A new-build residential complex of two-bedroom bungalows is under construction in Mil Palmeras, a small coastal district on the southern Costa Blanca in the province of Alicante. The homes measure 56 square metres and each has two bathrooms, a private terrace or solarium, and use of communal pools and landscaped gardens within a gated community. The sea lies roughly 600 metres away. Units are priced between €349,000 and €359,000 as fixed asking prices, with completion indicatively scheduled for the second quarter of 2028.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
Mil Palmeras sits on the Orihuela Costa stretch of coastline, about 35 km from Murcia and 42 km from Elche as the crow flies. The complex lies within the town itself, roughly 600 metres from the Mediterranean, with beaches, a marina and several golf courses all within a few kilometres. The location combines a small residential settlement, home to around 1,300 people, with proximity to larger coastal urbanisations.
Each bungalow provides two bedrooms, two bathrooms and 56 square metres of living space, complemented by a private terrace, solarium and utility room. Fitted wardrobes, double glazing and pre-installed air conditioning are included. Communal facilities comprise an adult pool, a children's pool, parking and gardens. The layout suits couples, small households or buyers seeking a low-maintenance second residence.
Construction is currently under way, with delivery indicatively planned for the second quarter of 2028. As with all completion dates on the Spanish coast, this timeframe is indicative and may shift during the build. Purchasers buy off-plan or during construction, which means decisions are based on plans, specifications and show material rather than a finished property. European construction standards apply to the build.
The living area of 56 square metres is compact, and the homes have two bedrooms rather than three or more, which limits their suitability for larger households. Parking is communal rather than a private garage. No private pool, private garden or sea-front position is offered; the sea views are from the development's position 600 metres inland. The complex does not include lifts, gym or spa facilities in the stated data.

