British buyers show interest in move-in-ready golf homes along Spain’s Costa del Sol

British buyers are showing interest in ready-to-occupy residential properties located within golf resorts along Spain’s Costa del Sol, driven by lifestyle preferences, year-round sunshine and investment considerations, according to homebuilder Taylor Wimpey España.

The company has reported demand from holidaymakers, remote workers and retirees seeking properties that offer access to golf facilities, leisure amenities and established residential communities.

Its developments include Solana Village at La Cala Golf in Mijas, with two- and three-bedroom homes priced from EUR 400,000 plus VAT, and Altura 160 in Benahavis, where homes start at EUR 499,000 plus VAT.

Both developments offer access to golf courses and community amenities, while also providing connectivity to beaches, shopping centres, schools and international airports.

British property buyers are showing interest in move-in-ready residential properties at golf resorts along Spain’s Costa del Sol, with lifestyle considerations, location advantages and investment potential contributing to demand, according to homebuilder Taylor Wimpey España.

The company reported interest from holidaymakers, remote workers and retirees looking to purchase homes in the region, where favourable weather conditions also support golf tourism during the autumn and winter months.

Spain received approximately 11.07 million international tourists during November and December last year, with destinations such as the Costa del Sol attracting visitors interested in golf and other leisure activities. Some visitors are also considering property purchases to establish a longer-term presence in the region.

Marc Pritchard, Sales and Marketing Director at Taylor Wimpey España, said British buyers were attracted to golf resort properties by their location, surrounding landscapes and access to sunshine throughout much of the year.

He noted that buyers were also considering the investment potential of Spanish golf properties as part of their wealth planning and retirement arrangements.

The company has reported interest across different buyer categories, including holiday homeowners, people working remotely and retirees.

Its ready-to-occupy properties are intended to allow purchasers to take possession without waiting for construction to be completed, while providing access to the recreational and social facilities available within golf resort communities.

One of the developments is Solana Village at La Cala Golf in Mijas, Malaga. Located on elevated terrain overlooking the Europa Golf Course, the development is situated close to the resort’s clubhouse. The project offers two- and three-bedroom homes priced from EUR 400,000 plus value-added tax (VAT).

The residential development includes panoramic views of the golf course, an adult swimming pool, a separate splash pool for infants and landscaped communal gardens overlooking the valley. The beach is approximately 7 km away, providing residents with access to the coastal area alongside the golf facilities.

Apart from proximity to golf courses, buyers are also considering access to everyday amenities and transport infrastructure. Restaurants, supermarkets, schools, leisure facilities and road connectivity are among the factors influencing property searches, according to Pritchard.

Taylor Wimpey España’s Altura 160 development in Benahavis caters to these requirements through its location within Hacienda del Señorío de Cifuentes. The residential complex includes four swimming pools, landscaped gardens, fountains, a bar, a coworking area and a gym.

The development is approximately five minutes by car from the Guadalmina Alta shopping centre and Atalaya International School. The town of Benahavis, which has several restaurants, is also around five minutes away. Puerto Banús and San Pedro Alcántara can be reached in approximately 15 minutes, while Malaga and Gibraltar international airports are around 50 minutes away. Several golf courses are located within a 5 km radius.

Ready-to-occupy homes at Altura 160 are priced from EUR 499,000 plus VAT and offer panoramic sea views. The company has made show apartments available at both Solana Village and Altura 160 for in-person and virtual viewings during the autumn season.
