Building in Alicante
Alicante is the only true city on the Costa Blanca where you can build both in an urban setting and in quieter outlying municipalities with sea views. The city centre and coastal districts such as El Cabo de las Huertas and Playa de San Juan have very few remaining vacant plots, but in the expanding neighbourhoods on the outskirts and in municipalities such as Mutxamel and San Juan there are still opportunities for those who want to build their own home. The advantage of building in the Alicante area is the outstanding connectivity: the international airport is ten minutes away, the motorway links you quickly to the rest of the Costa Blanca and every urban amenity is on the doorstep. Those who want to compare the broader range of building plots in the region will find a useful overview on our page about building plots on the Costa Blanca.
What to expect
Building plots in and around Alicante tend to be smaller and more expensive than parcels in the more rural parts of the Costa Blanca, but the location more than compensates for that for many buyers. Within the city itself, most available plots are designated for multi-family housing or smaller development projects. Those who want to build a detached villa are better off looking at outlying municipalities or at plots within urbanisations outside the city centre. As an alternative to a self-build project, the apartments in Alicante or the houses in Alicante are worth considering.

Frequently asked questions
How do I know whether a plot has building permission in Alicante?
Buildability and the permitted plot ratio are recorded in the municipal urban development plan (PGOU) of the city of Alicante. Palmhouses checks this for every plot you are considering and explains the applicable conditions clearly.
Do I need a NIE number to buy a building plot?
Yes. The NIE is your Spanish tax identification number and is required for every property purchase, including land. Palmhouses takes care of the application on your behalf.
Can I build a detached villa in Alicante?
In the city centre, most plots are designated for multi-family construction. For a detached villa you are better off looking at plots in outlying municipalities or in urbanisations outside the city. Palmhouses will help you find the right location to match your building plans and budget.
