Demolition of Babilonia homes would not begin before February 2027
The project affects around 60 homes, and half of their owners are said to have dropped out of the joint demolition scheme.
Demolition of the homes on Babilonia beach in Guardamar del Segura would not begin before February 2027, according to the forecast given by Mayor José Luis Sáez. This is an estimated timeframe, not an official start date.
The project affects around 60 single-storey homes. Around half of the owners no longer want to take part in the joint demolition scheme, so individual projects are being prepared and the administrative process is taking longer.
In May 2025, the owners proposed a joint demolition, at an estimated cost of €250,000, or between €4,000 and €4,500 per home. The owners are responsible for carrying it out or, if they do not, the competent public authority must do so and comply with the court rulings.
In its ruling of 22 October 2026, the Constitutional Court said that demolition had already been ordered by final court judgments and was awaiting implementation. The concessions for the homes expired in 2018.
