The Costa Blanca new-build market remains active in 2026 across a broad range of price points and property types. Every project below is drawn exclusively from verified listings in the Alistora database. The overview is intended as a working reference for buyers weighing up locations, property types or the choice between off-plan and key-ready.
What you will pay beyond the purchase price
Foreign buyers purchasing new-build property in Spain (primary sale from a developer) pay VAT — IVA — at 10% of the purchase price, not the transfer tax (ITP) that applies to resale property. On top of that comes stamp duty (Actos Jurídicos Documentados), typically 0.5–1.5% depending on the autonomous community; the Valencian Community, which covers most of the projects below, sits at around 1.5%. Notary fees and land-registry inscription together typically add 0.5–1% of the purchase price. Independent legal representation runs 1–1.5%. In practice, total acquisition costs come to 13–15% above the agreed price — a figure worth building in from the start.
Every foreign buyer also needs a Spanish tax identification number — NIE (Número de Identidad de Extranjero) — before signing any contract or applying for a mortgage. A NIE can be obtained in person at a Spanish consulate in your country of residence or directly in Spain at the relevant foreigners' office. Processing times range from a few days to several weeks.
Alba Salinas 4 F2 — Orihuela Costa
Alba Salinas 4 F2 offers three-bedroom villas in Orihuela Costa, priced between €355,900 and €416,900. Orihuela Costa is a large coastal municipality roughly 50 km south of Alicante, made up of a series of urbanisations close to the beaches of Playa Flamenca and La Zenia. Alicante-Elche Airport is approximately 45–55 minutes by car; Murcia-Corvera Airport is approximately 30–40 minutes.
Villas are less common than apartments in this segment of Orihuela Costa, which is reflected in the price. The €355,900–€416,900 range corresponds to a three-bedroom detached villa format; floor areas are not specified in the available data. Shared pool or communal facilities are not listed for this project — buyers should verify this directly in the project documentation.
Residencial Victoria IV Apartamentos — Dénia
Dénia sits at the northern end of the Costa Blanca, roughly 100 km north of Alicante. Residencial Victoria IV Apartamentos offers three-bedroom apartments and penthouses priced from €449,000 to €499,000. The project includes a pool. Dénia differs in character from the southern Costa Blanca: it is a mixed town with a year-round Spanish population, a regular ferry service to Ibiza and Mallorca from the Port of Dénia, and its own airport (Aeropuerto de Dénia — the current service status is not confirmed in the available data and should be checked independently).
Penthouses make up the upper end of the €449,000–€499,000 range; ground-floor apartments typically sit at the lower end. A pool is confirmed; no other communal areas are specified in the data.
Intercosta Sun Bay — Torrevieja
Torrevieja lies roughly 40 km south of Alicante and has a large established international community. Intercosta Sun Bay offers two- and three-bedroom apartments and penthouses across a wide price range: €299,000 to €469,000. The project includes a pool.
The €170,000 spread between the lowest and highest price points suggests that the bottom of the range corresponds to two-bedroom apartments on lower floors, and the top to three-bedroom penthouses. Exact floor areas are not included in the available data. Alicante-Elche Airport is approximately 40 minutes by car.
Green Garden Building V — Pilar de la Horadada
Green Garden Building V in Pilar de la Horadada is the most affordable project in this selection: a three-bedroom bungalow at a fixed price of €289,900. The project includes a pool.
Pilar de la Horadada sits at the southern tip of the Costa Blanca, immediately adjoining the Region of Murcia, roughly 60 km from Alicante-Elche Airport and 25–30 km from Murcia-Corvera Airport. Typologically, bungalows — single-storey or low-rise construction — are a well-established format in this area, used both as primary residences and holiday homes. The fixed price (€289,900, no range) indicates either a single standardised unit type or the last remaining type within the project.
Villas de Loix – Tipo 3 — Benidorm
At the opposite end of the price spectrum is Villas de Loix – Tipo 3 in Benidorm: a three-bedroom villa at €1,080,000. Benidorm's position within its bay and its skyline set it apart from the rest of the Costa Blanca — it is a densely built, high-rise resort with year-round tourism infrastructure and a significantly higher development density than Orihuela Costa or Pilar de la Horadada. A villa in this setting is therefore considerably rarer than an apartment and represents a distinct asset category.
For context, €1,080,000 would buy approximately three villas at the top of the price range in Alba Salinas 4 F2 in Orihuela Costa. Buyers in this segment should pay particular attention to plot boundaries, views and the specific position within the Loix urbanisation.
Off-plan vs. key-ready: what to expect
For a project still under construction (off-plan), the typical sequence is a reservation deposit (usually €3,000–€10,000), followed by staged payments tied to construction milestones, with the balance due on signing the notarial deed (escritura). By law, stage payments must be covered by a bank guarantee or insurance policy. With a key-ready property the transaction moves faster, but there is generally no scope to influence finishes or layout.
The construction status of all five projects listed above should be confirmed directly — the data in this overview does not specify current build stage.
