The Spanish property market remains one of Europe's most popular investment markets in 2026 as well. With savings rates staying low and investors increasingly looking for stable international investments, interest in Spanish property among Dutch investors is growing fast.
Recent market developments show that demand for property in popular coastal areas in particular keeps rising. Regions such as the Costa del Sol, the Costa Blanca and parts of Alicante remain popular thanks to the climate, tourism, international infrastructure and a strong rental market.
At Jansen & Brouwer Property Capital we see more and more investors choosing property in Spain as a combination of return, wealth building and international diversification.
Why do investors choose Spain?
Spain offers several advantages for international property investors:
- Strong demand for holiday letting
- Large international property market
- More than 300 sunny days a year in popular regions
- Attractive combination of rental income and capital growth
- Modern new build developments with high letting potential
Spain also keeps breaking tourism records. That creates lasting demand for holiday accommodation and property in popular locations.
The growth in foreign investors
Foreign demand for Spanish property continues to grow strongly. Investors from the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany and Scandinavia in particular are active in the Spanish market.
More and more investors are looking for opportunities outside the Netherlands because of:
- Higher property prices at home
- More regulation around letting
- Limited returns on traditional investments
- The wish to build up wealth internationally
As a result, Spain is increasingly seen as a strategic property market for long-term investment.
New build remains popular
New build developments remain one of the most popular choices among foreign investors.
This is due, among other things, to:
- Modern finishes
- Energiezuinige homes
- Low maintenance costs
- Good letting potential
- Luxury facilities such as swimming pools, gyms and security
In addition, supply in prime locations is limited in some regions, which according to market analysts may contribute to further price rises in the coming years.
Rental and returns
Many investors choose Spanish property because of the opportunity to build passive income through letting.
In tourist regions in particular, demand for holiday letting remains high. Depending on the location, occupancy rate and type of property, investors can achieve attractive returns.
Location plays a major role in this. Properties close to beaches, golf resorts, airports and popular town centres generally remain the most sought after.
The importance of professional guidance
A property investment abroad calls for good preparation and guidance.
Important elements of the buying process include:
- Legal checks
- Contract guidance
- Financial structuring
- Due diligence
- Rental management
- Notarial completion
At Jansen & Brouwer Property Capital we guide investors through the entire process. From project selection to purchase guidance and support after the purchase.
Is 2026 a good time to invest?
Many market analysts expect demand for property in popular Spanish regions to remain high. Thanks to the combination of international demand, tourism and limited availability in prime locations, the Spanish property market remains attractive to long-term investors.
As with any investment, a sound strategy remains essential. The right location, the right development and professional guidance can make a big difference to the eventual return.
Conclusion
In 2026 Spanish property remains an attractive market for investors looking for international opportunities, rental income and long-term capital growth.
With the right approach, investors can benefit from both capital growth and passive income.
