Actively rented holiday homes in Benidorm are booked 66% of the time according to AirDNA (October 2025 to September 2026), at an average of €149 per night. For a newly launched two-bedroom apartment we plan with 58% in the first year, around 191 booked nights at €135.

The figures for Benidorm
Three scenarios for a two-bedroom apartment. The plan value applies to the first year of letting, without reviews or repeat guests; the market level is what established homes achieve today.

| Plan value first year | 58% | 191 | €25,785 |
| Market level | 66% | 218 | €29,430 |
