🇪🇸Investment Guide · Ibiza, Costa del Sol & Mallorca
Spain combines 320 sunny days, world-class infrastructure, and one of Europe's most welcoming residency regimes for high-net-worth international buyers.
Why Invest
Spain hosts 85 M+ international tourists annually — second only to France. Ibiza, Marbella and Mallorca see double-digit short-term rental occupancy from May to October, with prime villas commanding €15,000–€80,000/week in peak season.
After the post-2008 correction, Spanish prime markets have re-priced and grown 5–7 % annually since 2018. Coastal premium segments outperform inland averages by a wide margin.
World-class marinas, Michelin restaurants, and one of Europe's most extensive golf circuits make Spain a magnet for European, British and American buyers seeking a Mediterranean base.
Tax & Legal Framework
A high-level overview — always consult a qualified tax advisor before structuring a purchase. We work with trusted partners across each jurisdiction.
Newly-arrived workers can elect to be taxed as non-residents for 6 years — a flat 24 % income tax rate up to €600,000, no worldwide income reporting, and no wealth tax outside Spain. Ideal for executives relocating to Madrid or Barcelona.
Non-resident owners pay 19 % on rental income (EU/EEA residents) or 24 % (non-EU). Allowable deductions include maintenance, mortgage interest, IBI, community fees, and depreciation — substantially reducing the effective rate.
IBI (annual property tax) is typically 0.4–1.1 % of cadastral value. Capital gains tax is 19–26 %, with exemptions for primary residence reinvestment and for sellers over 65.
Hidden Perks
Spain ranks 7th globally in healthcare quality (Bloomberg). Public healthcare is universal for residents, and private cover from companies like Sanitas or Adeslas costs €60–€150/month — a fraction of US or UK private equivalents.
A little-known fact: Ibiza's winter community is thriving — yoga retreats, organic farms, and a creative population of designers and entrepreneurs make it a year-round home, not just a summer destination.
Madrid-Barajas and Barcelona-El Prat connect to virtually every major global hub. Even Ibiza and Palma maintain direct year-round flights to London, Berlin, Zurich and Amsterdam.
