When you think of million-euro homes in Spain, your mind might jump to Marbella, Ibiza, or the Costa Blanca. But there’s another story unfolding quietly on the southeastern coast — in Almería, one of Spain’s most authentic and promising provinces.

A Market of Discreet Luxury

Out of 9,494 properties currently listed for sale on Idealista in the province of Almería, only 71 are priced above €1,000,000, and just 6 surpass €2,000,000. Compare that with:

Granada: 315 properties above €1M
Málaga: a massive 9,521
Alicante: 3,270
Murcía: 3,270

This tells a clear story - Almería remains an exclusive, untouched market, with incredible potential for growth.

A Market on the Rise

According to the latest Idealista/Data report (September 2025), the average price per square meter in Almería has reached €1,442/m², showing a +12.7% annual increase compared to September 2024.

Some municipalities such as Cuevas del Almanzora, Palomares, Pulpí, Vera, and Villaricos have hit historic maximum prices, reflecting growing interest in coastal and lifestyle-oriented investments. The data shows consecutive monthly growth throughout 2025 - a strong indicator of sustainable demand, not speculation.

Living Well for Less

While property prices are rising, the cost of living in Almería remains one of the lowest in Spain - from housing and utilities to fresh food and dining. You can enjoy Mediterranean luxury living at a fraction of what it costs in Marbella or Jávea. Imagine owning a seafront villa or countryside estate where your daily life still feels authentic, affordable, and surrounded by nature.

According to Diario de Almería, even though the IPC (consumer price index) has recently climbed due to housing demand, the region still offers a much more balanced lifestyle-cost ratio than neighboring provinces. That’s why more professionals, retirees, and remote workers are choosing Almería.

Before the Market Booms: The AVE Factor

With the high-speed train (AVE) nearing completion and expected to connect Almería with Murcía (and other cities) in the coming years, interest from national and international buyers is set to surge. As we’ve seen in Málaga or Alicante, such infrastructure projects can completely transform local markets - pushing prices up and availability down.

That means now is the perfect time to secure an exclusive property before the “rush” begins.
