About the Playa Graciosa Complexes
The Playa Graciosa complexes were developed in phases (1, 2 and 3), but all share a very similar look, feel and build quality. Construction of phase 1 was back in 1999, phase 2 is 2001 and phase 3 in 2003. Each complex benefits from:
- Gated pedestrian access and secure entry to the car park
- Lifts to all floors
- Underground parking spaces with all apartments
- Private storage rooms with all apartments (trasteros)
- Attractive communal pool and garden areas
- Quiet, upmarket residential setting
Another key factor that enhances the appeal of the Playa Graciosa complexes is that VV (Vivienda Vacacional short-term holiday rental) licences are not permitted. This has a significant effect on the overall atmosphere: there is no weekly turnover of tourists, no constant stream of suitcases, arrivals and departures, and far fewer disturbances than in mixed-use buildings. The result is a consistently quiet, stable residential environment.
Playa Graciosa is also considered an upmarket development within Los Cristianos. The level of construction, the size of the apartments and terraces, the underground parking, and the price point naturally attract buyers who are looking for quality homes rather than short-term investments. These factors help maintain a calm, respectful community where owners take pride in the complex.
For semi-retirement, long-term living, or anyone wanting a peaceful, high-end residential setting close to the beach, restaurants and amenities — but just far enough away to avoid the noise — Playa Graciosa is hard to beat.
Playa Graciosa 1, 2 & 3 – Key Differences Explained
Playa Graciosa 1
- Slightly further back from the restaurants and bars compared to PG2 and PG3
- Still only a short walk to the front and to local amenities
- Has a tennis court
Playa Graciosa 2
- Centrally positioned between the other phases
- Closer to the front than the other two phases, although not by a huge amount
- The road to the complex has no through-traffic
Playa Graciosa 3
- The newest phase, though construction differences are minimal
- The closest phase to the El Mirador strip, where there are some excellent bars and restaurants
- Same high-quality finish and layout style as the earlier phases
All three complexes appeal to the same type of buyer, there are slight differences in the immediate locations but they are all in the same area of Los Cristianos.
Apartment Types in Playa Graciosa
Ground Floor Apartments
Ground-floor units are highly sought after due to their outdoor living space. They typically feature:
- Large front terraces and additional rear garden areas (typically 50 – 70m² of outdoor space, sometimes much more on the corner units)
- Ideal for dining, sunbathing, entertaining, or families needing extra outdoor space
Middle Floor Apartments
Mid-floor units offer:
- A single terrace off the lounge
- Terrace size roughly one-third of the ground-floor front terraces
- Bright internal layouts which are more or less the same as apartments on other floors
- Perfect for holiday homes or part-time living and often slightly lower priced than ground floors
Penthouse Apartments (Duplex Layouts)
All penthouses in Playa Graciosa follow a duplex design:
Lower Level
- 1, 2 or 3 bedrooms
- Lounge with access to a spacious terrace
- Bathroom(s) on the main level
Upper Level
- An additional room (often used as an additional bedroom)
- Many owners add a bathroom on this floor
- Access to a private rooftop terrace
- Terrace sizes vary with the corner units being the largest
Penthouse properties in Playa Graciosa often attract strong demand when they become available. Because all penthouses are duplexes with an additional room on the upper level, many owners market them with more bedrooms than are shown on the official deed. For example, a 1-bedroom penthouse is often advertised as a 2-bedroom because the upstairs room can be used as a second bedroom. Likewise, a 2-bedroom penthouse may be listed as a 3-bedroom, and a 3-bedroom can be presented as a 4-bedroom by utilising the upper-level room and rooftop terrace.
It is important to understand the difference when comparing properties and prices as you may well be comparing a 2 bed penthouse with a 3 bed penthouse and thinking they are the same type of property. The best way to check is ask: “Is this a 1 bedroom plus 1 bedroom” “2 bedroom plus 1 bedroom” “3 bedroom plus one bedroom” etc so you can compare like for like.
Typical Price Range in Playa Graciosa
While prices vary by orientation, terrace size and building position, typical ranges are:
- 2-bedroom apartments: €435,000 – €575,000
- 3-bedroom apartments: €535,000 – €750,000
- Penthouses: €675,000 – €1,000,000+
Correctly priced properties tend to sell quite quickly due to limited supply and the fact that there aren’t many complexes which offer the lifestyle benefits you will find in Playa Graciosa. Most prices reflect terrace size, position and condition – though now and then you’ll see an asking price that’s… ambitious. If you want a realistic view of value whether you’re buying or selling, I’m happy to advise.
