The coast of Cádiz is positioning itself as one of Spain's most sought-after destinations for the summer season, combining its sun and beach offerings with a rich cultural, gastronomic, and music festival program. Amidst rising hotel rates, renting apartments and villas with pools has become a popular alternative for groups and families, also allowing for cost reduction thanks to private kitchen facilities.
This trend has strained the local real estate market, making housing access difficult for residents. Many property owners prioritize summer vacation rentals or temporary contracts, reducing the long-term residential supply and driving up conventional purchase and rental prices.
According to a report by appraisal firm Tecnitasa, Cádiz ranks as the second most expensive area in Andalusia for summer rentals, surpassed only by Málaga. The province shows a weekly rental increase of over 8%, with an average of 1,400 euros for six nights, though costs vary significantly by municipality, size, and the presence of a pool.
The highest prices are found in San Roque, specifically in Marina de Sotogrande, where a 130-square-meter apartment can cost up to 2,500 euros per week. In El Puerto, in developments like Puerto Sherry and Vistahermosa, an 80-square-meter apartment averages 2,100 euros, while in Valdelagrana, prices drop to 1,550 euros.
In the provincial capital, studios in the historic center cost around 600 euros weekly, but near the beach or promenade, prices rise to 1,440 euros. Chiclana, near La Barrosa and Sancti Petri beaches, offers 60-square-meter apartments for 1,400 euros. In Conil, a 65-square-meter apartment on the promenade is 1,500 euros, and in El Palmar (Vejer), a house with a pool reaches 1,680 euros.
Other municipalities like Tarifa report prices of 1,650 euros for a 70-square-meter apartment, and in La Línea (Campo de Gibraltar), in La Alcaidesa, the cost is 1,400 euros. On the Costa Noroeste, enclaves such as Costa Ballena (Rota) exceed 2,000 euros weekly, with 90-square-meter apartments at 1,700 euros. In Chipiona, prices range between 960 and 1,440 euros.
San Fernando stands out as the most affordable option, with 85-square-meter apartments at 690 euros and larger options up to 120 square meters for 1,020 euros.
Regionally, the average weekly rental in Andalusia is 1,494 euros. Málaga leads in prices, followed by Cádiz. Other provinces like Granada, Almería, and Huelva also see increases, though the Huelva coast remains the most economical, below 1,000 euros weekly, except for Islantilla.
The vacation rental market in Spain is highly dynamic, with a redistribution of price pressures across different coastal areas.
Grupo Tecnitasa president, José María Basañez, highlights the diverse offerings and the shifting geographical distribution of price increases, reflecting a constantly evolving market.
