Marbella is not only an ideal destination to live or enjoy vacations. It is also, for years, one of the most profitable markets in Europe for those looking to invest in a property and generate income through renting. At Marbella Top Homes, we accompany clients on a daily basis who buy with precisely this objective in mind: to acquire a property with a high return capacity. But what makes Marbella such an attractive place for this type of investment?
To begin with, the demand for rentals is constant throughout the year. Although summer remains the highest peak, Marbella has a particularity: its season is longer than in other coastal cities. Thanks to its privileged climate and its cultural, sporting and gastronomic offer, more and more people choose to come in spring, autumn and even winter. This phenomenon has generated a medium-stay rental market (one to six months) that is in full expansion.
In addition, the tenant profile has changed. It is no longer just tourists looking for a week’s vacation. Today, we find nomadic professionals, international families who want to explore before buying, golf school students, remote workers and retirees who want to spend longer periods in Southern Europe. This new public is looking for well-equipped, modern properties with good internet connection, large terraces and, if possible, a swimming pool or proximity to the sea.
Buy-to-let in Marbella also offers excellent gross returns, especially if done with proper advice. In areas such as Nueva Andalucía, Elviria, Cabopino or the center of Marbella, holiday rentals can generate significant income within a few months, and if combined with low season rentals, the annual return can exceed 6 or 7%. In some cases, even more.
Another plus is that the market is regulated. While it is necessary to obtain a tourist housing license (VFT), the process is clear and, with the help of experts like those at Marbella Top Homes, can be managed quickly. A legalized and properly managed property is a guarantee of sustainable income and avoids future problems.
In addition, Marbella has comprehensive rental management services. This means that, if the buyer does not live here, he can hire companies to take care of everything: from the promotion of the property on platforms such as Airbnb or Booking, to cleaning, check-in, maintenance or guest service. At Marbella Top Homes we work with trusted partners to offer our clients a 360° solution, without complications.
And we cannot forget the revaluation of the property. While generating passive income from renting, housing in Marbella tends to increase in value over time. Buying now, at a time when new construction and renovations are redefining the market, can be a very smart move. In a few years, that property can be sold at a much higher price or become the owner’s primary residence.
In short, buying to rent in Marbella is not only an opportunity for immediate income, but also a safe investment in the medium and long term. From Marbella Top Homes, we offer a comprehensive support, from the selection of the property to its profitability. Because your investment deserves care, vision and results.
