How much does an apartment earn on short-term rental in Tangier in 2026?
A properly equipped two-bedroom in Malabata produces between 12,000 and 18,000 MAD gross per month as an annual average — 68% occupancy at 740 MAD a night. The net figure then depends on three things: management commission, running costs, and how well the price is set.
The basic calculation
Gross revenue comes down to three variables: average nightly rate, occupancy, and nights available. Across a full year in Tangier, a well-kept apartment runs between 62% and 76% occupancy depending on neighbourhood and standard. Multiplied by 30.4 nights a month, that gives a reliable projection base.
How much the neighbourhood changes
Location moves the nightly rate by nearly 40%. Cap Spartel and the Kasbah pull prices up — the first through the villa segment, the second through the scarcity of well-restored riads. The city centre shows the lowest rates but compensates with steady off-season occupancy driven by short stays and business travel.
What you deduct
From gross, remove platform commission, management commission if you delegate, cleaning when it is not charged to the guest, consumables, building service charges, water, electricity, internet and insurance. For an apartment, expect between 1,200 and 2,500 MAD of fixed monthly costs.
The most expensive mistake
It is not the management commission, it is the fixed price. An owner charging the same rate in February and August leaves 15 to 25% of annual revenue on the table: too expensive in low season, so empty, and too cheap in August, so full but underpaid. Daily pricing is the only lever that moves occupancy and average rate at once.
