New-build homes for sale on the Costa Blanca

Updated 2026-10-07

We list more than 230 new-build homes on the Costa Blanca and the neighbouring Mar Menor coast. It is the best value of the Spanish coasts we cover: the typical price is under €400,000, and almost half the homes are villas, many with a private pool. Prices run from about €130,000 for a golf apartment to €4.2 million for a villa at Las Colinas. Every home has its own page with floor area, price and the full cost of buying.

Where we list

Most of the homes are in the south of the Costa Blanca, between Guardamar and Pilar de la Horadada. Torrevieja has the most, mainly apartments close to the beaches and the salt lakes. Orihuela Costa, which takes in La Zenia, Playa Flamenca and Punta Prima, has apartments and villas near the coast and the big shopping centre at La Zenia. Inland, Ciudad Quesada, Rojales, San Miguel de Salinas and Los Montesinos have villas with private pools, and the golf resorts of Las Colinas and La Finca have the largest homes.

In the north, Finestrat, just behind Benidorm, has modern apartments and villas with sea views, and Altea, Calpe, La Nucía, Benissa and Dénia add hillside villas at higher prices. Altea is the most expensive town we list on this coast.

Around one home in seven is on the Mar Menor, a shallow salt-water lagoon just over the border in the Region of Murcia: Los Alcázares, San Pedro del Pinatar and Santa Rosalía, plus golf resorts inland of Murcia. We group these with the Costa Blanca because buyers usually compare the two, but the purchase taxes are set by Murcia (see below).

Price bands

About half the homes are under €400,000: two- and three-bedroom apartments and townhouses, and the entry villas inland.

About a third sit between €400,000 and €1 million, mostly detached villas with private pools.

Around 20 are €1 million or more, at Las Colinas, La Zenia, Altea and Benissa.

Who buys where

The south suits holiday and retirement buyers who want a lot of home for the money, a large English-speaking community and two airports within reach, Alicante and Murcia. Torrevieja and Orihuela Costa apartments suit buyers who want to let. The golf resorts suit buyers who will lock up and leave for part of the year.

The north suits buyers who want scenery: steeper coast, sea views and towns with more Spanish character, at higher prices. The Mar Menor suits families, with calm, shallow water and the lowest prices on this stretch of coast.

What it costs to buy

A new home bought from a developer in Spain carries VAT (IVA) at 10% of the price, plus stamp duty (AJD) on the purchase deed. The Valencian region cut stamp duty from 1.5% to 1.4% from 1 June 2026. Homes on the Mar Menor and inland of Murcia pay Murcia's rate of 1.5%.

Notary, Land Registry and an independent lawyer add roughly 2% more, so budget around 13% to 14% on top of the price. Resale homes pay transfer tax instead of VAT, so these figures apply to new builds only. Our cost and yield calculator works out the total for any home and any currency.

The rental picture

Gross rental yields here are commonly quoted at 5% to 8%, higher than on the Costa del Sol, with long-term price growth of around 5% to 9% a year on recent figures. Treat these as ranges, not promises: returns depend on the home, the season and how it is let.

Holiday letting in the Valencian region needs registration in the regional tourist register, and the rules were tightened in 2024, with some towns limiting new holiday lets. Check the rules for the exact address before you buy with letting in mind. UK owners who let pay Spanish non-resident tax at 24% on the rent, against 19% for EU residents, and owners pay a small imputed income tax on a home they do not let.

Residency and rules for UK buyers

Spain closed its property Golden Visa on 3 April 2025, so buying a home no longer gives a residency route on its own, at any price. Without residency, UK citizens can spend up to 90 days in any 180 in the Schengen area. Longer stays need a visa, such as the non-lucrative visa for people living on their own income.

In January 2025 the Spanish government proposed a tax of up to 100% on homes bought by non-EU buyers. It has not been passed: as of 2026 the bill has not been debated in Congress. We will update this page if that changes.

Buying safely

Get your NIE, the tax number every foreign buyer needs, early, and appoint an independent lawyer rather than one recommended by the seller. Your lawyer checks that the developer owns the land, that the building licence has been granted rather than applied for, and that the home is free of charges.

On a home that is still being built, Spanish law (the Building Act, Ley 38/1999, as amended in 2015) requires the developer to pay your stage payments into a special bank account and to give you an individual bank guarantee or insurance certificate, in your name, for the money you pay. Do not pay a stage without it.
