Houses and apartments at early construction stages, at developer prices.
Guardamar del Segura sits where the river Segura meets the Mediterranean, wrapped by more than 11 kilometres of protected dune beaches and pine forest planted over a century ago to stabilise the dunes. It is widely regarded as one of the most natural and authentically Spanish towns on the Costa Blanca South.
New build apartments, houses and villas in Guardamar combine that natural setting with a real working town — weekly markets, traditional plazas and a relaxed pace — while still being only around 30 minutes from Alicante airport. The result is a destination that appeals to buyers who want the coast without the high-rise resort feel.

New Builds in Guardamar del Segura — Complete Buyer's Guide
Everything you need to know about buying a new build in Guardamar del Segura — areas, prices, the buying process, costs and guarantees.
How much do new build apartments in Guardamar del Segura cost in 2026?+
New build apartments in Guardamar del Segura start from around €239,000 for a 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom apartment. Larger units, premium homes and penthouses cost more. Final prices depend on the development, the floor and proximity to the beach or pine forest — contact us for the current price list and availability.
What makes Guardamar del Segura different from other Costa Blanca towns?+
Guardamar's defining feature is its natural setting. The town sits where the River Segura meets the Mediterranean, with around 11 kilometres of beaches backed not by high-rise blocks but by a vast pine forest planted over the old sand dunes in the 1890s. It is also a genuinely Spanish working town — weekly markets, traditional plazas, long-running fiestas — with a smaller, more integrated international community than the bigger resorts. Buyers often choose Guardamar specifically for that authenticity and greenery.
Where are the new build areas in Guardamar del Segura?+
Most new build activity is in El Raso, a large, well-established residential area on the edge of town with its own amenities, popular with families and known for good value. There are also newer developments closer to the town centre and the beach, and around the marina (Puerto Deportivo) area. The town pueblo zone has smaller-scale apartment buildings within walking distance of shops and the seafront. Each area has a slightly different character, from self-contained urbanisation living to walk-to-the-beach convenience.
Is Guardamar a good investment compared to Torrevieja?+
Guardamar's appeal as an investment is value plus environment: properties are commonly 15–30% cheaper than comparable homes in Torrevieja or Orihuela Costa, while the beaches and natural surroundings are arguably superior. The trade-off is that Guardamar is quieter and less commercially developed, with a smaller tourist scene, so rental demand is steadier rather than intense. It tends to suit buyers who value long-term quality and natural setting over maximum short-term rental turnover. Treat any specific yield figure as something to verify locally.
What is the difference between off-plan and key-ready new builds?+
Off-plan means buying before or during construction — typically cheaper, with more choice of units and sometimes a say in finishes, but you wait and pay in stages. Key-ready means the home is finished and available to move into now — more expensive, less choice, but no waiting and no uncertainty. Guardamar has both. Some El Raso developments are sold in phases, so a single complex may offer key-ready units in completed phases alongside off-plan units in newer ones.
How does the payment schedule work for an off-plan home in Guardamar?+
Off-plan homes are paid in instalments. Expect a reservation fee, then a deposit on signing the private purchase contract, then stage payments tied to construction progress, with the balance at completion before the notary. Spanish law requires the developer to protect your staged payments with a bank guarantee or insurance policy. Before paying any money, confirm in writing that this protection is in place — your independent lawyer should check this as a matter of course.
What are the beaches like in Guardamar del Segura?+
Guardamar's beaches are among the most natural on the Costa Blanca. The roughly 11 kilometres of coastline are backed by protected pine forest and dunes rather than development, and the central beach holds Blue Flag status. The water quality is generally regarded as excellent. The same dune-and-forest environment is home to wildlife including nesting turtles in marked summer zones, and flamingos can be seen at the nearby wetlands. For buyers who want beach access without a wall of high-rises, this is a major draw.
How far is Guardamar from the airport and other towns?+
Alicante-Elche Airport is around 30–35 minutes from Guardamar by car along the A-7, making it one of the more convenient towns on the coast for travel. Murcia-Corvera Airport is roughly 50 minutes south. Torrevieja is about 15–20 minutes away and Santa Pola a similar distance north, so larger shopping and amenities are easily reached while Guardamar itself keeps a calmer pace.
What is El Raso and why is it popular for new builds?+
El Raso is a large, self-contained residential urbanisation in Guardamar and the focus of much of its new build activity. Its appeal is a combination of value pricing, amenities on the doorstep — shops, bars, green areas, communal pools — and a family-friendly, community feel. Developments there are often built and sold in phases, so buyers can find both finished key-ready apartments and off-plan units in the same area. It is well suited to those who want an easy, ready-made community rather than a town-centre location.
What extra costs should I budget on top of the purchase price?+
For a new build in Guardamar, as elsewhere in the Valencia region, budget roughly 12–14% on top of the price. This covers VAT (IVA) at 10%, stamp duty (AJD) at 1.4% (reduced from 1.5% under the June 2026 Valencian reform) — notary fees of around €600–€1,200, land registry fees of roughly €400–€900, and an independent lawyer at about 1% plus VAT. Confirm the exact figures with your lawyer, as small variations apply depending on the property and deed.
Do I need an NIE number and a Spanish bank account?+
Yes to the NIE — the foreigner identification number is required for buying property, paying taxes and connecting utilities. A Spanish bank account is not strictly mandatory but is strongly recommended and in practice almost always used, as it makes paying for the property, taxes, community fees and utility bills far simpler. Many buyers give their lawyer power of attorney so these steps can be handled even when they are not in Spain.
Can non-residents get a mortgage on a Guardamar new build?+
Yes. Spanish banks lend to non-residents, typically up to around 60–70% of the price or valuation, with the buyer covering the remainder and the purchase costs. The bank will look at your income and financial commitments. For off-plan purchases the mortgage is generally finalised near completion. Because Guardamar's entry prices are relatively low, the cash amounts involved are often smaller than in pricier coastal towns, but it is still wise to confirm your borrowing capacity early.
Is Guardamar del Segura a good place to live year-round?+
Guardamar works well as a permanent home for people who value a calmer, more authentically Spanish setting. It has a substantial year-round population and a full set of services — health centre, schools, weekly market, shops and an active town life — so it does not empty out off-season. The flat terrain and extensive cycling and walking paths make day-to-day life easy, and the natural surroundings are a year-round asset. It is quieter than Torrevieja, which most Guardamar buyers consider a positive.
What new build property types are available in Guardamar?+
Guardamar offers apartments, penthouses with solariums, townhouses and detached or semi-detached villas. Apartments — often in gated complexes with communal pools — are the most common new build, particularly in El Raso. Villas and townhouses are available both near the town and in surrounding residential areas, including some larger semi-detached homes near the coast. Supply of new builds is relatively limited, which supports values, so well-located units tend to be taken up steadily.
What guarantees and licences come with a new build in Guardamar?+
New builds in Spain carry legally mandated developer warranties, the most important being a ten-year structural guarantee, plus shorter cover for installations and finishes. The property must also have its Licencia de Primera Ocupación (first occupation licence) and habitation certificate before it can legally be occupied and before utilities are connected in your name. Your independent lawyer should verify all licences, guarantees and that the staged-payment bank guarantee was in place — this checking is a core reason to instruct your own lawyer rather than rely on the developer's.
