A town between forest and dunes
Guardamar sits at the mouth of the river Segura. Between the town and the sea runs a belt of dunes and pine forest of around 800 hectares. It was planted in the early 20th century, when the sand was advancing on the town, and today it is a protected natural park. That is what sets Guardamar apart: there is no wall of tall buildings along the beach, and the way to the sea leads through the pines.
How the market works
The centre is a compact Spanish town a kilometre from the sea: apartments in buildings of different ages, a market, schools and a health centre, all open year round.
The urbanisations on the edges of town offer complexes with pools, bungalows and townhouses, some of them new builds.
Because the coastal strip is protected, homes sit behind the forest rather than on the beach itself. For buyers that is mostly a plus: a view of pines instead of someone else's facade, and beaches that will never be built on.
Prices
According to RealAdvisor, the average price in Guardamar in July 2026 was around €2,300 per square metre. Prices for individual homes are on the listings above.
Who it suits
Living here full time — the centre, with everything close by and a town that stays alive in winter. Holidays with children — the areas by the forest and beaches, with wide sand and shade from the pines. Peace and quiet — Guardamar is noticeably calmer than its touristy neighbours, while Torrevieja's shops and services are 15 minutes away.
Buying from the UK
Taxes — Valencian Community rates. New build: 10% VAT plus 1.4% stamp duty. Resale: 9% transfer tax up to €1,000,000.
NIE and bank account. You always need an NIE, and we handle it for you. For a new build you do not need a Spanish bank account. For a resale property you will need one in practice: the seller is paid at the notary with a Spanish banker's draft.
Mortgages. Spanish banks usually lend non-residents up to 70% of the valuation.
Residency. Buying does not give you residency. Without a visa, a UK passport holder can stay up to 90 days in any 180.
