Nestled in Alicante, the city’s light and sea air frame a newly built penthouse that exemplifies considered Mediterranean living. Listed by Vision Villas, this 2025 residence pairs an intelligent 87 m² interior with some 110 m² of terraces, bringing a rare immediacy of outdoor life to a compact, well‑crafted plan.

Discovering the penthouse in Alicante

The apartment presents two bedrooms and a single, meticulously finished bathroom within an open-plan living arrangement designed for light and flow. As shown in the property photos, floor‑to‑ceiling glazing and a direct relationship between interior and terrace extend the living space beyond its measured footprint, an important consideration for international buyers seeking a home that lives larger than its square metres suggest.

Attention to materiality is evident throughout: warm timber surfaces, neutral plaster finishes and stripped-back metalwork create an understated backdrop for furnishings. The images capture both the calm of the principal living room and the terrace’s sea glimpses — a daily reminder of Alicante’s coastal advantage.

How the layout and features serve international buyers

For buyers from abroad, the combination of new construction quality and terrace-dominant living is especially practical. The penthouse’s air conditioning, lift access and contemporary finishes mean minimal immediate maintenance, while the furnished condition and smart use of terraces support short‑term letting or turnkey holiday use. The rooftop and pool amenities — visible in the gallery — also increase rental appeal without sacrificing privacy.

What to inspect on viewing

  • Confirm terrace waterproofing and drainage; inspect glazing seals where sea air can accelerate wear; review community rules for short‑term rentals if rental income is intended; verify energy performance documentation and new‑build warranties.

Vision Villas: local expertise that shapes the offer

Based in Jávea and operating for a decade, Vision Villas curates properties across the Valencian coast with an emphasis on design integrity and practical value. Their approach in presenting this Alicante penthouse is instructive: the listing foregrounds usable outdoor space and build quality — attributes international buyers prize — and frames the property within its neighbourhood amenities rather than as an isolated commodity.

The agency’s 81.61/100 platform rating and consistent five‑star feedback reflect a model built on transparency and local knowledge. For purchasers unfamiliar with Spanish processes, Vision Villas provides bilingual guidance, vendor negotiation, and coordination with local notaries and translators — services that smooth cross‑border transactions and reduce cost uncertainty.

Commission, fees and the buyer’s perspective

Commission structures in Spain vary; agencies may charge a seller commission, a buyer fee, or combine both into a single negotiated arrangement. Vision Villas typically positions its services to align incentives with the buyer: focused advisory and post‑sale support that limit unforeseen costs. International buyers should request a written fee schedule early, clarifying whether the stated price includes agency fees, community charges, and known taxes.

When evaluating any coastal new‑build purchase, remember to budget for transfer taxes, notary and registration fees, community (HOA) charges and a realistic estimate for furnishing or minor fit‑outs. Vision Villas assists in aggregating these figures to produce a clear total‑cost projection for properties like this penthouse priced at EUR 359,000.

Questions to ask an agent about fees

  • Ask whether the agency represents the seller exclusively; request a breakdown of buyer services included in any fee; clarify who pays for registration and notary; seek an estimate of recurring community costs and any planned special assessments.

Alicante: market context and lifestyle benefits

Alicante combines an active port and an accessible airport with a compact old town, beaches and a growing culinary scene. Its market is balanced: demand from domestic and international buyers supports strong seasonal rental returns without the extreme volatility of larger luxury enclaves. The penthouse’s proximity to promenades and cultural amenities, shown in the neighbourhood shots, makes it suitable both as a seasonal retreat and a long‑term city base.

For investors, the city’s infrastructure and year‑round appeal are positives. For lifestyle buyers, the terrace‑led plan and sea views make daily life distinctly Mediterranean: morning light, evening breeze and easy access to coastal dining. Vision Villas uses these locational strengths when pricing and marketing properties, ensuring they are presented to the most appropriate buyer cohorts.

Why this property illustrates Vision Villas’s selection criteria

This penthouse exemplifies the agency’s preference for homes that combine honest construction, meaningful outdoor space and immediate lifestyle value. It is not merely a showpiece but a practical, adaptable home: efficient plan, new‑build warranties and communal amenities such as a pool that broaden desirability without overpromising a resort identity. The photographs included with the listing make those qualities plain — they show a coherent material palette and the terraces that effectively double usable area.

How Vision Villas adds value after purchase

Beyond negotiation, the agency provides recommended local trades, rental management introductions and guidance on energy efficiency upgrades appropriate to coastal properties. For international clients who intend to rent, Vision Villas can coordinate professional photography and calendar management to maximise occupancy while preserving the property’s condition.

Such post‑sale services are part of the agency’s transparent fee narrative: buyers see where fees translate directly into service, risk mitigation and long‑term stewardship of their asset.

Practical next steps for interested buyers

Schedule a virtual viewing with Vision Villas to inspect the terrace orientation and light at different times of day; request a full cost‑breakdown that lists transfer taxes, notary fees and community charges; ask for the new‑build warranty and energy certificate; and, if investing, seek current rental comparables for similar two‑bed penthouses in Alicante.

If you prefer an in‑person visit, Vision Villas’ local team can coordinate viewings and accompany you through negotiation and closing, translating technical details into clear recommendations tailored to an overseas buyer’s priorities.

As the listing demonstrates, a thoughtfully presented new‑build penthouse in Alicante can offer immediate lifestyle pleasure alongside sensible investment characteristics. Vision Villas’ local acumen, combined with pragmatic fee transparency, makes them a suitable partner for international buyers seeking this blend of quality and convenience.
