Second Home? The Keys to Making the Right Choice

Essential tips to find your ideal retreat… and enjoy it all year round

Owning a second home is much more than acquiring a property: it’s opening the door to rest, disconnection, and enjoyment. Whether as a holiday spot, a future retirement home, or even an investment, more and more people are choosing to buy a second residence on the Costa Blanca, attracted by its climate, quality of life, and excellent connectivity. But how can you make sure you’re making the right choice? Here are some essential tips to help you decide—with the experience and support of Alibuilding.

1. Location, location… and location

It may sound obvious, but it’s the golden rule. A good second home should be in an area that’s attractive not only for its natural surroundings but also for its access to services, connectivity, and leisure options. The Costa Blanca is a consolidated destination thanks to its road network, proximity to Alicante airport, and variety of environments—from peaceful areas like Muchavista or Polop to livelier urban zones like Benidorm or San Juan Playa.

2. When and how will you use it?

Think about how you’ll use your home: will it be your summer retreat? A year-round getaway? A future retirement home or a place to work remotely for part of the year? At Alibuilding, we offer homes adapted to every lifestyle. From the penthouses with solarium at Alborán Beach to the seafront apartments at Benidorm Beach, all our developments are designed for comfort, efficiency, and functionality—365 days a year.

3. Comfort, design, and efficiency

Your second home should offer maximum well-being. Look for properties with good orientation, natural light, efficient climate control, insulation, and, if possible, communal areas that encourage outdoor living. Alibuilding developments include features such as swimming pools, gardens, chill-out zones, and even gyms with sea views, as at Benidorm Beach.

4. Value appreciation and investment

Even if your main motivation is personal, it’s worth considering the potential for appreciation. Areas with strong residential or tourist demand tend to offer greater profitability if you decide to rent or sell in the future. Alibuilding developments are located in high-demand areas such as Jávea, El Campello, and Mutxamel, with consolidated markets and strong growth potential.

5. Trust the experts

Buying a second home can raise many questions—legal procedures, taxes, financing, maintenance… At Alibuilding, we don’t just offer high-quality developments; we also provide the support of a professional team that guides you through every stage of the purchase and after-sales process. Our priority is for you to feel safe, informed, and supported at all times.
