Lloret de Mar is one of the Costa Brava's most practical destinations for booking a holiday apartment or house, combining beaches, coves, services and a broad accommodation offer. In 2026, choosing professionally managed holiday accommodation matters even more. The Town Council has reinforced inspections of tourist-use homes (HUT), while Lloret is no longer granting new HUT licences; only changes of holder and deregistrations are processed. For guests, knowing who stands behind a property is increasingly valuable. AllCostaBrava works locally in Lloret de Mar: we know the area and are here to help before and during your stay.
What is the advantage of booking with an agency based in Lloret de Mar?
The main advantage is having a local team that understands the destination and the real context of each property. Square metres and photographs do not tell the whole story. Practical walking distance to the beach, hills, car access, parking, neighbourhood atmosphere and nearby shops or restaurants can all shape a holiday.
Different parts of Lloret offer different experiences. A central apartment may suit guests who want to walk everywhere; a residential house may suit a family looking for space, a terrace or peace and quiet. We start by understanding the stay you want and helping you choose among our available apartments and houses. Browse Lloret de Mar to compare options.
What is happening with tourist-use homes in Lloret in 2026?
In June 2026, Lloret Town Council announced the second year of its dedicated tourist-home inspection service. Two inspectors work from April to October with support from the Administrative Police. According to the council, the service's first year resulted in approximately 50 proceedings and fines totalling €20,000, or €10,000 with immediate payment.
This does not mean holiday rentals have disappeared. It means the distinction between compliant and irregular activity matters increasingly. A HUT is a home made available by its owner to third parties for tourist stays under the applicable rules.
Why does regulation matter to guests too?
A more closely supervised market can make it easier to identify accommodation operating within the relevant framework and to know who to contact. Spain's Royal Decree 1312/2024 introduced a Single Rental Register and Digital One-Stop Shop framework, although several parts of that procedure were annulled by Supreme Court judgments in May and June 2026. Regulations therefore need to be checked against current rules and each property's circumstances. For guests, the practical principle is simple: choose identifiable accommodation, clear conditions and a real point of contact.
Should you choose an apartment or a house in Lloret de Mar?
A holiday apartment is often practical for couples, small groups and families who want nearby services and fewer journeys. As a rough guide, for stays of 3–7 nights a convenient location can help you make better use of each day, although the right choice depends on your plans.
A holiday house can work better for families or groups prioritising outdoor space, privacy and shared areas. Check access, whether a car is needed and the real route to beaches and services rather than straight-line distance.
Prices vary substantially by season, capacity, location, views, pool, parking and facilities. Any price range is therefore only indicative once dates and guest numbers are known.
Which nearby destinations should you compare with Lloret?
Lloret is an excellent base, but travellers wanting a compact historic setting can browse Tossa de Mar. Those who value rail connections, urban services and the southern gateway to the Costa Brava can compare Blanes. The towns are relatively close, but the holiday experience differs.
What should you check before booking?
Check authorised capacity, bed layout, location, check-in and check-out conditions, cancellation policy, facilities and possible extra charges. Travelling by car? Confirm parking. Travelling with children? Check access, stairs, pool arrangements and the practical distance to the beach.
A NIE is Spain's Foreigner Identity Number and is not a tourist licence. ITP is Transfer Tax, mainly relevant to certain property purchases, while municipal plusvalía is a tax connected with certain transfers of urban property. These concepts should not be confused with holiday-booking requirements.
Why does “we are here” make a difference?
You can book online from anywhere, but your holiday takes place in a real location. Keys, addresses, beaches, roads and unexpected issues need local answers. AllCostaBrava is in Lloret de Mar. We know the surroundings and can guide you through our available apartments and houses.
