Quick answer: 13 verified new-build developments on the Costa Blanca are listed here, from €215 500 in Alicante to €1 150 000 on the northern coast, median €385 000. The Valencian Community cut resale ITP to 9% for purchases under €1,000,000 on 1 June 2026. The coast splits hard at Alicante: north is rocky, greener and two to three times the price of the flat, British-dominated south.

The Coast Splits at Alicante
Treating the Costa Blanca as a single market is the most common error made from abroad, and it produces budgets that are either double or half what the target town actually costs. North of Alicante the coastline is rocky and pine-covered, the towns are older, and the buyer base is a mix of Northern European nationalities: Jávea, Moraira, Altea and Dénia are villa markets built into hillsides, and they carry the upper end of our range at up to €1,150,000. South of Alicante the land flattens into the Vega Baja and the salt lakes, where Torrevieja, Villamartin, Ciudad Quesada and Orihuela Costa were built out through the 1990s and 2000s for British buyers at €1,500 to €2,200 per square metre, which remains the most accessible coastal property in mainland Spain.
Treating the Costa Blanca as one market is the most common mistake made from abroad, and it produces budgets that are either double or half what the target town actually costs.
North of Alicante the coastline is rocky and pine-covered, the towns are older, and the buyer base is a mix of Northern European nationalities. Jávea, Moraira, Altea and Dénia are villa markets built into hillsides with sea views, and they price accordingly. This is where our upper range sits.
South of Alicante the land flattens into the Vega Baja and the salt lakes. Torrevieja, Villamartin, Ciudad Quesada, Orihuela Costa and Los Alcázares were built out through the 1990s and 2000s, largely for British buyers, and they remain overwhelmingly British today. Entry prices of €1,500 to €2,200 per square metre make this the most accessible coastal property in mainland Spain.
Alicante city itself is neither. It is a working provincial capital with a university, a port and an airport, where the tenant is as likely to be a Spanish professional as a Northern European retiree, and where our cheapest Costa Blanca entry of €215 500 sits.
Insider tip: the south is a resale market, not a new-build one. Search demand for new build in Torrevieja, Villamartin and Ciudad Quesada is negligible, while general property demand for the same towns runs into hundreds of searches a month. If you want Villamartin specifically, you are shopping the second-hand stock of the 2000s, and we will tell you that rather than steer you to a new build forty minutes away.
The June 2026 Tax Change
On 1 June 2026 the Valencian Community reduced resale Property Transfer Tax to 9% for transactions under €1,000,000, replacing the previous banded structure, and that single change is the main reason Costa Blanca transaction volumes moved during 2026. Two qualifications decide whether it helps you. The 9% applies to resale only: a new build remains an IVA transaction at 10% plus AJD stamp duty, untouched by the reform, which matters because most of our stock on this coast is new build. And 9% still sits two percentage points above the flat 7% charged in neighbouring Andalucía, so a buyer genuinely choosing between the Costa Blanca and the Costa del Sol should put the tax line into the comparison rather than assuming the cheaper coast is cheaper throughout.
On 1 June 2026 the Valencian Community reduced resale Property Transfer Tax to 9% for transactions under €1,000,000, down from the previous banded structure. For a buyer at the regional median that is a real saving, and it is the main reason Costa Blanca transaction volumes moved in 2026.
Two qualifications matter. The 9% applies to resale only: a new build is an IVA transaction at 10% plus AJD, and the reform does not touch it. And 9% is still materially above the 7% flat rate in neighbouring Andalucía, so a buyer genuinely choosing between the Costa Blanca and the Costa del Sol should put the tax line in the comparison rather than assuming the cheaper coast is cheaper all the way through.
| Cost | New build | Resale |
|---|---|---|
| Tax | 10% IVA + AJD | 9% ITP under €1m |
| Notary | €600 to €1,200 | €600 to €1,200 |
| Land registry | €400 to €800 | €400 to €800 |
| Independent lawyer | 1% to 1.5% | 1% to 1.5% |
The Valencian ITP guide sets out the bands and the qualifying conditions.
