Spanish Guests Dominate Andorra's Tourist Apartments in Strong Winter Season

Spanish visitors staying two to three nights form the largest group of guests at Andorra's tourist apartments, according to the Association of Tourist Accommodation Companies. French visitors trail far behind in second place, followed by Dutch travellers in third. Stays of four to six nights also account for a significant share, while one-night visits rank third in frequency.

The association, which tracks data from 719 registered apartments during the winter season from October to March, reported strong performance in the final quarter of 2024. Overall occupancy rose 5% to 10% above the same period in 2024, with apartments near ski resorts faring especially well.

In Canillo, home to 160 apartments mainly in El Tarter and Bordes d'Envalira, occupancy started at just over 31% in October, climbed to 42% in November, and exceeded 83% in December. Reservations point to sustained 83% occupancy in January, over 90% in February, and 77% in March.

Encamp's 494 apartments, concentrated in Pas de la Casa, began the season sluggishly at 4% in October but reached nearly 70% in both November and December. Forecasts show 85.5% for January, almost 87% for February, and a drop to 56% in March.

Andorra la Vella's 65 apartments recorded more modest figures: 32% in October, 44% in November, and 50% in December. Projections indicate 75% occupancy in January, 64% in February, and 29% in March.

Association representatives described the early winter months as highly positive and expressed optimism for the next three months, citing recent snowfalls as a key factor boosting bookings.
