Property for sale in Mil Palmeras: beach homes and prices

The name means a thousand palms, and the palm-fringed seafront is exactly what you see first. Playa de Mil Palmeras is a wide, sandy beach with gently shelving water and has regularly been awarded the Blue Flag. It has lifeguards in season, beach bars and easy access from the promenade, which makes it a practical beach for families with small children and for older residents.

Walk north and you reach the coves and beaches of Campoamor; head south and you are soon at the beaches and small marina of Torre de la Horadada. Within about 15 minutes by car are the calm, warm waters of the Mar Menor lagoon at San Pedro del Pinatar, a real bonus in spring and autumn when the open sea can feel cool.

Mil Palmeras has two distinct housing stocks. The original resort is made up of low-rise bungalows, townhouses and small apartment blocks from the 1970s to 1990s, often right next to the beach but with dated interiors. Since the late 2010s, a series of new-build developments has added modern apartments with communal pools, gardens, underground parking and large terraces or rooftop solariums, mainly on the inland side of the resort towards the N-332.

Many foreign buyers like the new-build blocks for their energy efficiency, lifts and turnkey furnishing packs, while Spanish buyers often prefer the older homes closest to the sand. If you buy off-plan, make sure your lawyer checks the building licence and the bank guarantee or insurance that protects your stage payments.

Mil Palmeras is priced above most of Pilar de la Horadada town but below Campoamor. As of 2025–2026, apartments sell for approximately €2,400 to €3,500 per m², with new builds and front-line homes at the upper end.

• Older two-bedroom bungalows and apartments near the beach: approximately €180,000–€270,000, depending on condition.
• New-build two-bedroom apartments with communal pool: approximately €250,000–€350,000.
• Three-bedroom penthouses with large solariums and sea views: approximately €350,000–€500,000.
• Detached villas are rare in the resort and typically start above €500,000.

On a new build bought from a developer you pay 10% VAT plus stamp duty instead of the transfer tax that applies to resales, so compare total costs, not just list prices. Browse current options on our Mil Palmeras listings page.

Rentals are a key reason investors look at Mil Palmeras. Summer holiday demand is strong and very Spanish, with families from Murcia, Madrid and the rest of Spain booking by the week, fortnight or month in July and August. Outside summer, demand comes from northern European visitors wintering on the coast and from workers and families looking for long-term homes.

Long-term rents for a two-bedroom apartment are approximately €750–€1,250 per month, with new builds and sea-view homes at the top. Summer weekly rates are considerably higher. For holiday lets you need registration in the Valencian tourist-dwelling register, the national rental registration number required since July 2025 and, for new tourist lets in community buildings, the approval of the community of owners required since April 2025. Check the community rules before you buy with rental income in mind.

Mil Palmeras is one of the best-connected resorts on the Costa Blanca for flying. Región de Murcia International Airport at Corvera is approximately 40 km, around 30–35 minutes by car. Alicante–Elche airport is approximately 65 km, around 50–55 minutes via the AP-7. The N-332 runs along the inland edge of the resort, and the AP-7 junctions nearby lead north to Torrevieja and Alicante and south to Cartagena and Murcia.

For shopping, there is a small commercial area with supermarkets and restaurants in the resort, larger supermarkets in Pilar de la Horadada town, and La Zenia Boulevard around 15 minutes north. For hospital care, the Hospital Universitario de Torrevieja and the hospital at San Javier are both within roughly 25 minutes.

Lo Romero Golf, an 18-hole course in Pilar de la Horadada, is about ten minutes inland, and the Real Club de Golf Campoamor, Las Ramblas and Villamartín are within around 15–20 minutes. Cyclists and walkers can follow the coastline north towards Campoamor or explore the salt flats and dunes of the Salinas de San Pedro del Pinatar regional park across the Murcia border.

Everyday services, schools and the health centre are in Pilar de la Horadada town, a short drive inland. Mil Palmeras itself is quiet in winter, with many homes used as second residences, so if you plan to live here year-round, choose a development with a good number of permanent residents.

Mil Palmeras is a strong choice for families wanting a safe, sandy beach, for buyers who want a modern turnkey apartment close to the sea, and for investors targeting the Spanish summer market. It also suits frequent flyers thanks to its proximity to Corvera. If you want more year-round life, compare it with Pilar de la Horadada town; if your budget stretches further and you want hillside villas, look at Campoamor; and for more shops and bars, the Orihuela Costa resorts to the north.
