Andorra's tourist accommodation capacity stood at 42,201 places in 2025, a reduction of 1,500 from 43,731 in 2024, according to figures released this week by the Statistics Department.

Classified establishments, encompassing hotels, aparthotels, hostels, residences, guesthouses, and tourist apartments, numbered 218—one fewer than the prior year—offering 29,661 beds. This marks a decline of 632 beds, or 2%, from 30,293, representing the lowest level since records began in 2003 and the first time dipping below 30,000. The drop continues a four-year downward trend that started in 2022.

Of these, 163 were hotels, 29 tourist apartments, 15 aparthotels, eight hostels or residences, and three guesthouses. Hotels lost 532 beds, tourist apartments 86, guesthouses 50, and hostels or residences 24, partly offset by a 60-bed increase in aparthotels.

By star rating, five-star capacity fell from 2,465 to 2,124 beds, four-star from 13,322 to 13,129, and three-star from 10,756 to 10,527. One- and two-star options rose from 3,360 to 3,565.

Canillo topped the parishes with 6,091 beds, down from 6,560, followed by Encamp at 5,823 (up from 5,790), Andorra la Vella at 5,578 (down from 5,705), La Massana at 4,824, and Escaldes-Engordany at 4,626. Sant Julià de Lòria saw growth from 856 to 952 beds.

Alternative accommodations included 165 establishments, led by 107 EGHUT firms overseeing 2,358 tourist homes—264 fewer than in 2024—yielding 11,403 beds, down from 12,621. The decline links to the sustainable growth and housing rights law. Other options comprised 17 rural lodgings, 28 mountain refuges (21 unguarded), five campsites, six youth hostels, one camping area, and one holiday colony.

Operators submit annual capacity data via the Tourist Accommodation Occupancy Register through service and pricing declarations, highlighting the sector's persistent contraction.
