Stretching for more than 200 kilometres along Spain’s southeastern Mediterranean coast, the Costa Blanca – “White Coast” – takes its name from the dazzling light reflected off its pale beaches and whitewashed villages.
After decades of steady growth, the Costa Blanca is once again in the spotlight. Post-pandemic recovery, robust infrastructure upgrades and renewed British and northern European demand have reignited confidence across the region’s property industry.
Tourism has returned stronger than ever. Valencia’s hotels hit record autumn occupancy, fuelled by a surge in British visitors – many of whom are also exploring second-home opportunities along the coast. In the Costa Blanca specifically, hotel occupancy levels reached around 95 per cent in August 2025, as reported by Esentya Estate.
This sustained demand is helping to stabilise prices and encourage new developments in popular areas like Benidorm, Calpe, and Altea. The region is a preferred destination for northern European buyers, especially from the UK, Nordic countries, France, Belgium, and Poland.
Adding to the area’s attractiveness, the Costa Blanca tram network is set for a major revitalisation, improving transport links between Alicante and coastal resorts. Meanwhile, work has begun on a long-awaited safety upgrade to the N-332 junction between Oliva and Pego, a project expected to enhance accessibility and boost local property values.
For residents, the appeal is clear. A long-term resident in Altea described the area as “a very safe place to live… I feel safe at all times of day and night,” praising the strong international community.
Spain’s continued draw for international buyers, thanks to its warmer climate, affordability, and lifestyle quality, keeps the Spanish property dream well and truly alive.
With upgraded infrastructure, thriving tourism, and steady investment, the Costa Blanca’s real estate outlook for 2025 looks bright, offering long-term value for expats.
