In the far southwest of Spain on the Costa de la Luz is the developing resort of Punta Umbria. Home to some 15,000 people, Punta Umbria has grown from a productive fishing town into one of the Costa de la Luz's hottest resorts. There is a great deal of investment coming into this area now, something that is reflected by the opening of Punta Umbria's excellent marina in 2002, so making the resort attractive to Spanish property investors.
Punta Umbria's geographical situation provides an aura of exclusivity to the resort. It is situated on a spit of land that extends southeastwards into the Atlantic and is bordered by the Odiel River. There are several kilometres of sandy beach along the resort's fringes, with an extra wide area of sand around the southeastern tip of Punta Umbria.
The marina is located in the calm waters on the river / estuary side of the resort and is backed by a beautiful promenade, restaurants, bars and shops. There is also a narrow stretch of beach adjoining the marina, which is often more sheltered that the ocean-facing beach area.
Punta Umbria is geared to offering a luxury lifestyle to all those who buy Spanish property here. Punta Umbria property developments are very tasteful, some of the most sought-after Punta Umbria property being low-rise beachfront developments with unhindered access the beach. Prices for a 5-bed luxury villa in Spain in Punta Umbria along the beach start at around €500,000 euros.
