Holiday rental licence in Mallorca (ETV): what you need to know

What the ETV licence is, why it is mandatory and how to run your villa’s holiday rental legally.

To rent your villa to tourists in Mallorca you need a tourist rental licence (ETV). Operating without one carries significant penalties from the Balearic government.

The licence is tied to the property and requires meeting habitability and safety standards and, in many cases, holding tourist places. The rules change often, so it is worth taking advice before you invest.

Good holiday rental management is not only about bookings and cleaning, but about keeping your villa compliant so you can operate with peace of mind.
