The Best Locations to Buy a Luxury Home in Spain
Spain is a country that attracts people from all over the world. Not only do people come to enjoy a short summer break. More and more wealthy homeowners are eyeing up a luxury property on the Iberian Peninsula in search of a better life.
Spain has luxury homes by the bucket and spade load. Whether it’s a traditional country home, an inner city apartment, or a contemporary villa, there is something for everyone and every budget. The main question, as it always is with real estate, is where to buy? Location is everything.
So, let us take you through your options to let you decide which luxury home location is the right one for you.
Luxury homes in Barcelona:
The capital of Catalonia has so much to offer. The typical European city combines cosmopolitan living with traditional Spain. There’s art, fashion, architecture, start-up businesses, and beaches. It’s no wonder then that a short car journey into local coastal towns hosts an array of luxury houses and villas. There are also apartments in the grid like layout of the city centre. If you want a balcony overlooking the Sagrada Familia, be prepared to delve deep into your pockets and have a lot less space. Barcelona is also one of the world’s most visited cities. If you live here, you are sure to encounter a lot of tourists.
Luxury Homes in San Sebastian:
On the north coast you can find one of Spain’s lesser-known gems. There is a wealthy community living in one of the priciest cities for a reason. It’s a beautiful place with a rich culture. In close proximity to the border of France, driving distance to ski resorts in the Pyrenees, and neighbour to the bigger Bilbao, its location has a lot going for it. It’s also ideal for people that aren’t such fans of the hotter climates of the south. You’re more likely to find rural country houses on offer here than a modern villa. Yet that’s not to say they don’t exist. You can find apartments in traditional buildings in the city centre for under a million euros. Just don’t expect to get more than 2 or 3 bedrooms.
Luxury Homes Costa del Sol:
Famed for its wealth, you are spoilt for choice when it comes to luxury houses in this area of Spain. The hills surrounding Marbella are often referred to as the Spanish Beverley Hills. And there’s no doubt as to why. Dotted across the region are the modern white contemporary villas in all shapes and sizes. The “sunny coast” isn’t named coincidentally. With its balmy temperatures all year round, one who seeks luxury will find it here. There’s a major airport in Malaga which is a bonus for international residents, and there is an array of people of different nationalities who have decided to call it home. If you own a yacht, it you’ll have plenty of options for where to moor. So, if you’re looking to pay 1 million, or 20 million, you’ll be sure to find your dream home.
Luxury Homes in Madrid:
The capital city of Spain is fit for a king. The royal palace is not for sale however. If it’s good enough for his highness, it’s good enough for you. The luscious green surrounding towns of Madrid are also home to some of the most famous Spanish celebrities and footballers. Being a capital city, you can imagine the endless amount of culture and entertainment available if you’re looking for a fulfilled lifestyle. You can find amazing rooftop terraced penthouse apartments in the city centre, although you must be willing to spend over 5 million euros. In Madrid, you’re paying for the busy city lifestyle. If you’re a business person, you’re probably going to need to be in the business centre of Spain. This doesn’t mean you have to live without luxury. It does mean you will have to live without a beach nearby though.
Luxury Homes Costa Blanca:
Anywhere along the coast from Alicante to Valencia, you can find the most up and coming luxury real estate in all of Spain. Rivalling the Costa del Sol, the “white coast”, named for its glorious white sandy beaches, is rapidly becoming the most sought-after area to buy in. Why? Well, unlike other locations on this list, this region still has the best euro/metre squared price ratio available. Now is the time to buy here, before the luxury property market truly does explode and take over from its more southern competition. With well-connected airports in Alicante and Valencia, only 2 hour train journeys to Madrid, and a 30 minute flight to Ibiza, the location is indisputable. The climate also isn’t as intense here as it is in southern Spain, which many international buyers prefer. What about the luxury properties themselves? There is a plethora of options for everyone: modern apartments, incredible villas, traditional chalets, family homes. You can choose to be hidden away in the mountains, or perched right in front of the beach.
So where do we recommend for buying a luxury home in Spain? Due to its international and regional travel connections, close proximity to amazing cultural city hubs like Valencia and Alicante, endless beaches, and perfect climate, the Costa Blanca has to be considered as the best destination to own a property in Spain. Not only that, you get more bang for your buck here than anywhere else in Spain.
