Renting a villa in Ibiza, legally.
Tourist licences, registration numbers and the checks that protect your booking.
Holiday rentals in the Balearic Islands need a tourist licence, and enforcement has tightened. Before paying a deposit, check that the villa is legally registered, how many guests it is licensed for and who you are dealing with.
The tourist licence.
Short-term tourist rentals of homes in the Balearic Islands require a tourist licence and a registration number. Listings are expected to show it, and authorities have stepped up action against illegal rentals. Rules evolve, so verify the current requirements with the Consell d’Eivissa or the Balearic tourism authority.
Check before you pay.
- Ask for the licence number and check it matches the property.
- Licensed capacity. A villa is licensed for a maximum number of guests; do not exceed it.
- Who is the counterpart? Prefer an agency with a company address and a written contract.
- Deposit and payment terms in writing, with the cancellation policy.
- House rules on noise and events: large parties may be restricted.
Events at the villa.
Hosting a party at a rented villa often needs the owner’s permission and respect for noise limits. We organise private events with licensed suppliers so you do not risk the deposit; see private events.
Pick the right area.
Once the villa is legal, choose the area. See our guide to where to stay in Ibiza.
Plan it with us.
We work with villas that meet the legal requirements and confirm licence and capacity before we send you any proposal.
