Where the new villas are

There is little free land left on the coast between Calpe and Jávea, so most new villas are built on plots inside established residential areas, sometimes where an older house once stood. You get a modern house with mature gardens and finished roads around it. Benissa Costa has a good share of them, many around La Fustera, close to the coves. Jávea draws contemporary architecture to Cap Martí, El Tossalet and Pinomar and to the cliffs of Portichol and Balcón al Mar. In Moraira, new villas appear in Moravit and Cap Blanc and further back towards Teulada. At Cumbre del Sol in Benitachell, a development planned in 1975, plots still come up for new houses. On the hills of Calpe and Altea, new villas are usually designed around the view. Most share the same idea: current insulation, open plans, large windows and a pool set into the slope.

Each town hall, its own timetable

Every villa is built under the plan of its own town, and some of those plans are old. Benissa still refers to its general plan of 1982. Jávea works from a plan approved in 1990, with urgent transitional rules added in 2021. Benitachell's general rules date from 1987. Valencian law gives a town hall two months to decide on a licence for a new building, but in practice it often takes much longer. Since 1 July 2024, a certificate from a private verification body, an Entidad Colaboradora Urbanística, can replace the town's technical report; Teulada-Moraira announced it was using them in September 2025 and Calp voted to do so in November 2025. The town still makes the decision. For a villa sold off plan, the completion date depends on all this, so we always ask whether the licence has been granted, and when.

Paying before the keys

Spanish law protects buyers who pay before completion. From the moment the licence is granted, the developer must guarantee the return of every payment, with legal interest, through insurance or a bank guarantee, and the money must go into a special account used only for the build. Every new home also needs a ten-year insurance for structural damage, and a new building cannot be recorded by deed without it. One case needs care: an owner who built a house for their own use and sells it within ten years must take out that insurance for the remaining years, unless the buyer expressly releases them. Building a villa from the start takes roughly five to eleven months of design and permits, ten to twenty-four of construction and three to four of finishing. Our guide to new build or resale compares the two.

What we check on every new build.

  1. The building licence, and that what is being built matches it.
  2. A bank guarantee or insurance on every payment made before completion.
  3. The specification list: materials, brands and finishes, in writing.
  4. The ten-year structural insurance and the documents at handover.
  5. The builder’s track record and a realistic completion date.

Questions we are asked

How long does it take to build a villa?
A new build runs through seven phases. Planning, design and permits take roughly five to eleven months, construction ten to twenty-four, and finishing and handover three to four more.
Who checks the contracts?
An independent lawyer reviews the contracts and gives you the advice you need at every stage, from the first agreement to the deed.
Can I change the design of a villa bought off plan?
Often, if you buy early enough. Finishes are the easiest to change. A new layout needs the builder's agreement and sometimes a change to the project approved by the town hall. Our designer helps you decide quickly, and we put every change and its price in writing.
