Costa Blanca North—stretching from Dénia in the north to Altea and Calpe in the south—is one of Spain's most sought-after coastal property markets. Backed by the Montgó massif and the Sierra de Bérnia mountains, this coastline combines dramatic scenery with a well-established international community, excellent healthcare infrastructure, and reliable transport links via Alicante-Elche airport, roughly 80 kilometres to the south.

The average price per square metre across the region sits around €2,500, though this varies significantly by municipality. Jávea and Moraira command the highest premiums, driven by strong Scandinavian, British, and Dutch demand. Towns like Calpe and Dénia offer lower entry points while still delivering the core appeal: over 300 days of sunshine, proximity to beaches, and access to Spain's public healthcare system for registered residents. This article breaks down current pricing town by town, identifies the key factors that move prices, and provides practical context for buyers benchmarking value across the region.

Average property prices across Costa Blanca North municipalities (2025 data)

Jávea leads the region in both absolute pricing and sustained demand. Its combination of three distinct zones—the historic Old Town, the Arenal beach area, and the port—creates micro-markets within the town itself. Arenal beachfront apartments command the highest per-square-metre rates, while inland properties near Montgó offer better value with mountain views.

Moraira, smaller and quieter, attracts buyers seeking privacy and established luxury. Limited building land keeps supply constrained, supporting steady price growth. Altea, known for its whitewashed old town and thriving arts scene, has seen growing interest from buyers drawn to its cultural character—prices here have risen notably over the past two years.

Calpe offers a compelling middle ground: lower entry prices than Jávea or Moraira, strong rental demand driven by the iconic Peñón de Ifach landmark, and improving infrastructure. Dénia, the region's northernmost major town and the gateway to the Balearics via ferry, appeals strongly to families and long-term residents. Benissa, positioned between Calpe and Moraira along the scenic coastal road, delivers some of the region's best value with access to hidden coves and a quieter pace of life.

Location and Views

Sea views add 25–40% over inland equivalents. South-facing orientation and walking distance to beaches or town centres push premiums further.

New Build vs Resale

New builds carry a 15–25% premium but include 10-year structural warranties, modern energy ratings, and contemporary layouts. Quality resales offer larger plots and mature gardens.

International Demand

Foreign buyers account for over 34% of Alicante province transactions. Scandinavian, British, Dutch, and German buyers dominate Costa Blanca North purchasing activity.

Rental Potential

Holiday rental yields of 4–6% gross are common in Jávea and Calpe. Strong summer demand from Northern European tourists supports investor returns from May through October.

The distinction between investment and lifestyle buying is less clear-cut here than in other Spanish coastal markets. Many buyers in the €300,000 to €600,000 range purchase properties they intend to use personally for part of the year while generating rental income during peak summer months. This dual-use model works particularly well in Jávea, Calpe, and Moraira, where holiday rental demand is robust.

Compared to other Spanish coastal markets, Costa Blanca North occupies a clear middle ground. The Costa del Sol around Marbella commands €3,500 to €5,000 per square metre for equivalent properties, while Costa Blanca South offers entry from around €1,300 per square metre. Valencia city, just an hour north, averages roughly €2,100 per square metre but offers a fundamentally different, urban lifestyle.
