Alhaurín de la Torre is the closest of the inland Costa del Sol towns to Málaga and the airport — twelve minutes from arrivals, fifteen from Málaga city centre, twenty-five from coastal Costa del Sol. The largest inland VUT volume in our coverage area: 372 registered properties totalling 2,300 bed-places. The market here is unusual on the inland Costa del Sol — strong commuter and school-driven demand running year-round, mid-stay rental viability for relocating families, and a real short-let layer that the more rural inland towns can't match.
Alhaurín de la Torre has 372 registered VUT properties — the largest inland VUT volume in our coverage area — and is twelve kilometres from Málaga airport. The market here is unusual on inland Costa del Sol: real short-let viability for summer family weeks, mid-stay rental (1-3 month bookings) for relocating professionals and frequent travellers, plus a long-stay base. Glaser's Alhaurín de la Torre property management service covers VUT licensing under the standard Junta de Andalucía regime (not affected by the Málaga moratorium, despite the airport proximity to Málaga city), NRUA registration under Royal Decree 1312/2024, comunidad-vote checks under the April 2025 LPH amendment (essential here given building density), multi-portal listing on Airbnb, Booking.com, VRBO and mid-stay platforms (Spotahome, Blueground-style), dynamic pricing on Alhaurín de la Torre comparables, in-person guest check-in, 24-hour multilingual support, monthly statements, and annual N2 filing. Whether you've been searching for a Alhaurín de la Torre property manager, a Alhaurín de la Torre Airbnb manager, a mid-stay rental manager, or a vacation rental management company near Málaga airport — that's what we do.
A short conversation with Maarten and José about how we work — from our office in Arroyo de la Miel.
Alhaurín de la Torre is structurally different from the rest of inland Málaga because of one factor: it's twelve kilometres from the airport and fifteen from Málaga city. That changes the rental market completely. Where Coín and Alhaurín el Grande lean long-stay-only, Alhaurín de la Torre has a real mid-stay (1-3 month) rental layer driven by relocating professionals, frequent travellers, and families inspecting Costa del Sol life before committing. Plus the largest inland VUT volume of any inland Málaga town — 372 properties is real scale. Glaser's service here is shaped around that operational reality.
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.

Glaser Group is run by Maarten Glaser from an office in Arroyo de la Miel, Benalmádena. Dutch by birth, Costa del Sol by choice. Glaser Real Estate (the brokerage side) was founded in 2019; the rental management division — Glaser Holiday Homes SL — manages short-let, mid-stay and long-stay properties across the coast and inland Guadalhorce valley. GIPE and CEPI accredited via Glaser Real Estate.
Maarten works Alhaurín de la Torre regularly — it's the inland town with the most operational similarity to coastal Costa del Sol towns thanks to the airport proximity. Glaser's service approach here looks similar to the coastal cluster: dynamic pricing, multi-portal distribution, professional photography. The differentiating layer is the mid-stay rental capability for relocating professionals — a market segment that doesn't exist in rural inland or pure-tourist coastal towns.
Every Alhaurín de la Torre 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 we work the inland Guadalhorce valley deliberately — not as an afterthought to coastal.
"If we wouldn't recommend a property to a friend, we don't take it on."
Every Alhaurín de la Torre owner gets a senior team member as their direct contact. The mid-stay rental layer that's specific to Alhaurín de la Torre (relocating professionals, frequent travellers) needs continuity — guests on a 60-day stay don't want to be handed between three different account managers. Same voice from discovery to year-end.
Alhaurín de la Torre statements work differently from coastal short-let. Mid-stay rental income, summer short-let weeks, and any long-stay component all read separately on the statement. Every line itemised. Year-round occupancy patterns visible in ways that pure-tourist coastal towns can't deliver.