Letting: Two Registrations, Not One
The Valencian Community has its own tourist registration regime, and since 2026 there is also a national rental registration number, the NRA, required before a property can be advertised for short lets on any platform.
That is two separate hurdles, and neither is guaranteed. Alicante and Benidorm both apply zoning restrictions on new tourist registrations. Community of owners statutes can prohibit short lets independently of anything the municipality decides. And the national NRA regime, being new, is still bedding in.
The practical consequence for a yield model: do not assume a short-let income until both registrations are confirmed available for your specific unit. A long-let model at a lower gross but with no licence risk is frequently the better underwriting on this coast. The rental registration number guide covers what the NRA requires.
What the Numbers Actually Net
Southern Costa Blanca gross yields are quoted at 5.8% to 6.8% for long lets and up to 8.5% for licensed holiday lets. Those are among the highest headline numbers in coastal Spain, and they are the reason the area attracts yield-led buyers.
Net is another matter. Deduct IBI, community fees on an urbanisation with pools and gardens, insurance, management at 22% to 28% for a short-let operation, and non-resident income tax at 19% for EU and EEA residents or 24% on gross for everyone else. British owners, who dominate this coast, sit in the 24% band with no expense deductions at all since Brexit.
A 7% gross short-let on the Costa Blanca South commonly nets 3.5% to 4.5% once all of that is applied, which is still respectable and is not the number in the brochure.

Buyer Scenarios on the Costa Blanca
The coast splits hard at Alicante, and that split defines the scenarios that work here.
The southern value buyer. Someone buying below Alicante, where the market is predominantly resale and prices sit in the accessible band. The trade is explicit: no Ley 57/1968 bank guarantee and no ten, three and one year warranties, in exchange for a lower entry price and an established community with a visible track record. A structural survey and two years of community accounts cover most of that gap.
The northern buyer. Someone buying above Alicante, where the coast is rockier and greener and prices run two to three times the southern band, up to €1 150 000 in our catalogue. This is a different product rather than a more expensive version of the same one, and it draws a different resale pool. Our verified new-build stock concentrates here and in Alicante itself, from €215 500, median €385 000.
The letting owner. Someone underwriting holiday income anywhere on the coast. Two registrations are needed rather than one: the Valencian tourist registration and, since 2026, the national NRA rental number, without which the property cannot be advertised on any platform. Confirm both for the specific unit before you offer. The June 2026 change cut resale ITP to 9% for purchases under €1,000,000, which is worth roughly €3,000 on a €300,000 property against the previous rate.
What to Verify Before You Reserve
- Whether the 9% ITP or the 10% IVA route applies, and what it does to your total.
- That both the Valencian tourist registration and the national NRA number are obtainable for your unit.
- That the community statutes do not prohibit short lets.
- That the promoting entity on the reservation contract matches the guarantee issuer.
- That southern comparables are priced against southern transactions: Villamartin is not Moraira.

The South Is a Resale Market, and That Changes How You Shop
We measured this rather than assumed it. Search demand for the southern towns is substantial and almost entirely generic: Villamartin, Ciudad Quesada, Orihuela Costa and Los Alcázares together attract thousands of property searches a month. Search demand for new build in those same towns is close to nothing.
The reason is physical. Villamartin was built out around its golf course from the late 1980s. Ciudad Quesada, in the municipality of Rojales, grew through the 1990s and 2000s. Orihuela Costa filled in along the N-332 in the same period. These are finished places. What trades there is the second-hand stock: townhouses, quad villas and apartments in gated urbanisations, typically €90,000 to €250,000, sold by small English-speaking agencies that have operated in the same towns for twenty years.
For a buyer that has three consequences. Comparables matter more than developer marketing, because every unit has traded before and the price history is knowable. Community fees on an urbanisation with communal pools deserve close inspection, because they have had two decades to drift. And the building itself needs a survey, which off-plan buyers never think about because there is nothing yet to survey.
