Holiday-let licence quota in Adeje

95 % of the quota used ~210 places left Practically exhausted

In Adeje the quota is practically exhausted: around 210 places remain. Buying here «for holiday letting» without an already-consolidated licence is betting on getting one of those places. In practice you are buying the licence, not the property: ask for it in writing before you sign.

It is municipality number 2 of the 18 we track, and 1 of the 3 in Tenerife. The legal cap here is 10 % of the housing stock, and this municipality sits +11 points from its island average of 84 %.

If the holiday-let route is closed

With the quota exhausted, two routes still work: letting as a main residence — which is also the use the Canary Islands Investment Reserve requires — and medium-term letting, which has its own winter demand in the islands and does not depend on the tourist quota.

What is a home worth across the eight islands?

An estimate from comparables in the catalogue, island by island, with the adjustment almost nobody shows: what you ask for, and what actually closes before a notary.

Investor mode

Gross yield per micro-zone computed on real notarial closing prices, not asking prices. Three scenarios, because Law 6/2025 changes which one is viable.

Method: notarial closing (Notaries 2025) + rents published on portals 2026

For professionals

The same estimate, with unlimited queries and a PDF report carrying the agency’s own branding, to take into a listing pitch.

The eight islands, one by one

Every island is a different market: its climate, its protected land, its holiday-rental quota and its kind of buyer. This is what a mainland portal will not tell you.

Protection designations: Spanish National Parks network, UNESCO and the World Network of Biosphere Reserves.

For agencies and independent advisers

Each plan switches on specific tools. Whatever is not in your plan stays visible, switched off, so you know what you are missing.

If the adviser leaves the agency

Their video is deactivated automatically and they decide whether to reactivate it with their new agency. Properties and enquiries stay with the agency: they belong to the business, not the person.
