About this property
Santa Pola sits at the southern fold of the Costa Blanca, where the sprawl tightens back into something resembling a town. This new-build apartment in Gran Playa puts you at the water's edge, within sight of the working fishing boats and the kind of morning light that justifies a six-week escape from northern Europe in winter. The flat itself spans 64 m² across three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and an open kitchen-living zone that flows onto a terrace — the kind of ratio that works for a couple with the occasional visitor, or a small family learning to live lightly. The finish is restrained: large-format porcelain tiling, pale wood and white joinery, pre-installation for ducted air-conditioning, underfloor heating in the bathrooms, and a thermal envelope that keeps the summer heat manageable without strain. The building offers a communal pool and landscaped gardens facing the water, with a covered parking space included in the purchase. Santa Pola has that small-port authenticity that the larger Costa towns have mostly traded away. The harbour runs along the northern waterfront, where a handful of fish restaurants serve the catch directly, still tasting of salt and effort. The town's beaches are modest and well-kept; the old fortified town centre, with its narrow lanes and church, sits a ten-minute walk from Gran Playa. Alicante Airport is thirty-five to forty minutes by car, putting you within reach of Spain's second-largest hub without the chaos of the bigger Costa resorts. The Tabarca Island ferry runs from the harbour during summer months. This suits someone buying a coastal pied-à-terre on a realistic budget, or a remote worker seeking a Mediterranean base during the quieter months. Three bedrooms at under €300,000, steps from the water and within a functioning town rather than a tourist-coded development, still represents value in this part of Alicante. The rental income potential through summer weeks is solid for anyone thinking of the property as part-investment. Handover is expected within 12–18 months from the current build phase.
