Globexs Expands to Elche

Globexs, the leading provider of rental accommodations for expats and digital nomads, is excited to announce Palmeras, its newest coliving project in Elche, Spain. With a growing demand for flexible and high-quality housing solutions, Globexs has carefully chosen Elche as its next destination, following successful coliving spaces in other vibrant European cities. The new coliving space, named Palmeras, will accommodate up to five residents and is set to become a haven for expats, remote workers, and digital nomads seeking a blend of comfort, community, and cultural immersion.

Beyond coliving, Globexs also plans to expand its portfolio of rental apartments in Elche, catering to the increasing number of foreigners choosing this picturesque Spanish city as their temporary or long-term home. But why Elche? What makes it such a magnet for expats, digital nomads, and remote workers? Let’s explore.

The Allure of Elche: A Hidden Gem on the Costa Blanca

Elche, often overshadowed by its more famous neighbors like Alicante and Valencia, is rapidly emerging as a top choice for expats and digital nomads. Located in southeastern Spain, just a short drive from Alicante, Elche boasts a unique blend of history, culture, and modern convenience. Here’s why so many people are now choosing Elche as their home away from home.

1. A UNESCO World Heritage City with Unparalleled Natural Beauty

One of the most striking features of Elche is its Palmeral de Elche, a vast palm tree forest that gives the city an oasis-like charm. This palm grove, recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is the largest of its kind in Europe, with over 200,000 palm trees shading the city. It provides a unique setting for leisurely walks, jogging, and even coworking in nature—a dream for any digital nomad looking for inspiration.

Besides its lush greenery, Elche is also home to the Misteri d’Elx, an ancient religious drama performed annually in the Basilica of Santa María. This cultural tradition has been recognized as part of UNESCO’s Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity, further solidifying Elche’s status as a historic and artistic hub.

2. An Affordable Alternative to Bigger Cities

Compared to its more tourist-heavy neighbors like Valencia, Alicante, or even Barcelona, Elche offers a more affordable cost of living without sacrificing quality. Rent prices are considerably lower, dining out is budget-friendly, and daily expenses remain reasonable, making it an attractive destination for digital nomads and expats looking for a balance between affordability and quality of life.

For those working remotely, cost-effectiveness is key, and Elche delivers by providing a high standard of living without the hefty price tag. This affordability is one of the main reasons why Globexs has decided to invest in Elche, bringing its trusted coliving concept to an up-and-coming digital nomad hotspot.

3. A Growing International Community

Elche’s expat community is thriving, with more and more foreigners discovering the city’s charm. With a welcoming atmosphere, modern infrastructure, and a laid-back lifestyle, Elche has become an ideal location for people looking to relocate to Spain.

Remote workers will find plenty of coworking spaces and digital nomad-friendly cafes, where they can set up their laptops and enjoy strong Wi-Fi, quality coffee, and networking opportunities. The city is also well-connected, making it easy to travel to Alicante, Murcia, and Valencia for weekend getaways or business meetings.

4. Excellent Connectivity and Infrastructure

Elche is conveniently located near Alicante-Elche Airport, one of the busiest airports in Spain, offering flights to major European cities and beyond. For expats and digital nomads who need to travel frequently, this proximity to a major airport is a game-changer.

Moreover, Elche has an efficient public transportation system with trains and buses connecting it to other Spanish cities. The Alicante TRAM system also makes commuting easy, allowing residents to travel seamlessly to the beaches, city centers, and surrounding towns.

5. Beaches, Mountains, and Outdoor Activities

One of the major perks of living in Elche is the easy access to stunning beaches and natural parks. Within a 20-minute drive, you can reach the beautiful white sandy beaches of Arenales del Sol, Santa Pola, and La Marina, perfect for relaxing after a productive workday.

For those who prefer hiking and outdoor adventures, the El Hondo Natural Park and the Sierra de Crevillente mountains offer excellent trails with breathtaking views, making Elche a perfect destination for digital nomads who enjoy an active lifestyle.

6. A Rich Culinary Scene and Local Markets

Elche is a food lover’s paradise, offering a mix of traditional Spanish cuisine and Mediterranean flavors. The city is famous for its local dish, Arroz con Costra (Baked Rice with Egg Crust), a unique rice dish that embodies the region’s culinary heritage.

The Central Market of Elche is a must-visit for those who love fresh, locally sourced ingredients. Here, residents can find fresh seafood, locally grown fruits and vegetables, and artisanal products—perfect for those who enjoy cooking at home.
