Villa prices in Cabo Roig in 2026: what you need to know
By Bennecke Real Estate ·
In 2026, the average price of a villa in Cabo Roig ranges from €350,000 to €900,000, depending on distance to the sea, plot size and the state of the property. Two-bedroom apartments in the same area sit between €180,000 and €320,000, with a premium of between 15% and 25% for units with direct sea views. We have been operating in Orihuela Costa for over 35 years and these ranges reflect what we currently see in the market, not projections.

What you get at each budget level
Up to €400,000
With a budget of up to €400,000 it is possible to find a three-bedroom villa in established residential areas of inland Cabo Roig, Villamartín or Playa Flamenca. These are typically properties built in the 1990s or early 2000s, with plots of between 300 and 500 m², a private pool and a garage. They generally require partial renovation of the kitchen, bathrooms or installations, with an additional estimated cost of €20,000 to €50,000. In our experience since 1988, this segment sees the highest turnover: buyers seeking holiday rental yields and residents who prioritise space over modernity.
Between €400,000 and €700,000
In this price bracket you will find well-refurbished villas or more recent builds (2010–2020) with superior finishes. Plots of 400 to 700 m², private pool, a well-maintained outdoor terrace area and, in many cases, a double garage. Proximity to the Cabo Roig cove and La Zenia beach makes a notable difference within this range: a villa 800 metres from the sea can cost between €50,000 and €80,000 more than a comparable one at 1.5 km. Areas such as Cabo Roig urbanisation and Lomas de Cabo Roig concentrate most of the supply in this segment.
Over €700,000
Above €700,000 buyers access new-build or recently constructed villas with home automation, solar panels, infinity pools, spacious terraces and plots from 600 m². The front-line seafront in Cabo Roig, with direct access to the cove or living room views of the Mediterranean, starts at around €900,000 and can exceed €2,000,000 in the most privileged positions. At this level, the price per built square metre sits around €3,500 – €5,500.
The seafront premium
The Cabo Roig cove and its immediate surroundings generate a consistent price premium. Having completed transactions on this coast for over 35 years, we have observed that the difference between a villa with sea views and an equivalent one without rarely drops below 20%. During periods of peak demand — spring and autumn — it can reach 30%. Punta Prima, with its sandy beach and access to Torrevieja, remains the most sought-after area for buyers from northern Europe, which keeps prices rising even during quieter periods of general market activity.
Price evolution context
Since 2022, Orihuela Costa has seen a sustained upward adjustment driven by foreign demand (mainly British, German and Belgian), a shortage of buildable land and higher construction costs. Between 2024 and 2026, villa prices have risen between 7% and 15% depending on the segment, with front-line properties leading the way. Inflation in materials and labour has raised new-build costs by between 10% and 18% compared to 2022, and this has been passed on to final prices.
Neighbouring areas such as La Zenia, with the La Zenia Boulevard shopping centre and excellent access to amenities, show similar behaviour: apartments that closed at €150,000 in 2022 rarely go below €190,000 today. Villamartín, slightly further inland, still offers some margin for those who do not need immediate proximity to the sea.
Apartments: a solid alternative
For those who prefer less maintenance or a tighter budget, the apartment market in Cabo Roig and its surroundings offers several options:
- Studios and 1-bedroom apartments (€110,000–€160,000): usually in complexes with a communal pool, oriented towards short-stay holiday lettings.
- 2-bedroom apartments without views (€175,000–€270,000): the most in-demand option; gross holiday rental yields of between 5% and 7% per year.
- 2-bedroom apartments with sea views (€230,000–€380,000): higher price justified by consistently strong weekly rental demand.
- Penthouses with solarium (€290,000–€480,000): the type that has risen most in relative price since 2024, particularly south-facing units with unobstructed views.
- Terraced bungalows (€200,000–€340,000): between a villa and an apartment, with a private garden and communal pool.
How to assess the price of a specific villa
The price of a villa in Cabo Roig does not depend solely on its square metreage. The factors with the greatest impact are: distance to the cove or beach, orientation (south-southwest commands a premium), year of construction or renovation, plot size, existing tourist licence and quality of finishes. Two villas of 150 m² built on the same street can differ by €100,000 for these reasons.
