Luxury Townhouses for Sale in Spain — Modern Living Close to the Sea in Barcelona, Maresme and Costa Brava

Buying a townhouse in Spain is more than acquiring real estate; it is a lifestyle investment. Spain offers an exceptional balance of Mediterranean climate, modern infrastructure, and long-term stability in the property market. From cosmopolitan Barcelona to the picturesque coasts of Costa Brava and the green hills of Maresme and Sant Cugat del Valles, townhouses for sale in Barcelona, Maresme and Costa Brava are increasingly in demand among families, professionals, and international investors. Our focus is on prime townhouse locations in Barcelona city, the Maresme Coast and key Costa Brava towns, with curated on- and off-market options available to qualified buyers.

Whether you are looking for a second home by the sea, a permanent residence close to international schools, or a retreat near golf courses and nature, Catalonia provides options that combine comfort, accessibility, and quality of life. With its unique blend of seaside towns, mountain landscapes, and proximity to Barcelona, this region remains one of the most desirable places to buy property in Spain. We specialize in matching buyers with townhouses that balance commute times to Barcelona, top schools, and walkable beach or village amenities.

Why Buy a Townhouse in Catalonia

Townhouses for sale in Spain, and especially in Catalonia, offer the perfect compromise between privacy and community. Buyers can enjoy the independence of a multi-level home with a private entrance, garden, or rooftop terrace, while also benefiting from shared amenities such as swimming pools, gyms, or secure gated complexes. This combination makes townhouses an attractive alternative to both apartments and detached houses for sale in Spain. In Barcelona, Maresme and Costa Brava, townhouse communities often include landscaped zones, 24h security and energy-efficient upgrades, supporting lower running costs and higher comfort.

Lifestyle is a major factor. Along the Mediterranean coast, towns such as Gava Mar, Sitges, Sant Antoni de Calonge and Palamós provide direct access to sandy beaches, promenades, and seaside cafés. Inland, areas like Sant Cugat del Valles and Maresme are surrounded by natural parks, golf courses, and hiking trails, creating an ideal setting for families and outdoor enthusiasts. All of these locations are conveniently connected to Barcelona’s city center and international airport, usually within 15 to 60 minutes. Demand is strongest for seaview Maresme villages (Alella, Premia, Cabrils) and well-connected Costa Brava towns with year-round services.

Features and Market Overview

A townhouse in Spain is typically a multi-level private home that combines the advantages of an apartment and a villa. Most properties include three to five bedrooms, private gardens or terraces, and underground parking. Shared facilities often include swimming pools, landscaped gardens, and 24-hour security. These features make townhouses ideal for families seeking space, retirees looking for comfort, or investors searching for properties with high rental potential. Modern builds frequently offer A-rated efficiency, solar, EV charging, and smart-home systems, which improve liquidity and rental appeal.

Prices for townhouses in Catalonia vary significantly depending on location and proximity to the sea or city. In Sant Cugat del Valles, townhouses usually range from €650,000 to €1.8 million, offering large homes close to schools and golf courses. In Gava Mar, beachfront townhouses are priced from €950,000 to €2.5 million, reflecting their exclusive location and sea views. On the Maresme Coast, townhouses with sea views range from €600,000 to €1.5 million, while in Costa Brava, properties start from around €500,000 in towns like Palamós and reach more than €2 million in luxury enclaves such as Begur. Central or hillside Barcelona townhouses start from approximately €850,000 and above. Select trophy townhouses in premium Barcelona zones or frontline Maresme/Costa Brava can exceed these ranges due to plot size, views and recent renovation quality.

This diversity ensures that buyers can find options suited to different budgets and goals, whether they prefer city living, coastal retreats, or green surroundings. Our team pre-screens legal and technical documentation to ensure each townhouse is a safe, long-term purchase.

Popular Areas for Townhouses in Spain

Barcelona remains a prime location for those who want to combine urban convenience with the privacy of a townhouse. Areas such as Sarria, Gracia, Vallvidrera and Horta-Guinardó offer multi-level homes with terraces overlooking the city, while other districts provide modern developments within easy reach of schools and business hubs. Well-served Eixample fringes and Poblenou also feature niche townhouse-style units in rehabilitated projects.

Sant Cugat del Valles has become one of the most sought-after residential areas, attracting families who value green surroundings, international schools, and proximity to golf clubs. Maresme appeals to those who want more space without losing access to the city; Gava Mar is a luxury coastal destination where townhouses combine private gardens, direct beach access, and exclusive community facilities. On the Costa Brava, buyers prioritize walkability, proximity to marinas and beaches, and noise-controlled streets for year-round living.
