Torre La Mata is a quiet, unpretentious coastal neighbourhood that forms part of the wider Torrevieja municipality — one of the most popular destinations for Northern European buyers on the Costa Blanca. The area sits between the famous salt lagoons that give Torrevieja its distinctive character and the clean sandy beaches of Playa de La Mata, just 600 metres from this property. The beach itself is a long, well-maintained stretch backed by a pleasant promenade with restaurants, cafés, and local shops.
Torrevieja town centre is only a short drive away and offers a full range of amenities: supermarkets, international restaurants, a weekly market, health centres, and one of Spain's most active expat communities. The city's famous pink salt lake is a nature reserve and a truly unique local landmark. Alicante-Elche Airport is approximately 40 minutes by car, making Torre La Mata easily accessible for both short stays and permanent residence. The climate is among the best in Europe, with over 320 days of sunshine per year and mild winters.
At €149,000 for 58 m² of built space, this penthouse comes in at approximately €2,569/m² — above the local area average of around €1,700/m². That premium is directly explained by the penthouse position on the 6th floor, the private terrace with sea views, and the recently renovated kitchen: features that command higher values in the rental and resale markets. Property prices on the Costa Blanca have risen approximately 40% since 2020, and well-located coastal properties with views continue to attract strong buyer demand. As a holiday rental, a one-bedroom penthouse with sea views and a pool in Torrevieja can realistically achieve €600–€900 per month during high season, with long-term rental demand also solid at €550–€700/month, giving a potential gross yield of 4–6%. Total purchase costs for this resale property should be budgeted at approximately 12% on top of the purchase price (ITP at 10% plus notary, registry, and legal fees of approximately 2%).
For a resale property in the Valencian Community, the main transfer tax (ITP) is 10% of the purchase price. On top of this, notary fees, land registry fees, and legal/gestión costs add approximately 2%, bringing total additional costs to around 12%. For this property at €149,000, you should budget approximately €17,880 in taxes and fees, for a total outlay of around €166,880.
Torre La Mata is a well-regarded residential and holiday area within the Torrevieja municipality. It offers a quieter atmosphere than central Torrevieja while still being close to beaches, shops, and services. The area is popular with Northern European buyers and retirees, and it benefits from strong rental demand during the summer season. Its proximity to the salt lagoons also makes it a unique and visually distinctive part of the Costa Blanca.
Yes. Spanish banks routinely offer mortgages to non-resident buyers. The typical terms for non-residents include a loan-to-value (LTV) ratio of 60–70%, interest rates currently in the range of 3–4%, and repayment terms of 15–25 years. You will need a Spanish NIE number (Número de Identificación de Extranjero) before completing any property purchase in Spain, and this can be obtained at a Spanish consulate in your home country or at a police station in Spain.
The annual running costs for this property are modest. The IBI (local property tax) is €115 per year. Community fees covering maintenance of the building and communal pool are €625 per year (approximately €52/month). Utility costs (electricity, water) for a one-bedroom apartment used as a holiday home typically run €60–€100 per month. Building insurance is advisable and generally costs €150–€300 per year for a property of this type.
Torrevieja, and Torre La Mata specifically, is approximately 40 minutes by car from Alicante-Elche International Airport (ALC). Taxis typically cost €35–€50 for the journey. There are also bus services connecting Alicante with Torrevieja, though a car or taxi is the most convenient option on arrival. The airport has excellent connections to major European cities, making it very accessible for buyers flying in from Scandinavia, the UK, the Netherlands, and Germany.
A one-bedroom penthouse with sea views and communal pool access in the Torrevieja area is a competitive holiday rental proposition. During high season (July–August), weekly rates of €500–€700 are achievable. During the shoulder months (May–June, September–October), rates of €350–€500 per week are realistic. As a long-term unfurnished rental, similar properties in Torre La Mata typically achieve €550–€700 per month. Based on a conservative occupancy estimate, a gross annual yield of 4–6% is a reasonable expectation.
The process involves several clear steps. First, obtain a Spanish NIE number — this is a tax identification number required for all property transactions. Next, open a Spanish bank account. Once you have agreed on a price, a reservation contract (contrato de reserva) is signed and a small deposit paid to take the property off the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract (arras), typically with a 10% deposit. Finally, the deed (escritura) is signed before a Spanish notary and the title is registered. The whole process from offer to completion typically takes 4–8 weeks. We strongly recommend engaging an independent Spanish lawyer (abogado).
Torrevieja consistently ranks among the most popular destinations in Spain for Northern European property buyers, particularly from Sweden, Norway, Finland, the UK, and the Netherlands. The combination of over 320 days of sunshine per year, affordable property prices compared to other Mediterranean hotspots, a large and well-established international community, and excellent flight connections makes it genuinely attractive. The city has a full infrastructure of international supermarkets, medical services, language schools, and social clubs, making the transition to life in Spain straightforward. The Costa Blanca's natural beauty — beaches, salt lagoons, and inland mountains — adds further lifestyle appeal.
