There is a huge demand in Marbella for various types of rentals, including long-term rentals, and short-term rentals. The average day temperature in summer is 28 ℃ and the sun shines for 320 days a year, Marbella is a popular destination all year round for those seeking a European escape. Due to the climate, nightlife and location, holiday rentals are the most popular type of rental in Marbella.
As the country has now fully recovered from the Covid epidemic, property demand in Spain is once again forecast to soar in 2023, investing is all about timing, and 2023 is the year to invest in Spain to reap the benefits of this growing rental demand and assure a high occupancy rate in your property.
Investing in a Marbella property would provide investors with the potential for a stable rental income, as well as being a great addition to one’s property portfolio.
2. Thriving Economy and Luxury Lifestyle
The economy of Marbella is impacted by its growing tourism industry, which provides significant employment opportunities and drives demand for local goods and services. The area is home to a thriving hospitality sector, with a variety of restaurants, shops, and hotels catering to approximately 30 million tourists annually. Additionally, Marbella is known for its luxury lifestyle, especially in the area of The Golden Mile, which attracts wealthy and high-net-worth individuals looking for second homes or investment properties. This, in turn, supports the local construction and real estate industries, providing further economic benefits . With a stable political and economic environment, Marbella is a destination that is well-positioned for sustained economic growth in the years to come.
3. Potential for Capital Growth
The Spanish coastal city has seen huge capital appreciation, and the property prices in Marbella are still relatively low compared to other European countries, showing that 2023 is the perfect year to take advantage of an investment in Marbella to benefit from both capital appreciation and a low entry point.
The 2008 property market crash saw the real estate prices in Marbella dramatically fall however, post-crash, the property appreciation rate in Marbella has been consistently above average, making Marbella a great opportunity for investors looking for long-term capital growth. Over the past 10 years, the capital growth throughout the whole of Spain has been significant; however, Marbella is one area of Spain which has seen the highest rises in price, around 63% to be exact according to Spanish property insight.

5. Low-Interest Rates In Spain
The low borrowing costs throughout Spain are derived from the country’s low-interest rates, making it simpler and less expensive for investors to secure finance for property purchases. Non spanish residents are required to put down at least a 30% down payment, however, spanish residents can access a 90% mortgage offer.
Low-interest rates also make it more attractive for investors to hold onto their properties in the long term, as they can enjoy the benefits of rental income without having to worry about high financing costs. As a result, low-interest rates can play a significant role in increasing demand for properties and supporting the growth of the property market.
Overall, the low-interest rates can increase an investor’s purchasing power and allow them to invest in more expensive properties or multiple properties, diversifying their portfolio and spreading the risk.
