Your apartment is part of a professionally operated holiday resort. The on-site team handles everything — marketing, guest bookings, check-ins, cleaning, and maintenance. You don’t need to advertise, find tenants, or arrange repairs — it’s all taken care of.

You receive a guaranteed annual return of around 6%, depending on your management contract and how much personal use you choose. Your rental income is paid directly by the resort operator, providing stable, predictable earnings without any of the usual rental hassle.

Unlike most rental properties where owners pay monthly community fees for the upkeep of pools, gardens, and shared facilities, all of that is included here. The resort operator manages every aspect of maintenance and communal care, so you have no ongoing community costs to worry about.

The only recurring expense for owners is the local property tax (IBI) — a standard annual municipal tax applied to real estate in Spain. There are no hidden charges or surprise maintenance bills; everything else is covered within the management structure.

As an owner, you have the option to enjoy the apartment yourself for a set number of weeks each year, usually during the lower season when it’s not reserved for holiday rentals. You simply book your preferred dates in advance, and the rest of the year your property continues to generate income.

Holiday rentals on the Costa del Sol continue to see intense demand — but today it’s becoming much harder for standard properties to secure legal tourist-rental status. Recent changes to Spanish law require explicit community approval before short-term rentals are permitted in apartment complexes, and a growing national registry mandates registration of every holiday-rental property.

Because of this, many owners are being blocked from converting their homes into holiday lets — making turnkey, fully managed properties with existing rental-compliance structures all the more valuable. You not only benefit from income now but stand to gain from capital appreciation as such compliant units become increasingly scarce.
