Which Canary Islands municipalities are affected?
The report by Radio Insular confirms three Canary Islands municipalities among the 25 most expensive in Spain. The available report names Guía de Isora and Adeje, both in the south of Tenerife. The name of the third municipality is not given in the agency report.
Guía de Isora recorded a price rise of 115.54 percent over five years, according to pisos.com. That means the value has more than doubled. Adeje rose by 67.13 percent over the same period.
According to pisos.com, Guía de Isora stood at 4,657 euros per square metre, Adeje at 4,939 euros per square metre and San Bartolomé de Tirajana at 4,567 euros per square metre.
How sharply have prices risen?
The national average of the 25 most expensive municipalities was 6,087 euros per square metre in September 2026, according to pisos.com. That was 54.5 percent more than five years earlier.
Guía de Isora recorded the second-strongest rise in the entire national ranking, according to pisos.com. Only Andratx in Mallorca was ahead, with 122.08 percent. Sixteen of the 25 municipalities rose by more than 50 percent. Adeje (67.13 percent) is among the five named places in the 50 to 100 percent group, together with Marbella, Bunyola, Sant Lluís and Santa Eulària des Riu.
Four of the 25 most expensive municipalities in Spain doubled their value over the five-year period, according to pisos.com. Alongside Andratx and Guía de Isora, these were Santa Maria del Camí with 107.96 percent and Sóller with 106.08 percent.
What does this mean for residents and prospective buyers?
The figures show a sharp rise in asking prices in particularly sought-after municipalities. According to Radio Insular, this mainly affects the south of Tenerife. Residents and foreign buyers are equally affected.
The sources do not mention any new purchase rule, any additional levy or any application deadline. For visitors, the figures change neither entry nor stay rules.
The average asking price in the Canary Islands stood at 3,349 euros per square metre in September 2026, according to idealista. That was 6.3 percent more than in September 2025.
How do the Canary Islands compare nationally?
The Balearic Islands accounted for 15 of the 25 most expensive municipalities in Spain, according to pisos.com. The Canary Islands and Catalonia each accounted for three. Andalusia and the Basque Country each accounted for two.
Formentera topped the ranking, according to pisos.com. It was the only municipality in Spain to exceed 10,000 euros per square metre. It was followed by Santa Eulària des Riu with 9,027 euros and Andratx with 8,543 euros per square metre.
The Basque municipalities of Zarautz and Hondarribia showed more moderate rises of 26.13 and 30.40 percent respectively, according to pisos.com. They were therefore well below the figures from the Canary Islands and the Balearic Islands.
Which figures remain open?
