Holiday rental in Guardamar: occupancy, prices and licence 2026
By Kamila Bukowska, founder of CASA READY · As of October 2026
Short answer
Is holiday renting in Guardamar worth it? Possible, but only after a case-by-case check: licensing is restricted or unclear. Actively rented holiday homes in Guardamar are booked 62% of the time according to AirDNA (October 2025 to September 2026), at an average of €111 per night. For a newly launched two-bedroom apartment we plan with 54% in the first year, around 178 booked nights at €100. That means around €17,800 gross income per year; €15,500 to €20,500 depending on the scenario (cautious to market level).
The figures for Guardamar
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 | 47% | 155 | €15,500 |
| Plan value first year | 54% | 178 | €17,800 |
| Market level | 62% | 205 | €20,500 |
Gross income = booked nights × plan rate for 2 bedrooms (€100), before platform fees, management, running costs and taxes; 330 marketable nights. Our method is explained in the comparison of all 16 towns.
Season: occupancy month by month
This is how the plan value of 54% spreads over the year, based on the official INE seasonal pattern for the Costa Blanca (INE does not publish separate monthly figures for Guardamar).
