▷Cheap Property in Alicante? Or Guardamar?

Dreaming of a seaside home for €20,000? Welcome to reality, where such deals exist… only in 2008 articles or in the form of a roofless shack. It’s time to bust the myth: property in Alicante hasn’t been cheap for a long time.

But just nearby, there’s Guardamar del Segura – a place where you can still buy an apartment by the sea without feeling like you’ve just been robbed per square meter.

Real Prices, No Illusions

Here’s how things look in May 2025:

Alicante (city): on average €2,321/m². A decent apartment near the sea will cost you at least €185,000.
Guardamar del Segura: around €1,750/m². Here, 80 m² with a terrace and a view of pine trees will set you back €140,000 – and you're right by the sea.

Location	Avg. price per m²	80 m² Apartment
Alicante	€2,321	≈ €185,000
Guardamar del Segura	€1,750	≈ €140,000

Why Are Guardamar Prices Still Reasonable?

Less hype, more quality
Alicante is a tourist brand. Guardamar is for those in the know. It offers pristine Blue Flag beaches, protected dunes, pine forests, and no July crowds.

Peace and seaside living
El Raso, Los Estaños, Campomar – cozy neighborhoods where you won’t hear people shouting “everything for 1 euro” under your window. And the beach is just 10 minutes away.

Infrastructure
Shops, schools, health centers, a local market, buses to Alicante – everything you need is here. But without the city chaos and traffic.

Real Stories

Carlos from Madrid was looking for a “cheap seaside apartment in Spain.” He found one for €30,000… in a village without water or windows. Then he contacted us at Naranja Spain and bought an apartment in Guardamar with a terrace, pool, and pine trees outside the window. Now he sips his coffee and laughs whenever he sees “house for 20k” listings.

Susan from London had planned to buy in Alicante but was shocked by the prices. She browsed naranjaspain.es and found a villa in Guardamar for the same price as a two-bedroom flat in Alicante’s outskirts. Now half of her London office is jealous.
