These are difficult times due to the coronavirus, little by little we return to normality and in July the Canary Islands will reopen to foreign tourists and visitors.

The evolution of the Covid-19 is being very favourable and the Canary Islands is the community in Spain with the best results, since out of 100,000 PCR tests, only 404 have been positive.

The reopening of the borders in the Canary Islands will help with social and economic revival. It will allow foreign owners to enjoy their second residence in the best climate in the world. In addition, Spain has one of the best health care systems, a fact that provides extra peace of mind for all those who want to come and enjoy our beaches.

In chinese, crisis means both risk and opportunity. We must see this time of change as an opportunity to recycle ourselves. Hotels must comply with strict security measures like limitations and off grounds in common areas. These changes will encourage families to enjoy better a holiday villa as a holiday let or even buy their second home in the islands.

The tourist rental market will see changes especially in the heart of large cities and their centres, but everything points towards a positive growth on the islands. The search for independent villas and houses with a terrace and private pool have tripled in the last month. Luxury often remains oblivious to these crises, so investing in a luxury bungalow or exclusive villa in the south of the island for seasonal rental is still one of the best ways to get a return on your savings.

During the last week we have received inquiries for rentals from Canarian families in complexes that include communal pools or villas with private pools. A time when working from home will continue to be a strong reality we shall see an increase in families seeking a change of scenery after confinement in their homes.

The demand for housing by Canarian citizens is matching the demand by foreigners. It will be a different summer, the first of a new stage and in which the rental of luxury apartments and villas is the focus of foreigners. The genuine special appeal that the Canary Islands have is now heightened further thanks to the low incidence of coronavirus.
