Holiday Rental Compliance in Murcia
Tourist dwelling registration, SES Hospedajes guest registration, and NRA compliance — we manage the rules across the Región de Murcia and the Costa Cálida.
Compliance for Murcia holiday rentals
The Región de Murcia is its own autonomous community, with a holiday rental framework administered separately from neighbouring Valencia and Andalusia. From the Costa Cálida resorts of La Manga del Mar Menor, Mazarrón, and Águilas to the historic centres of Murcia city and Cartagena, tourist rentals must be registered as Viviendas de Uso Turístico with the regional tourism registry before being advertised.
The national SES Hospedajes requirement (Royal Decree 933/2021, in force since December 2024) applies to every holiday rental in Murcia. Owners must submit ID data for all guests over 14 within 24 hours of arrival — whether the booking comes through Airbnb, Booking.com, or directly. The obligation sits with the property owner or operator, not the platform, and applies regardless of the length of stay.
Murcia follows mainland Spain's tax rules: rental income is subject to IRPF, with IVA at 10% where hotel-like services are provided. The region does not currently levy a separate tourist tax. From January 2025, all listings must display a national NRA number in addition to the regional tourist registration number.
Legal requirements for Murcia rental owners
Tourist Dwelling Registration (Región de Murcia)
Properties must be registered as Viviendas de Uso Turístico with the Región de Murcia's tourism registry (Registro de Empresas y Actividades Turísticas) via a responsible declaration. The registration number must appear on all listing platforms before the property is advertised.
NRA Registration
From January 2025, all Spanish holiday rentals must also display a national Número de Registro de Alquiler from the VUDA system, in addition to the regional registration number.
SES Hospedajes Guest Registration
Under Royal Decree 933/2021, ID data for every guest over 14 must be submitted within 24 hours of arrival. Fines for non-compliance range from €600 to €30,000 per breach.
Income Tax / IVA
Murcia is subject to mainland Spanish tax rules. Rental income is subject to IRPF. IVA at 10% may apply if hotel-like services are included in the rental.

Frequently asked questions
How do I register a holiday rental in the Región de Murcia?
You register your property as a Vivienda de Uso Turístico with the Región de Murcia's tourism registry by submitting a responsible declaration (declaración responsable). The property must meet minimum habitability standards, and the registration number must be displayed on all listings before you start advertising.
Does SES Hospedajes apply to La Manga and Mar Menor properties?
Yes. Royal Decree 933/2021 applies across the entire Región de Murcia, including La Manga del Mar Menor, Cartagena, Mazarrón, Águilas, and Murcia city. ID data for every guest over 14 must be submitted within 24 hours of arrival, regardless of location within the region.
Is there a tourist tax in Murcia?
The Región de Murcia does not currently levy a regional tourist tax on overnight stays, unlike the Balearic Islands or Catalonia. However, the national SES Hospedajes guest registration and NRA requirements apply in full, as does mainland Spanish income tax (IRPF) on your rental earnings.
Can Villa Check In handle compliance for multiple Costa Cálida properties?
Yes. We work with private owners and property managers across the Costa Cálida and the wider Región de Murcia. Our system handles multiple properties under a single account and integrates with leading Property Management Systems to automate guest registration.
