No, this kind of policy is available for holiday homes in: France, Ireland, Greece, Portugal, Southern Cyprus, and the UK.

If you use the property for holidays or holiday lets only, then it is likely that your property will be classed as a holiday home. If you have a property which you visit more often, say for work or to visit nearby relatives, then it may be considered a second home for insurance purposes. See our second home insurance page for more information.

Even if your Spanish property does not fit the definition of a holiday home, our underwriting team can assess your unique circumstances and may be able to provide a tailored policy for you. Your property may be eligible for second home insurance - but if not, we may still be able to find you an appropriate cover. Please call the team to discuss your situation.

Unfortunately, emergencies do happen. If an issue occurs and you must travel to your holiday home, we may pay up to £300 in travel expenses for you and a family member to travel to the property, plus a sum towards alternative accommodation.

We have provided a summary of the key features of the policy, above. For details of the terms and conditions applicable, please refer to the insurance product information document and policy wording, which are available during the quotation process.