Junta de Andalucía VUT through the Málaga delegation, NRUA registration, N2 annual filing. The Alhaurín de la Torre-specific layer: with 372 VUTs already issued in the municipality, comunidad-vote dynamics under the April 2025 LPH amendment matter materially. We read the comunidad minutes for every property we onboard before recommending short-let. Plus the standard DAFO/water-rights checks where rural fincas apply.
Dutch, English, Spanish, German across the team. Alhaurín de la Torre's mid-stay guests are frequently relocating Northern European professionals; long-stay guests are often British semi-residents. Multi-language coverage matters across stays that can run multiple weeks. Real human reachable around the clock.
Alhaurín de la Torre is opening for owners who want professionally managed mid-stay and short-let income from one of the largest inland VUT markets on the Costa del Sol. We don't take everything that walks in — we say no where comunidad rules, property condition, or owner expectations don't fit, with the reason given.
From the first photo to the last guest check-out. Everything you'd expect — and the regulatory work most managers charge extra for.
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.
We're opening for select Alhaurín de la Torre properties now. We'd rather start with the right owners than fill a portfolio with whatever comes in. Share what you have and we'll come back honestly within four hours about whether we can help.
Very good value for money. Quick host service. Highlight the terrace.
José is very welcoming, responsive and available. The accommodation is located in a very quiet residence, away from the hustle and bustle of the city centre and it is very pleasant. A car is required. I recommend it without hesitating.
My experience in this house has been wonderful. It met all my needs and I felt very comfortable. It exceeded my expectations.
Everything in the apartment was new and clean. There was everything you needed. The apartment was really cosy and comfortable, with great views outside. Communication with the accommodation was really smooth and they wanted to make sure we really enjoyed ourselves and had everything we needed. A lovely peaceful location. A very successful holiday.
Nice stay with good facilities. Good and quick review of the place when we arrived. Everything worked perfectly. Can be recommended to others.
Every holiday rental on the Costa del Sol needs two licences: the Andalucian VUT (Vivienda con Fines Turísticos) and the national NRUA number (Royal Decree 1312/2024, mandatory from July 2025).
Both the VUT and the NRUA must be registered in the name of the rental management company, not the individual owner — which means the 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 LPH amendment. Existing licences from before that date are grandfathered.
In Alhaurín de la Torre specifically: the municipality is not affected by the Málaga moratorium (separate municipality, despite the airport proximity to Málaga city). With 372 VUTs already issued, building-level comunidad-vote dynamics matter materially. We read the comunidad minutes for every property before any contract is signed. Our team files every N2 declaration in person at the Málaga Junta delegation each February.
Full VUT licence guide →Genuine local knowledge isn't a marketing line — it's the small operational details that compound into better guest reviews and steadier annual yield. A few specifics our team works with day-to-day:
Detached villas with private pools. Strongest summer family-week short-let belt in town. Comunidad-vote dynamics moderate.
Modern townhouses, semi-detached villas with shared community pools. Best stock for mid-stay relocating-professional rentals.
Hillside positions with valley views toward Málaga. Detached villas, larger plots. Strong for long-stay and short-let summer weeks.
Apartments and townhouses within walking distance of schools, the medical centre and daily commerce. Best stock for mid-stay families inspecting Costa del Sol life.
Alhaurín de la Torre is one piece of the wider Glaser Group rental management network across the Costa del Sol. We also actively manage Benalmádena rental management and Fuengirola rental management and Mijas rental management, and our Costa del Sol umbrella site connects you to every city team.
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 Alhaurín de la Torre management packages — each pairs a commitment length with a different balance of flexibility. We walk you through the options at the discovery call. Inland operational economics are different from coastal short-let — fewer-but-longer bookings, lower turnover frequency, different platform mix — and the package structure reflects that.
Yes — owner-use blocks are standard. In Alhaurín de la Torre the typical owner pattern combines a mid-stay layer (relocating professionals, frequent-traveller executives) with summer family short-let and a small long-stay layer. We block owner-use windows ahead of listings going live; reasonable owner usage is built into every Glaser management agreement.
