Glaser manages short-term rentals across Alhaurín de la Torre — modern villas and new-build family homes across the municipality, premium-residential villa stock, gated-urbanisation apartments, and homes around the casco and Iglesia de San Sebastián. Ten minutes from Málaga airport, fifteen from Málaga city, with the Polígono Industrial on its doorstep. Built for owners who want the airport-corridor business-travel, modern-family weekend and Málaga-city-overflow audiences worked together. Airbnb, Booking.com and VRBO, in-person check-in, 24/7 multilingual support, full back-office: VUT and NRUA, cleaning, maintenance, monthly statements, annual N2 filing.
Glaser runs short-term rentals across the Alhaurín de la Torre municipal area — different town from Alhaurín el Grande despite the name, very different commercial reality. Population around 42,000, growing fast on Málaga-city overflow, dominated by modern new-builds and gated urbanisations — premium-residential villas on the higher ground, new-build family homes filling the modern-suburb middle, apartment stock around the airport corridor — with a working casco around Plaza de la Iglesia and Iglesia de San Sebastián and a sizeable Polígono Industrial on the airport side. The result is the only Costa del Sol municipality where seasonality genuinely flattens — airport-corridor business-let demand, modern-family weekend rentals, Málaga-city overflow and corporate stays keep occupancy steady year-round. We handle VUT licensing through the Junta de Andalucía (the municipality is not affected by the Málaga capital saturation cap), NRUA under Royal Decree 1312/2024, comunidad-vote checks under the April 2025 LPH amendment (critical here because gated-urbanisation and apartment stock dominates), multi-portal listing on Airbnb, Booking.com and VRBO, pricing tuned to Alhaurín de la Torre comparables and the corporate-let market, in-person check-in, 24-hour multilingual support, cleaning, maintenance, monthly statements, and the annual N2 each February.
A short conversation with Maarten and José about how we work — from our office in Arroyo de la Miel.
Short-term rental and property management for the airport-corridor — modern villas across the municipality, new-build family homes in the gated urbanisations, apartments off Plaza de la Iglesia. Listings, pricing, guest support and the full back-office under one roof.
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 — roughly fifteen minutes from Alhaurín de la Torre on the MA-3404. 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 — runs short-let, mid-stay and long-stay properties across the coastal strip and inland into the Guadalhorce valley. Alhaurín de la Torre is the airport-corridor anchor of the inland network. GIPE and CEPI accredited via Glaser Real Estate.
Alhaurín de la Torre is the inland town nobody quite categorises. It isn\'t pueblo blanco (Coín and Alhaurín el Grande hold that). It isn\'t coast. It isn\'t Málaga city. It is the corridor between airport and capital — modern, residential, growing, Spanish-family-dominated, and uniquely flat in its seasonality because business travel, corporate lets, and Málaga-city overflow keep the calendar full when coastal short-let collapses. We design listings, pricing and operations around that — not around a "rural inland" template that doesn\'t fit.
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. Family-run, hands-on, and built for owners who want the airport-corridor business travel, corporate-let, modern-family weekend and Málaga-city-overflow audiences worked properly — instead of being sold a coastal-leisure playbook that doesn\'t actually apply here.
"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. Corporate-let and longer-stay business audiences want a single human to escalate to when the WiFi drops on a Monday morning. We do not run a contact-centre model and we never will.
Itemised monthly statement for every Alhaurín de la Torre property — gross rental, corporate-let revenue separated from leisure short-let where relevant, comunidad fees (a large item on gated-urbanisation and apartment stock here), platform commission, cleaning and management fee all shown separately. Year-end summary in January for the Spanish tax year.
Junta de Andalucía VUT through the Málaga delegation, NRUA registration under Royal Decree 1312/2024, N2 annual filing, SES.HOSPEDAJES guest registration. We also read the comunidad minutes for apartment properties before any contract — the April 2025 LPH amendment matters and we surface the building's position upfront.
Dutch, English, Spanish, German across the team. Alhaurín de la Torre\'s guest mix skews much more Spanish-domestic than its inland neighbours — corporate travellers, Málaga-city overflow families, weekend visitors — so Spanish-first guest comms matters more here than on most coastal sites. Every message goes to a real human reachable around the clock.
