Over the June 2025 to May 2026 window, Inca ran 61% average occupancy across roughly 219 booked nights a year, two points below the 63% Spanish national average and middling among the 28 Spanish cities ListingOK tracks. On occupancy alone Inca looks unremarkable, but the rest of the numbers tell a different story: an average daily rate of 387 euros, more than triple the national average of around 122 euros, drives average monthly revenue of 5,800 euros per listing, among the very highest in the Spanish set.
That combination, ordinary occupancy with an exceptional ADR, signals a market built on large villas and fincas rather than town flats, where each booking carries a premium. The 24% year-on-year revenue gain is strong and runs against the softness seen in regulated city markets, while the 162% seasonality index confirms the income is heavily front-loaded into summer. Read together, the figures describe a high-value, high-volatility inland villa market where rate, not volume, does the work.

These figures reflect real-time demand in Inca, helping you plan and price strategically.
Inca is the commercial capital of Mallorca's interior, the largest town in the Raiguer region and the historic hub of the island's leather and footwear trade, but for short-term rentals it functions mainly as an inland base for Serra de Tramuntana tourism. It sits at the foot of the mountain range, on the Palma-to-Sa Pobla rail line, roughly thirty minutes by train from the capital, which makes it a practical staging point for travellers who want a quieter, more authentic Mallorcan town rather than a beach resort. The Thursday market, the Dijous Bo autumn fair, the celler restaurants and the leather-factory outlets all pull day visitors and overnight guests.
Demand here is overwhelmingly leisure and predominantly summer, drawn by the wider Mallorca brand: hikers and cyclists heading into the Tramuntana, road-trippers using Inca as a central, well-connected hub from which the whole island is reachable, and visitors to nearby hill villages such as Lloseta, Selva and Mancor de la Vall and the Lluc monastery. The very high average daily rate in this market points to a stock skewed toward larger villas and fincas with pools rather than town apartments.
Inca's demand is sharply seasonal, which the data confirms with a seasonality index of 162%, one of the most concentrated patterns of the Spanish cities tracked. The strongest months are July and August, peaking near 90% occupancy in the latest summer, when Mediterranean beach-and-mountain tourism is at its height and the inland villa stock fills almost completely. The weakest months are January and November, with occupancy collapsing into the 30s and even the high 20s in the previous December, the only genuinely dead stretch of the year.
The shoulder seasons are where the nuance lies: April through June and September hold up well, often in the 70s and 80s, because the Tramuntana hiking and cycling calendar extends the season at both ends and spring weather suits the interior better than the coast. February rebounds noticeably above the deep-winter trough. For operators that means aggressive summer pricing, a real shoulder-season opportunity in spring and early autumn, and an acceptance that mid-winter will run largely empty unless priced for long stays.
Inca itself is compact, so the relevant geography is the wider Raiguer corridor and the Tramuntana foothills rather than distinct city quarters. The historic town centre, around the Plaça d'Espanya, Santa Maria la Major church and the network of celler restaurants, suits apartment lets aimed at travellers who want walkable amenities, the Thursday market and the train station on the doorstep. These central units trade on convenience and the rail link to Palma.
The higher-value stock sits on the rural edges and in the neighbouring villages. Detached fincas and villas with pools in the countryside around Inca and toward Selva, Lloseta, Mancor de la Vall and Caimari command the premium rates that lift this market's average, selling space, privacy and quick access to the Lluc monastery and Tramuntana trailheads. Buyers should note that for these standalone homes the ETV villa licence is the key asset, while town apartments fall under the stricter, largely frozen multi-family regime.
Inca falls under the Balearic Islands' tourist-rental regime, among the strictest in Spain. A legal short-term tourist let requires an ETV (Estada Turística de Vivenda) licence registered with the Consell de Mallorca, and the islands have operated a moratorium on new licences since 2022, extended indefinitely in 2024. In practice no new tourist-rental licence is being issued for most property types, so the only reliable route is to buy a property that already holds a valid, transferable ETV expressly assigned in the deed of sale.
The regime distinguishes property types: standalone single-family homes (villas and fincas) carry an indefinite ETV, while apartments in multi-family buildings need an ETVPL, valid five years and requiring community-of-owners approval, and these are the hardest to obtain under the freeze. Operating without a licence exposes owners to substantial regional fines. Because rules and licence availability shift with Consell and municipal decisions, anyone entering the Inca market should verify the current status of any specific property's licence with the Consell de Mallorca before committing.

Inca averaged about 61% occupancy over the June 2025 to May 2026 period, roughly 219 booked nights a year. That is two points below the 63% Spanish national average, but the headline figure understates the market: an exceptional 387 euro average daily rate pushes average monthly revenue to about 5,800 euros per listing, among the highest of the 28 Spanish cities ListingOK tracks.
July and August are by far the strongest months, with occupancy near 90% at the summer peak; January and November are the weakest, dropping into the 30s. The seasonality index of 162% is one of the most concentrated in Spain, so spring and early autumn shoulders (April to June and September) hold up well, but mid-winter runs largely empty unless you price for long stays.
Yes. Inca sits under the Balearic regime, which requires an ETV licence from the Consell de Mallorca, and the islands have frozen new licences since 2022 with the moratorium extended indefinitely. In practice you must buy a property that already holds a valid, transferable ETV. Villas and fincas hold an indefinite licence; multi-family apartments need an ETVPL and are hardest to obtain. Verify any property's licence with the Consell before buying.
The historic centre around Plaça d'Espanya suits apartment lets that trade on walkability and the train link to Palma. The premium stock, however, is rural: detached fincas and villas with pools around Inca and toward Selva, Lloseta, Mancor de la Vall and Caimari command the high rates that lift this market, selling space, privacy and access to the Lluc monastery and Tramuntana trails. A valid ETV matters more than the exact location.
