Luxury developments in Spain.
The first chapter is yours.

Luxury new build homes take many forms: villas on the Costa del Sol, penthouses in Barcelona and Madrid, modern houses along the Valencia coast. Each begins with clean lines, current standards and room to make the finishes your own.

Perhaps you want new modern houses for sale near the sea, or a penthouse above the city. Tell us where you would like to wake up, then set the location, the type of home, the space and the budget in the search.

Why choose a new build

A newly built home carries no compromises from the past. Living areas open onto terraces, glass meets the garden, and rooms follow the rhythm of a modern day rather than the habits of another era.

The advantages continue behind the walls. Insulation, glazing and climate systems are designed to current standards, which means cool rooms in summer, quiet warmth in winter and fewer surprises once you have moved in.

There is also the pleasure of choosing. Reserve early, and luxury new construction homes often let you select the stone, the timber and the kitchen before the keys are handed over.

Where new luxury homes are being built

Along the Costa del Sol, new developments around Marbella, Benahavís and Estepona favour hillside villas with wide sea views and contemporary apartments close to the beach. Further east, the Valencia region pairs a lively city with new homes on the coast at Jávea and Altea.

In and around Barcelona, new real estate is scarcer and keenly sought, from penthouses in the city to houses near Sitges. On the Balearic Islands, where land is precious, a new villa in Mallorca or Ibiza is a rarer find. Our guide to homes for sale in Spain looks at each region in more depth.

What to look at before you commit

A development is judged by more than its show home. Take your time with the details that will shape daily life for years to come. If you would rather be guided, our page on luxury estate agents explains what good advice looks like.

• The architect and builder, and homes they have already completed.
• Orientation, privacy and what could one day rise in front of your view.
• The specification: glazing, insulation, climate control and outdoor finishes.
• The shared side: gardens, security, services and community costs.
• The paperwork, which your lawyer should confirm, including licences and how stage payments are protected.
