Overview

What is Airbnb revenue forecast in Biarritz?

An Airbnb revenue forecast is a month-by-month projection of occupancy, ADR and revenue for one property, set beside comparable listings. Buyers use it to test a purchase, operators use it to check an arbitrage lease, and hosts use it to set targets for a live listing.

What I plan around in Biarritz: surfing on the Cote des Basques and Grande Plage; Fetes de Bayonne; Belle Epoque Biarritz; Saint-Jean-de-Luz and the Basque coast. Guests I price for: surfers and French and Spanish families on 5 to 7 night stays in central Biarritz, Anglet and Saint-Jean-de-Luz. Where I start: peak-summer and Fetes de Bayonne premiums, the Biarritz change-of-use compensation rules that restrict new holiday lets, and a September surf shoulder.

For Basque coast hosts I set up PriceLabs or Wheelhouse with weekly summer bands, festival uplifts, a September surf shoulder and winter monthly rates, keeping Airbnb, Booking.com, Vrbo and Abritel aligned so French and Spanish guests see the same totals.

The service in general is described on my airbnb revenue forecast page; this page covers how I apply it in Biarritz.

Consultant's view

Alaa's take on Biarritz

“Biarritz and the Basque coast are surf and beach markets with a big summer festival, the Fêtes de Bayonne. Biarritz has also introduced change-of-use compensation rules that make new holiday lets hard to create, so existing authorised ones are valuable. September's surf season extends the year.”

How I price it

My Biarritz calendar, and what I do in each period

  1. November to MarchLow

    Winter surfers and weekend visitors from Bordeaux and Spain keep some demand. I price weekends modestly and offer monthly stays to remote workers.

  2. April to JuneShoulder

    Easter, French bank holidays and early surfers bring spring demand. I price long weekends higher and open summer dates with confident rates.

  3. July to AugustPeak

    French and Spanish families, surfers and the Fêtes de Bayonne fill the coast. I price by the week with firm minimums and lift the festival days.

  4. September to OctoberShoulder

    Warm seas and strong swells bring surfers and couples. I step rates down gradually and allow shorter stays from mid-September.

What I check first in Biarritz

  • Whether the property has the correct registration number and change-of-use authorisation, and whether it is a main or secondary residence, since French and Biarritz rules decide how many nights it may be let.
  • Whether the listing shows the walk to the nearest surf beach and parking, because summer guests choose by beach access and a place to leave the car.
  • Whether the tourist tax is collected and the listing shows a clear total, since French and Spanish guests compare carefully across channels.
