Glaser Group is based in Arroyo de la Miel, twenty minutes from coastal Mijas. Mijas rental management has been part of our work since 2018 — short-term Airbnb stays, vacation rentals, golf-belt lets, and the mountain-village shoulder market in Mijas Pueblo. Treated the way we’d want our own homes managed: carefully, in person, with the VUT paperwork handled. From La Cala and Riviera del Sol to El Faro and the pueblo.
If you own a holiday property in Mijas and want it professionally managed — short-term Airbnb rentals, vacation rental management, mid-stay or long-stay — Glaser handles every operational requirement Spanish municipal law and the booking platforms now demand. Our Mijas property management package covers VUT licensing through the Junta de Andalucía, NRUA registration under Royal Decree 1312/2024, multi-portal listing on Airbnb, Booking.com and VRBO, dynamic pricing on Mijas comparables, in-person guest check-in, 24-hour multilingual guest support, monthly owner statements, and the annual N2 filing. Whether you've been searching for a Mijas property manager, a Mijas Airbnb management company, or a Mijas vacation rental manager — that's what we do, day in and day out, from our Arroyo de la Miel office.
A short conversation with Maarten and José about how we work — from our office in Arroyo de la Miel.
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.
We manage holiday and vacation rentals across our Mijas neighbourhoods. Pick yours to see local short-term rental notes, occupancy rate patterns, and the VUT licences that apply.
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.
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.
I’m Maarten — Dutch, on the Costa del Sol since 2017. Glaser Group started in 2018 as a real estate business, run from our office in Arroyo de la Miel. Mijas is one of three cities where we actively manage holiday rentals.
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, GIPE and CEPI accredited.
“If we wouldn’t recommend a property to a friend, we don’t take it on.”
Every Mijas owner — coastal, pueblo or golf belt — gets a dedicated senior team member as their direct contact. Twenty minutes from the Arroyo de la Miel office to most Mijas properties. The same person at the discovery call is the same person on the December community-vote follow-up.
Mijas statements have to read across three sub-markets: coastal short-let, pueblo character properties, golf-belt year-round. The split is on the line: a La Cala summer peak, a Mijas Pueblo shoulder run, a Riviera del Sol golf winter. Owners see the rhythm of their own property.
Junta de Andalucía VUT through the Málaga delegation. NRUA registration. The annual N2 filing. Mijas municipality is among the strictest enforcers of the 3/5 community-vote rule on the coast — we verify community statutes before onboarding, every time, and that’s saved owners from buying into a building that would later vote prohibition.
Dutch, English, Spanish, German across the team. Mijas guest profile shifts by sub-market: La Cala beachfront leans family British and Scandinavian in summer, Mijas Pueblo pulls older European cultural travellers in shoulder months, the golf belt brings consistent European groups October through April.
Mijas is one of our active cities. But the strict community-vote enforcement means not every Mijas property has a viable VUT path. If your block is in one of the developments where the 3/5 has already been triggered, we’ll tell you at the walkthrough — not three months in.
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.
Selective by design. Every property below is managed by our Mijas team — professional photography, local pricing data, in-person check-in on every arrival.
Honestly, a beautiful location. Better than I expected — cosy and welcoming. You get real value for money. The stay radiates peace and charm, the view is amazing, and the host was extremely helpful. Rain, cloud or sunshine — the view was breathtaking every moment, each with its own charm. Everything is spotlessly clean and new. The owner has clearly put great care into cleanliness and comfort, which made the stay extra pleasant. I’ll definitely be coming back.
Apartment is very nice, just as described. The host team was extremely helpful and responsive.
Nice stay with good facilities. Good and quick review of the place when we arrived. Everything worked perfectly. Can be recommended to others.
Fabulous place. We stayed here for 4 weeks and were not disappointed. Fantastic location, lots of great restaurants and bars on the doorstep and a two-minute walk to the sandy beach. Brilliant and friendly hosts who responded immediately to any requests we had. Would definitely recommend. We will definitely be returning.
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.
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 reform of the Ley de Propiedad Horizontal (Ley Orgánica 1/2025). Some newer developments prohibit short-term rental entirely.
