The new builds we'd choose ourselves

Pilar de la Horadada sits at the very southern edge of the Costa Blanca, where the coastline turns from holiday-strip to something quieter and more lived-in. The Friday market is a two-minute walk from this development, running 9 am to 2 pm — fresh produce of course, but also clothes, shoes, bags, and what locals will tell you are the best churros for miles. The beach is one kilometre away.

For a small town the calendar is full: a huge town fair, a Brazilian-style carnival dance festival, free sports centres, skate parks and play areas. La Zenia Boulevard and Dos Mares — two of the south coast's biggest shopping centres — are both ten minutes by car. The development itself is a 28-bungalow new build in two formats: ground-floor low-bungalows with their own garden and terrace, and upper-level high-bungalows topped with a private solarium. Both share the community pool, gym and gardens, and every home includes a private garage. Keys handover is scheduled for August 2027 — secure a unit off-plan now while pricing and floor choice are still open.