This development fits several recognisable situations. The first is the couple or single buyer seeking a manageable second home on the coast: 56 square metres, two bedrooms and a solarium provide enough space for holidays and extended stays without the upkeep of a villa. The second is the buyer planning a partial or full relocation who wants a walkable coastal setting with restaurants, a pharmacy and the beach within a small radius, and who values the security of a gated community. The third is the purchaser prioritising proximity to golf, with three courses, Las Ramblas de Orihuela, Real Club de Golf Campoamor and Villamartín, within 6 km as the crow flies. The development is less suited to buyers needing three or more bedrooms, substantial private outdoor space or a private pool, since none of these form part of the specification. Buyers who require immediate availability should also note the 2028 delivery date, indicatively, which involves a waiting period and standard off-plan purchase considerations: staged payments, bank guarantees under Spanish law and reliance on developer delivery. For owners intending to rent the property seasonally, the combination of communal pools, a children's pool and a 600-metre distance to the sea is a relevant feature, though rental performance depends on local licensing rules that buyers should verify independently.
The project material describes construction to European building standards with high-quality finishes, which in Spanish new-build practice means compliance with the Technical Building Code (CTE) covering structural safety, thermal performance and acoustics. Concretely, the specification lists double glazing throughout, improving both thermal insulation and noise reduction, relevant in a district that sees summer visitor traffic. Air conditioning is pre-installed, meaning the ducting and connections are in place, with the units themselves typically fitted by the buyer. Fitted wardrobes come as standard, as does a utility room, a practical inclusion for a compact home that keeps laundry equipment out of the living space. The visualised kitchen includes an island with sink and space for a fridge, microwave and dishwasher, indicating a fully fitted rather than partially equipped kitchen is planned. Each home has a private terrace and, on the upper units, a solarium, an outdoor room that in this climate is usable for much of the year. As with all off-plan purchases, the finishes shown in renders are indicative, and buyers should confirm the exact specification, appliance inclusion and material lists in the purchase contract, since developers retain the right to substitute equivalent materials. Construction is currently under way, which allows buyers to see actual progress on site rather than relying solely on plans.
The asking prices for the bungalows are fixed, ranging between €349,000 and €359,000 depending on the unit. This is a price list of completed specifications rather than a 'from' price for a configurable product. The price difference of €10,000 across units typically reflects position within the complex, orientation and view. For context, comparable new-build apartments in Mil Palmeras start from around €325,000, villas in Daya Nueva from €380,000 and apartments in Rojales from €475,000, placing this development at the accessible end of the regional new-build market for a two-bedroom, two-bathroom home with communal facilities. Buyers should budget additionally for purchase costs, community fees and annual taxes.
Daily life in Mil Palmeras follows the rhythm of a small, purpose-built coastal settlement. With a registered population of about 1,300, the district is quiet outside the summer months, when holiday visitors increase activity along the seafront. The residential streets, restaurants and beach promenade sit within walking or short driving distance of the complex. Within 2 km there are roughly 27 restaurants, two cafés and a pharmacy, which covers day-to-day needs for groceries, dining and essentials without leaving the immediate area. For anything beyond that, larger commercial zones such as those around Torrevieja and Orihuela Costa, including the La Zenia Boulevard retail area, are a short drive away. The bungalows themselves are designed around compact efficiency: an open living, dining and kitchen area with a modern island kitchen, as visualised in the project material, two bedrooms and a bathroom each on the principal and secondary levels depending on the unit. The private terrace and solarium extend the usable space outdoors, which matters given the local climate of roughly 19.2 degrees annual average temperature and more than 300 sunshine hours in the warmer months. Mornings can be spent on the terrace, afternoons at the communal pool and evenings on the 1.2 km walk, as the crow flies, to the nearest coves at Barranco Rubio and Cala de la Lombriz. A car is practical for reaching golf courses, larger supermarkets and the airport, although local bus lines, ten routes and fifty stops in the area, provide a degree of independence.
Mil Palmeras functions as a residential coastal district rather than a full town, so daily life divides between the immediate neighbourhood and the wider Orihuela Costa area. Within 2 km, the counts from local data, 27 restaurants, two cafés and a pharmacy, describe a settlement geared toward seasonal and residential visitors, with dining concentrated near the seafront. The nearest beaches, Playa Barranco Rubio and Cala de la Lombriz, both lie 1.2 km away as the crow flies, with the broader Playa de Campoamor at La Glea at 2.1 km; two beaches in the area, Puerto and Rocamar, hold Blue Flag status. Puerto Deportivo Miguel Caballero marina is 1.7 km away, and the sailing clubs of San Pedro del Pinatar and Lo Pagán lie 7–8 km away. For sport, the Sport Center Montepiedra is 1.4 km from the complex and Pinatar Arena, a professional training facility, is 5 km away. Elevation is a flat 5 metres above sea level, which makes walking and cycling easy throughout the area. Public transport comprises ten lines with fifty stops, giving reasonable local coverage, though most residents use a car for shopping, golf and airport trips.
The map shows the complex in Mil Palmeras, roughly 600 metres from the sea on the flat southern Costa Blanca. Markers indicate the nearest beaches at 1.2 km, the marina at 1.7 km and the golf cluster between 3.9 and 5.7 km, all as the crow flies. Alicante-Elche Airport lies about 47 km to the north-east.

Mil Palmeras occupies the southern end of the Orihuela Costa, close to the boundary between the provinces of Alicante and Murcia, on the stretch known as the Costa Blanca South. This position places it between two regional centres: Murcia, 35 km away as the crow flies with some 463,000 inhabitants, and Cartagena at 38 km, while Elche and its airport lie 42–47 km to the north-east. The district itself is small, around 1,300 residents, and functions as a residential satellite of the larger coastal urbanisations such as Campoamor, Villamartín and Punta Prima. Compared with the more famous Costa del Sol further west, this stretch of coast offers lower density and, on current market data, lower entry prices for comparable new-build property.
Accessibility is anchored by Alicante-Elche Airport, roughly 47 km away as the crow flies, with Valencia Airport at about 180 km and Málaga at 358 km. By road, Alicante airport is typically a 45–50 minute drive via the AP-7 or N-332. The beaches nearest the complex are 1.2 km away in a direct line, meaning a walk of roughly 15–20 minutes or a two-minute drive; residents should note that actual road distances exceed straight-line figures. Three golf courses sit within 6 km in a direct line: Las Ramblas de Orihuela at 3.9 km, Real Club de Golf Campoamor at 5.1 km and Villamartín at 5.7 km. Electric-vehicle charging is available at Eranovum (2.8 km), Iberdrola (3.1 km) and Ionity La Zenia (4.8 km). Regional cities, Murcia at 35 km and Cartagena at 38 km, both straight-line, provide hospitals, universities and cultural amenities within an hour's drive. A car is advisable for most trips beyond the immediate district, although the local bus network offers a workable alternative for short journeys.

