According to the esteemed valuers and consultants at Grupo Tecnitasa, the average value of luxury properties in this picturesque region now stands at a staggering €4.36 million.

In contrast, the Balearic Islands and Malaga province have seen more modest rises of 3.62% and 3.17%.

The report elucidates that the luxury market is predominantly concentrated in select areas characterized by dramatic mountainous landscapes and striking cliffs, including the charming locales of Altea, Teulada-Moraira, Benissa, and Calpe.

Interestingly, the Balearic Islands reign supreme in terms of luxury pricing, with Ibiza achieving the highest average price per square meter at €14,500. The most extravagant property, located in Pollenca, commands an eye-watering €50.6 million. The appetite for luxury homes in Spain has seen a significant uptick in recent years, with the Balearic Islands, Madrid, Barcelona, and Malaga emerging as clear benchmarks in the luxury real estate sector. Meanwhile, regions such as Girona, the Canary Islands, Cadiz, and notably Alicante are increasingly being recognized as relevant players in this opulent market.

The report further posits that the definition of luxury homes has evolved beyond mere location, material quality, or size. Today, these properties are increasingly valued for their adaptability to contemporary lifestyles, which prioritize personalization, discreet luxury, and energy efficiency. Such attributes not only enhance well-being but also promote a more sustainable way of living, underscoring a growing ecological consciousness among affluent buyers.
