What's actually sourced, by bedroom count

Alanya-wide gross long-term yields from Global Property Guide's rental-yield survey (S1). No district-level breakdown is published for these figures — treat them as a citywide baseline, not a promise for any specific street or complex.

Gross yield estimates for Alanya vary a lot between sources. Global Property Guide's survey — a dedicated rental-yield research source, not a property marketer — puts Alanya's gross long-term yields at roughly 4-6% depending on bedroom count (S1). Several broker and content-marketing sites quote a noticeably higher 7-12% range instead (S5). We treat the GPG figures as the more reliable baseline and the higher claims as optimistic marketing, but neither is a guarantee for any specific property — the only way to know a property's real yield is to check actual achievable rent against its actual price.
Gross vs net

Why the headline number isn't what you keep

Gross yield is simply annual rent divided by purchase price. Net yield subtracts everything it actually costs to hold and let the property: building maintenance fees, annual property tax, mandatory DASK insurance, vacancy between tenants, any management or agency fees, and income tax on the rent itself (see the Turkey property-taxes guide for that last one). Net yield is always lower than gross — often substantially — which is why a headline percentage on its own tells you very little.

Short-term rental

A different, and currently weaker, picture

A May 2026 snapshot of Alanya's short-term rental market found an estimated average of about TRY 265,000 in annual revenue at roughly 19% occupancy, across 818 active listings — down 54% year on year (S2). Top-performing properties reached around TRY 836,000 a year, while the weakest managed only about TRY 57,000, illustrating how much individual results vary. Treat any specific short-term yield claim with real caution and model your own numbers conservatively rather than relying on marketing averages.

FAQ

Rental yield in Alanya: frequently asked questions

What's a realistic gross rental yield in Alanya?

Global Property Guide's survey — a dedicated research source rather than a property marketer — puts it at roughly 4-6% depending on bedroom count (S1). Several broker sites claim a higher 7-12% range instead; see the note above for why we treat the GPG figures as more reliable.

Why do different sources give such different yield numbers?

Methodology and incentive both play a role — a dedicated rental-yield research survey and a property-marketing website aren't measuring the same way or motivated the same way. We flag this disagreement rather than pick whichever number sounds best (S1, S5).

What's the difference between gross and net yield?

Gross yield is annual rent divided by purchase price, before any costs. Net yield subtracts maintenance fees, property tax, DASK insurance, vacancy, management fees and income tax — it's always meaningfully lower than the gross figure.

Do smaller units really yield more than larger ones?

According to the sourced data, yes — 1-bedroom units show the highest gross yield (≈6.06%) and the figure generally declines as unit size increases (S1), though this is a citywide pattern, not a guarantee for any specific property.

Is there a district-level yield breakdown for Alanya?

Not from the sources we could verify — the gross-yield figures on this page are Alanya-wide, not broken down by district. Treat them as a baseline and check actual achievable rent for your specific target property and area.

How reliable is short-term (Airbnb-style) income in Alanya?

Currently weak and highly variable based on a May 2026 snapshot: about 19% average occupancy and a wide spread between top- and bottom-performing listings (S2). Model conservatively rather than assuming an average outcome.

What costs actually reduce net yield the most?

Property management or agency fees and vacancy between tenants are often the largest reductions from gross to net, alongside annual property tax and mandatory DASK insurance — see the Turkey property-taxes and cost-of-buying guides for the specific figures.

Should I trust a specific yield percentage an agent quotes me?

Treat any single quoted figure as a starting point to verify, not a guarantee — ask for the actual comparable rents it's based on, and compare against the sourced citywide baseline on this page.

Does buying a cheaper property automatically mean a higher yield?

Not necessarily — yield depends on the relationship between purchase price and achievable rent, not price alone; a cheap property in low demand can yield worse than a pricier one in high demand.

Is rental income from an Alanya property taxed?

Yes — as ordinary income, on Turkey's progressive tax bands; see the Turkey property-taxes guide for the rates and how they compare with the capital gains rules that apply on eventual sale.

Important legal note on short-term rentals

Under Türkiye’s Law No. 7464 and the related Regulation, renting a residence under a single contract for 100 days or less falls within tourism-purpose rental rules and requires a Turizm Amaçlı Kiralama İzin Belgesi before the rental contract is made. For a unit in a multi-unit building, an application generally requires a unanimous decision of the owners of the residential independent units in that building; different provisions apply to qualifying high-end residences and certain special cases. Listings must also display the permit and document information required by the rules. Before buying for short-term rental, verify the specific property, building rules and current requirements with the Ministry of Culture and Tourism or the relevant Provincial Directorate. This is general information, not legal advice.
