Buying Property on the Costa Blanca

Where to buy property on the Costa Blanca

Property owners living on the Costa Blanca enjoy some 320 days of sunshine per year on average. High-density development around the likes of Benidorm and Torrevieja since the 1960s has given way to high-quality, luxury homes with more of a flavour of ‘the real Spain’ about them.

Golf is a big draw and the region is blessed with a number of fine courses. The area around San Miguel de Salinas at the south of the coast (Vega Baja) has some much sought-after courses, and there are some high-quality golf developments to the north of the region (Marina Alta) around Denia and Javea.

The region is not all about golf, though. The ‘White Coast’ stretches from Murcia in the south to Gandia in the north. Along with its glorious Blue Flag beaches there’s also a mountainous hinterland to explore and several protected park areas. Many of the newer property developments are much more sympathetic to the natural beauty and culture of the area than the projects of yesteryear.

There’s already a large British expat community in the area. The region is easy to get to and transfer times from the airport to the resorts are not long. Amenities and infrastructure are good and well-established in this part of Spain. All of these factors, along with that glorious climate, go to explain the region’s continued popularity as a holiday home and retirement hotspot.
