- Location
- Property Type
- Market Conditions

- Licensing Requirements
A professional evaluation of investment objectives is always recommended.
Holiday Rentals & ETV Licences
One of the most important considerations for buyers seeking rental income is understanding Ibiza’s tourist rental regulations.
ETV Licence · Estancia Turística en Vivienda
Properties used for short-term holiday rentals generally require an ETV licence. Not every property can legally be rented to tourists, so understanding a property’s licensing status is an important part of the acquisition process.
