Perched on the southern region of Spain is the narrow coastal strip of Costa del Sol — a quaint seaside charmer embracing long stretches of sandy beach, cliffs, and dunes.

On balmy days, you may wander through the winding alleys of Marbella Old Town to get sight of white-painted residences fitted with terracotta-tiled roofs and little iron-fenced balconies. Boasting year-long sunshine, Costa del Sol is the home base for exploring many pristine beaches such as Burriana Beach, Cristo Beach, and La Cala beach. If you have a soft spot for historic landmarks and monuments, visit Cathedral of Málaga and Sohail Castle to better understand the Spanish municipality’s history and culture.

To cover all these attractions, you surely need to embark on a long-term trip. For that, it is essential to find accommodation that’s suitable for extended stays. Keep reading for the best long-term rentals in Costa del Sol, Spain.

We handpicked these listings carefully, considering (wherever possible) host status, recent guest reviews, location, accommodation type, prices, decor, availability of dates, and long-term stay rules and regulations. The image galleries get refreshed with the latest updates regularly. They were last updated on September 01, 2025.
