Is holiday renting in Pilar de la Horadada worth it? Yes, if location and finish are right: no moratorium is known and licences are being granted. Actively rented holiday homes in Pilar de la Horadada are booked 61% of the time according to AirDNA (October 2025 to September 2026), at an average of €129 per night. For a newly launched two-bedroom apartment we plan with 53% in the first year, around 175 booked nights at €115. That means around €20,125 gross income per year; €17,480 to €23,115 depending on the scenario (cautious to market level).
The figures for Pilar de la Horadada
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 | 46% | 152 | €17,480 |
| Plan value first year | 53% | 175 | €20,125 |
| Market level | 61% | 201 | €23,115 |
Gross income = booked nights × plan rate for 2 bedrooms (€115), before platform fees, management, running costs and taxes; 330 marketable nights. Our method is explained in the comparison of all 16 towns.
