At Hamiltons Real Estate (formerly Hamiltons of London, we focus on winter lets and long-term rental properties across the Costa Blanca North. We do not offer short-term holiday rentals.
Most people contacting us are looking for something slightly different from a typical holiday apartment. Some want to escape colder winters for a few months. Others are relocating permanently and prefer renting first before deciding where they eventually want to buy.
It’s also quite common for buyers to arrange a winter rental before purchasing property in Spain. Spending time living in different areas gives people a much clearer idea of where they feel most comfortable year round.
Areas such as Moraira, Jávea, Calpe, Benissa Costa, Altea, and the Jalón Valley all attract different types of renters depending on lifestyle and pace of life.
Some renters want to stay close to the sea and restaurants. Others prefer quieter residential areas or countryside surroundings where life moves a little more slowly outside the summer months.
Winter lets on the Costa Blanca have become especially popular with:
A lot of renters are no longer simply looking for somewhere to sleep. They want properties that genuinely feel comfortable for everyday living.
Things people regularly ask us about now include:
One thing many people notice once they spend a winter here is how different the Costa Blanca feels outside the main tourist season.
The pace becomes calmer, restaurants and cafés are still open in many towns, and daily life feels far more local and relaxed. Places like Moraira and Jávea remain particularly popular because they continue to stay active throughout the year rather than closing down after summer ends.
Hamiltons has been helping international clients buy, sell, and rent property on the Costa Blanca for more than 25 years, with offices covering Moraira, Calpe, Jávea, Jalón, and Altea. Our rentals team focuses specifically on long-term and winter rental properties rather than holiday accommodation. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}
Many clients who begin by renting eventually decide to buy property in Spain once they’ve spent time exploring the different Costa Blanca areas properly.
