Spain remains one of Europe's most active markets for international real-estate buyers. A deep rental market, year-round tourism and a large stock of both resale and off-plan inventory mean there is something for most strategies — from a coastal second home to a pure rental play.
This guide walks through the regions investors ask about most. Figures are indicative ranges drawn from what sellers publish on the platform; they are not forecasts, and yields vary widely by property, location and management. Always do your own due diligence.
The regions
Costa del Sol (Málaga province)
The best-known international market in Spain — Marbella, Estepona, Fuengirola and the city of Málaga itself. Strong short-term-rental demand, a long season and consistent foreign buyer interest. Indicative gross yields commonly fall in the 4–6% range for well-located rental stock; prime Marbella is bought more for lifestyle and capital preservation than yield.
Costa Blanca (Alicante province)
Alicante, Torrevieja, Jávea and Dénia. More affordable entry points than the Costa del Sol, popular with northern-European buyers. New-build coastal developments are abundant. Indicative gross yields around 5–7% on rental-focused units.
