Houses for Sale on the Costa Blanca
The Costa Blanca is the coastline of the province of Alicante, stretching from Dénia in the north to Pilar de la Horadada in the south. With a mild climate, more than 200 kilometres of coast, affordable prices and direct flights to Alicante from the UK, Belgium and the Netherlands, it has long been one of the most popular Spanish coasts for international buyers. Whether you are looking for a holiday home, want to spend the winter in the sun or are moving for good, you will find a house on the Costa Blanca that suits you.
On this page you will find our current houses for sale on the Costa Blanca: townhouses, semi-detached homes, bungalows and detached houses, both resale and new build. Our office is in Villamartin, in the heart of the Costa Blanca South, so we know the area inside out.
Costa Blanca South or North?
The Costa Blanca consists of two worlds, each with its own character and price level.
The Costa Blanca South is flatter, sunnier and more affordable. Here you will find plenty of new build, golf resorts and a large international community.
- Torrevieja: a lively seaside town with a promenade, pink salt lakes and every amenity. You will find houses in every price range.
- Orihuela Costa: with areas such as La Zenia, Cabo Roig, Playa Flamenca and Villamartin. Small beaches, golf courses and the La Zenia Boulevard shopping centre.
- Ciudad Quesada and Rojales: slightly inland, quiet and popular with northern European buyers, with many detached houses and bungalows.
- Guardamar del Segura and San Miguel de Salinas: Guardamar with its pine forests and dunes, San Miguel as an authentic Spanish village overlooking the salt lakes.
The Costa Blanca North is greener and hillier, with coves, cliffs and a higher price level.
- Jávea and Moraira: exclusive and green, with rocky coves and many spacious houses with sea views.
- Altea and Albir: Altea with its white old town on the hill, Albir with a quiet promenade at the foot of the Sierra Helada.
- Calpe and Dénia: Calpe at the foot of the Peñón de Ifach rock, Dénia with its harbour and castle. Also take a look at our houses for sale in Calpe.
- Benidorm: urban and lively, with amenities all year round.
Which type of house suits you?
A townhouse or semi-detached home gives you your own terrace or garden, often with a shared pool on the complex.
