Since the pandemic summer, the average weekly summer rental price has increased by €230. Consequently, those looking to rent a property on a Spanish beach for a week can expect tp pay an average of €1,035.
Summer and holidays are just around the corner and most people have already planned their holidays for the months of July and August. Beach resorts still remain a favourite destination for summer holidays. But those planning to rent a holiday home in a seaside resort this year will have to dig deep into their pockets. Especially if it is right by the sea. The cost has increased by 3.75% compared to last year.
Specialist housing portal Idealista has published a report on the rise in these rents, basing itself on data from valuation, consultancy and sustainability group Tecnitasa. According to the latter, the average increase in Spain this year is €40 per week rented, rising from €1,016 per week in 2002 to €1,055 in 2023. Furthermore, Tecnitasa explains that since the summer of the pandemic, the increase in rental costs is more than 27%. This amounts to an extra €230 per week.
