Many buyers choose Maresme for sea-view family villas with pools, landscaped gardens and space to build guest houses or gyms; explore availability on Maresme houses for sale.

Villas in the Costa Brava

From Blanes and Calella de Palafrugell to Begur, Llafranc, Tamariu, S’Agaró and Platja d’Aro, the Costa Brava combines hidden coves, pine-covered hills and design-led architecture. Here you’ll find gated-community homes and cliff-top villas with infinity pools, glass facades and turnkey finishes. Start your coastal search with Costa Brava villas for sale.

Properties in Costa Dorada and Costa Garraf

South of Barcelona, Sitges, Castelldefels and Gava Mar suit buyers seeking modern new builds with beach access, large terraces and strong seasonal yields near the international airport. Many clients use these areas as a seafront alternative to the city while keeping commute times reasonable and amenities close.

Entry points vary by view, plot size and licensing. Coastal cottages often begin near €450,000; rustic fincas or golf residences around €750,000; prime family villas in Maresme or the Costa Brava typically range from €1.2 M to €3 M; signature seafront or architect-designed new builds can exceed €2.5 M.

Frequently Asked Questions

If you didn't find the answer to your question, write to us on any social network and we will gladly respond to you.

How much should I budget for a sea-view villa in Catalonia?

Entry-level coastal houses often begin near €550,000. Prime family villas in Maresme or the Costa Brava typically range from €1.2M to €3M, while architect-designed seafront homes can exceed €2.5M depending on plot, view corridor and build quality.

What are the total purchase costs beyond the price?

For new builds, plan ~10% VAT (IVA). For resales, the Property Transfer Tax (ITP) in Catalonia is generally ~10%. Allow an extra 2–3% for notary, registry and legal fees. We provide an itemized estimate before any offer.

How long does the buying process take?

Typically 6–10 weeks from reservation and arras (deposit) to notary completion, assuming clean due diligence and funds ready.

Can I buy remotely from abroad?

Yes. Around half of our clients complete every step via power of attorney. We arrange verified video tours, secure document exchange and coordinated notary signing.

What is an arras contract and how much is the deposit?

It’s a binding reservation contract in Spain. The deposit is commonly 10% of the purchase price, paid after initial checks and agreed terms.

Which region fits families best: Barcelona, Maresme or Costa Brava?

Barcelona offers top schools and urban convenience near beaches. Maresme suits year-round family living with larger plots 20–35 minutes from the city. Costa Brava prioritizes privacy, coves and architecture, popular for second homes and premium escapes.

Can I finance the purchase as a non-resident?

Many banks lend to non-residents with typical LTVs of ~50–60% and terms up to ~20–25 years, subject to income verification and risk assessment.

What due diligence do you run before I commit?

Title verification, debt and lien checks, planning/urbanism compliance, habitability/occupancy certification, technical red-flags, tax implications and contract review before arras.

Are short-term rentals allowed in these areas?

Regulations vary by municipality and building license. Some areas restrict tourist licenses; others allow only primary-residence rentals or prohibit them entirely. We verify feasibility address-by-address.

I want new build quality but can’t find it move-in ready.

Consider our land-and-build route: plot selection, architect tender, licensing and cost-controlled construction to turnkey delivery, with staged payments and site supervision.

How do you source off-market opportunities?

Through owner relationships, architects, developers and local partners. We sign NDAs when required and pre-screen terms before adding to your shortlist.

What documents do I need to buy in Spain?

A valid passport, Spanish tax number (NIE), proof of funds and, if financing, bank pre-approval. Your lawyer will also need KYC/AML documentation.

What are common pitfalls for foreign buyers?

Skipping urbanism checks, underestimating taxes/fees, relying on outdated rental rules, or negotiating without local comps. Our buyer-side process is designed to avoid these.

How do currency and payments work?

We recommend locking rates via regulated FX providers or your bank and wiring funds to the notary/escrow per the agreed timeline to minimize volatility risk.

Can you help after completion?

Yes. We handle utilities, insurance, furnishing, renovation, rental setup and resale strategy as needed, with one point of contact throughout.
