Why golf properties are a solid investment


Properties located near or within golf communities in the Costa del Sol benefit from:


Consistent rental demand – Tourists and seasonal residents look for well-located homes near the best golf courses.

High-value tenants – Golf travelers often spend more and seek quality accommodation.

Year-round occupancy – Thanks to the climate, golf season never really ends here.

Capital appreciation – Areas like Marbella, Estepona, Mijas and Sotogrande continue to grow in value.


If you’re looking for a buy-to-let opportunity or simply want to own a vacation property that pays for itself when you're not using it, this market has real potential.



Who’s investing here—and why?


Many of our clients are:

  • British and Irish investors looking to diversify post-Brexit

  • Americans seeking a lower-tax, lifestyle-based investment in Europe

  • Northern Europeans interested in passive income and Mediterranean living

  • Retirees and pre-retirees who plan to live part of the year here while earning rental income the rest


Most are drawn by the low property taxes, straightforward purchasing process, and the ability to enjoy their property for several weeks a year, while renting it out the rest of the time.
