The Costa Brava is so much more than a tourist destination. It's a way of life—a Mediterranean lifestyle defined by calm, beauty, and quality. And international buyers are taking notice. Every year, more and more people show interest in settling here, whether as a second home, a long-term investment, or even the start of a brand-new chapter.
At Immogrupstar, with over 40 years of deep roots and experience in the region, we’ve seen this evolution up close. And today, we’d like to share what this international buyer profile truly looks like, what they’re searching for, and why more and more are choosing areas like Platja d’Aro, S’Agaró, Sant Antoni de Calonge, and Sant Feliu de Guíxols.
An International Profile Seeking a Better Way of Life
Most foreign buyers in our area come from France, Germany, Belgium, and the Netherlands. In recent years, interest has also grown among buyers from Northern Europe and, to a lesser extent, the United States.
What do they all have in common? A clear desire for quality of life, safety, year-round pleasant weather, excellent cuisine, and a privileged natural environment.
Many are looking for a second home where they can relax on weekends and holidays, but more and more are considering spending extended periods here or moving permanently, whether to work remotely or to enjoy retirement.
What Exactly Are They Looking For?
There are a few key elements that appear in almost every search:
- Well-maintained, move-in-ready properties, with bright, functional spaces.
- Houses and villas with direct access to a pool, private garden, and on-site parking. Comfort and privacy are top priorities.
- Locations close to the sea, offering peace and quiet, great views, and easy access to local services.
- Charming Mediterranean towns with year-round life, good airport connections, international schools, medical services, and quality shopping.
- And just as important: a safe, transparent, and well-guided purchasing process.
In our area—Platja d’Aro, S’Agaró, Calonge, Sant Feliu de Guíxols and surroundings—all of this is possible. Here, you’ll find the perfect balance between modern convenience and Mediterranean authenticity, between comfort and nature.
