Which neighborhoods in Spain have the highest supply of rental properties with swimming pools?

In the rental market, Puerto Banús, in Marbella, is the neighborhood with the highest percentage of listings with a swimming pool: 71.5% of the rental offer published on Fotocasa includes this amenity.

After Puerto Banús, the most prominent neighborhoods are Trafalgar, Goya, Embajadores-Lavapiés, Lista, Universidad-Malasaña, Almagro, Palacio, Cortes-Huertas, and Recoletos, all within the city of Madrid. In these cases, the importance of the swimming pool may be influenced by specific housing types, residential developments, buildings with amenities, or higher-end developments within each neighborhood.

In the rental market, Madrid is gaining prominence with several central neighborhoods where a swimming pool appears in more than half of the analyzed listings.

Swimming pools are gaining popularity in sales on the coast and in rentals in prime areas

Fotocasa’s data shows a clear difference between buying and renting. In the sales market, areas with the most swimming pools are concentrated primarily in coastal neighborhoods, residential developments, tourist markets, and high-value residential areas. In some neighborhoods of Marbella, Adeje, Estepona, and Almuñécar, this amenity appears in more than eight out of ten advertised properties.

In the rental market, the presence of a swimming pool seems to follow a different logic: it doesn’t depend so much on second homes or coastal properties, but rather on a more concentrated supply in buildings with amenities, higher-end developments, and homes located in highly sought-after areas. This is why central Madrid neighborhoods are emerging, where a swimming pool can act as a differentiating factor within a more limited and selective rental market.

And you, if you could choose, where would you most enjoy a house with a pool: by the sea, in a quiet residential area, or in a central neighborhood with all the amenities? Let us know in the comments.
