Rental management in Marbella.

Glaser offers several Marbella management packages. Each pairs a commitment length with a different balance of flexibility. Marbella owners typically pick by sub-market: Puerto Banús and Golden Mile premium short-let owners want one structure, Sierra Blanca and Nueva Andalucía family-stay owners often pick another. We walk you through the options at the discovery call.

Yes. Owner-use blocks are standard. In Marbella the typical owner pattern concentrates around premium-summer (4-8 weeks across June-September) and Easter; many Sierra Blanca and Nueva Andalucía owners take additional 2-3 weeks at year-end. Tell us your dates and we block the calendar before the listing goes live. Reasonable owner usage is built into every Glaser management agreement; your property stays yours.

You don't until we've worked together. What we promise up front: a senior team member as your direct contact, a Marbella monthly statement that ties out to the cent, and an honest no when we're not the right manager for your block. Marbella has the most aggressive licence enforcement on the Costa del Sol; we say no more often here than in coastal-Mijas or Fuengirola.

We manage in Marbella, alongside Benalmádena (our home city), Fuengirola, Mijas, Torremolinos, Málaga and Benahavís. If your property is in any of those seven, or inland in Coín, Alhaurín el Grande or Alhaurín de la Torre, we'll route you to the right Glaser Group team. For properties outside the Costa del Sol, we don't operate there and we'll say so.

We share comparable figures from neighbouring Costa del Sol cities at the discovery call, adjusted for Marbella-specific sub-market characteristics: the spread between Puerto Banús apartments, Golden Mile front-line, Nueva Andalucía golf-valley and Sierra Blanca gated estates is wide. We're explicit about which figures come from operational data and which are directional from the broader market. Real numbers, real dates.

We onboard at handover or within three months of keys. Marbella has heavy off-plan delivery in 2025-2026 in Nueva Andalucía and the East Side, and licence-readiness varies dramatically between developments. Before formal onboarding we can advise on which schemes have a clean 3/5 community-vote position and which are watching neighbours vote prohibition. Formal management starts when the keys are in your hand.

Airbnb, Booking.com, VRBO and more, plus several premium-end direct-booking channels for the Marbella audience. Marbella's premium short-let buyer mix doesn't behave like coastal-Mijas or Fuengirola; we lean into the channels that actually convert here. Direct bookings come through this site and the Costa del Sol umbrella.

Marbella patterns differently from coastal short-let towns. Summer (June-September) is dominant; Easter is strong; winter is quieter than Fuengirola but stronger than mountain-belt cities thanks to repeat-guest direct bookings and longer-stay premium-segment travellers. The mix depends on the property and the urbanisation. There isn't one Marbella low-season strategy.

When the community of owners has voted in favour of short-term rental, or where the property is an individual freehold villa with no community vote required, the Junta de Andalucía declaración responsable typically processes in 1-5 working days. The same Andalusian regional process under Decreto 31/2024 applies. The community vote itself is a separate prerequisite, not part of the licence-processing time. In Marbella, the vote step is where most timelines actually extend. Many gated developments have voted prohibition.

Yes, and Marbella has the most aggressive licence enforcement on the Costa del Sol. Ley Orgánica 1/2025 (the April 2025 amendment to the Ley de Propiedad Horizontal, in force 3 April 2025) requires a three-fifths majority vote in any community building before new VUT licences can be granted. Many Sierra Blanca, La Quinta and Nueva Andalucía gated developments have voted to prohibit new short-term rental. Valid VUT licences issued before 3 April 2025 are grandfathered. We don't keep a city-wide registry of vote positions; they change. For every Marbella property we consider managing, we read the comunidad meeting minutes to confirm the current position before recommending short-let.

No longer. The NRUA (Número de Registro Único de Alquiler), introduced by Royal Decree 1312/2024 and briefly in force from 1 July 2025, was annulled by the Spanish Supreme Court in May 2026 on the grounds that the State lacked the competence to create it. It is no longer a requirement. In Andalucía the VUT remains the registration platforms verify, and we handle it at onboarding as part of the management package.

Owner statements are issued in the first week of each month for the previous month's reservations. Each statement breaks out platform commission, cleaning, maintenance, and our management fee separately so you can see exactly where the gross income goes. Bank transfers go out the same day the statement is issued. Year-end summaries are prepared every January for the Spanish tax year and sent to your gestor or accountant on request.

Yes. Every guest stay in a VUT property must be registered with the Guardia Civil under the SES.HOSPEDAJES system within 24 hours of arrival. We handle this for every Glaser-managed property; it's not work the owner needs to do. Failure to register guests is one of the most common causes of municipal fines for owners self-managing in Marbella. The system requires guest passport details and stay dates; everything is logged and we keep records for the legal retention period.

Glaser's Marbella management package is end-to-end: operational services that Spanish municipal law and platform algorithms both require, all included in one fee. Specifically: VUT licensing through the Junta de Andalucía · multi-portal listing on Airbnb, Booking.com, VRBO and more · dynamic pricing calibrated on Marbella comparables · guest enquiries and 24-hour multilingual support · in-person check-in (we don't use lockboxes) · welcome basket · SES.HOSPEDAJES traveller registration · cleaning · linen · maintenance coordination · monthly owner statements with platform fees broken out · and annual N2 filing each February. Photography, professional towel and linen sets, and the N2 filing itself are quoted separately at onboarding.

Yes. Every VUT property is required to file the Modelo N2 declaration with the Junta de Andalucía each February for the previous year. We prepare the filing alongside your monthly statements through the year, so the data is ready when February comes. The N2 filing is a separately-quoted service rather than included in the standard management fee. For non-Spanish-resident owners, we also flag the Modelo 210 annual non-resident income tax requirement and route you to a Spanish gestor if you don't already have one.
