Why a villa on the Mar Menor
The Mar Menor is a large lagoon separated from the sea by a narrow strip of land. The water is warm and shallow, with hardly any waves — easy for children and water sports. Around it the land is flat and dotted with golf courses, so many detached villas with plots are built here, not just apartments.
Where to look
Los Alcázares — villas right by the lagoon and on La Serena Golf. Torre-Pacheco — villas on golf resorts and in quiet urbanisations. San Javier — bungalows and villas on Roda Golf, close to the lagoon beaches. Fuente Álamo — villas further from the water, on inland golf resorts.
Golf
Many villas are on golf resorts — gated communities with a course, pools and security. Club membership is usually not included in the purchase; you pay to play separately. For villas right by the course, see the Frontline golf and Near golf pages.
Buying from the UK
Taxes — Murcia. New build: 10% VAT plus 1.5% stamp duty. Resale villa: 7.75% transfer tax. Notary and registry usually add 0.5–1%.
Off-plan. By law, every payment before completion is covered by a bank guarantee — we check it before you sign. Once built, the law gives one year of cover for finishes, three for habitability and ten for the structure.
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 villa you will need one in practice: the seller is paid at the notary with a Spanish banker's draft.
Upkeep. A garden and private pool need looking after all year. Community fees on golf resorts are usually higher, as they cover shared areas and security.
Residency. Buying does not give you residency: the golden visa was abolished in April 2025. Without a visa, a UK passport holder can stay up to 90 days in any 180.
