Property prices in Los Altos, Orihuela Costa in 2026
By Bennecke Real Estate ·
Anyone comparing prices in Orihuela Costa is often surprised to find that Los Altos offers sea views for considerably less than an apartment without views in Cabo Roig. Bennecke has been handling sales in this area since 1988, and this guide breaks down real prices by property type in 2026.
Average price per square metre
The average price in Los Altos ranges between €1,900 and €2,500/m² in 2026, notably below beach-front areas like Cabo Roig or Punta Prima, despite often offering panoramic sea views.
| Area | Average price €/m² |
|---|---|
| Upper part with sea views | 2,100 - 2,600 |
| Intermediate areas | 1,900 - 2,300 |
| New-build area | 2,300 - 2,800 |
| Areas without direct views | 1,700 - 2,000 |
What each type of property costs
Since villas and townhouses outnumber apartments, entry prices are somewhat higher than in beach areas, but with much more floor space and plot for the same budget.
- 3-bedroom townhouse with garden: between €210,000 and €280,000.
- Detached villa with sea views and pool: between €350,000 and €480,000.
- New-build villa with high-quality finishes: from €450,000.
- Apartment in areas closer to Campoamor: between €160,000 and €210,000.
- Plot for self-build with views: between €120,000 and €200,000.
Why Los Altos is more affordable than nearby areas
The main reason is the lack of direct beach access: Los Altos has no seafront of its own, which reduces demand pressure compared with Cabo Roig, La Zenia or Punta Prima, despite sharing the same proximity to services and the motorway. For many buyers, this price difference more than makes up for the 10-15 minutes by car to reach the nearest beach.
Price trends in recent years
Growth in Los Altos has been steady but more moderate than in beach areas, reflecting its position as a secondary market within Orihuela Costa.
- 2022: average price around €1,600/m².
- 2023: rise to approximately €1,750/m², in line with the rest of the coast.
- 2024: average price around €1,900/m², with acceleration on plots with views.
- 2026: between €1,900 and €2,800/m² depending on location and property type.
What to expect if you sell in Los Altos
The average selling time is between 4 and 6 months, somewhat longer than beach front-line areas, since the target buyer pool is smaller: buyers who prioritise tranquillity and views over immediate proximity to the sea. Properties with panoramic views and a well-kept plot turn over fastest.
