Buying property in Benidorm

Benidorm is the highest-rented resort destination in Spain and the only Mediterranean town with an entirely year-round tourist economy — the British and Nordic markets keep occupancy levels above 75% through January and February when the rest of the Spanish coast is closed. For property investors, this translates into the most predictable, highest-yielding holiday-let market on the Spanish coast. The city packs 70,000 permanent residents (peaking at 400,000 in summer) into a 38 km² footprint dominated by 200+ high-rise towers around the two Blue Flag beaches of Levante and Poniente. Property prices remain modest by Costa Blanca standards — entry-level apartments from €95,000 — while the Valencia regional tourist-licence regime is well-established.

Benidorm property market 2026

Benidorm tower-block apartment prices rose around 7% in 2024 and remain dominated by holiday-let investors — over 60% of transactions are buy-to-let. Typical 1-bed Levante apartment with rental licence: €120,000–€180,000, generating €11,000–€16,000 gross annual rent at 7–9% yield. Typical 2-bed: €180,000–€280,000 at similar yields. Sea-view penthouses €350,000–€800,000. Owner-occupier supply is tightening as Valencia caps new tourist-rental licences in saturated postcodes — properties with existing licences command a 10–15% premium. Long-term rentals to Spanish residents yield 5–6% with no licence required.

Buying process for international buyers

Benidorm purchases run 6–10 weeks. Tax and fee structure as the rest of the Valencia region: 10% ITP on resales (10% IVA + 1.5% AJD on new builds), plus 1–2% notary/registry and 1% legal — 11–13% total. The critical step for investor buyers is verifying any existing tourist-rental licence ("licencia turística") in the property's name with your lawyer before signing — Valencia has frozen new licences in saturated zones, so the licence is itself a significant part of the value.

Frequently asked questions about buying in Benidorm

Is Benidorm a good investment for holiday lets?
Yes — Benidorm has the highest holiday-let yields on the Spanish coast (7–10% gross on licensed 1- and 2-bed apartments) and the longest tourist season in mainland Europe, with 75%+ occupancy through January and February when the rest of the Spanish coast is shut. The key is buying a property that already has a Valencia tourist-rental licence, as new licences are frozen in much of the town.
How much does an apartment in Benidorm cost?
1-bed apartments in the Levante and Rincón de Loix area start at €95,000–€120,000, with rental-licensed units at €120,000–€180,000. 2-bed apartments €150,000–€280,000. Sea-view penthouses in the iconic towers range from €300,000 to €800,000+ for Intempo and similar landmark buildings.
Is Benidorm only for British tourists?
Despite the reputation, only around 40% of Benidorm's visitors are British. Nordic, Dutch, Belgian, German and increasingly Eastern European tourists make up the rest, alongside a large year-round Spanish weekend market from Madrid and Valencia. The city has the most diversified tourist base of any Spanish resort.
Do I need a Valencia tourist-rental licence to let my Benidorm apartment?
Yes — short-term holiday lets (under 11 days) require a Valencia regional tourist-rental licence registered with the Generalitat Valenciana. New licences are currently frozen in the most saturated postcodes (much of central Benidorm), so buying a property with an existing transferable licence is significantly more valuable than buying one without.
Is Benidorm safe to live in year-round?
Yes. Benidorm has the highest police-officer-per-capita ratio of any town in Valencia region (driven by tourist density), full year-round medical and supermarket infrastructure, and a permanent population of 70,000 including a large international retiree community. Crime rates are in line with the Spanish national average.
Benidorm vs Torrevieja for buy-to-let?
Benidorm wins on yield and season length — 7–10% gross yields with 12-month occupancy versus Torrevieja's 5–7% with strong summer / softer winter. Torrevieja wins on entry price (€75k vs €95k) and stock availability. For maximum cash yield: Benidorm with a licensed apartment. For lower-cost entry and long-term capital growth: Torrevieja.
