Sitges offers more than one route to a return: strong summer holiday demand and a steady year-round rental market. Here is how rental yields work by property type and strategy, and what drives them.
Gross vs net — and what to count
Gross yield is the annual rent divided by the purchase price; net yield deducts the running costs — IBI, community fees, insurance, maintenance, management and void periods, plus tax.
In Sitges, where prices are high, gross yields are moderate, so the strategy and the costs matter as much as the headline rent.
By property type
Central apartments and Aiguadolç marina units let well to holidaymakers and can earn strong peak-season income; family villas in Vinyet and Vallpineda suit long-term tenants and steadier income; new-build commands premium rents with lower maintenance.
Holiday lets can gross more than long lets in peak season but carry higher costs, seasonality and licensing constraints; long lets trade upside for stability.
What drives the yield
Location, the licence (a tourist licence materially changes a property’s letting potential), condition and energy efficiency, and how actively it is managed. We model indicative gross yields and total costs before you buy.
| Strategy | Income profile | Ideal para |
|---|---|---|
| Holiday let (HUTB) | High in season, seasonal, higher costs | Central apartments, marina units |
| arrendamento de longo prazo | Steadier, year-round | Family villas, new-build |
| Seasonal let | Between the two | Where no tourist licence is available |

Perguntas frequentes
What rental yield can I expect in Sitges?
Gross yields in Sitges are moderate because prices are high; the strategy decides the return. Holiday lets can gross more in peak season but cost more to run, while long lets are steadier. We model indicative gross and net yields for any specific property.
Are holiday lets or long lets better in Sitges?
It depends on your goals. Holiday lets (with a tourist licence) can earn strong seasonal income but carry seasonality, higher costs and licensing limits; long lets give steadier year-round income with less management and no licence.
What costs reduce my net yield?
IBI, community fees, insurance, maintenance, management, void periods and tax on the rental income. In a high-price market like Sitges these matter as much as the headline rent.
Does a tourist licence affect the yield?
Significantly. A tourist licence (HUTB) unlocks holiday letting and its higher peak-season rates. Licences are limited and regulated, so a property with one — or the realistic prospect of one — has materially different letting potential.
