Costa Blanca & Costa Cálida

Golf Property

Southern Costa Blanca and the Mar Menor hold one of Europe’s densest concentrations of golf courses — and homes on or beside the fairways at every price point. Play in January in a polo shirt; that is the whole point.

Why buyers choose golf property here

Golf on this coast is a year-round sport, not a summer one. Mild winters mean the courses around Orihuela Costa, the Vega Baja and the Mar Menor play twelve months a year, and the homes around them work equally well as permanent residences, winter bases or rental investments with a season that never really closes.

The market splits into two clear tracks. Purpose-built resorts such as Las Colinas and La Finca offer new-build quality, security and services inside the gates. Established golf towns like Villamartín and Ciudad Quesada wrap the courses in real communities — shops, restaurants and neighbours who live there all year. We sell both, and we will tell you honestly which suits you.

Resale golf homes

Established homes in mature golf communities — gardens grown in, communities settled, and you can move in (and tee off) right away.

Buying golf property — common questions

Do I have to be a club member to own a home on a golf resort?

No. On the courses we work with, property ownership and golf membership are separate. Owners can usually buy memberships or discounted green-fee packages, but you are free to own without playing — many residents simply enjoy the setting and security.

What extra costs should I budget for when buying in Spain?

As a rule of thumb, allow roughly 10–14% on top of the purchase price. Resale purchases carry a transfer tax (ITP) that varies by region — 8% in the Valencia region, where most of these areas sit — while new builds carry 10% VAT plus stamp duty. Notary, land registry and legal fees make up the rest. We provide a full cost breakdown before you commit to anything.

Is a new-build or a resale better on a golf course?

It depends on your priorities. New builds offer modern specification, energy efficiency, a 10-year structural guarantee and staged payments — but you may wait for completion. Resales in mature golf communities are ready now, often on larger plots, with established gardens and communities. We sell both and will show you like-for-like comparisons.

Do golf properties rent well?

Golf areas benefit from a long rental season: golfers travel in spring, autumn and winter, exactly when beach demand drops. Note that holiday rentals in Spain require a regional tourist licence, and some communities restrict short-term letting — we check the rules for any specific property before you buy.

Can non-residents buy property in Spain?

Yes. There are no restrictions on foreign buyers. You will need an NIE (foreigner identification number), which we help arrange, and a Spanish bank account is practical. Non-residents can also obtain Spanish mortgages, typically financing up to 60–70% of the purchase price.
