Benidorm achieves 7–8% gross rental yields, the highest on the northern Costa Blanca, thanks to year-round tourism from British, Scandinavian, and Spanish markets.

Benidorm is unambiguously the best yield play on the Costa Blanca and one of the strongest short-stay rental markets in all of Spain. The combination of year-round tourism (not just summer), Levante and Poniente beaches, English-speaking infrastructure, and low property entry prices creates genuine rental income potential. Investors targeting 6–9% yields look at Benidorm seriously. It requires a different mindset to lifestyle-purchase buyers in Javea or Moraira, but the numbers are real and the demand is consistent.

The two beaches on either side of the old town have distinct characters. Levante (east) is the larger and more lively beach — 1.8km of fine golden sand, packed in summer, lined with hotels and restaurants, and the focal point of Benidorm's beach tourism. Poniente (west) is slightly quieter, 2.6km long, and considered the more family-oriented beach. Both are Blue Flag. For property buyers, Levante-adjacent apartments command slightly higher prices due to the view and energy of the area, while Poniente suits those wanting beach access with a quieter feel.

Benidorm has a large stock of apartment units, much of it built during the 1960s–1990s boom. The volume of supply, combined with the predominance of older high-rise apartment blocks rather than villas, keeps prices relatively modest. A studio or 1-bedroom apartment in Benidorm from €60,000–€120,000 is genuinely possible; 2-bedroom apartments from €100,000–€180,000. Modern apartments with sea views and good facilities command more. The lower entry point is precisely what makes Benidorm's rental yields attractive.