In Mijas specifically: the municipality enforces community-vote rules more strictly than most Costa del Sol councils, so we verify each community's rules before onboarding. La Cala de Mijas and Riviera del Sol blocks have established precedents for VUT approvals. Calahonda and the Mijas Costa golf belt follow the standard Junta procedure, while Mijas Pueblo's village-character properties are handled case-by-case. Our team files every N2 declaration with the Junta de Andalucía 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 higher annual yield. A few specifics our team works with day-to-day:
Beachfront here is the rental sweet spot. Front-line apartments rent year-round; second-line drops 25-35% in winter. We tell owners which is which honestly.
The mountain village — tourism gold but tricky logistics. Cars don’t fit the streets, so guest parking and luggage handling matter more than in coastal areas.
Golf-belt properties peak October–April, opposite to the coastal pattern. Owners who buy here for summer rental will be disappointed; those who buy for autumn-spring won’t.
Residential, walkable, less touristed. Long-stay winter market is genuine here — Northern European retirees like the everyday Spanish-town feel.
Weekly notes from the team — regulation, market dynamics, how things actually work.
Mijas is one of the central pillars of the Glaser Group rental management network on the Costa del Sol. We also actively manage Benalmádena rental management, Torremolinos 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.
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 Mijas management packages — each pairs a commitment length with a different balance of flexibility, and the right pick depends on whether you're running coastal short-let or golf-belt year-round. We walk you through the options at the discovery call so you pick by sub-market, not by guesswork.
Yes — owner-use blocks are standard. In Mijas the typical owner pattern splits two ways: golf-belt owners take 2-3 weeks in October-November, La Cala and Riviera del Sol coastal owners take 6-8 weeks across June-August. 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, a Mijas monthly statement that ties out, and an honest no when we're not the right manager for your block. Mijas community-vote rules mean we say no more often here than in some cities.
We actively manage in Mijas alongside Benalmádena (our home city) and Fuengirola — these three cities form our daily operational triangle from the Arroyo de la Miel office. We're opening for select owners in Marbella, Málaga, Torremolinos, Estepona and Benahavís with a shorter onboarding queue. If your property is in any of those eight, we'll route you to the right Glaser Group team. Properties outside the Costa del Sol — we don't operate there and we'll say so.
Yes — at the discovery call. We share comparable figures for similar Mijas units, separated by sub-market: La Cala coastal, Mijas Pueblo, golf-belt. 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 Mijas-specific rental-readiness — particularly which urbanisations have a clean 3/5 community-vote position and which are watching neighbours vote prohibition. Formal management starts when the keys are in your hand.
Airbnb, Booking.com, VRBO and more. Mijas's golf-belt audience leans heavily on direct-booking and repeat guest channels rather than first-time Airbnb finds; we lean into that. Direct bookings come through this site and the Costa del Sol umbrella.
Different sub-markets, different low-season patterns. Coastal Mijas is steadier than pure short-let towns thanks to Northern European long-stay. Mijas Pueblo's shoulder seasons are often its strongest — spring and autumn cultural travellers. Golf-belt is October-April. We pick the mix per property; there isn't one Mijas 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 in Mijas as elsewhere on the Costa del Sol. 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 Mijas, 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. We don't keep a city-wide registry of how each comunidad has voted — vote positions change and the only authoritative source is each comunidad's own meeting minutes. For every property we consider managing, we read those minutes to confirm the current position before recommending short-let as the operational plan.
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; 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 Mijas. The system requires guest passport details and stay dates; everything is logged and we keep records for the legal retention period.
Glaser's Mijas management package is end-to-end — operational services that Spanish municipal law and platform algorithms both require, all included in one fee. Specifically: VUT and NRUA licensing through the Junta de Andalucía · multi-portal listing on Airbnb, Booking.com, VRBO and more · dynamic pricing calibrated on Mijas 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 · monthly owner statements with platform fees broken out · and annual N2 filing each February. Photography, professional towel and linen sets, and the N2 filing itself are quoted separately 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 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.
