Arenal d’en Castell – Menorca
With a population of a little under 100,000, Menorca finds the perfect balance between quiet daily life and the excitement of a thriving island that has plenty to see and do. One of our favorite places on the island is Arenal d’en Castell, located in the northern part of the island. Its legendary beach offers some of the island’s most iconic views. To add to the idyllic setting, the small bay is lined with cliffs that protect it from strong winds. The combination of beautiful sandy beaches and crystal blue seas is a sight that those living on this part of the island enjoy day after day.
The island has become very popular with families as well as retirees. It offers access to the great outdoors, making it the perfect place for those who love watersports as well as more traditional sports such as tennis. Residents of the islands also enjoy excellent local cuisine, thanks to the abundant local products coming from land and sea.
Menorca is easily accessible from the rest of Europe and the UK thanks to frequent and affordable flights.
Menorca has always been a popular destination but was sometimes seen as an expensive place to live compared to other parts of the country. Today, the island’s cost of living is on par with most parts of the mainland, making this the perfect time to choose Menorca.
Featured property:
Arenal Beach, a luxury development offering investors and future homeowners the opportunity to purchase a truly stunning property starting at under €300,000. Located 200m from the beach, it is the perfect option for anyone seeking sun, sea, and sand in Spain.
Cala Vadella – Ibiza
Ibiza has become the place to be during the summer party season. However, the beautiful Balearic island has much more to offer. Whether relocating for a better quality of life, looking for a holiday home or finding an investment property, Ibiza is a great option to consider.
One of our favorite spots in Ibiza is the quaint resort town of Cala Vadella, located in the southwest of the island. Its idyllic beach surrounded by pine-covered hills makes it the perfect place to relax and a hike up the surrounding hills offers a breathtaking view of the bay.
The family-friendly beach attracts the occasional horse rider and is a great place to enjoy water sports and boating. There are also a number of great restaurants nearby.
For those looking for a change of scenery, Cala Vadella is less than 20km away from the vibrant San Antonio area, home to some of the best nightlife in the world.
With 300 days of sunlight, low crime rates, and a strong community vibe, Ibiza is truly a stunning place – whether it’s to call home for 365 days a year or for the perfect getaway.
Featured property:
Vadella Views, the contemporary luxury penthouse apartments and studios is ideal for couples and families alike.The apartments offer stylish modern decor and advanced tech features throughout, as well as private terrace spaces. Communal areas include spas, swimming pools, a clubhouse and 24/7 security.
La Barceloneta – Barcelona
For anyone who craves the excitement of city life while remaining close to the coast, Barcelona is a fantastic choice. We especially love the seaside neighborhood La Barceloneta. Located in the Ciutat Vella part of the city, it is bordered by the Mediterranean Sea and offers some truly breathtaking views. La Barceloneta beach is located in the city’s most popular fishing district and boasts an array of excellent seafood restaurants.
The area is just far enough out of the city to enjoy peace and quiet when desired while still having a busy seaside resort and impressive city on your doorstep. A big part of its appeal is its proximity to the city-centre and iconic Barcelonian landmarks such as Las Ramblas, Camp Nou, the Gothic Quarter, and other points of interest.
There are also three airports within an hour’s drive, making it a great place to buy real estate in Spain for people who want a holiday home with easy access for city breaks. Barcelona’s thriving tourism industry also makes Barceloneta a good option for a real estate investment.
Real estate spotlight:
Properties in Barceloneta are more expensive compared to the average real estate price in Spain. A three-bed modern apartment on the Paseo Maritimo de la Barceloneta is likely to cost over €600,000.
Calle Mar Tirreno -Tarifa
If Barcelona feels too big, the small Andalusian town of Tarifa may be a better option. Situated on the southernmost tip of the country’s mainland, the coastal location offers stunning views of Morocco across the Strait of Gibraltar.
With several miles of beautiful white sandy beaches, as well as the Rio Jara lagoon, it is one of the Costa de la Luz’s hidden gems. A renowned designation for windsports, the town offers a number of attractions and water activities. It benefits from beautiful beaches and a pleasant climate that is cool yet sunny throughout the year.
Tarifa’s laid-back vibe makes it the perfect place to get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Its proximity to a number of airports makes it easily accessible for a week-end getaway or a long-term stay.
Real estate spotlight:
Tarifa is a great place to find real estate in Spain regardless of your budget. Classic-style real estate can be found at El Cuarton where 1-bed apartments with mountain views can be purchased for around €300,000. The Calle Mar Tirreno area to the northwest of the town is increasingly popular and offers a number of properties for sale.
Golden Mile – Marbella
Marbella has been a popular destination for expats over the past 50 years and is easily Costa del Sol’s most famous town.
Life in Marbella has a lot to offer. It’s safe, accessible, and blessed with great weather for more than half of the year. Average temperatures are in the high twenties during the warmer months and there is very little rain. It should be noted that the winter months are relatively cool. In addition to being home to some of the best beaches on the Costa del Sol, it is also known for its beautiful natural resources, including mountains and wildlife.
Both the Old Town and Orange Square are great places to explore for tourists and residents looking for great shopping and fantastic restaurants. When looking for a slice of the good life while being a stone’s throw from sandy beaches, the Golden Mile is the place to be in Marbella.
Real estate spotlight:
Marbella is synonymous with beautiful beachfront villas that deliver exquisite living conditions. If you’re looking for real estate in Spain that focuses on exclusive luxury properties, the Golden Mile is a good place to start the search. However, there are more affordable properties available too.
Conclusion
Whether you are looking for peace and tranquillity or wish to combine natural attractions with the excitement of city life, Spain is blessed with incredible beaches that feature equally stunning properties.
If you’re looking to move abroad or invest in the perfect holiday home in 2023, Spain’s luxury real estate market is the perfect solution.
