🏡 Tourist apartments, the driving force behind growth
Within this type of accommodation, tourist apartments have been one of the most popular formats.
In December 2025, overnight stays in apartments grew by 9,4%driven in particular by international tourism, with medium-long stays of around 5 nights per traveller..
This shows that today's travellers are looking for:
- Flexibility
- Comfort

- More authentic experiences
💰 What does this mean for owners?
These figures are not just statistics: they represent a real opportunity for those who own property in tourist areas such as Nerja. In destinations like Nerja, management of tourist apartments is key to standing out.
A well-managed holiday rental allows you to:
✅ Maximise annual profitability
A market with more overnight stays means more demand and better occupancy rates, especially in the mid and low seasons.
✅ Better financial planning
With a professional model, owners do not have to improvise: they can rely on reports, forecasts and control over the property's performance.
✅ Adaptation to growing international tourism
Foreign visitors are the ones who spend the most nights in this type of accommodation, which increases the value of the flat as an investment.
📊 Professional management: the real differentiating factor
The key is not just to have a tourist flat, but to manage it properly..
Specialised management provides:
- Price optimisation according to actual demand
- Greater visibility on international portals
- Better ratings thanks to consistent service

In a growing sector, the difference between a profitable apartment and one that is not usually lies in the management. Good management of tourist apartments allows you to maximise occupancy.
