There is no single figure that fits every home. As an official reference, in June 2026 holiday homes in Gran Canaria marketed on online platforms had an average daily rate of €116.22 and a booked-property rate of 85.71%, according to Promotur using ISTAC data (ISTAC is the Canary Islands statistics institute). That is a snapshot of one month. What yours earns depends on how many nights you sell, at what price, and how much goes on commissions and costs.
In short
- The official data are monthly snapshots of homes advertised on platforms, not annual averages.
- The "booked-property rate" is not the same as the percentage of nights your home will be occupied.
- In June, San Bartolomé de Tirajana and Mogán had average rates above the island average.
- From what the guest pays you have to deduct the platform, cleaning, management, the property's running costs and tax.
- The area, type of property, views, pool and reviews make a big difference to the result.
What the official data say
Promotur Turismo de Canarias publishes monthly indicators for holiday homes marketed on platforms, compiled from ISTAC's Tourist Accommodation Surveys and the Canary Islands Registro General Turístico (the regional tourism register). These are the June figures for the last two years:
| Area and month | Homes | Bed places | Booked-property rate | Average daily rate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Gran Canaria, June 2025 | 9,519 | 38,757 | 85.85% | €137.57 |
| Gran Canaria, June 2026 | 7,665 | 30,189 | 85.71% | €116.22 |
| Canary Islands, June 2025 | 45,450 | 189,609 | 89.63% | €142.43 |
| Canary Islands, June 2026 | 36,497 | 148,882 | 90.25% | €128.35 |
In one year, the number of holiday homes in Gran Canaria marketed on platforms fell from 9,519 to 7,665 (19.5% fewer) and the average June rate went from €137.57 to €116.22. The booked-property rate stayed practically the same.
What the "booked-property rate" means
It's the indicator the report uses to measure demand: it is calculated each month on the holiday homes marketed on platforms. It is not occupancy by bed places, nor the percentage of nights a particular home was occupied. A rate of 85.71% does not mean your home will be occupied 86 nights out of every 100 in the year. If you want to compare with your own history, use the nights you actually sold.
San Bartolomé de Tirajana and Mogán
These two southern municipalities account for a large share of the island's supply. In June 2025, San Bartolomé de Tirajana had 37% of Gran Canaria's holiday home bed places and Mogán 16%.
| Municipality | Share of Gran Canaria bed places, June 2025 | Average rate, June 2025 | Average rate, June 2026 |
|---|---|---|---|
| San Bartolomé de Tirajana | 37% | €175 | €138 |
| Mogán | 16% | €134 | €120 |
San Bartolomé de Tirajana includes areas such as Maspalomas, Playa del Inglés, Meloneras and San Agustín. Mogán includes Puerto Rico and Arguineguín. The capital attracts a different kind of guest; we cover it in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria.
In our experience, demand in the south of Gran Canaria varies a great deal from one month to the next, with the European winter as the high season. That's why a June figure is useful for comparing June with June, but not for multiplying by twelve.
From the average rate to what you keep: an illustrative example
Imagine a month with 20 nights sold at €116 (close to Gran Canaria's average rate in June 2026), spread over 4 bookings, each with €80 cleaning paid by the guest. We apply a 16.3% platform commission and our 20% management fee on the base, as in the example on our fees page. The 20 nights are an assumption, not official data or a forecast.
| Item (illustrative example) | Amount |
|---|---|
| 20 nights × €116 | €2,320.00 |
| Cleaning (4 × €80, paid by the guest) | €320.00 |
| Total paid by guests | €2,640.00 |
| Platform commission (16.3%) | −€430.32 |
| Cleaning | −€320.00 |
| Management base | €1,889.68 |
| Canarias Prime Homes management (20% of the base) | −€377.94 |
| To the owner, before the property's running costs and tax | €1,511.74 |
That amount still has to cover the fixed costs: service charges, IBI (local property tax), utilities, internet, insurance, replacements and maintenance. We go through them in how to calculate your real return. Each platform's actual commission depends on your terms, and tax depends on your personal situation.

Why every home gets a different result
Two flats in the same complex in Playa del Inglés can end the year with very different figures. Among other things, it depends on:
- The area and the street: how close it is to the beach, the promenade, nightlife or quiet areas.
- The type of property: a studio, a bungalow with a terrace and a villa with a private pool compete in different markets.
- Views, pool and amenities: sea views, air conditioning, good wifi for remote working, a fully equipped kitchen.
- Reviews: a high score makes it easier to hold your price.
- The season and the pricing strategy: how the price of each night and the minimum stay are adjusted. We explain it in dynamic pricing.
- Your own use: every week you block for yourself is nights that aren't sold.
As a reference for quality, not income: as of September 2026, the weighted average score of 33 listings we manage on Booking.com is 8.5/10, from more than 670 reviews. That score depends mainly on cleaning, the arrival and how issues are handled, which is where we focus.
How to find out the figure for your home
If you already let it, your best data is your own history over a full year: nights sold, average price per night and costs. If you're starting out, the free revenue study estimates its potential using data for its area and type of property. You can also try out scenarios with the income calculator or follow the official data in our observatory. To see how we work on the island, visit management in Gran Canaria.
