Six of the best places to buy a holiday home in Spain 

There are a number of stand-out destinations for expats looking to buy a property in Spain. The Mediterranean coast is, naturally, a huge draw so we’re going to focus on six seaside regions where you should focus your efforts. Make sure you scroll to the very end to discover our absolute favourite

1. Costa Brava

If you’re keen to have both Spain and France on your doorstep, the Costa Brava is for you. Sitting just south of the French border, the stretch of the Mediterranean coastline is the northernmost of the destinations described in this post. The famous surrealist artist Dalí was from the area, finding inspiration in the region’s azure waters and rolling hills populated with pines. There are also plenty of golf courses, nature reserves, ski slopes and beautiful beaches for you and your family to enjoy.

2. Costa Dorada

This well-preserved stretch of coast is just south of Barcelona and has many natural wonders. If your family enjoys exploring naturescapes, you’re going to love the Ebro Delta which attracts millions of birds every winter. The weather here is beautiful all year round: the stretch of coast from the Costa Dorada to the Costa del Sol boasts an impressive 300 days of sunshine a year, meaning you won’t need to worry about getting your daily dose of vitamin D. 

3. Costa del Azahar

The Costa del Azahar rubs shoulders with the Costa Dorada, embracing all the towns on the Castellón coast. Though similar to the Costa Blanca, there aren’t a great many holiday homes in this area, making it a great choice for families looking for a quieter destination, far from the droves of tourists. On this stretch of the coast, you can expect wild sandy beaches and many orange and olive groves where you will feel yourself unwind. 

4. Costa Cálida

Literally meaning ‘the warm coast’, Murcia’s Costa Cálida lives up to its name with high temperatures all year round. The destination stretches for 250 km along the Mediterranean coast and is an extremely popular destination for tourists. The area boasts many golf courses and great cities like Cartagena and Mazarrón

5. Costa del Sol

Similar to the Costa Blanca, the Costa del Sol boasts incredible infrastructure for families looking to pair the tranquillity of the inland with the hustle and bustle of the city. The capital of the area, Malaga, is one of the biggest cities in Spain, offering all sorts of museums, sights, bars and restaurants. But just outside, the mountains are the ideal place to go hiking, mountain biking and even skiing. History buffs will also love the destination as there are all sorts of Greek, Roman and Moorish sites dotted throughout the area. 

6. Costa Blanca

Finally, we’ve reached the best place to buy in Spain for expats. The Costa Blanca, and Calpe in particular, is a truly unique destination. Not only is it located close to both Alicante and Valencia cities, you’re also just a stone’s throw from small towns and villages where you can enjoy restaurants, cinemas, concert halls and theme parks. 

The Costa Blanca also boasts a trove of natural treasures like rugged coves, sandy stretches and fast-flowing waterfalls where you can enjoy diving, paddle boarding, sailing and all sorts of other water sports. As you can see, it’s an unparalleled destination to purchase an apartment, bungalow or retirement property