We open for Alhaurín de la Torre owners who want one hands-on manager working the airport-corridor business audience, the modern-family weekend market and the Málaga-overflow corporate-let demand together. We say no when the fit isn\'t right (a property positioned exclusively for leisure short-let in a town that pays the bills on business travel) — 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 a small set of Alhaurín de la Torre properties — modern villas across the municipality, premium-residential homes on the higher ground, new-build family homes in the gated urbanisations, and apartments around the casco and Iglesia de San Sebastián. The right Alhaurín de la Torre owner is someone who sees the town for what it actually is — airport-corridor, modern, residential, Spanish-family-led, no real off-season — and wants a manager who works the business-travel, corporate-let, weekend-family and Málaga-overflow audiences together, instead of pretending the town is a pueblo-rural-leisure market. Tell us what you have and we\'ll come back honestly within four working hours.
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 de Uso Turístico) 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 capital saturation cap, despite sitting right next door. The Junta de Andalucía registration is open. The friction sits at the comunidad level — Alhaurín de la Torre stock is dominated by apartment blocks and gated urbanisations, all of which fall under the April 2025 LPH amendment requiring a 3/5 vote for new licences. With 372 VUTs already issued, several buildings have already taken a position and we read the minutes for every property before any contract is signed. We file every N2 declaration in person at the Málaga Junta delegation each February.
Full VUT licence guide →Short-term rental and property management isn't a single task — it's a stack of small, repeated operations that have to land right every time. A few specifics our team works with day-to-day:
Airbnb, Booking.com, VRBO and direct kept in sync. PriceLabs tuned to Alhaurín de la Torre: mid-week corporate-let premiums, weekend-family blocks for the new-build family stock, summer family-week pricing — no shoulder-season collapse because airport-corridor demand is year-round.
In-person check-in for every arrival — business travellers landing late at Málaga airport, weekend families up from Málaga city, corporate guests starting Monday morning. Multilingual support in Dutch, English, Spanish and German with strong Spanish-first comms because the guest mix here is more domestic than coastal stock.
Vetted Alhaurín de la Torre-based cleaning and linen teams. High Monday-arrival cadence on corporate-let stock means a tighter turnover schedule than other inland towns. Smart-home reset (WiFi, aircon, hob) baked into every turnover for the modern new-builds.
VUT through the Junta de Andalucía Málaga delegation, NRUA under Royal Decree 1312/2024, SES.HOSPEDAJES within 24h of each check-in, annual N2 in February. Comunidad-minute checks under the April 2025 LPH amendment on every apartment and gated-urbanisation onboarding — non-negotiable in this town.
Weekly notes from the team — regulation, market dynamics, how things actually work.
Alhaurín de la Torre sits as the airport-corridor anchor of the Glaser Group network. Owners with a corporate-let villa here and a coastal apartment can run both through one team. We manage inland alongside Coín rental management and Alhaurín el Grande rental management, and on the coast across Benalmádena rental management, Torremolinos rental management, Mijas rental management, Fuengirola rental management, Marbella rental management, Benahavís rental management and Málaga rental management. The Costa del Sol umbrella site connects 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 and service depth. Alhaurín de la Torre runs on a different model than its inland neighbours: airport-corridor business travel, modern-family weekend rentals from Málaga city, year-round occupancy because there is no real off-season here. The package structure reflects that — we walk through the options at the discovery call rather than quote a single rate.
Yes — owner-use blocks are standard. Alhaurín de la Torre owners often block their own July and August family weeks, plus Semana Santa and the Feria de San Sebastián in January. We block those before listings go live so guest bookings never collide.
Everything from the listing to the lockbox: multi-portal distribution on Airbnb, Booking.com and VRBO with corporate-let channel weighting where applicable, dynamic pricing through PriceLabs, professional photography (premium-residential villas shot clean and corporate-friendly, new-build family stock framed as the weekend escape it actually is), in-person guest check-in, 24/7 multilingual support, smart-home reset between guests, cleaning and linen, comunidad-minute checks under the April 2025 LPH amendment, monthly itemised statements, and the full regulatory stack — VUT, NRUA, SES.HOSPEDAJES, annual N2.
