Top 5 most luxurious and expensive houses in Spain

Majorca and the Costa del Sol are home to the most luxurious villas, mansions, and chalets in Spain. Premium real estate can also be found in some provinces, such as Cadiz. Local residential properties attract both Spanish and overseas buyers.

In addition to being one of the most expensive units in the country, these luxury homes can boast first-class service and the latest technologies, such as automatic blinds that rise and fall depending on the time of day, autonomous air conditioning, and smart home appliances.

Exclusive amenities, such as spas and gyms in the basement, suites with panoramic windows, mini golf courses, a private chapel and, in some cases, heated infinity pools deserve special attention.

Due to the construction process, design and materials in this property, it is considered eco-friendly. The properties have minimal impact on the environment and comply with the principles of sustainable development.

Buyers and tenants of secondary real estate, as well as investors whose nationality depends on the region, predominate among those who buy or rent these houses.

"In Madrid, these are Latin Americans, and in the Balearic Islands – Germans, British, French, and Italians, although depending on the island, nationalities vary quite a lot," says Alejandra Vanoli, general manager of VIVA Sotheby's International Realty.
