The Spanish non-hotel sector has once again demonstrated its robustness and capacity to adapt, closing the month of May with figures that reaffirm its growth. Driving this dynamism, the tourist flats<\/strong> and the rural tourism<\/strong> have positioned themselves as the major leaders, consolidating the Flexible Accommodation<\/strong> as a fundamental pillar of the country's tourism strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

May 2025 recorded an impressive increase of 10,6% in number of overnight stays<\/strong> in non-hotel accommodation compared to the same month of the previous year. This growth is even more significant, as it exceeds by 17.5% May 2019 pre-pandemic levels<\/strong>demonstrating sustained recovery and expansion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Breaking down performance, the tourist flats<\/strong> shone with an increase of 13.2% in overnight stays<\/strong> year-on-year, and a remarkable 23.1% above 2019 data<\/strong>. This boom is due, in part, to demand from travellers resident in Spain, who accounted for nearly 40% of total overnight stays<\/strong> in this segment, although non-residents still account for the majority, with 60,4%<\/strong>. In May, overnight stays of foreign tourists in flats grew by 10.61 Ptt3T YoY.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The rural tourism<\/strong> also experienced a significant rebound, with an increase of 10.3% in overnight stays<\/strong> compared to May 2024. This segment attracts mainly resident travellers, who accounted for the largest share of the total. 76,1% of total<\/strong>The project is a national interest in disconnection and nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other types of Flexible Accommodation<\/strong> also showed a good performance: the campsites<\/strong> saw their overnight stays grow by 7,8%<\/strong> in May 2025, with a strong boost from foreign travellers who accounted for almost 60% of the total. The hostels<\/strong>The growth of the 5%<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The regions that have benefited the most from this dynamism in the Flexible Accommodation<\/strong> were Canary Islands<\/strong> in tourist flats, concentrating the 27.7% of overnight stays<\/strong> and an occupancy of 86,9% of seats<\/strong> offered. In rural tourism, Castilla y Le\u00f3n<\/strong> was the preferred destination, with a remarkable 18.1% of overnight stays<\/strong> and an annual growth of 30.7%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These data not only reflect the vitality of the non-hotel sector, but also the growing trend towards deseasonalisation of tourism<\/strong>. Demand is spread out beyond the peak season months, and the Flexible Accommodation<\/strong> plays a crucial role in this diversification, offering options for different traveller profiles and contributing to the territorial distribution of tourism profits. The capacity to adapt and the diversity of the extra-hotel offer are, without a doubt, strategic pillars for the future of tourism in Spain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
