Polish Buyers Drive Demand for Spanish Homes as Costa del Sol Luxury Prices Climb

Despite autumn settling in across Central Europe, the appeal of Spain’s sunny coasts continues to attract Polish investors, with new data showing a double-digit increase in property purchases during the first half of this year.

According to figures from Registradores de España, Polish nationals acquired around 2,050 properties in Spain in the first six months of 2025, an increase of roughly 14 percent compared with the same period in 2024. Real estate consultancy Dream Property Marbella notes that Poles remain among the most active foreign buyers, particularly in Andalusia’s Málaga province, which encompasses Marbella, Estepona and Torremolinos.

The Costa del Sol’s climate remains a central attraction. Local tourism and climate sources frequently cite more than 300 days of sunshine annually, making the region one of Europe’s warmest and most reliable coastal destinations. While winters are mild rather than summer-hot, the perception of year-round sun continues to bolster demand for second homes and investment properties.

Málaga province has also seen some of Spain’s sharpest price growth, with average values climbing between 14 and 17 percent year on year in mid-2025 to nearly €2,900 to €3,000 per square metre, according to official registrars’ data. New developments continue along the Marbella–Estepona corridor, but high demand from international buyers keeps competition for prime beachfront stock intense. Polish investors are often focused on lifestyle purchases such as holiday or retirement homes, but they also view Spanish real estate as a hedge against domestic currency or political risk.

Luxury acquisitions remain a hallmark of this trend, with agents reporting strong Polish interest in premium coastal schemes. In Marbella’s Los Monteros district, prime villas close to the beach are typically listed between €4.5 million and over €10 million, with sea views, private pools and large plots commanding the highest premiums. In Torremolinos, duplex penthouses with rooftop pools at Residencial Nereidas are currently advertised for around €2.0 to €2.2 million, while standard units in the same complex start closer to €1 million. In Estepona, ground-floor garden apartments at The Edge, one of the town’s flagship seafront developments, are marketed at €990,000 to €1.1 million depending on size and orientation.

Agents on the ground say momentum remains robust despite rising prices. “The combination of a Mediterranean lifestyle, reliable climate and steady economic growth continues to act as a magnet for Polish buyers,” said Tatiana Pękala, owner of Dream Property Marbella, a Polish-run agency specialising in Spanish coastal investments. With Málaga maintaining its position as Spain’s top growth market and demand for prime homes exceeding supply, analysts expect international investors, including Poles, to remain active, particularly in the luxury segment of the Costa del Sol.
