned out impeccable. You can tell they have a lot of experience with commercial premises.”
