Frequently asked questions
Which Costa Blanca area has the best rental yield in 2026?+
Inland and golf-focused areas such as Algorfa and the Vega Baja typically deliver the strongest gross yields (often 6-8%) thanks to lower entry prices and steady holiday-let demand, while prime coastal towns trade higher capital growth for slightly lower yields. The table below ranks areas by yield.
Do I need a licence to rent out my property short-term?+
Yes — short-term holiday lets on the Costa Blanca require a tourist rental licence (licencia turística) registered with the Valencian or Murcian authorities. Long-term rentals do not need one. See our tourist rental licence guide for the process.
