84% of Britons prefer the Costa del Sol, new figures reveal
Leading Spanish home builder Taylor Wimpey España has revealed that 84% of Britons reserving homes with the company are choosing to do so in the Costa del Sol. While the firm’s properties in Mallorca and the Costa Blanca are attracting keen interest from buyers across the rest of Europe and beyond, it is the Costa del Sol that Britons have firmly in their sights.
“The Costa del Sol holds enormous appeal for British second home buyers and expats. It offers everything from relaxed beach life to vibrant cities, as well as outstanding golf courses and other recreational amenities that make the most of the outdoor lifestyle. It’s an easy region to fall in love with – as happens for so many of those who visit the Costa del Sol for their holidays and then find they want a deeper, longer-term connection with the area.”

Key-ready homes by the sea hold particular appeal for British buyers eager to enjoy the Spanish sunshine, according to the Taylor Wimpey España team. The firm’s current selection of key-ready properties highlights the diversity on offer in the Costa del Sol. Homes range from lakeside penthouses (at Marbella Lake – prices from €950,000 plus VAT) to golf homes with sea and mountain views (at Emerald Greens, where prices start from €375,000 plus VAT for a two-bedroom apartment and from €640,000 plus VAT for a penthouse).
Spacious terraces, rooftop solariums and swimming pools are key requirements of many Britons buying in Spain. After more than 65 years of building holiday homes in the Costa del Sol and elsewhere, Taylor Wimpey España incorporates such elements as core parts of its development designs. In recent years, the firm has also taken a leading role in creating highly sustainable homes.
Rated ‘A’ for its energy efficiency, Almazara Hills in Istán is a shining example of this. The apartments feature aerothermal heating, double glazed windows, LED spotlights, pre-installation for electric vehicles and water-saving and electricity-saving measures in communal areas. Located on the slopes of La Concha, in the Sierra de las Nieves, the homes also offer exceptional views of the surrounding area of natura beauty, which encompasses ancient forests and panoramic views of Marbella Bay and the great Istán reservoir. The last penthouses at the development are priced from €520,000 plus VAT.
In addition to homes with sea views, golf course homes are the inspiration for many Britons buying property in the Costa del Sol. Sunny Golf, where apartments overlook Estepona golf course and large communal pool, has seen British buyers snap up homes available in its first and second buildings. The third phase of apartments is now available. Prices start from €310,000 plus VAT.
