Costa Cálida 2026: why Los Alcázares, Torre Pacheco and San Pedro del Pinatar continue to be in high demand
16 Feb 2026

The coast of the Region of Murcia is experiencing a very interesting moment for those looking for a second home, a property to work remotely part of the year, or a purchase with a enjoyment + future value focus. Costa Cálida combines something hard to find: sea, services, good connections, and a relaxed lifestyle for much of the year. Within this coast, at Costa Ibérica we are seeing a clear focus on Los Alcázares, Torre Pacheco, and San Pedro del Pinatar, three areas that attract searches for quality of life, variety of housing, and a truly authentic Mediterranean feel.

If you want to get to know the area and see real market opportunities, here is Costa Ibérica’s reference page about the Costa Cálida (properties, locations, and available options).

Most popular areas in Costa Cálida: what attracts buyers

Los Alcázares stands out for its coastal atmosphere, seafront promenade, and lifestyle linked to the Mar Menor, a very unique coastal lagoon known for its calm waters and surroundings (ideal for families and those seeking a “friendly” sea). The official tourism website of the Region of Murcia describes the Mar Menor as a large coastal saltwater lagoon with enormous tourist appeal.

San Pedro del Pinatar is one of the most sought-after areas for those who want beach, services, and local life all year round. Moreover, for many international buyers, the climate is a decisive factor: AEMET shows usual forecasts with mild temperatures even in cooler months, reinforcing the idea of “outdoor living” for much of the year.

Torre Pacheco, on the other hand, works very well for those who want a strategic location (between the coast and services) and a more residential environment. In the current market, it is especially interesting due to the availability of new developments and its value-for-money ratio compared to prime beachfront areas.

What buyers value most (and why these areas fit):

  • Beaches and promenades for an active lifestyle, with options for all ages.

  • Real services (restaurants, shops, healthcare, etc.) without depending on a car for everything.

  • International atmosphere while retaining local identity.

  • Easy access to key points along the Murcian coast and surrounding areas.


Most popular property types and how to choose wisely

In Costa Cálida, interest usually focuses on practical, bright homes designed to enjoy the climate: apartments, bungalows, and, to a lesser extent, villas for those seeking more privacy and outdoor space. Costa Ibérica’s catalog shows a wide range in Costa Cálida with options for new developments and resale, and highly demanded formats such as apartments and bungalows in areas like San Pedro del Pinatar or Torre Pacheco.

To make the right decision (and save time), these tips help a lot:

  • Define your goal: holidays, remote work, partial residence, or investment.

  • Prioritize location and surroundings (beach, services, accessibility) over “extra square meters”.

  • Consider whether new development (efficiency, design, maintenance) or resale (established location, immediate delivery) suits you better.

  • Think about daily life: terrace, orientation, ventilation, community, and ease of maintenance.

And, of course, in Murcia there is an extra plus that always adds value in real estate news: Mediterranean gastronomy and culture. Rice dishes, fish, salted products, fresh produce, and that “stroll + terrace” lifestyle make many buyers imagine themselves here even before visiting.
