In recent years, the real estate market in the Marina Alta has experienced a
fascinating trend change. While the coast has always been the main attraction,
more experienced investors are turning their attention inland. At Fyhom, we have
analyzed why municipalities like Orba, Jalón, or Alcalalí have become the favorite hot spots for investing in Marina Alta this 2026.
1. Profitability when investing in Marina Alta versus the coast
The main advantage is mathematical. While on the coast prices per square meter
square meter have reached historic highs, in inland towns it is still
possible to find properties with enormous revaluation potential at a
much lower entry price. This allows the net rental yield
is, in many cases, superior to that of beachfront apartments.
2. The rise of experience tourism and "Slow Life"
Today's tourist no longer just seeks sun and beach; they seek authenticity. Inland towns
offer unique architecture, hiking trails, and gastronomy not
found in crowded areas. Investing in a rustic house to transform it into a
charming accommodation is currently one of the safest options due to the
high demand for disconnection.
3. The "Digital Nomad" factor
With remote work fully consolidated, many professionals seek the peace of the interior
without giving up being close to service centers. An inland town offers that
necessary tranquility for work, while maintaining proximity to cities like Dénia or
Jávea less than 20 minutes away by car.
4. Lower volatility when investing in Marina Alta
The inland market is usually more stable than the coastal market, which depends much more on
seasonal tourist trends. Inland properties better maintain their value
in the long term, being considered by many investors as a "safe haven asset".
