Where to buy a second home? Most recommended places

Spain is synonymous with good weather, quality of life, rich culture and stunning scenery. This is emphasised by both locals and foreigners. The Costa del Sol in particular, with its year-round sunshine, golden beaches and vibrant atmosphere, has established itself as one of the most sought-after destinations for buying a luxury home. 

It is true that Spanish culture places great value on owning a second home, whether in the city, in the mountains or a beachfront apartment, to escape the hustle and bustle of the city. And having a second home means enjoying leisure time and investing in the future. 

The demand for second homes has increased in recent years as a result of the pandemic, where the new modality of teleworking and confinement has changed people's housing needs.

Discover the best places to buy a second home, with a special focus on the Costa del Sol, a corner of the world where luxury and quality of life go hand in hand. Let's get started!

The most popular destinations for buying a second home

As the name suggests, a second home is one that you buy even if you already have a permanent home where you live all year round. It is used for a different purpose to the first home. The most common use is as a holiday or weekend home. It may also be used for visiting family or as an investment.

When buying a second home, different factors are taken into account than when we bought our main home. These include our leisure preferences, location and climate. The second home of a winter sports enthusiast will not be the same as that of someone seeking peace and quiet by the sea.

Let's see which are the most popular cities and destinations for second home buyers and investors in Spain.
