A+Frequently Asked Questions
Which part of Spain is best for Airbnb investment?
It depends on the trade-off. The Canary Islands offer year-round occupancy; the Balearics offer scarce, licence-protected supply with premium summer rates; the Costa del Sol offers the deepest market with the easiest licence; the Costa Brava offers premium demand under the strictest rules. The cards above show live numbers for each.
Do I need a licence to run an Airbnb in Spain?
Yes — twice over. Every short-term rental needs a national registration number (NRA, mandatory since July 2025), plus the regional licence: ETV in the Balearics, VV in the Canaries, VUT in Andalusia, HUT in Catalonia. Availability differs sharply by region — it is the core of the investment decision.
Where does this data come from?
Brixfox tracks live Airbnb availability calendars across 60+ Spanish areas and derives occupancy, ADR and net yield from observed bookings — the same engine behind our Bali, Portugal and Dubai markets. Real market data, not survey estimates.
How is net yield calculated?
True net: projected rental income minus realistic costs (management, IBI, income tax, insurance, furnishing) over the all-in acquisition cost (price + ITP/transfer tax, notary, legal). It is the number you actually keep as a non-resident, fully-managed owner — not gross-on-asking.
