Real estate in Villamartin (Spain)

Property in Villamartín

Property in Villamartín covers all home formats in one of the best-known golf zones of the southern Costa Blanca. It's an urbanisation within Orihuela Costa, Alicante province, Valencia region. It is known for the namesake 18-hole golf course, hosting the Mediterranean Open won by José María Olazábal, and its location 4 km from the beaches. The catalogue covers apartments in Villamartin Gardens, villas frontline to the golf course, houses in Blue Lagoon, penthouses in Green Hills, townhouses in El Galán, and residences in Las Filipinas.

Why people most often buy real estate in Spain: to live next to a world-class golf course, to own a second home for holidays and rentals, or to invest in one of the most stable markets on the southern Costa Blanca. Alicante Airport is 45 minutes away by car, Corvera–Murcia Airport 50 minutes, La Zenia Beach 8 minutes, and Zenia Boulevard shopping centre 10 minutes. At Deniz Estate, we handle the entire transaction from the first viewing to the signing before a notary.

Villamartín on the Costa Blanca South: Golf Heart of Orihuela Costa

Commercial real estate in Villamartín enjoys a unique location—the area was developed from scratch as one of the first residential projects on Orihuela Costa, with a golf course at its centre. The layout was designed for comfortable living, with wide streets and green spaces. Nearby districts include Cabo Roig, La Zenia, Playa Flamenca, and Dehesa de Campoamor. The coast is just 8–10 minutes away via the N-332.

Who buys here: mostly British and Irish (a huge community, with more British bars at Villamartin Plaza than in any other Costa Blanca area), then Norwegian, Dutch, Swedish, Belgian, German. French and Polish buyers are coming in actively. Among Deniz Estate clients there are more and more Ukrainians. Climate — around 320 sunny days, mild winters at 13–17°C, warm dry summers.

Connection to the world goes via two airports: Alicante (45 minutes) takes direct flights from across the UK, Northern Europe, and Scandinavia; Corvera-Murcia (50 minutes) is an alternative with a UK-focused schedule. The AVE from Alicante runs to Madrid.

Investment in Villamartín: 5–7% Annual

The area runs 12 months a year thanks to winter "snowbirds" from the UK and Scandinavia who play golf in winter. Buying property in Villamartín can be done under different strategies. Property in Villamartín shows different yields. Apartments near the golf course rent through Airbnb and Booking at 5–7% annual. Frontline villas with pool bring 5–8% annual. Long-term lease to expats and remote workers — a steady 4–6% annual.

Forecasts show price growth of 6–9% per year on Orihuela Costa, in the premium Las Filipinas and Montegolf segment up to 10–12%. Demand is backed by a huge British community, the area's status as the number-one golf destination in the south, airport access in 45 minutes, and the fact that the infrastructure was planned in advance, without chaotic development.

Buying property in Villamartín for income makes sense with a 3+ year horizon — the market is liquid and demand is year-round. The international community keeps expanding across the UK, Northern Europe, and Scandinavia, supporting both short- and long-term rental demand.

Buying as a Foreigner in Valencia: 10% Tax

The area sits in Valencia — the resale tax here is 10% (ITP); on a new build it's 10% VAT plus 1.5% AJD. Notary and registration come to around 1.5–2%, buyer's lawyer 1%. On top of the price, budget 12–14%. The region is reforming the rate for the budget segment — we follow updates.

A mortgage is available: Spanish banks lend non-residents 50–70% of the price at 3.5–4.5% annual, terms up to 25 years. Approval takes 4–8 weeks, and we help with documents from day one. Before the deal we check the cadastral number, occupancy permit, community by-laws (for gated urbanizations), energy certificate, and that there are no debts on utilities or property tax.

Property in Villamartín from the banks deserves a separate conversation: Sabadell, Santander, BBVA, and Caixabank sometimes list properties at a 10–25% discount, but careful inspection is needed — often a 20–30% renovation is required, plus debts from previous owners. International buyers from the UK, EU, and Schengen countries don't need a visa for short stays. The deal can be done remotely through power of attorney; you'll still need a local tax number and a Spanish bank account, and we arrange document translations through a sworn translator.
