Costa Blanca emerges as a distinctive residential region with a climate of nearly constant sunshine, boasting 244 kilometers of beaches, coves, and cliffs. The area shapes the Alicante province, making it one of the most sought after spots for buying a second home or even a primary residence.
This enclave supports a healthy lifestyle and proves attractive for remote work. As a result, VIVA Sotheby’s International Realty (SIR), a North American luxury real estate specialist, is expanding its footprint to serve international buyers who maintain offices in Alicante from this week.
Costa Blanca will become the seventh VIVA SIR center in Spain and the eleventh within the Sotheby’s International Realty network. It marks the first office opened by this franchise outside of the Balearic Islands and Madrid, where the brand currently operates.
Some of its most exclusive offerings are newly built villas.
The luxury housing market on the Costa Blanca continues to grow, driven by strong demand and a consistently high standard of living.
