Search propertiesEach stretch of the Spanish coast has its own character. The Costa Blanca, in the Valencia region, is a coast of pine-covered headlands and coves around Altea, Jávea and Moraira. The Costa del Sol, in Andalusia, gathers Marbella, Estepona and Benahavís beneath the mountains. Choose your shore, then search by location, type of home and budget.
Villas by the sea on the Costa Blanca and the Costa del Sol
On the Costa Blanca, premium villas tend to sit on the hillsides above the water. In Altea, white houses climb towards the old church and its blue-tiled dome, with views across the bay. Around Jávea and Moraira, homes look over rocky coves and clear sea, and the Montgó rises behind Jávea.
On the Costa del Sol, the choice runs from frontline villas near the beach to estates in the hills. Marbella's Golden Mile links the town with Puerto Banús, while La Zagaleta, in Benahavís, offers seclusion behind its gates. Estepona keeps a calmer rhythm along the same stretch of sea.

Choosing your coast
The Costa Blanca tends to feel more intimate: smaller towns, long lunches, a coastline of cliffs and coves. The Costa del Sol is more international, with golf, marinas and a social life that barely pauses in winter.
The Costa del Sol has a page of its own, with Marbella and the towns around it. For the wider picture, the Valencia region, Andalusia, Catalonia and the Balearic Islands each have their own guide.

Questions,
answered.
Is the Costa Blanca quieter than the Costa del Sol?
In general, yes. The northern Costa Blanca, around Altea, Jávea and Moraira, keeps a village pace, while the Costa del Sol around Marbella has a busier, more international scene.
What does frontline mean for a villa by the sea?
It usually describes a home with nothing between the plot and the beach. The term is used loosely, so walk the route to the water and check the plans before you rely on it.
