The Playa del Inglés real estate market continues to climb the ranks on the residential map of southern Gran Canaria. In February 2026, the average price of housing reached €5.512 per square meter, a record high for this tourist area in the municipality of San Bartolomé de Tirajana. This figure represents a stabilization compared to January—when the price per square meter stood at €5.510—but consolidates an upward trend that has accelerated over the past year.
The market has been on a path of sustained growth for months. In annual terms, the price of housing in Playa del Inglés has risen by 11,8% compared to February 2025, when the price per square meter was around €4.930.
In just twelve months, the tourist enclave has seen its price increase by nearly €600 per square meter, a trend that reflects the investment pressure in one of the most established tourist destinations on the European Atlantic coast. This trend began to accelerate during the spring of last year. By March 2025, the price per square meter had already reached €5.000, and since then, it has risen almost continuously. During the summer, key months for the holiday market, the price fluctuated between €5.090 and €5.146 per square meter. The pace intensified in the autumn: October closed at €5.302, and November exceeded €5.450. The peak of this cycle was reached precisely at the beginning of 2026.
Following January's rebound, with a monthly increase of 2,4%, the market stabilized in February at around €5.512 per square meter, consolidating the highest level recorded so far in the area. This trend is directly related to the tourism context in the south of the island. Playa del Inglés remains one of the main attractions for international tourism in the Canary Islands, boasting a long history of accommodation and a growing conversion of apartments into residential or holiday investment models. Meanwhile, foreign demand—especially from Northern Europe—continues to view the area as a real estate asset linked to both leisure and tourism profitability.
The result is an increasingly tight market. The combination of a well-established tourist destination, the ongoing renovation of resorts, and investment pressure is pushing prices to unprecedented levels in this enclave in southern Gran Canaria. With the price per square meter now exceeding €5.500, Playa del Inglés is entering a new phase of its urban development: that of a tourist destination that, in addition to receiving millions of visitors annually, is also consolidating its position as one of the most dynamic real estate markets in the archipelago.
