With its typically Mediterranean beauty, the Costa Brava is one of the most sought-after destinations in Spain, and in Europe. Its rugged coastline, maritime pines, unspoilt coves, crystal-clear water, rich history and medieval villages give the region a unique charm, and its easy-going way of life attracts families, couples and people of all ages. There is something for everyone, from stunning landscapes and coastal walks to lively evenings or a slower pace, discoveries and a rich heritage.
Popular with every nationality, the Costa Brava has a particular appeal for the French. Its proximity to France and its very affordable property market are major advantages compared with prices on the Côte d'Azur.
As well as retirees taking the plunge to enjoy their own corner of paradise in the sun, the area attracts many families because it has something for every age group. You can retire to the Costa Brava all year round, or enjoy it from time to time and make it pay, thanks to buy-to-let investment.
With very good returns, the Costa Brava property market offers affordable options for a smart investment. As well as being hugely popular in summer, the region attracts visitors all year round thanks to its mild climate.
If you would rather enjoy your holidays and long weekends in peace, you can buy a second home. That way you have access to an idyllic place whenever you like.
Property prices on the Costa Brava fell sharply after the Spanish property crash. They have risen since, but remain affordable today. Prices vary by location and type of property: luxury, new-build or resale, there are options for every budget:
Prices per m² vary widely across the Costa Brava, from under €1,500 per m² in the inland Selva area to over €4,000 per m² in the most sought-after places such as the unmistakable Cadaqués. The market has houses for every budget: a pretty villa with a pool… from €150,000 to €1,500,000 and more. We will guide you on the areas and market prices to make your purchase possible.
Whatever your dream, all you need to do is take the first step.
