Valencia just rewrote the playbook on holiday rentals.
Valencia just rewrote the playbook on holiday rentals.
No night cap.
No licence freeze.
A hard density ceiling written into planning law.
The numbers:
→ 2% max holiday rentals per neighbourhood
→ 8% max tourist beds per district (hotels included)
→ 15% max ground-floor tourist use
→ Effective April 2026
Why it's a big deal:
It's not a tourism rule. It's a planning rule.
That makes it harder to challenge.
And easier to enforce through land use.
The catch?
9,000+ unregistered tourist apartments are still operating in Valencia.
That's nearly double the city's hotel capacity.
A density cap only…
