Best Areas to Buy in Benitachell
Cumbre del Sol
The largest and most popular urbanisation, Cumbre del Sol spans the hillside between Benitachell and the coast. Properties here range from apartments to substantial villas, many with direct sea views across to Ibiza on clear days. The area has its own commercial centre with supermarkets, restaurants, and services. Access to Cala Moraig beach is within the development. Best for: Sea view seekers, holiday home buyers, rental investors.
Les Fonts
A quieter residential area closer to the village centre, Les Fonts offers a mix of older villas and newer constructions. The atmosphere is more residential than touristy, attracting permanent residents. Properties often feature larger gardens and established vegetation. Best for: Year-round residents, families wanting proximity to village life.
Golden Valley
Between Les Fonts and Cumbre del Sol, Golden Valley provides a middle ground with good sea views and reasonable proximity to both the coast and village. Development density is lower here, offering privacy and peaceful surroundings. Best for: Those wanting balance between views and village access.
Town Centre & Countryside
The village centre offers traditional townhouses and apartments with authentic Spanish atmosphere. Surrounding countryside provides options for those wanting rural properties with land. These areas suit buyers prioritising authenticity over sea views. Best for: Culture seekers, those wanting Spanish village life, buyers with larger land requirements.
Property Prices and Investment Potential
Benitachell offers genuine value compared to its neighbours. Apartments with sea views start from around €150,000, while three-bedroom villas for sale with pools typically range from €350,000 to €600,000. Luxury villas in prime positions can exceed €1 million, though these remain more affordable than equivalent properties in Jávea or Moraira.
Rental Investment: Holiday rentals perform well, particularly in Cumbre del Sol with its beach access and amenities. Peak season (June-September) sees strong occupancy, and the shoulder months attract visitors enjoying the pleasant climate. A tourist licence is required for short-term rentals—your lawyer can advise on current regulations.

Do Before Buying
Common Mistakes
Practical Considerations: A car is essential in Benitachell—public transport is limited. Some urbanisation roads are steep and winding, so visit properties at different times to assess access. Internet speeds vary by location; check connectivity if remote working is important.
The buying process follows standard Spanish procedures: obtain your NIE, engage a lawyer, sign reservation and purchase contracts, and complete before a notary. Budget approximately 12-14% of the purchase price for taxes and fees on resale properties, or around 15% for new builds. Our first-time buyer guide covers the complete process.
