Why Royal Marbella Golf Resort?

Investing in our Royal Marbella @ Costa del Sol resort gives you the best of both worlds.

Your property in this boutique resort, within the Golden Triangle, is available for your personal use for up to 60 days every year. That’s a full two months! You can take those 60 days whenever you want, whether you want to spread it out over the year or avoid the cold, damp British winter.

And for the other ten months, when you aren’t there yourself, you can sit back and relax, knowing your investment property is in good hands, managed and operated by the internationally renowned Marriott Hotel and Resort group.

Situated in the so-called ‘Golden Triangle’ between Marbella, Estepona, and Benahavis, this investment opportunity is well placed to offer visitors the best of the Costa del Sol, its coastline, sunshine and culture.

It also has the advantage of being in a location well-known as a year-round tourist hotspot and golf haven.

As you would expect from a contemporary luxury resort, the on-site amenities are second to none, with charming pool areas for sunbathing or dining.

If you need to catch up on some work while you are away, the full business centre support is available in the co-working space.

There is a gym for your daily workout or a spa if you would prefer a pampering session.

In addition, you have access to golf, riding, tennis, water sports, jeep safaris, beach clubs and individually arranged cultural tours.

In fact, you can enjoy all the services and facilities of a luxury hotel but with the convenience, comfort, and independent living provided by your own apartment in the sun.

The luxury doesn’t stop at the exterior.

Every property benefits from the interior styling of FOC Design, an award-winning creative team known in the area for its stylish collection of both residential and commercial properties.

Inside, you can expect a contemporary boutique style with functionality and comfort at its heart.

Why Spain?

Okay, we have discussed the rewards of owning a Spanish property in the sun.

Let’s take a closer look at the tourism industry in Spain.

Firstly, Spain is top of the league regarding tourism, offering 300+ days of sunshine a year.

Unsurprisingly, it is the number one country in Europe where tourists stay for the highest number of nights.

This makes it a sound property investment opportunity because those tourists all need somewhere to stay, many of them for long holidays.

This means that your property has the potential to be let for weeks at a time rather than for just short stays of a couple of nights.

Spain is an affordable option for many UK tourists.

The cost of living is much cheaper than here in the UK.

According to a 2022 cost of living league table put together by Numbeo, Spain ranks 21st, below European travel destinations such as France (10), Malta (16), Italy (17) and even Greece (19).  

It is also ranked six places below the UK at 15, meaning that those booking a holiday apartment can effectively live cheaper in Spain than in the UK for the duration of their holiday.

This is good news for those owning properties to let in Spain, especially during the current cost of living crisis.

The UK Civil Aviation Authority reports that 2022 saw passenger numbers reach 75% of their pre-pandemic totals. 16% of these passengers travelled to Spain (including the Canary Islands.)

This is very encouraging news, especially as passenger numbers to Spain reached 83% of the 2019 total at almost 37 million people.

With most flights to Spain taking between two-three hours from many regional airports across the UK, it is easy to see why it is such a popular tourist destination.

In addition, even though airfares have risen this year because of the ongoing war in Ukraine and its effect on jet fuel prices, Spanish destinations still offer some of the lowest fares, with low-cost airlines like Ryanair, EasyJet and Jet2 scheduling frequent flights.

Why buy a Spanish holiday apartment in Marbella?

According to Property Investor Today,  the property market in Marbella has recovered quickly following the pandemic, with sales increasing by 45% from 2020 to 2021 and then another 65% above the 2021 figure during the first six months of 2022.

Moreover, In Spain News reports that Marbella recorded a property price rise of 19.9% last year, the highest across Spain.

This is only good news for investors with ongoing investment and infrastructure improvements in the region.

When you invest in an apartment in the Royal Marbella Golf Resort with Holmeshaw Property Investments, you will know that we don’t offer clients opportunities we wouldn’t invest in ourselves.

There is no lease. You will own the property outright.

This allows you to sell your property later on without the hassle of a lease, making the resale process much smoother.

 Although the initial investment is greater, you will save money on holidays, benefit from a rental return, and enjoy high capital growth prospects.

Your initial investment starts at €202,000 for a one-bedroom unit and €234,000 for a two-bedroom unit, rising to the highest investment of €395,000 for a three-bedroom unit.

Based on the rental for a two-bedroom apartment, you can expect a rental income of 6% and a capital growth increase of 3%.
