Malibu Benalmádena | Beachfront Tourist Asset

Investing on the beachfront in Benalmádena takes on a distinctly business-oriented approach with Malibu. This asset combines Mediterranean-front real estate ownership, four tourist accommodation units and an approximate annual operating profit of €150,000, according to information provided by the property owner.

The asset is located on the first floor of the Malibu building in La Cala de la Higuera, Benalmádena, in a position directly connected to the coastline. Its location provides exposure to one of the Costa del Sol’s most established tourism markets, making it particularly relevant for buyers who prioritise income generation and professional management.

The property offers 205.24 m² of built area, arranged as four independent tourist accommodation units. Three have two bedrooms, while the fourth has one bedroom. Each unit includes an open-plan living and dining area with integrated kitchen and a full bathroom. The registered maximum capacity for the entire property is 14 guests.

What truly defines this investment, however, is its legal and operational structure. According to the Land Registry, the property is designated for tourist use and forms part of a tourist operating unit. The entire asset must be managed by a single operating company under the applicable regulatory framework, meaning it should not be assessed as a conventional residential apartment with a holiday-rental licence.

From an investment perspective, Malibu offers an important advantage: its value proposition is not based solely on projected future rental income. It is an operating tourist asset currently generating approximately €150,000 per year in operating profit.

To properly evaluate the acquisition, the purchase price should be analysed alongside the operating accounts, running costs, management agreement, remaining contract term, responsibilities of each party and the resulting net return for the owner.