Materially different. Coastal towns run on summer-dominant short-let — high turnover, premium peak-week rates, low winter occupancy. Alhaurín de la Torre runs differently. Alhaurín de la Torre is structurally different from rural inland — airport proximity (12 km) and Málaga-city access (15 km) drive a real mid-stay (1-3 month) layer that keeps occupancy steady year-round. The mix runs roughly 40% long-stay, 30% mid-stay, 30% short-let across our coverage. Summer is busiest for short-let; mid-stay is strongest October-May (relocating professionals, frequent travellers, families inspecting Costa del Sol life). There isn't one low season.
At the discovery call we share what comparables exist — Alhaurín de la Torre VUT-registered property count is 372 per Junta de Andalucía data, with roughly 2,300 bed-places between them. We're explicit about which figures come from our operational data and which are directional from the broader inland market. We don't fabricate numbers; if we don't have specifics for your property type and location, we say so.
We're opening for Alhaurín de la Torre owners with a shorter onboarding queue. We actively manage in Benalmádena (our home city), Fuengirola and Mijas — our daily operational triangle. We also operate in Marbella, Málaga, Torremolinos, Estepona, Alhaurín de la Torre, plus the wider inland Guadalhorce valley (Coín, Alhaurín el Grande, Alhaurín de la Torre). If your property is in any of those, we'll route you to the right Glaser Group team.
Airbnb, Booking.com, VRBO for short-let, plus Spotahome, Blueground-style and long-stay-rental platforms for the mid-stay layer that's specific to Alhaurín de la Torre. Direct bookings come through this site. The mid-stay platforms are essential here — they don't matter in pure-tourist coastal towns but they're a real revenue source for owners 12 km from Málaga airport.

The Junta de Andalucía declaración responsable typically processes in 1-5 working days for straightforward cases. The same Andalusian regional process under Decreto 31/2024 applies in Alhaurín de la Torre. The licence step itself is rarely the bottleneck — what takes time on inland properties is the upstream check (DAFO status for rural fincas, comunidad-status review for centro stock, water-rights and access verification where applicable).
Alhaurín de la Torre operates under the standard Junta de Andalucía VUT regime — not affected by the Málaga moratorium (separate municipality, despite the geographic proximity). The April 2025 LPH amendment (3/5 community vote) applies; with 372 VUTs already issued in Alhaurín de la Torre, building-level vote dynamics matter and we read the comunidad minutes for every property we onboard. Existing licences from before April 2025 are grandfathered.
Yes — every short-term rental property in Spain must be registered in the NRUA (Número de Registro Único de Alquiler), the national rental register created by Royal Decree 1312/2024. Registration has been mandatory since July 2025. Without an NRUA number, Airbnb, Booking.com and other platforms now block listings. We handle the NRUA registration alongside your VUT licence 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. Failure to register guests is one of the most common causes of municipal fines for self-managed properties. The system requires guest passport details and stay dates; everything is logged and we keep records for the legal retention period.
Alhaurín de la Torre stock divides across Pinos de Alhaurín family villas, El Romeral newer-build townhouses, Taralpe hillside positions, and Zapata town-centre apartments. Each behaves differently for rental — we calibrate per property at onboarding.
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 handled as part of the annual operational cycle. For non-Spanish-resident owners, we also flag the Modelo 210 quarterly non-resident income tax requirement and route you to a Spanish gestor if you don't already have one.
Most rental managers on the Costa del Sol are coastal businesses bolted on to inland by accident. We work the inland Guadalhorce valley deliberately. In Alhaurín de la Torre the operational rhythm is different from coastal — long-stay-leaning calendars, larger properties, different platform mix, DAFO-heavy older stock, and a buyer/owner community that overwhelmingly comes from referrals not online searches. We've built our service around what inland actually rewards rather than copy-pasting our coastal playbook.
