Glaser Group manages holiday rentals across Benalmádena — Puerto Marina and Benalmádena Costa, Arroyo de la Miel, the Pueblo, Torrequebrada, Torremuelle and Carvajal. Airbnb Superhost, family-run, and based in Arroyo de la Miel rather than a head office elsewhere. VUT paperwork handled end-to-end, in-person check-in on every arrival, in-house cleaning and 24/7 multilingual concierge.
From the first photo to the last guest check-out. Everything you’d expect, plus the regulatory work most managers charge extra for.
Reviews from property owners whose apartments and villas we manage, verified on Google.
We have a few apartments for rent with Glaser Holiday Rentals. We are very satisfied with Maarten and his team. We receive excellent guidance throughout the rental process. We are well provided with all the necessary information and a monthly administrative update. The communication is pleasant. They take very good care of our apartments, tenants, and therefore us as well.
We use Glaser Holiday Rentalservice. We are extremely satisfied with this. The booking process is smooth and clear, and the communication is professional and friendly.

Glaser Group is run by Maarten Glaser from an office in Arroyo de la Miel, ten minutes from most properties we manage. Dutch by birth, Costa del Sol by choice. GIPE and CEPI accredited on the real estate side.
I’m Maarten; Dutch, on the Costa del Sol since 2017. Glaser Group started in 2019 as a real estate business, run from our office in Arroyo de la Miel. The holiday rental arm came in 2025.
Every owner gets a senior member of our team as their direct contact, monthly statements with no surprises, and an honest opinion when something isn’t working. We’re family-run, and an Airbnb Superhost.
“If we wouldn’t recommend a property to a friend, we don’t take it on.”
Every Benalmádena owner is assigned a dedicated senior contact from our team; based in Arroyo de la Miel, ten minutes from most of the properties we manage. Not a ticket, not a shared inbox, not a rotating account manager. The same voice you spoke to at the discovery call answers your owner statement question in November.
Every Benalmádena property gets an itemised monthly view: platform income, community fees, cleaning turnover, maintenance flags. The split between summer short-stays and the Northern European long-stay winter shows up on the same line, so the seasonality of your block is visible at a glance.
VUT through the Junta de Andalucía Málaga delegation, the annual N2 filing every February. Community-vote conversations in Puerto Marina & Benalmádena Costa and Torrequebrada blocks where they come up. Benalmádena’s ayuntamiento moves faster on most paperwork than Mijas or Marbella; that timing matters.
Dutch, English, Spanish, German across the team; and beyond. Puerto Marina & Benalmádena Costa pulls Scandinavian and Dutch repeat guests; Torrequebrada leans British golf; Arroyo de la Miel is where Dutch long-stay retirees come back winter after winter. Every guest answered in their language matters more here than the brochures suggest.
Benalmádena is our home city. We know the buildings, the community managers, the seasonal rhythms by block. But not every Benalmádena property fits the Glaser approach; if your block has voted prohibition with no path to a licence, or your unit can’t pass the Junta minimums, we’ll say so at the discovery call rather than after onboarding.
Most rental managers on the Costa del Sol treat your property like inventory. We treat it like the second home you trusted us with, because that’s what it is.
A short conversation with Maarten and José about how we work, from our office in Arroyo de la Miel.
Instant estimate based on real comparable property data we manage. Calibrated honestly: we’d rather tell you a realistic number than promise more and disappoint.
Your estimate will appear here once you complete the form.
No pressure, no commitment until you’re ready. We walk the property, run the numbers, explain what we’d do, and only then does a contract exist.
Dynamic pricing and multi-portal listing carry the revenue. Everything operational that sits underneath is done by our own people; not outsourced, not subcontracted, not key box.
Every holiday rental on the Costa del Sol needs the Andalucian VUT (Vivienda de Uso Turístico). The national NRUA number introduced by Royal Decree 1312/2024 applied from July 2025 until the Supreme Court annulled it in May 2026, leaving the VUT as the only registration platforms verify.
