Almeria is an idea place for property investment with its perennial sunshine hours and more affordable prices than the Costa del Sol, so here is a list of best places to live in this coastal Andalucían paradise.
Almeria in the southeast of Spain, in the autonomous community of Andalucia, is an undiscovered paradise. Despite being not as well known as its bigger brother, the Costa del Sol – famed for being a hub for foreigners investing in luxury property – Almeria holds its own with year-round sunny climate, stunning beaches, and a relaxed lifestyle. If you are thinking of acquiring a property in this region, it is essential to have an idea of the best areas for making an investment, tailored to your wants and needs.
Mojácar famed for its beautiful beaches and international, vibrant vibe
Mojácar is a place known for the beauty of its beaches and the dynamism of its international community. It is famed for its sandy beaches and vibrant lifestyle with beach bars, pubs and restaurants with live music. This is a place, where those looking for an international vibe made up of Brits, Germans, Belgians, and Scandinavians can enjoy an active social life, whilst always being close to a sandy beach bathed by the Mediterranean Sea.
Arboleas is a different kettle of fish. If the beach scene is not for you and a buzzing nightlife is not your idea of the high life, discover the rural and serene panorama offered by Arboleas. It boasts stunning natural beauty and a much more relaxed vibe. It also flaunts more affordable prices, yet doesn’t slack on luxury or comfort. Here, you can enjoy the quieter life, whilst still enjoying that cosmopolitan feel thanks to the many international residents who have made their home there.
Huércal-Overa top end for healthcare, education and shopping
If a solid infrastructure and a range of amenities is a priority, Huércal-Overa stands out. It is at the height of high-quality medical, educational, and commercial services and combines urban living and all its conveniences with the charm of a tranquil town. It is the ideal balance between handy urban living and rural escape as access to the countryside defines the town. Brits, Germans, and Dutch tend to locate here, adding an international touch to a traditional town.
For some property investors, buying a home in an area which breathes Spain is a must. That’s why for those who wish to immerse in all things authentic, Albox is a splendid choice. This town is a hot spot for traditional markets, local festivities and a snapshot of real Spanish rural living. Albox prides itself on its sense of community and local culture, meaning that a warm welcome is always on the cards.
Vera a town which has it all beach, leisure and an international buzz
Vera is a town which seems to have it all. It is renowned for its quality, golden beaches and seaside quality of life. Yet here, coastal natural beauty is combined with life and excitement as the town oozes vibrancy with its shops, restaurants and leisure centres as well as its proximity to major tourist attractions. In Vera, boredom is never an option and with a mixed Spanish-European community, you will never be short of friends from all walks of life.
Let’s not forget Oria for those who are simply looking for a life away from the hustle and bustle. Oria is the epitome of escapism. Nestled within an impressive natural landscape, tranquility and peace form the oasis that characterises this hidden gem.
Almeria offers an enticing opportunity for property investment, blending affordability with natural beauty and a sunny Mediterranean lifestyle. Whether you re seeking a tranquil seaside retreat, a bustling town with vibrant amenities, or a rustic hideaway in the hills, Almeria has something to cater to every preference.
