Holiday rental management in Torremolinos

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. Torremolinos has 5,685 registered tourist dwellings with 25,062 declared places (registry data as of 22 September 2026), alongside 91 registered hotels.

   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.

   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.

   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.

   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.

   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 Torremolinos

   Two things are specific to Torremolinos. First, planning: the 2020 general plan was annulled and, according to the town hall's own information note, the plan in force since 23 January 2024 is the 1996-1997 General Plan; a new plan was commissioned in February 2025 with a 32-month timetable. It matters because the responsible declaration states the home complies with planning: it is worth checking which plan its permits were granted under. The municipal planning website still labels the 2020 plan as being in force, contradicting its own note. Second, tax: since 1 January 2025 the waste ordinance charges, where an activity is carried out in a home, only for that activity — €17 per place with a €363 minimum plus a €134 landfill surcharge — against €140-340 for a home with no activity; the ordinance text does not name tourist dwellings, that reading comes from the municipal press release. Having searched the full text of the provincial gazette on 22 September 2026, no Torremolinos measure under Decree-law 1/2025 appears; council minutes require digital identification and we could not read them, so it is worth confirming with the planning department.
