Alicante and Costa Blanca: Where and Why Foreign Buyers Are Purchasing Homes Now
1. Top Coastal Provinces for International Buyers
Alicante (33.2%), Balearic Islands (31.5%), and Málaga (27.1%), along with Santa Cruz de Tenerife (25.8%), are the leading Spanish provinces attracting foreign buyers in Q2 2025, according to Idealista. Costa Blanca is now firmly established as the number one destination for those looking to buy a home under the Mediterranean sun.
This international demand is not new: in 2024, foreigners purchased nearly 93,000 homes in Spain, representing 14.6% of all transactions. For 2025, forecasts show sustained interest, with growing demand from the Netherlands, Germany, France, and Italy.
2. Nationalities Leading the Demand in Costa Blanca
Alicante ranks as the province with the highest share of international interest. Among those searching for homes in Costa Blanca, the most active buyers come from:
- Netherlands: 19% of views on for-sale listings
- Germany: 12%
- United Kingdom: 11%
This trend is also evident in other coastal regions, with a more diverse foreign buyer profile. In the Balearic Islands, Germans make up 42% of international demand. In Málaga, the British still lead, but are closely followed by Dutch and German buyers.
3. Why Now Is a Prime Real Estate Opportunity
For international buyers, Costa Blanca offers a unique combination of:
- Strong, established demand in 2025
- Limited and increasingly competitive housing supply
- Growing visibility across Europe
- Options for both personal use and rental investment
Acting now means access to better locations and prices—before international competition continues to push prices up.
