Valencian Government: 803 holiday rental homes to be removed in Alicante

The Valencian government is updating the Tourism Registry for Tourist Use Homes (VUT).
As a result, properties that have not submitted the necessary documentation will be removed from the list.
In the Alicante province, a total of 803 homes will be deregistered.
In Santa Pola, the little fishing village known for its tourism surge during the summer, particularly from visitors in Elche and second homeowners, deregistered properties have been identified in several areas, including Marismas urbanisation, Playa Paraíso II, Paraíso I, and Gran Alacant, along with some isolated streets.
In Elche, which is focusing on increasing its tourism appeal, four properties have been removed from the registry. These properties are located in high-demand areas, popular with tourists and second homeowners. Two of the deregistered homes are located in Arenales del Sol, one in the Infinity View residential complex on Calle Valladolid, and another in the Ocean View Phase 1 development on Calle Algeciras.
Additionally, two other properties in L’Altet have been deregistered: one on Calle Vereda del Sur in the Los Limoneros development, and another in a more isolated rural area.
Elche currently has 950 VUT properties registered, but only 200 of these are active. The majority of these homes are concentrated in Arenales del Sol, with 671 properties, and in the urban area with 116 properties. Other areas include La Marina (86 properties), El Altet (15 properties), and Jubalcoi (12 properties).
