The LAU Strategy: Secure Real Estate Investment on Fuerteventura Beyond Ley 6/2025
With the implementation of Ley 6/2025 on November 12th, 2025, the Canary Islands introduced a new regulatory framework that fundamentally reshapes the market for short‑term holiday rentals (Vivienda Vacacional – VV).
While many investors are unsettled by the 10‑year restriction on new builds and increasingly strict zoning rules, AMV INTERNATIONAL REALTY offers a solution that is legally sound, future‑proof and immediately applicable: the LAU Strategy — our boutique investment approach for discerning clients.
What the LAU Strategy Means for You as an Investor
LAU refers to the Ley de Arrendamientos Urbanos, Spain’s national tenancy law.
Unlike tourist rentals (VV), which fall under the highly regulated Canary Islands tourism legislation, the LAU Strategy is based on rentals for “uses other than permanent residence” (uso distinto de vivienda). This creates a legally stable framework for high‑quality mid‑term rentals — independent of tourism restrictions.
-
No 10‑year waiting period: New builds can be rented from day one after completion.
-
No tourist licence required: Fully independent of VV zoning and municipal capacity limits.
-
Strong demand: Digital nomads, remote professionals, project workers and long‑stay winter residents seek stays of 1–10 months.
-
Predictable returns: Less seasonality, more stability, higher occupancy consistency.
Understanding the new legal landscape is essential for making informed investment decisions.
