Barcelona is shutting down every Airbnb-style apartment in the city. All of them. By November 2028.

Mayor Jaume Collboni announced the plan in June 2024: the city would stop issuing new licenses for tourist apartments and would not renew any of the 10,101 existing ones when they expire. Property owners fought it in court. In March 2025, Spain's Constitutional Court dismissed their appeals and gave Barcelona full legal authority to proceed. The ban is now locked in.

The reason is housing. Over the past decade, rents in Barcelona rose 68% and home prices climbed 38%. Residents -- especially young people -- have been squeezed out of neighborhoods where short-term rentals took over entire buildings. The city decided enough was enough.

What changes for visitors? After 2028, you won't be able to rent an entire apartment for a short stay in Barcelona. Hotels, hostels, and licensed guesthouses will still operate. But the era of booking a flat in the Eixample or the Gothic Quarter through Airbnb will be over.

Barcelona is the first major European city to go this far. Other cities like London and Paris cap how many nights a property can be rented each year. Barcelona is ending the whole thing.

Last-minute summer plans are looking a little different this year—more and more clients aren’t asking where to go next, they’re asking where to go back.
Back to Italy, Greece, London, places they already love, but with a slower pace, a different hotel, or a new perspective that makes it feel entirely fresh.

There’s something to be said for returning. You skip the surface-level planning and get to experience a destination more deeply, with the right stays and experiences making all the difference.

Let me guess. You’ve been saying “I’m not a cruise person” your entire life. Plot twist → You just haven’t been matched to the right cruise.

Cruise lines have segmented more than hotels ever did. You just need to know where you fit. That’s where I come in.

Best part? The biggest sales of the YEAR are happening right now (Jan-Mar). Head to the link in my bio to get planning.
