Buying a home is, almost by definition, an expensive operation. It is even more so in markets where supply is scarce and demand is strong. And the challenge multiplies when the search is directed to some of the most exclusive enclaves in the country, reserved for fortunes capable of affording prices within reach of very few. But even within that small group, there are categories. The ten streets with the most expensive homes in Spain are currently concentrated in only seven municipalities across three provinces: Balearic Islands, Madrid, and Málaga. In them, the price ranges from 15 million euros that must be paid to live on Camí des Salinar, in Andratx (Mallorca); to 6.3 million in the Cascada de Camoján urbanization, in Marbella (Málaga), according to an analysis released this Thursday by Idealista, based on the listings published on that real estate portal.
The ultra-luxury housing map thus suffers a shake-up at the top of the ranking, as the Mallorcan street, a promenade that borders the sea on the west coast of Mallorca, climbs to first place when last year it was third. Also notable is the exit of Barcelona from the top ten (last year an address in Sant Andreu de Llavaneres held second place). That gap has been more than filled by Madrid: up to four streets in the capital and its region suddenly enter the top of the ranking, when last year there were none.
With this, Madrid becomes the province with the greatest representation among the ten most expensive streets in Spain. Behind this change is also a methodological modification: Idealista explains that to prepare this year’s list it used the median price (the one that leaves the same number of homes above and below) instead of the arithmetic mean.
Despite Madrid’s push, the Balearic Islands lead the ranking with the most expensive street to buy a home and also place two other addresses among the top ten. To the 15 million euros median price reached by properties on Camí des Salinar, in Andratx — which surpasses by almost three million the record of the Coto Zagaleta Urbanization, in Benahavís (Málaga), from last year — are added two streets in Palma de Mallorca: Mossa Street, fourth on the list with 9.8 million euros, and Binicaubell Street, sixth with 7.9 million. Both are located in Son Vida, one of the most exclusive urbanizations on the island, known for its golf courses, panoramic views over the bay, and concentration of large mansions, many of them built since 2010.
Madrid has the greatest representation in the ranking, with four of the ten most expensive streets in the country, although its most exclusive property ranks second. The homes on Paseo de los Lagos, in Pozuelo de Alarcón, reach a price of 11 million euros. Also on the list are Paseo del Conde de los Gaitanes, in La Moraleja, fifth with 8.9 million; and already in the urban fabric of the capital, Serrano Street, eighth with 6.9 million; and Ortega y Gasset Street, which shares the same median price.
If the presence of the Balearic Islands and Madrid dominates the top positions of the ranking, Málaga is not far behind. The Andalusian province places three addresses among the ten most expensive in the country and confirms the growing weight of the Costa del Sol as one of the major hubs of luxury housing in Spain, driven by international demand and the scarcity of land in the most exclusive locations.
The best-positioned Málaga enclave is the Coto Zagaleta Urbanization, in Benahavís, which after having led the ranking for many years falls to third place in 2026. To buy a house there, one must pay 10.5 million euros. And just a few kilometers further south is Marbella, another classic reference in the ultra-luxury residential market, with two locations in the ranking. On Osa Menor Street, homes for sale reach a median price of 7.8 million. And in the Cascada de Camoján urbanization, located on the foothills of Sierra Blanca and considered one of the most exclusive areas of the municipality, properties on the market hover around 6.4 million.
More modest
But the panel of the most exclusive homes, spread across these three hotspots, does not concentrate all the luxury houses in the country. The Idealista study shows that, although at some distance from the most expensive markets, there are other enclaves spread across practically all autonomous communities where prices reach levels within reach of very few buyers.
Among them stand out some destinations traditionally associated with second homes or more than affluent areas. This is the case of Barcelona, where Tibidabo Avenue is the most expensive street in Catalonia with an average price of 5.98 million euros; or Adeje, in Tenerife, where homes on Macaronesia Avenue reach 5.95 million. Also notable is Xàbia, on the northern coast of Alicante, with Richard Wagner Street and a median amount of 4.2 million euros per property.
Somewhat further back are other locations such as Arquitecto Antonio Cominges Street in Vigo, which with 1.98 million is the most exclusive address in Galicia. Or also Zugazarte Avenue in Getxo, which approaches 1.8 million and confirms the attractiveness of the Biscay coast for the highest incomes in the Basque Country.
From there, the luxury real estate map fades and gives way to more modest markets, although with addresses that still mark significant differences compared to their cities as a whole. Santander (Cantabria) places Hernán Cortés Street at 850,000 euros; Logroño (La Rioja), Madrid Avenue at 700,000; and Murcia, Gran Vía Escultor Francisco Salzillo, also at 700,000. In Zaragoza, Ilustración Avenue reaches a median amount of 685,000 euros; while in Valladolid Santiago Street reaches 600,000 and in Pamplona (Navarra) Sancho el Fuerte Avenue is at 520,000. Below are Uría Street in Oviedo (Asturias), with 490,000 euros; Las Lomas urbanization in Badajoz, with 475,000; and Rusia Street in Ciudad Real, which with 335,000 is the most expensive street in Castilla-La Mancha.
