What Seville's occupancy and ADR actually mean
Over the 2025-06 to 2026-05 analysis period, Seville averaged 68% occupancy, about five points above the Spanish national average of roughly 63%, ranking it around 10th of the 28 Spanish cities tracked. Its 136 EUR ADR sits well above the national average near 122 EUR (6th highest), and average monthly revenue of 2,691 EUR is among the stronger figures in the dataset, reflecting 243 booked nights a year.
The headline caution is a -8% year-on-year change in revenue, one of the few negative readings, likely tied to tightening regulation and rising supply in the centre. A seasonality index of 99% confirms a sharply concentrated demand curve: with April and May carrying the year and July-August soft, getting festival-week pricing right is decisive for matching or beating these averages.

Why people book Airbnbs in Seville
Seville's Airbnb demand is anchored by year-round cultural tourism rather than beach seasonality. Visitors come for three UNESCO World Heritage Sites clustered in the old town: the Cathedral with its Giralda tower, the Real Alcazar, and the Archivo General de Indias. The flamenco heritage of Triana, tapas culture, and the Plaza de Espana draw both short-break European travellers and longer leisure stays.
The market is unusual for Spain in that its peak is spring, not summer. The city's two flagship festivals, Semana Santa and the Feria de Abril, generate enormous spikes in demand, while the brutal July-August heat suppresses it. With 270 active listings tracked in this dataset and the historic centre highly concentrated, managers compete on quality and location more than on raw supply, and the spring calendar dictates most of the annual revenue.
When Airbnb demand peaks in Seville
April and May are the strongest months for Seville rentals, driven directly by the two events that define the city's calendar. Semana Santa (Holy Week) runs 29 March to 5 April in 2026, with the most intense processions on Maundy Thursday and the Madruga of Good Friday. The Feria de Abril follows two weeks later, 21 to 26 April 2026, in the Los Remedios fairground; during both events rates can triple and the centre books out months ahead.
The low season is the opposite of most of Spain: July and August are the weakest months, when daytime temperatures regularly exceed 40C and tourists avoid the city. Autumn and the mild winter (around 15C in daytime) recover well, making October to December and the run-up to spring solid secondary windows. Plan pricing around the spring festivals first, then the shoulder months.
Best neighbourhoods for short-term rentals in Seville
The Casco Antiguo (old town) on the east bank of the Guadalquivir is the prime short-term-rental zone, containing Barrio Santa Cruz next to the Cathedral and Alcazar, and El Arenal toward the bullring and nightlife. These central barrios command the highest rates and occupancy but face the tightest supply and the most regulatory scrutiny.
Across the river, Triana offers authentic flamenco and ceramic heritage with strong guest appeal and slightly more availability, while Los Remedios is more modern and residential, with wide streets and the Feria fairground on its doorstep, a major advantage during April. Nervion, east of the centre, is quieter and business-oriented around the train station and stadium, suiting longer or value stays rather than peak-festival tourism.
Short-term rental rules in Seville
Short-term rentals in Seville fall under Andalusia's Vivienda con Fines Turisticos (VFT) regime (Decreto 28/2016, amended by Decreto 31/2024), which sets habitability, ventilation and comfort standards and requires registration with the Andalusian Tourism Registry via a declaracion responsable. Since 4 March 2025 owners must first obtain a change-of-use authorisation from the Seville town hall before that filing, and from 3 April 2025 properties in a community of owners need a 3/5 majority approval from the owners' association.
Since 1 July 2025 every Spanish short-term let must also hold the national registration number (NRA / VUD ID) to advertise on platforms. Seville is additionally planning tourist zones to cap rentals in the saturated historic centre, though dates are not yet fixed. Operating unregistered is classed as clandestine activity, with fines ranging from 2,001 EUR to 18,000 EUR.

Frequently asked questions about Airbnb occupancy in Seville
Seville averaged about 68% occupancy over the June 2025 to May 2026 period, roughly five points above the Spanish national average near 63%. That works out to around 243 booked nights a year. Occupancy is heavily front-loaded into spring, so the annual figure hides very strong festival months and weaker summer ones.
Spring is the peak: April and May are the strongest months, driven by Semana Santa (29 March to 5 April 2026) and the Feria de Abril (21 to 26 April 2026), when rates can triple. October to December and the mild winter are solid secondary windows. July and August are weakest because daytime heat regularly tops 40C.
Yes. You must register the property as a Vivienda con Fines Turisticos (VFT) with the Andalusian Tourism Registry, first obtaining a change-of-use authorisation from the Seville town hall (since March 2025) and, in a community of owners, a 3/5 majority approval. Every Spanish let also needs the national registration number (NRA) since July 2025; fines for operating unregistered run from 2,001 to 18,000 EUR.
The Casco Antiguo old town, including Barrio Santa Cruz and El Arenal, delivers the highest rates and occupancy but the tightest supply and most regulation. Triana offers authentic flamenco appeal with more availability, Los Remedios is modern and ideal during the April Feria, and Nervion suits quieter, longer or value stays near the station and stadium.
