Why buy a property on the Costa Blanca?
The Costa Blanca South, particularly the Alicante province, offers one of the healthiest climates globally, as recognised by the World Health Organisation.
This is attributed to its mild weather year-round and low humidity levels, influenced by the drying effect of the salt lakes.
The climate has proven beneficial for individuals with conditions like arthritis, as the absence of cold and dampness alleviates symptoms, prompting many to relocate or invest in holiday homes in the area.
The region boasts a subtropical Mediterranean climate, providing approximately 3000 hours of sunshine annually and an average temperature exceeding 20°C.
Sea breezes cool the summer heat, while surrounding mountains shield from cold northern winds in winter, resulting in up to 325 sunny days each year.
The Costa Blanca spans 200 kilometres of coastline in Alicante, earning it the moniker “The White Coast.”
Its stunning beaches, including Guardamar Del Segura, La Mata, La Marina, and Orihuela Costa Resorts, offer ample options for relaxation and recreation.
Golf enthusiasts will find a diverse selection of courses in the Costa Blanca South catering to all skill levels.
From beginner-friendly courses to championship-level venues like Las Ramblas, Dehesa de Campoamor, Villamartin, La Finca, Las Colinas, and La Marquesa, there’s something for everyone.
The affordability of properties in the Costa Blanca South makes it an attractive option for buyers seeking holiday homes or permanent residences.
Buyers often find they can get more value for their money compared to other regions.
