Milan Ugrik has spent long years working inside the Dubai and Abu Dhabi property markets, advising private investors on where capital goes furthest and how to enter the market safely. From 21 to 23 August, he is bringing that expertise directly to Marbella for a limited series of private, one-to-one consultations at Puente Romano Beach Resort and one investor seminar session.
This is a rare chance to access the UAE market without flying there. Most serious Emirates opportunities — pre-launch allocations, direct developer terms, off-market units — never reach the public listings, and they are usually secured through relationships rather than portals. Milan works with those relationships daily and will bring current, verified inventory to the table rather than generic brochures.
For Spanish and international investors, the timing matters. The UAE offers no personal income tax, no annual property tax and no capital gains tax on real estate — a structure that changes the entire arithmetic of a long-term hold. Gross rental yields in Dubai typically sit well above what comparable Costa del Sol assets produce, while the dirham's peg to the US dollar gives euro-based portfolios genuine currency diversification. Property investment above the relevant threshold can also open the door to the UAE's 10-year Golden Visa, an option that has drawn fresh attention since Spain closed its own residency-by-investment route. Flexible developer payment plans mean entry is often possible with a fraction of the purchase price up front, which is not something the Spanish market offers in the same way.
There is also a natural fit between the two markets. The investor who understands Marbella — beachfront, branded residences, international tenants, lifestyle-driven demand — already understands the logic of Dubai Marina, Palm Jumeirah or Saadiyat Island. This is not about leaving one market for another; it is about holding both, and balancing a mature European asset against a high-growth one.
Sessions are private and limited in number across the three days. Each meeting covers your objectives, budget and time horizon, followed by a concrete shortlist of properties and a realistic view of the risks as well as the returns.
