How to Earn Big from Your Spanish Property Even in Winter: The Strategy Successful Investors Use 11 Nov 2025

Many foreign buyers believe that rental income in Spain only works in the summer season. However, the most successful property owners in Torrevieja, Guardamar del Segura and the Costa Blanca South continue to generate strong passive income throughout the winter months as well.

The reason is simple. Winter on the Costa Blanca is not really “winter” in the traditional sense. Instead, it has become a highly attractive period for international visitors, long-stay guests and remote workers seeking mild temperatures, sunshine and an affordable lifestyle during the colder months in the rest of Europe.

This makes winter a profitable opportunity for property owners who know how to position their home correctly. With the right strategy, a holiday apartment can generate between €18,000 and €28,000 per year, and in some cases even more.

Why Winter on the Costa Blanca Still Brings Tourism and Stable Rental Income

While much of Europe experiences cold weather, rain and dark days, the Costa Blanca remains pleasantly mild. Average temperatures stay around 18–21°C, there are over 300 days of sunshine per year, and outdoor life continues as usual. Cafés are full, promenade walks are popular and local events, markets and fiestas take place all season.

From November to March, the type of visitor changes, but demand remains strong. Instead of short-term summer tourists, the region attracts:

• Long-stay winter visitors, especially from Northern Europe

• Remote workers and digital nomads looking for a sunny base

• Couples and retirees seeking warmth and affordable living

• Wellness, medical and rehabilitation tourism

These guests stay longer, treat the property well and book in advance, making winter a period of stable and predictable rental income with fewer changeovers.

How Much Can an Owner Earn in Winter?

For a two-bedroom apartment near the beach in Torrevieja or Guardamar, approximate rental income looks like this:

This allows many owners to achieve annual returns of €18,000 to €28,000, while still keeping some weeks for their personal use.

The Strategy That Maximises Winter Rental Profit

Winter income is not accidental. Top-performing owners use a specific strategy that makes their property attractive beyond the summer season:

1. Location matters
   Choose a property within a short walk to the beach, with supermarkets, cafés and amenities nearby. South or east-facing homes with outdoor space are more attractive in winter.

2. Target winter long-stayers and remote workers
   Properties with fast internet, a dedicated working area, heating for cooler evenings and a comfortable interior are more appealing for long-term bookings.

3. Offer 28-day stays or monthly rentals
   This attracts stable guests and reduces costs associated with frequent check-ins and cleaning.

4. Advertise on several platforms
   Use Airbnb, Booking, Idealista and local expat groups to reach different types of guests.

5. Use high-quality professional photos
   Good imagery significantly increases bookings, as guests want to see a bright, sunny Mediterranean lifestyle.

The Key Search Trends That Drive Winter Bookings

Online searches are currently rising for phrases such as:

• “winter rentals Costa Blanca”

• “move to Spain for winter sun”

• “long-term rental in Torrevieja”

• “apartments in Guardamar near the beach”

Owners who adapt their property to match these needs successfully secure bookings even in the winter months.

Why Not Everyone Takes Advantage of This Opportunity

Many buyers still assume that only the summer period is profitable. As a result, they miss the potential of winter long-term stays, which often bring higher-quality tenants and consistent monthly income.

Those who understand this strategy choose properties that attract guests all year — especially two-bedroom apartments from around €125,000 in areas with strong winter demand, such as Torrevieja and Guardamar del Segura.
