New-build property in Guardamar del Segura

Guardamar del Segura is a town in Alicante province on the southern Costa Blanca, in the Vega Baja comarca. It lies at the mouth of the river Segura: the town centre is 2 km south of the river mouth. The municipality covers 35.58 km2 and has 11 km of coast. It borders Elche to the north, and to the south the coastline continues into the municipality of Torrevieja. Portals split the town into areas: Pueblo, Puerto Deportivo, Guardamar Playa, El Raso, Los Secanos, El Moncayo, El Edén and Las Viñas. We found no official division.

Portals count new-build property in Guardamar del Segura differently. In November 2026 Alistora shows 14 projects, while the Oceanhome overview (August 2026) has 44 listings, 42 of them new builds. These are different units: projects and individual properties.

According to INE, the town had 18,564 residents on 1 January 2025. About 38% of them hold a foreign citizenship: 7,139 people in the register on the same date (our calculation from citypopulation.de data).

How do you get there? Alicante-Elche airport is about 33 km away, 30-45 minutes by car depending on the source. Murcia-Corvera airport is 54-71 km and 45-57 minutes; sources differ.

Buying a new build in Guardamar del Segura: what the town is like

The town's main feature is its dunes and pine forest. The Pinada (Parque Dunar) covers about 800 ha. It was planted to stop the moving dunes: the project was approved by royal order on 2 December 1897 and the work was finished in 1929. The forest is divided into the Alfonso XIII and Reina Sofía parks. The trees are mostly stone pine; eucalyptus is only one of the species listed, so this is a pine forest, not a eucalyptus park.

The coast is 11 km long. On 18 May 2026 the town renewed five Blue Flags: the beaches Vivers, Ortigues-Camp, Centro, La Roqueta and Moncayo. Another outlet counted only three, so check the list against the official one.

In the Alfonso XIII park stands the Rábita Califal, an Islamic monastic complex founded in 944. Of the Guardamar castle the lower part with a Gothic wall remains; the upper part was destroyed by the 1829 earthquake. There is an Archaeological Museum (MAG). The Moros y Cristianos fiesta takes place in the last two weeks of July.

What about the climate? According to climate websites, not a weather service, the average daily high is 23 °C and the low 12 °C, with about 371 mm of rain a year and October the wettest month. The sea warms to about 26 °C in August. We found no reliable figure for sunshine hours.

The Alegria Premium catalogue lists developer offers. The Oceanhome selection (August 2026) has 25 apartments, 17 penthouses, 1 townhouse and 1 bungalow, and no villas, so villas are rare among Guardamar new builds.

Investing in new-build property in Guardamar del Segura: taxes and costs

When you buy a new build from a developer in the Valencian Community you pay 10% IVA (VAT) and AJD stamp duty. The transfer tax ITP does not apply to new builds. The general AJD rate is 1.4% from 1 June 2026 (it was 1.5%); a rate of 0.1% is quoted for a home that becomes your main residence, so check the conditions with a notary or tax adviser. As a guide, on a price of 300,000 € the IVA is 30,000 € and AJD at the general rate is 4,200 €.

You also pay the notary and the land registry. General guides quote roughly 0.2-0.5% and 0.1-0.25% of the price, and 300-600 € for a gestor. These are guides; we did not check official tariffs. You need an NIE number. Buying property does not give you the right to live or work in Spain.

What about rentals? Tourist letting in the Valencian Community is governed by Decree-Law 9/2024, in force since 8 August 2024: the home goes on the tourism register for 5 years, each property needs its own cadastral reference, and a town hall may limit the number and location of tourist homes. We found no rules specific to Guardamar. Check the current rules with the Ayuntamiento de Guardamar del Segura and the owners' community before buying. Neither returns nor price growth can be guaranteed.
