Expect to pay nearly €110 more per week for beach rentals in Spain this summer

Holidaymakers will spend nearly €110 more per week, on average, to rent a holiday home on the Spanish coast in 2025, an increase of between 6% and 7% compared to the previous year, according to a new report by Grupo Tecnitasa, which places the average weekly rental price at €1,270.

Although this rise marks a slowdown from the nearly 10% increase recorded the previous year, holiday rental prices have still seen a cumulative increase of almost 40% since 2020. Moreover, in the last five years, the trend has approached double digits on more than one occasion.

The gap between the highest and lowest coastal holiday rents in Spain remains considerable. In premium locations such as Puerto Banús (Marbella, Málaga), 110 m² flats are renting for as much as €3,700 per week. In Santanyí (Mallorca), larger 250 m² properties are available for slightly less, at €3,400 per week.

More affordable options can be found in areas like Valdenoja (Santander), where 30 m² flats are being let for €510 per week. Similarly, towns in the Valencian Community, such as Moncófar and Vinaroz (Castellón), offer 70 m² rentals for around €550 per week.

This year, Andalusia have experienced the most significant price increases, particularly in Cádiz and Málaga, where weekly rental prices have risen by over 12% on average.

Other regions experiencing notable growth include A Coruña, Lugo, Barcelona, Girona and Vizcaya, with increases ranging between 6% and 12%. Meanwhile, Castellón, Alicante, Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Las Palmas, the Balearic Islands, Tarragona, Murcia and Gipuzkoa have reported more moderate rises of between 3% and 6%.

In contrast, prices have remained relatively stable in Pontevedra, Valencia, Huelva, Almería, Granada, Asturias and Cantabria.

According to Fernando García Marcos, Technical Director at Grupo Tecnitasa, “the coastal holiday rental market is highly time-sensitive, influenced by a wide range of factors. Perhaps most unexpectedly, during the early months of the year, the supply tends to be higher and includes the best-located properties or those with smaller floor areas. As a result – somewhat paradoxically– we are seeing higher unit prices during these months than in periods closer to the peak summer season.”
