Si tu vivienda en Estepona ya tiene licencia VUT, vale más que nunca: el Ayuntamiento aprobó en 2024 una moratoria de hasta tres años tras superar las 13.000 viviendas registradas, congelando la oferta legal mientras la demanda sigue. Bliss Homes te paga una renta fija de 1.100–1.800 € en un apartamento a desde 2.500 € en una villa, esté ocupada o no, con contrato mínimo de 1 año. Sin licencia, no se puede tramitar mientras dure la moratoria.
The owner of Estepona has an asset that can no longer be manufacture
Estepona passed into a decade of charming fishing town to one of the most solid destinations of Costa del Sol: The old town of flowers, the marina, the New Golden Mile Marbella, golf, blue flag beaches and an international visitor profile - British, Scandinavian, Dutch and French - that lengthen the season far beyond summer.
That success had a regulatory effect: with more than 13.000 registered tourist housing, The town council approved at 2024 a Temporary suspension of new VUT registrations A moratorium of up to three years. The housing currently registered with RTA remains licensed and they continue to operate normally and new ones currently cannot come in.
For you, licensed owner, this changes the board: your home forms part of an offer frozen in a market with demand growing. And yet, many of these housing license are under-exploited or directly stopped, because manage them - guests, cleanes, incidents, platforms - it's a job that its owner doesn't or cannot do, especially if she lives in Madrid, London or Stockholm.
The guaranteed rental resolves exactly that: Bliss Homes sign a lease The first day of every month and operates the housing with all costs and risks at our disposal. Your license works and you don't.

The legislation at Estepona: Municipal moratorium and an Andalusian framework
In Andalucía, houses for tourist use are regulated by Decreto 28/2016, Reformed by Decreto 31/2024that tightened technical requirements and gave expressed capacity to restrict VUT by area. Estepona used that capacity: Municipal moratorium approved at 2024 suspend new registration housing tourism for up to three years while the constancy redefines its urban model.
What it means in practice:
- If your housing's already registered with RTA, conserva la licencia y puede operar con normalidad. Es el caso ideal para el alquiler garantizado, y Bliss se encarga de mantener el registro autonómico al día — ese código RTA es el que exigen las plataformas para publicar (Reglamento UE 2024/1028); el registro único estatal (NRA) de julio de 2025 fue anulado por el Tribunal Supremo en mayo de 2026, more details here).
- If your community of owners haven't vetted VUT - since April of 2025 DIY 1 / 2025 allows to ban new tourist housing with a majority of 3 / 5 - your existing license remains protected. We checked before the proposal.
- If your place isn't licensedand we say this to you at once: as long as the moratorium lasts, we cannot conduct a new high at Estepona. In some cases we studied the path of season rental (art. 3 Lau) - stays from one to several months by golf, telework or works - that does not require VUT license. It's assessed on a case-by-case basis.
