The Costa Blanca continues to shine as a favourite among British property buyers in 2025, and for good reason. With sunshine almost all year round, stunning Mediterranean scenery, and excellent value for money, this stretch of Spain’s southeastern coast is becoming even more appealing — particularly for those seeking key-ready homes by the beach.
New Costa Blanca homes cheaper than UK average
According to Zoopla’s April 2025 figures, the average house price in the UK now stands at £268,200 (approx. €319,766). In comparison, Taylor Wimpey España is offering brand-new properties at Eden Beach in La Mata (Costa Blanca) from just €280,000 + VAT, making them over 12% cheaper than the average UK home.
This price difference is especially striking when you consider what’s on offer: contemporary two-bedroom apartments and three-bedroom penthouses, all southeast-facing with spectacular sea views. These properties are part of a private, gated development just 700 metres from La Mata beach, featuring cascading pools, landscaped gardens, and a peaceful coastal lifestyle.
Key-ready apartments for summer 2025
For buyers eager to make the most of summer 2025 in Spain, key-ready ground-floor apartments are available from €285,000 + VAT. These homes include spacious interiors, private gardens, and excellent accessibility. Sustainability has also been prioritised, with features such as aerothermal heating, double glazing, and pre-installation for EV chargers. All properties hold an A-rated energy certificate, making them an ideal long-term investment.
Costa Blanca’s growing popularity backed by airport data
The region’s rising popularity is clearly reflected in passenger data from Alicante-Elche Airport, which saw a 16% increase in travellers in 2024, with 18.4 million passengers. In 2025, growth continues, with four consecutive record-breaking months. April alone saw 1.7 million passengers, 1.5 million of whom came from abroad — a clear sign of Costa Blanca’s continued international appeal.
A lifestyle that sells itself
Aside from affordability, the Costa Blanca offers a lifestyle that appeals to a wide range of buyers. From renowned golf courses like Villamartín, Campoamor, Las Ramblas and Las Colinas to hiking routes through natural parks, beach days, and vibrant local cuisine, the region ticks all the boxes for holidaymakers and second-home owners alike.
Add to that the excellent transport links to the UK, the convenience of local services (including shops, restaurants, a supermarket and pharmacy at Torremarina commercial centre), and you have a winning combination for international buyers.
“With over 120 miles of Mediterranean coastline and a growing selection of high-quality homes at competitive prices, Costa Blanca remains the destination of choice for British buyers,” says Marc Pritchard, Sales and Marketing Director at Taylor Wimpey España.