If your brief is Villamartin or Quesada specifically, say so and we will source against it rather than move you to a new build in a different town. Pretending otherwise would waste your time.
Where the New Build Actually Is
Our 13 Costa Blanca developments concentrate in four places, and the logic is straightforward: land.
Alicante city has redevelopment plots and a genuine year-round rental market. Benidorm builds vertically on the Poniente side. Calpe and the northern towns build into hillsides where plots remain. Torrevieja has pockets of new development around the lagoons, which is where TM Grupo operates.
Three developers cover the coast in our catalogue: Aedas Homes, Kronos Homes, TM Grupo Inmobiliario. TM Grupo is the one with the deepest southern footprint, which is why the Torrevieja stock exists at all.
Off-Plan on This Coast
12 of the 13 developments listed are off-plan. The protections are the same as everywhere in Spain and worth restating because the Costa Blanca has a long institutional memory of what happens when they are ignored.
Every payment made before the escritura must be covered by a bank guarantee or insurance policy under Ley 57/1968, issued per payment and naming you. Ley 38/1999 adds a ten-year structural warranty on the completed building. The Vega Baja saw a wave of developer failures after 2008 in which buyers without guarantee certificates lost their deposits entirely, and the lesson is not historical: the certificate is the protection, not the contract.
Ask for the guarantee wording before the private contract, check the entity named on it against the entity selling to you, and get a certificate for every stage payment rather than one for the scheme.
Getting There, Which Affects Resale
Alicante-Elche airport handles the whole coast and is the single most important piece of infrastructure for foreign ownership here. Flight frequency from the UK and Ireland is high and year-round, and that is what keeps the southern rental season longer than the weather alone would justify.
Distance from the airport is a resale factor buyers underweight. Torrevieja is around 40 minutes, Villamartin and Orihuela Costa 45 to 55, Moraira and Jávea 75 to 90. On a short-let model the transfer time affects booking conversion; on a personal-use model it affects how often you actually come.
Thinking About the Exit
The southern Costa Blanca has the deepest and most liquid British resale market in Spain, which cuts both ways. Selling is straightforward because the buyer pool is large and familiar with the product. Pricing is disciplined for the same reason: there are hundreds of comparable units and buyers know what they cost.
The north is thinner and slower but less commoditised, so a genuinely good position, a sea view or a large plot holds a premium that the south does not offer.
Non-resident sellers face the 3% retention: the buyer withholds 3% of the price against your capital gains liability and you reclaim any excess afterwards. The capital gains guide covers the mechanics.
Frequently Asked Questions
Our verified new-build stock runs from €215 500 in Alicante city to €1 150 000 on the northern coast, median €385 000. The coast splits sharply: Costa Blanca South around Torrevieja and Orihuela Costa prices from roughly €1,500 to €2,200 per square metre, while the northern towns of Jávea, Moraira and Altea run two to three times that.
The Costa Blanca sits in the Valencian Community, where resale ITP was cut to 9% for transactions under €1,000,000 from 1 June 2026. New build instead carries 10% IVA plus AJD stamp duty. That 9% is still above the 7% charged in neighbouring Andalucía, so compare the tax line when you compare coasts.
Yes. The Valencian Community requires a tourist registration and, since 2026, a national rental registration number (NRA) for any property advertised for short lets. Municipalities including Alicante and Benidorm apply their own zoning restrictions, and community of owners statutes can prohibit short lets regardless of what the municipality allows.
North of Alicante, the coast is rocky, greener and more expensive, with Jávea, Moraira, Altea and Dénia serving a mixed Northern European buyer base at higher price points. South of Alicante it is flatter, drier and cheaper, dominated by British buyers around Torrevieja, Villamartin and Orihuela Costa, where the stock is largely resale rather than new build.
Less than the demand suggests. Search volume for new build in Torrevieja, Villamartin and Ciudad Quesada is negligible, while general property searches for those towns run into the hundreds each month. That market is resale-led: mature urbanisations built through the 2000s, traded by local agencies. Our new-build stock concentrates around Alicante, Benidorm, Calpe and Torrevieja.
