Properties for sale in Costa Brava

Property prices on the Costa Brava

Property prices on the Costa Brava vary sharply by property type — from a compact flat in Platja d'Aro to a cliffside villa overlooking a bay. Use the table as a guide:

Separately, check apartments on the Costa Brava and town houses on the Costa Brava — both formats are uncommon on this coast, though the selection updates regularly. On a tighter budget, the cheap property on the Costa Brava selection covers the most affordable listings.

The cost of property on the Costa Brava is climbing faster than the Catalan average: in Girona province, the average price reached €2,636 per square metre in November 2025, up 8.6% on the year before. In the most exclusive spots, such as Begur and Cadaqués, growth runs even higher, 6–8% a year, as new coastal building is kept tightly restricted.

Prices on the site are also shown in other currencies for reference, though the contract payment is always fixed in euros.

Popular areas to buy property on the Costa Brava

Every one of these areas feeds into the same catalogue of properties for sale on the Costa Brava, so it's worth comparing more than one before deciding:

• Begur — cliffs and coves (calas), the most expensive villas on the whole coast

• Platja d'Aro — a large, built-up resort with developed infrastructure and beaches

• Tossa de Mar and Lloret de Mar — classic Mediterranean towns with a steady flow of tourists

• Pals and Calella de Palafrugell — quieter and cheaper, Catalan character without the crowds

Real estate for sale on the Costa Brava is cheaper in Pals or Calella de Palafrugell than in Begur — the difference on comparable properties can reach 30–40% — and the sea is a 10–15 minute drive from almost anywhere.

Advantages of buying property on the Costa Brava

Property on the Costa Brava comes with its own set of arguments, compared with the more developed resorts of southern Spain:

• the market is open to foreign buyers without restriction — the only requirement is an NIE, issued in 1–2 weeks

• two airports within an hour and a half — Girona-Costa Brava and Barcelona El Prat

• strict protection against mass development along the coast — a sea view won't be blocked by a new high-rise

• France and the Pyrenees are 1–2 hours away by car

Property for sale on the Costa Brava for permanent residence appeals because the resort stays a resort even out of season — small towns here don't turn into building sites in winter the way they can further south. That same limited development also works in favour of anyone considering a purchase for investment, permanent residence or rental income — rental prices stay stable from one year to the next.

Property on the Costa Brava for expats also draws families relocating from abroad, usually people who've already spent a holiday here and decided not to stop at that. Catalan isn't a requirement — Spanish is understood everywhere, and the agency handles both the NIE and the rest of the paperwork.

Property on the Costa Brava for investment

Investing in property on the Costa Brava most often means either letting out a finished villa or apartment through the high season, or buying new buildings on the Costa Brava at an early stage, where the entry price is usually lower than for a finished property in the same bay.

Investment real estate on the Costa Brava also has a distinct segment in commercial property on the Costa Brava: hotels, restaurants and small guesthouses, priced from €750,000 well into the millions. The full national off-plan range sits under properties in Spain from the developer Alegría, and resale listings across every region together make up the site's full Property in Spain catalogue.
