“We are seeing strong demand concentration on compliant properties in Málaga as unlicensed inventory leaves the market. For owners with a valid licence, professional management has never mattered more.”
With 10+ years of experience in real estate, proptech, and short-term rental management, Lorenzo leads GuestReady’s operations across Málaga and Spain. He has deep knowledge of Andalusia’s VUT regulations, the Málaga licence moratorium, VUT registration and compliance, and neighbourhood-level pricing strategy for Málaga hosts.
Short-let rules in Málaga — handled
Málaga’s cultural and commercial heart draws year-round city-break and culture travellers. The moratorium applies: existing VUT licences only, no new licences.
Relaxed seafront neighbourhoods with strong summer demand. The moratorium applies, but demand is high.
Beyond Málaga city, these municipalities set their own rules, and some still issue new tourist-rental licences. GuestReady can advise on coverage and licensing here.
A creative, central district popular with younger travellers. The moratorium applies.
An upscale residential area suited to higher-end stays. The moratorium applies.
Málaga’s short-let market is now shaped by licence status. With the city’s VUT moratorium in place, compliant properties have become more protected and supply-constrained.
You own the property. We take care of everything else.

The Basics
A full-service Airbnb management company handles everything from listing creation and professional photography to guest communication, check-ins, housekeeping, maintenance support, and multi-platform distribution. GuestReady’s Málaga team manages all of this on your behalf, including VUT compliance, so you can earn from your property without the day-to-day workload.
Your property can appear across all major booking channels, including Airbnb, Booking.com, Vrbo, Google Vacation Rentals, and Book with GuestReady, our own direct booking platform. All channels sync calendars, rates, and reservations in real time, eliminating double bookings and missed messages.
GuestReady manages licensed short-let properties across Málaga, from the historic centre and Soho to coastal neighbourhoods such as Pedregalejo and El Palo and residential areas like El Limonar. We also work with owners across the wider Costa del Sol, including Torremolinos, Benalmádena and Fuengirola. Share your property address and we will confirm coverage.
Payment and pricing
GuestReady charges a commission of 20% on rental income. Our results depend directly on yours, so we have every incentive to maximise your property’s performance. New properties are subject to a one-time onboarding fee, which covers professional photography, listing creation across multiple languages, and distribution setup across all major platforms.
Earnings vary by neighbourhood, property type, and season. Across the Málaga market, AirROI reports an average daily rate of around $186 and occupancy of about 49.9%, with average annual revenue of roughly $26,673. Because no new licences are being issued in Málaga city, licensed apartments capture a growing share of demand, and active pricing management helps maximise revenue. We will prepare a property-specific estimate for you.
For owners who already hold a valid VUT licence, Málaga is an attractive market in 2026. The citywide moratorium on new licences has fixed the supply of legal tourist apartments through to around 2028, while visitor demand continues to grow, concentrating bookings on compliant properties. The key requirement is a valid licence and proper compliance, which GuestReady manages for you.
Regulations and strategy
In Málaga city, generally no. Since August 2025 the city has applied a three-year moratorium on new VUT (Vivienda de Uso Turístico) licences across the whole municipality, expected to run until around 2028 or until a new urban plan is adopted. If you already held a valid VUT before the moratorium, you can continue operating. Some Costa del Sol municipalities outside the city still issue new licences. We can help you check your specific situation.
In August 2025, Málaga City Council approved a three-year freeze on new tourist-rental (VUT) licences across the entire city. It followed earlier restrictions in June 2024 and a January 2025 freeze in 43 neighbourhoods where tourist rentals exceeded 8% of housing stock. The effect is that the supply of legal tourist apartments in Málaga city is fixed for the duration. GuestReady manages only properties with a valid VUT licence.
To advertise a property in Málaga you need a valid VUT (Vivienda de Uso Turístico) registration with the Junta de Andalucía, and your VUT number must appear on every listing. Guest data must also be reported through SES.HOSPEDAJES. GuestReady checks your VUT registration before listing and keeps your listing compliant.
Yes. The moratorium restricts new licences; it does not stop licensed properties from operating. GuestReady manages properties that hold a valid VUT licence, keeps your VUT registration and guest reporting in order, and runs day-to-day operations so you stay compliant and hands-off throughout the freeze.