The VUT is registered in the name of the rental management company, not the individual owner. Compliance responsibility sits with us, not you. Straightforward applications can be processed in as little as a day.
If you already hold a valid VUT licence, it keeps its status under the old rules; no community vote needed. Only new applications in community buildings require a 3/5 majority vote under the April 2025 amendment to the Ley de Propiedad Horizontal. Some newer developments prohibit short-term rental entirely.
In Benalmádena specifically: the ayuntamiento processes community-vote paperwork relatively quickly compared to Mijas or Marbella, and Puerto Marina, Benalmádena Costa and Torrequebrada blocks have established precedents for VUT approvals. Torremuelle and Arroyo de la Miel follow the same standard Junta procedure. Our team files every N2 declaration with the Junta de Andalucía each February.

The apartment was in a great location and maintained to a great standard. The amenities were clean and accessible. Jose was a great host, friendly and knowledgeable. The communication with Glaser was easygoing. We would definitely stay there again. Overall we really enjoyed staying with Glaser.
Wonderful stay, we would definitely return. Extremely responsive and helpful host, always went above and beyond and really wanted us to have a great stay! Apartment was spotless, bed was extremely comfortable!
Had a very pleasant experience with this company. Communication is very good, and the apartment was above expectations! Would 100% recommend.
We had a wonderful stay in Glaser Holiday Homes. The apartment was clean, comfortable, and well located, making it easy to explore the area and enjoy the beach. The staff were friendly and helpful throughout our stay.
The experience was fantastic. The service was exceptional, very professional, friendly, and attentive at all times. The apartment was spotless and exceeded our expectations. We will definitely be back. Highly recommended.
Excellent host, perfect location, very clean and central with everything. Close to the sea, public transport (train and bus), and restaurants. The apartment was exactly as described. A memorable stay.
Genuine local knowledge isn’t a marketing line. It’s the small operational decisions that compound into better guest reviews and a higher annual figure. Four we make differently depending on where the property sits:
Almost nobody who books here rents a car. The marina, the restaurants and Malapesquera beach all sit inside a 400-metre walk, so we write the listing around walking times rather than parking. The repeat Northern European guests matter more than the headline rate — a booking here is rarely a one-off.
Two demand engines running on opposite calendars: golf fills weekdays from October to April, the beachfront blocks fill June to September. Price a Torrequebrada property on one summer curve and the winter golf weeks sit underpriced. We also read the community statutes building by building — the gated developments each set their own rules.
Arroyo earns in winter, not in August. Long stays from November to March are the dominant revenue line, which changes how the calendar is held — chasing short summer lets can cost more than the peak weeks return. The station puts guests at Málaga airport in twenty minutes, so most arrive without a car.
The promenade is the quiet asset. It runs to Torremuelle one way and Los Boliches the other, and it holds the shoulder months up with a walking market that never appears in a summer-only pricing model. Twenty-five minutes to the airport on the Cercanías, so the car-free angle does real work in the listing.
Weekly notes from the team — regulation, market dynamics, how things actually work.
Benalmádena is the home base of Glaser Group and one piece of a wider rental management network running the full length of the Costa del Sol. We also actively manage Torremolinos rental management, Mijas rental management, Fuengirola rental management, Marbella rental management, Benahavís rental management and Málaga rental management, plus three inland-anchor sites in the Guadalhorce valley. The Costa del Sol umbrella site connects every city team.
Glaser is a Benalmádena property management company based in Arroyo de la Miel, where our office has worked with property owners across Puerto Marina & Benalmádena Costa, Carvajal-Torremuelle, the Pueblo and Costa-Benalmádena since the rental division launched. Our Benalmádena property management service covers everything Spanish law and the booking platforms now require: VUT licensing through the Junta de Andalucía, multi-portal listing on Airbnb, Booking.com and VRBO, dynamic pricing tuned to Benalmádena comparables, in-person guest check-in (we don’t use lockboxes), 24-hour multilingual guest support, monthly owner statements, and annual N2 filing. Whether you’ve been searching for a Benalmádena property manager, a Benalmádena Airbnb management company, a vacation rental manager, or short-let management for your Benalmádena apartment — that’s what we do.
