Where to begin

Three ways people find their home here

Most buyers arrive with a feeling rather than a floor plan. Start with the life you want, and the property follows.

New developments

New build, without the guesswork

A new development can be the easiest purchase you'll ever make — or the most confusing. The difference is knowing what is actually included, how the payment stages work, and which builders deliver on time.

  • What each phase includes, in plain language
  • Payment stages and bank guarantees explained
  • Realistic completion timelines, not brochure dates

How we help

One idea, three stages

The right Mediterranean home, explained clearly and matched personally.

Find your home

We start with your brief, not our stock list. Then we search the market — including homes we don't represent.

Buy with confidence

Independent legal advice, clear cost breakdowns and every document explained before you sign it.

Live the Mediterranean

Utilities, residency questions, trades and neighbours. The practical help that begins after the keys.

Our story

More than real estate. A shared journey.

Adela and Cristian have been a couple for more than twelve years. They built their real-estate experience together in Mallorca, with more than fifteen years of shared background in the luxury property market.

Viva Mar Homes is their new Mediterranean chapter  this time on the Costa Blanca and the nearby Costa Cálida.

Years of working with international clients taught them that the best transaction is not only about square metres, views or price. It is about trust, timing, and truly understanding what the person in front of you is looking for.

That is the promise: personal, clear, international and genuinely close to the client  from the first conversation to the keys, and afterwards.

12+ years together · 15+ years in real estate · Mediterranean at heart

For us, finding the right home starts with understanding the life you want to build around it.

The process

Five steps, from first call to keys

Nothing rushed and nothing hidden. You always know what happens next.

    Tell us your brief

    Location, budget, must-haves and how you plan to use the home. Fifteen honest minutes saves months.

  2. 02

    Receive a shortlist

    Grouped by area around your travel dates, in person or by video if you can't travel yet.

  4. 04

    Offer and legal checks

  5. 05

    Notary and keys

Buyer guide

Buying from abroad?

The people you'll speak to

Two people, not a call centre
