Long lets vs winter lets
Owners in Punta Prima can earn a lot in summer, so many offer October–May winter lets rather than 12-month contracts. Year-round lets are easier to find in complexes set back from the seafront, and on the Torrevieja side in Los Altos.
What rents look like
Across Orihuela municipality (which is dominated by coastal listings) median asking rents in August 2026 ran from about €650 for a one-bed to about €990 for a two-bed and €1,200 for a three-bed, on BestYieldFinder data. Frontline sea-view flats sit above that; inland complexes below.
What to check before you sign
- Is it a residential (LAU) contract or a seasonal one?
- Who pays community fees, IBI and utilities?
- Is the pool open year-round and heated?
- Is the complex mostly holiday lets (noise, turnover)?
- Heating: many coastal flats have only air-conditioning heat pumps.
