Luxury rentals in Marbella: Drumelia’s service for owners, buyers, investors and tenants
By Inés Fernández Ponferrada · 9m. reading time
Drumelia has been a trusted name in luxury real estate on the Costa del Sol for more than 20 years. Our clients know us for buying and selling in Marbella, Estepona, Benahavís and Sotogrande. We now bring the same standard to luxury rentals in Marbella and along the Costa del Sol.
A rental works well only when it works for both sides: the owner who trusts us with their home, and the tenant who chooses to live in it. That is why we have built our service around both.
The Drumelia standard
Whether you own a property or are looking for your next home, you benefit from the same foundations:
- Local expertise. Deep knowledge of the areas, developments and market trends across this part of the coast.
- Legal security. Our in-house lawyer ensures every rental agreement is clear, fair and properly structured.
- An international team. More than 30 professionals speaking over 18 languages, so every client is served in their own language.
For property owners: more options, more value
Owning a property on the Costa del Sol opens more than one path. Some owners want to sell, others prefer steady income, and many are unsure which option is best. Because Drumelia manages both sales and rentals, we assess your property from both angles and recommend the strategy that fits your goals, not the one that suits us best.
Sometimes the most profitable move is to sell now. Sometimes it makes sense to rent while waiting for the right buyer, or to hold the asset and generate recurring income.
Renting while you sell
Depending on the property and your objectives, renting can keep a home generating income while we look for the right buyer. The type and length of the tenancy matter: a long-term contract and a short-term or seasonal let have different implications for a future sale, while tourist rentals in Andalusia are subject to specific registration and regulatory requirements. Our in-house lawyer structures each agreement so that it fits your plans.
What you gain from one agency
- A single point of contact. The team that knows your property, its value and its history handles everything.
- Flexibility. If a sale takes longer than expected, your property can keep generating income.
- Protected value. A well-managed, well-maintained home keeps its appeal for a future sale.
- Professional marketing. Our in-house marketing team presents your property at the level the luxury market demands, to buyers and tenants alike.

For buyers and investors: consider rental potential before you buy
Buying on the Costa del Sol is both a personal and a financial decision. Some buyers want a primary residence, others a second home they can rent out when they are not using it, others a pure investment. In every case, one question is worth answering before signing: what return can this property generate?
Finding a good property is not enough
Because we also manage rentals, we know which properties are most in demand, what tenants value most, and which areas offer the strongest rental potential. That knowledge feeds directly into your search, so we help you identify not just the property you love, but the one that also makes sense as an investment.
What you gain by buying with Drumelia
- Advice informed by real rental demand and market activity, not generic assumptions.
- Investment criteria built into property selection: location, property type and demand profile.
- Continuity after purchase. If you decide to rent, the team that helped you buy can manage your property.
- Legal security from our in-house lawyer throughout the process.

For tenants: the right home, handled properly
Finding a quality rental on the Costa del Sol should not be a gamble. We offer a curated selection of properties that meet our standards, and our team helps you choose the area and home that best fit your lifestyle, whether you are relocating, staying for a season or trying the area before buying.
Beyond the properties published online, Drumelia has a private collection of more than 300 properties that are not publicly listed, at their owners' request.
From the first viewing to signing the contract, you have a dedicated point of contact who speaks your language and knows the local market. Our Exclusive Rentals Department works 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to support clients throughout their stay in Marbella. And if you decide the Costa del Sol is where you want to stay, the same team can help you find a property to buy.
Short-term and long-term rentals
Drumelia offers both. Depending on the property and your plans, we can help you find a home for a holiday or temporary stay, as well as properties for longer-term living. Explore properties currently available for rent with Drumelia.
