Alicante Province, located on the Costa Blanca coast, remains one of the key destinations in Spain for foreign buyers of luxury real estate. We're not talking about the specific city of Alicante, but the entire province, including popular locations such as Calpe, Moraira, Altea, and Orihuela-Costa.
According to a study by the Idealista portal, in several areas of the province, more than 60% of interest in purchasing properties worth over 1.5 million euros comes from foreigners.
Costa Blanca — A Magnet for European Buyers
Compared to other prestigious Spanish regions — the Balearic Islands, Málaga, and Girona — the Costa Blanca (Alicante Province) confidently maintains its position thanks to a combination of climate, infrastructure, and relatively more accessible prices in the luxury segment.
The most active buyers are from the Netherlands, who dominate in most sought-after areas. Germans and Swedes also make up a significant share.
The Most Sought-After Areas of Alicante Province
The study highlights nine zones in different municipalities of the province where foreign buyer interest is particularly high:
- Oltamar-Cucarres (Calpe) — 66.3% foreign demand (mainly Dutch)
- Maryvilla (Calpe) — 64% (predominantly German)
- Casco Urbano (Moraira) — 62.6% (Dutch)
- Benitachell — 62.3% (German)
- Altea la Vella (Altea) — 61.9% (Dutch)
- Moravit-Cap Blanc (Moraira) — 61.7% (Dutch)
- La Zenia (La Zenia) — 61.7% (Swedish)
- Paichi (Moraira) — 61.6% (Dutch)
- Pinar de Advocat-Cometa (Moraira) — 61.6% (Dutch)
Why Alicante Province
The region's popularity is explained by several factors:
- mild Mediterranean climate year-round
- developed infrastructure and international communities
- wide selection of modern villas with sea views
- high property liquidity
Properties in coastal developments with panoramic views and privacy are particularly sought after.
Sustained Interest in the Luxury Segment
The growing demand confirms a long-term trend: foreign buyers view Costa Blanca not only as a holiday destination but also as an investment opportunity.
Thus, it is precisely Alicante Province (Costa Blanca), and not just the city of Alicante, that is becoming one of the main centers of attraction for luxury property buyers in Spain.