Our home office is in Arroyo de la Miel. One team, one licensing process, and one owner contact across the network. Twenty minutes to any property we manage on the central coast.
If your question isn’t here, call or message us directly. We answer honestly whether we’re the right manager for you or not.
Glaser offers several Benalmádena management packages; each pairs a commitment length with a different balance of flexibility. Benalmádena owners typically pick by sub-market: Puerto Marina & Benalmádena Costa and Costa apartment-block owners want one structure, Pueblo and Carvajal-Torremuelle owners often pick another. We walk you through the options at the discovery call.
Yes, owner-use blocks are standard. In Benalmádena the typical owner pattern splits across summer (Puerto Marina & Benalmádena Costa and beachfront 4-6 weeks across June-August) and Easter (the Pueblo white village 1-2 weeks). 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 (Benalmádena is our home city; Maarten or his deputy is on the ground), a monthly statement that ties out, and an honest no when we're not the right manager for your block. Building-vote dynamics in Benalmádena vary by urbanisation; we read the comunidad minutes before saying yes.
Benalmádena is our home city; the Glaser office sits in Arroyo de la Miel, planta 1, local 57. We actively manage here alongside Fuengirola and Mijas (our daily operational triangle), and we also manage in Marbella, 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 team. Outside the Costa del Sol; we don't operate there and we'll say so.
Yes — at the discovery call. Benalmádena is our home city and our densest data set; we share comparable figures across the three sub-markets separately; Puerto Marina & Benalmádena Costa apartments, Costa beachfront, and Pueblo white village. Mixing those three would distort the picture, so we keep them apart. Real numbers, real dates.
We onboard at handover or within three months of keys. Before that we can advise on Benalmádena-specific rental-readiness; particularly which Costa apartment buildings have a clean 3/5 community-vote position and which villa urbanisations near the Pueblo have changed character recently. Formal management starts when the keys are in your hand.
Airbnb, Booking.com, VRBO and more. Benalmádena's mixed audience; Puerto Marina & Benalmádena Costa nightlife guests, Costa beach families, Pueblo culture-stay travellers; means we list across all major platforms and tune the channel mix per property. Direct bookings come through this site and the Costa del Sol umbrella.
Different sub-markets, different low-season patterns. Costa-Benalmádena's beachfront stays steady year-round thanks to Northern European long-stay retirees. Puerto Marina & Benalmádena Costa dips in winter but recovers strongly Easter-to-October. Pueblo's shoulder seasons (April-May, September-October) are often the strongest weeks. We pick the mix per property; there isn't one Benalmádena 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.
Yes, the 3/5 community-of-owners rule applies in Benalmádena, as it does across Andalucía under the April 2025 amendment to the Ley de Propiedad Horizontal; a three-fifths majority vote is required in community buildings before any new VUT licence can be granted. Existing licences from before April 2025 are grandfathered. Benalmádena's enforcement is moderate compared to Mijas or Marbella, but vote positions vary block-by-block. We read each comunidad's meeting minutes for every property we consider managing before recommending short-let as the operational plan.
No longer. The NRUA (Número de Registro Único de Alquiler) was the national rental register created by Royal Decree 1312/2024 and required from 1 July 2025, but the Spanish Supreme Court annulled it in May 2026, holding that the State lacked the competence to create it. It is no longer required. Booking platforms must still verify a valid registration number, and in Andalucía that number is your VUT — the regional tourist-let licence issued by the Junta de Andalucía under Decreto 31/2024. We handle the VUT registration end-to-end at onboarding; it's part of the management package, not charged separately.
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 Benalmádena. The system requires guest passport details and stay dates; everything is logged and we keep records for the legal retention period.
Glaser's Benalmádena 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 Benalmádena 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 · and monthly owner statements with platform fees broken out. We also prepare and file the annual Modelo N2 declaration with the Junta de Andalucía each February. Photography, professional towel and linen sets, and the N2 filing itself are quoted separately at onboarding rather than bundled into the management fee.
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.
