How Much Does Real Estate Photography Cost in Marbella? (2026 Guide)

If you're listing a property on the Costa del Sol — whether for sale, long-let or Airbnb — the single biggest question sellers and hosts ask us is: what does professional real estate photography actually cost in Marbella? Here's a straight answer, no gimmicks.

Typical price ranges in Marbella and the Costa del Sol

Across the Costa del Sol in 2026, expect to pay:

• Apartments (1–4 bed): €140 – €200
• Townhouses (2–4 bed): €180 – €220
• Villas (3–6 bed): €230 – €290
• Drone add-on: +€100
• Twilight (blue-hour) shoot: often included in villa packages
• Matterport 3D scan: €150 – €220 depending on size
• 2D floorplan: €35 – €44

Prices exclude 21% Spanish VAT. All rates include travel anywhere between Málaga and Estepona — shoots outside this zone are still possible with a small added travel fee, just ask. Bundle discounts are the norm — if you book photos + drone + 3D together you should always ask for a package rate.

What actually drives the price

1. Property size

Bigger properties simply take more images to cover properly — a 1-bed apartment might need around 13 photos, while a large villa can easily justify 35–40. More rooms means more setups, more angles and more editing time downstream, and that's the main reason villa packages cost more than apartment packages.

2. Add-ons: drone, twilight, 3D

Drone is where most Airbnb hosts and agents get the highest ROI — an aerial establishing shot showing the pool, the plot and the sea view sells the lifestyle, not just the rooms. Twilight shots (that 20-minute blue-hour window) are worth it for anything with a pool, terrace or sea view. Matterport 3D scans are becoming standard for luxury villas above €1M.

3. Editing quality

Editing is where cheap shoots fall apart. A €80 rate simply doesn't leave room for real post-production time per image — so what you get back is usually straight-out-of-camera exports or a quick auto-HDR pass. Proper editing (careful exposure blending, colour correction, straightened verticals, clean skies) takes real time per image, and it's the difference between a photo that fills a listing and a photo that actually makes buyers or guests stop and click.

What you should get for the price

For any professional shoot on the Costa del Sol you should expect:

• High-resolution edited JPEGs delivered within 48 hours
• Full commercial license — use them on Idealista, Kyero, Airbnb, Booking, your website
• Colour-corrected skies, straightened verticals, natural interior light
• Cloud gallery for 3 months minimum (extended storage usually costs €50–€168)

Areas we cover

Travel is included in our rates for anywhere between Málaga and Estepona. Shoots outside this zone are still possible — there may be a small added travel fee depending on the location, just ask when you get in touch.
