An analysis by cozycozy.com reveals that the average price per night in Seville reaches €155, 28.3% more than in 2025, the largest increase among 30 Spanish destinations.

Booking a night in a hotel or tourist apartment in Seville will cost 28.3% more this summer than last year, according to a study by the platform cozycozy.com based on 140,035 price observations. The Andalusian capital leads the increases across Spain, ahead of Santa Cruz de Tenerife (+21.8%) and Cádiz (+16.9%).

The average price per night in Seville rises to €155, still below the national average of €185, which has also increased by 9.4% compared to 2025. The analysis, which covers 30 tourist destinations, concludes that only three areas register declines: Costa Dorada (-11.2%), Costa Brava (-7.7%) and Comunidad Valenciana (-7%).

Romain Claudel, co-founder of cozycozy.com, points out that "the problem is not just that holidays cost more, but that the differences can be enormous depending on the dates, platforms, and types of accommodation." In his opinion, "comparing becomes a key gesture to regain control of the budget without giving up on travelling."

The study ranks Ciudadela de Menorca as the most expensive destination this summer, at €270 per night, followed by Mallorca (€239). At the opposite end, Fuerteventura and Gran Canaria offer the lowest rates, €141 per night, although both islands also see increases of 11.1% and 9%, respectively.

For travellers in Seville planning to stay in the province, the local increase may incentivise them to seek alternatives on less in-demand dates or explore accommodation options in municipalities of Aljarafe or the Los Alcores region, where prices could be more reasonable. However, the report does not break down data by localities within the province.

The widespread increase in tourist accommodation prices in Spain particularly affects coastal destinations, but Seville breaks the trend as an urban and inland destination. The Andalusian city, which attracts millions of visitors each year due to its monumental heritage and cultural offerings, thus sees an increased tourist pressure on the traveler's wallet.

The analysis by cozycozy.com includes data from 140,035 price observations on booking platforms, both hotel and tourist accommodation. The sample ranges from large cities to islands, coastal towns, and entire regions, comparing average prices for July and August 2026 with those of the same period in 2025.

The 28.3% increase in Seville is the most pronounced in the entire study, reflecting strong demand in the Andalusian capital. Despite this, the average price of €155 per night remains lower than other Spanish tourist destinations such as Conil de la Frontera (over €200), Calpe or Roquetas de Mar.

The general upward trend, with 27 out of 30 destinations in the positive, points to a record summer in tourist occupancy, but also to a greater economic effort for families. In this context, experts recommend planning in advance and comparing prices across different platforms and types of accommodation to find the best value for money.

For tourists visiting Seville, the increase may translate into an additional expense of about €34 per night compared to last year, which over a week's stay amounts to nearly €240 more. This situation could favour accommodations in the outskirts or nearby towns such as Dos Hermanas, Alcalá de Guadaíra or Mairena del Aljarafe, well-connected by public transport and with potentially lower prices.
