- Dubai is a unique destination, a magnet for investors
Dubai is not just luxury and modernity; it’s a city in constant growth and an ideal destination for real estate investors. From the majestic Burj Khalifa to the iconic Palm Jumeirah islands, Dubai offers a cosmopolitan environment that attracts both residents and tourists. In addition, with its thriving economy and high quality of life, Dubai remains an irresistible option for those seeking profitability and stability.

- Profitability: Reality or myth?
One of the most frequently asked questions is whether Dubai truly offers high returns. The answer is yes. Depending on location and timing, investors can achieve rental yields between 6% and 10%, with capital gains of up to 50% in 3-5 years. The growing demand for rentals in Dubai ensures a quick recovery of investment, making it one of the most profitable cities in the world.

- Attractive taxation and its implications for Spanish tax residents
In the UAE, there are no income or capital gains taxes, meaning 100% of your rental income and capital gains is yours. However, if you are a tax resident in Spain, you must comply with certain tax obligations, such as declaring your assets through Modelo 720. While this does not reduce the advantages of investing in Dubai, it’s essential to be informed.

- Real estate projects for every budget
Dubai offers more than 150 off-plan real estate projects, tailored to all kinds of budgets. From affordable properties in Jumeirah Village Circle to luxury villas in Palm Jumeirah, there’s always an option that fits your needs. Additionally, flexible payment plans make investing easier and more profitable.

- Foreign property law and investor protection
Dubai’s Foreign Property Law guarantees the security of foreign investors by establishing freehold zones, where you can acquire properties with full ownership. Additionally, funds are managed through escrow accounts, ensuring that payments are used exclusively for the designated project.

- Attractive payment and financing options
One of the biggest draws of investing in Dubai is the payment flexibility offered by developers. Many projects allow you to pay up to 50% during construction and the remaining 50% upon delivery, maximising your financial liquidity. Additionally, in partnership with Lion Mortgage, we offer mortgage financing even for non-residents, with exclusive terms for our clients.

- Is this the right time to invest?
Finally, the question every investor asks: is now a good time to invest in Dubai? According to the UBS Real Estate Bubble Index, Dubai is classified as a fairly valued city, meaning there is no immediate risk of a property bubble. Additionally, with an average of 15 years to recover your investment through rentals, Dubai offers 40% higher profitability compared to cities like Madrid.