The climate data for the area shows an average annual temperature of 19.2 degrees Celsius, with monthly averages ranging from 11 degrees in the coolest months to 26 degrees in summer, a pattern that supports outdoor living from early spring to late autumn. The swimming season, defined by sea temperatures of 20 degrees or above, lasts approximately five months, running from late May into October. Rainfall is concentrated in the cooler half of the year, with summers predominantly dry. Elevation is 5 metres above sea level and the terrain is essentially flat, so no hills affect access to the beach or local amenities, and the solariums of the upper bungalows gain open, panoramic views precisely because of this low-lying, open coastal topography. The nearby beaches and coves, together with the marinas at 1.7 km and beyond, form the principal natural assets of the setting. Buyers sensitive to summer heat should note that July and August afternoons average around 26 degrees, for which the pre-installed air conditioning provides the technical answer.

The coastline around Mil Palmeras offers a mix of sandy beaches and smaller coves. The nearest, Playa Barranco Rubio and the Cala de Campoamor, lie 1.2 km away as the crow flies, followed by the family-oriented Playa de Campoamor at La Glea at 2.1 km. Two local beaches, Puerto and Rocamar, carry Blue Flag certification, reflecting water quality and services such as lifeguards and access facilities during the season. For recreation beyond the beach, three golf courses, Las Ramblas de Orihuela (3.9 km), Real Club de Golf Campoamor (5.1 km) and Villamartín (5.7 km), make this one of the denser golf clusters on the southern Costa Blanca. Water sports and boat owners are served by the marinas at Mil Palmeras/San Pedro: Puerto Deportivo Miguel Caballero is 1.7 km away, with C.N. Villa de San Pedro at 7.2 km and Lo Pagán at 8.1 km. For land-based sport, the Sport Center Montepiedra (1.4 km), the municipal climbing wall Rocódromo (2.8 km) and the Pinatar Arena training centre (5.0 km) cover most indoor and outdoor disciplines. The five-month swimming season frames the annual recreational calendar.

Within its immediate market, this development competes directly with other new-build projects along the southern Costa Blanca and into the Murcia coastline. The closest comparable, Residencial Lago Varese in Mil Palmeras itself, lists apartments from €325,000, below this project's fixed price band, though direct comparison depends on size, floor level and specification, since a from-price at €325,000 may reflect smaller or ground-floor units. Further afield, Oceanic Apartments in Rojales start from €475,000, a difference of roughly €120,000 that reflects Rojales' positioning near Ciudad Quesada and its inland-desirable surroundings, while Nueva Daya Villa in Daya Nueva starts from €380,000 for a villa typology, which is not directly comparable to a 56 m² bungalow but indicates the price step to detached property in the region. At €349,000–€359,000, this project sits in the accessible band of the new-build market for a two-bedroom, two-bathroom home with communal pools and a gated setting. Its differentiators are location-based rather than volume-based: a 600-metre distance to the sea, a Blue Flag beach cluster within 2 km, three golf courses within 6 km as the crow flies, and a flat, low-density residential environment with roughly 1,300 permanent residents. Compared with the Costa del Sol to the west, the southern Costa Blanca typically offers lower entry prices for coastal new-build property, at the cost of a shorter peak season for rental demand, relevant to buyers weighing personal use against letting potential. Buyers comparing options should weigh the 2028 delivery date, indicative in nature, against completed stock available sooner at higher prices, and verify community fees and purchase costs for each alternative before deciding.
