What is an Ibiza Tourist Licence?

A Tourist Licence in Ibiza is the authorisation or registration associated with a property that is permitted to operate as tourist accommodation under the applicable Balearic Islands tourism regulations.

You may see tourist licence references displayed on Ibiza villa listings using formats or prefixes such as ETV or other registration formats depending on the type of accommodation and when or where it was registered.

For holidaymakers, the tourist licence information is useful because it helps identify a property that has been registered for tourist accommodation under the relevant regional system.

When browsing our collection, look for the Tourist Licence Number shown on the individual villa page.

What is an NRU Number in Spain?

NRU is commonly used to refer to Spain's Número de Registro Único, or Unique Registration Number, connected with the national registration framework for short-term accommodation.

The national system was introduced to improve the identification and oversight of properties advertised as short-term accommodation, particularly on online rental platforms.

An NRU is associated with an individual property or rental unit and provides a unique identifier that can be used in connection with short-term rental listings.

Is an NRU the Same as an Ibiza Tourist Licence?

No. An NRU and an Ibiza Tourist Licence are not the same thing.

An Ibiza tourist licence relates to the regional rules governing tourist accommodation in the Balearic Islands.

The NRU relates to Spain's national framework for identifying short-term rental accommodation.

Where a property is subject to regional tourist licensing requirements, obtaining or displaying a national registration number should not be understood as replacing the relevant Balearic Islands tourist authorisation.

This means you may see both a Tourist Licence Number and an NRU associated with an Ibiza holiday villa.
