Guaranteed Rental vs Holiday Rental in the Marina Alta: Which One Suits You in 2025?

If you own a property in the Marina Alta and are weighing how to monetise it, you’re probably asking yourself: am I better off with classic holiday rental, or with guaranteed rental at a fixed monthly rate? The answer depends on your profile, your risk tolerance and how much time you want to dedicate.

Who should choose guaranteed rental?

Guaranteed rental is ideal if you:

• Don’t want to spend time managing the property
• Need predictable income to cover a mortgage
• Live far from the property and can’t oversee operations
• Already have another job or business that needs all your attention
• Prefer the peace of mind of always getting paid over the maximum potential
