By Kamila Bukowska, founder of CASA READY · As of October 2026
Short answer
Is holiday renting in El Campello worth it? Not for new landlords at the moment: new licences are suspended. Right now El Campello is mainly interesting for own use and long-term letting. Actively rented holiday homes in El Campello are booked 66% of the time according to AirDNA (October 2025 to September 2026), at an average of €162 per night. For a newly launched two-bedroom apartment we plan with 58% in the first year, around 191 booked nights at €145. That means around €27,695 gross income per year; €24,360 to €31,610 depending on the scenario (cautious to market level).
The figures for El Campello
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.
| Scenario | Occupancy | Nights per year | Gross income 2-bed |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cautious | 51% | 168 | €24,360 |
| Plan value first year | 58% | 191 | €27,695 |
| Market level | 66% | 218 | €31,610 |
Gross income = booked nights × plan rate for 2 bedrooms (€145), before platform fees, management, running costs and taxes; 330 marketable nights. Our method is explained in the comparison of all 16 towns.
