They estimate that there are about 4,000 spaces and that, faced with regulatory obstacles, the owners are forced to turn to the illegal market.

The Association of Tourist Holiday Homes estimates that there are currently around 4,000 holiday home places in Ibiza that are rented “alegally or illegally”.
In statements to Radio Ibiza, the president of ATAV, José Antoni Llano, has indicated that these are single-family houses or villas on rural land, which meet the requirements to enter the regulated offer, but which encounter two obstacles. On the one hand, the validity of the moratorium approved by the Government – and which it does not plan to lift at least this season – which prevents new places from being registered on the islands. And, on the other, the initial approval of the specific modification of the Insular Territorial Plan (PTI) that prohibits new rustic tourist rentals.
In this sense, Llano has argued that this pushes owners to turn to the illegal market. “They want to comply with the law, pay taxes, offer a quality product, but they cannot and what they do is continue marketing themselves outside the legal market,” he stated.
For this reason, it asks the Consell de Ibiza for solutions to regularize this type of offer and differentiate this type of offer from tourist apartments in multi-family buildings. “It is an important number of places that could improve the quality of the product,” stated the president of AVAT.
Moratorium
The Government of the Balearic Islands has already announced that it does not plan to lift the tourism moratorium during this season, so single-family homes cannot be registered to be marketed as Vacation Tourist Stays (ETV). “It will be lifted when it is considered appropriate, but the first of all and the most important thing is to establish limits by each of the councils,” he expressed.
In this sense, the president of the Ibiza Council, Vicent Marí, has said that it will be maintained until the Intervention Plan for Tourist Areas (PIAT) is completed. At this point, he has hinted that he will eliminate the pool of places.
"Ibiza does not need more tourist places at this time," he stated, while adding that "as long as we do not have the PIAT we are not going to open the pool of places because what could happen is that we would have an avalanche of applications. "That diagnosis will tell what we have to do, but I imagine that the final result will be that those 9,000 places will be eliminated from the stock market."
Double ban
The Consell has approved a modification to the Island Territorial Plan that prohibits tourist rentals on rural land. Therefore, if at some point the moratorium is lifted, it could not be rented for tourist purposes on rural land either because the PTI would prohibit it.

AVAT estimates that 4,000 holiday home spaces in Ibiza are marketed "illegally"
The president of the association says that many meet the requirements to be 'part of the regulated offer and asks for their regulation

The Ibiza holiday home sector estimates that there are currently around 4,000 places that are marketed "alegally or illegally" on the island.
They are single-family houses or villas on rustic land, which meet the requirements to enter the regulated offer, but which encounter two obstacles. On the one hand, the moratorium approved in the last legislature by the Government that prevents new places from being registered on the islands. And to this is added the initial approval of the specific modification of the Insular Territorial Plan (PTI) that prohibits new rural tourist rentals.
With this scenario, the tourist housing association (AVAT) is clear that the administrations must combat intrusion, but they also ask the Consell for formulas so that this type of offer can be regularized.
Its president, José Antoni Llano, emphasizes that the owners of these homes "want to comply with the law, pay taxes, offer a quality product, but they cannot and what they do is continue marketing themselves outside the legal market."
Llano emphasizes that this type of illegal or illegal offer should be differentiated from tourist apartments in multi-family buildings. He says that it is an "important" number of places that could improve the quality of the product.
According to the calculations currently made by AVAT, the regulated supply of the sector amounts to about 19,000 places.