At the discovery call we share what we have on Alhaurín de la Torre comparables — 372 VUT-registered properties in the municipality per Junta de Andalucía data, with roughly 2,300 bed-places between them. That's a meaningful sample for an inland town. Corporate-let stock, modern-family new-builds and casco apartments behave very differently on yield, so we segment by sub-area rather than quoting a single occupancy figure. We don't fabricate.
Alhaurín de la Torre is the airport-corridor anchor of the inland network — different from Alhaurín el Grande (different town, different commercial reality, more pueblo-blanco and golf-led) and different from Coín (rural, snowbird-led). If your property is in any of those neighbouring municipalities, the same team can handle it but with a different operational playbook. Coastal stock from Benalmádena through Estepona runs out of the same Arroyo de la Miel office.
Airbnb, Booking.com and VRBO, plus our direct-booking channel. The Alhaurín de la Torre mix tilts towards Booking.com and direct for corporate-let stock (business travellers default there), Airbnb for the weekend-family audience, VRBO for longer-stay project bookings near the Polígono Industrial and Málaga TechPark. With Málaga airport ten minutes away, demand is steady year-round.
There is no high or low quarter to wait for. The airport-corridor occupancy stays steady through autumn, winter and spring on business travel, corporate lets and Málaga-city overflow; summer adds family short-let on top. Onboarding takes 10–14 days from first call to first guest — the comunidad-minute check on apartments and gated urbanisations occasionally adds a few days where the building hasn't voted yet.
For straightforward cases (modern villa with clean paperwork, new-build apartment with a clean comunidad position) the Junta de Andalucía declaración responsable processes in 1–5 working days under Decreto 31/2024. The bottleneck on Alhaurín de la Torre stock is consistently comunidad-status — apartment blocks and gated urbanisations are the dominant property type here, and the April 2025 LPH amendment matters at every onboarding.
Alhaurín de la Torre is not affected by the Málaga capital saturation cap despite sitting right next to it. The April 2025 LPH amendment (3/5 community vote for new licences) does apply, and matters more in Alhaurín de la Torre than in most of the network — because apartment blocks and gated urbanisations dominate the stock. With 372 VUTs already issued, several buildings have taken positions and we read the minutes for every property before any contract. Pre-April-2025 licences 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, mandatory since July 2025. Without an NRUA number, Airbnb, Booking.com and VRBO block listings. We register every Alhaurín de la Torre property in the NRUA alongside the VUT at onboarding — included, not charged separately.
Owner statements are issued in the first week of each month for the previous month's reservations. Each statement breaks out corporate-let revenue separately from leisure short-let where applicable, plus platform commission, comunidad fees (a large item on urbanisation stock here), cleaning, maintenance and management fee. Bank transfers go out the same day. Year-end summaries in January for the Spanish tax year.
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. This is especially important for corporate-let properties here, where guests turn over frequently and the per-stay paperwork volume is higher than a coastal leisure block. We handle SES.HOSPEDAJES automatically off the check-in form for every Glaser-managed property.
Modern villas across the municipality, premium-residential homes on the higher ground, new-build family stock inside gated urbanisations, apartments around Plaza de la Iglesia and Iglesia de San Sebastián, larger-plot homes scattered across the municipality. The single hard filter is comunidad-status — apartment and urbanisation onboardings only proceed where the building's position permits new VUT licences.
Yes — every VUT property files the Modelo N2 declaration with the Junta de Andalucía each February for the previous year. We file in person at the Málaga delegation. For non-Spanish-resident owners we also flag the Modelo 210 annual non-resident income tax requirement and route you to a Spanish gestor — relevant for the smaller cohort of Northern-European Alhaurín de la Torre owners (the resident demographic here skews much more Spanish than the rest of the network).
Alhaurín de la Torre is not pueblo blanco. It is not the coast. It is not Málaga city. It is the airport-corridor town with its own commercial dynamic — business travel, corporate lets, Málaga-city overflow, modern-family weekends, no real off-season — and the operators who do it well design around that. Glaser runs short-term rental and property management as the main business: Airbnb, Booking.com and VRBO listings, dynamic pricing on local comparables, multilingual guest support, the full licensing and tax back-office. Family-run, on the Costa del Sol since 2019, GIPE and CEPI accredited via Glaser Real Estate, single office in Arroyo de la Miel.
