A Place in the Sun: Season 2025, Episode 48

2025 - 48: Costa Almería

The new run of the show that brings the sun to our sofas continues. Finance officer Ushma from Leicester has dreamt of owning a holiday home for 15 years, and with retirement just around the corner, now is the perfect time. She's set her sights on Spain's Costa Almería, even though she's never been there! But with its 130 miles of beautiful coastline and a mix of lively beach resorts and pretty whitewashed hillside towns, Ushma thinks it's the perfect place to find her dream home. John Lennon even famously visited the area in 1966 and reportedly wrote Strawberry Fields Forever there! With a budget of £67,000 and a little bit of wiggle room, Ushma would love a spacious, two-bed apartment within walking distance of a beach and with access to a pool. Ben Hillman lines up five great options, from a peaceful ground-floor apartment and a cosy countryside complex to a serene suntrap and a showstopping solarium. Will Ushma love any of them enough to put in an offer?
