Why People Choose Villamartín
Villamartín isn't just a golf community—it's an institution. For decades, it's been Costa Blanca South's most established and prestigious golf destination. The championship course, the vibrant Villamartín Plaza social hub, and the long-standing British expat community create a unique sense of belonging.
Life here pulses around the golf course and the Plaza. Morning rounds on a world-class course. Lunch at the clubhouse with familiar faces. Afternoons poolside at your villa or on nearby beaches (just 15 minutes away). Evening quiz nights at the Plaza or dinner at one of the excellent restaurants—where the staff knows your name.
The value proposition is compelling: a 3-bedroom villa in Villamartín costs €400-500k, versus €600k+ in comparable coastal locations. You get the lifestyle without the coastal premium pricing. Plus, you're part of something established—the community is mature, integrated, and genuinely welcoming.
Yes, it's more expensive than inland golf areas like Algorfa. But for those seeking the complete package—prestige, community, golf excellence, and beach proximity—Villamartín delivers.
