Costa del Sol Property Search up to €1 Million
Homes under €1 million on the Costa del Sol give buyers access to a broad and attractive part of the market. This budget can include larger apartments, penthouses, townhouses, golf homes and selected villas, depending on location, size, views and condition.
For many international buyers, €1 million is the point where lifestyle options widen significantly. You may be able to consider better terraces, stronger views, gated communities, newer developments, beachside areas or more spacious homes for family use.
Holiday Homes Spain helps buyers compare areas, property types, running costs and long-term suitability, so you can understand where your budget works hardest across the Costa del Sol.
Why This Budget?
What €1 Million Can Offer
Larger Apartments
This budget can open up more spacious apartments in strong locations, often with better terraces, parking, storage and community facilities.
Penthouses
Selected penthouses may fall within this range, especially outside the most expensive frontline or prime luxury locations.
Townhouses
Townhouses can offer more internal space, private terraces and a residential feel, often with community pools and gardens.
Selected Villas
In some areas, €1 million can include detached or semi-detached villas, although location, condition and plot size vary significantly.
Golf & Gated Communities
Many buyers use this budget to target established golf areas, secure communities and lock-up-and-leave homes with strong lifestyle appeal.
Better Lifestyle Choice
With more flexibility, buyers can often choose between proximity to the beach, views, space, newer construction or stronger community facilities.
Buyer Advice
Decide Whether €1 Million Is the Price or the Full Budget
Before viewing, it is important to decide whether €1 million is your maximum purchase price or your total budget including purchase costs, furniture, upgrades and legal fees.
As a practical guide, resale buyers in Andalucía often allow roughly 10% on top of the purchase price. New-build costs are usually higher because IVA and AJD apply. Your lawyer should confirm the exact figures before you commit.
A clear budget makes the search more efficient and helps avoid comparing properties that look similar online but sit at very different total cost levels once taxes and purchase costs are included.
