Villa Buying Guide
Villas Under €350K
The Spanish villa dream is possible on a budget—but you'll need to be strategic. Here's how to find quality villas under €350,000 and what trade-offs to expect.
Yes, you can absolutely buy a villa in Spain for under €350,000. But let's be realistic about what that budget gets you—and where.
Location Matters Most
Beachfront villas start at €600K+. Under €350K means inland or value-focused coasts
Size & Age Vary
Expect 3 bedrooms typical. Older renovated villas or modern compact builds
Affordable Regions Exist
Costa Blanca South and Costa Cálida offer excellent value
New Builds Available
Modern villas with pools in developing areas often under budget
The key is understanding where your money goes furthest. If you're set on a villa—with a private pool, garden, and no shared walls—you'll find them. Just not in Jávea, Moraira, or the premium Costa Blanca North towns where entry-level villas start at €500K+.
Before diving into locations, it helps to understand how to choose the right property type and what your priorities really are.
Regions
Where to Look
Spain's Mediterranean coast isn't priced uniformly. Some areas command premium prices due to established expat communities, better infrastructure, and proximity to airports. Others offer similar climate and lifestyle at significantly lower entry points.
Best Value Regions
Premium Regions (€500K+)
Costa Blanca South is particularly interesting for villa buyers. The area around Torrevieja, Orihuela Costa, and down toward the Mar Menor offers modern villas—often new builds—with private pools, 3 bedrooms, and good specifications for €220,000-€340,000.
The trade-off? These areas have more seasonal tourism, larger developments, and are generally less "exclusive" than the north. For many buyers, that's a perfectly acceptable compromise.

What €350K Gets You
At this budget, expect a solid family villa. The specifications vary by location and age, but here's what's realistic:
- Modern new builds in developing areas: contemporary design, energy efficient, compact plots
- Resale villas in established urbanizations: larger plots, may need updating
- Renovated older villas: character properties with modern interiors
The question isn't whether villas exist at this price—they do. It's whether the location and specifications match your lifestyle. For holiday use, rental potential, or retirement plans, you may prioritize different things.
If you're considering rental income, read our guide on villa vs apartment to understand the trade-offs. Apartments often yield better returns, but villas offer lifestyle benefits that matter for long-term owners.
Accept Distance from Beach
5-15 minutes by car instead of walking distance. Most villa owners drive to the beach anyway.
Consider New Build Developments
Modern specs, warranties, and lower maintenance. Often better value than resale.
Look at Resale Properties
Established gardens, larger plots, and proven locations. Budget for updates.
Explore Less Popular Towns
Same climate, same lifestyle—just fewer Michelin restaurants and golf courses.
