Property for sale in Sea Caves: villas on the coast
Villas and detached houses make up almost all property for sale in Sea Caves, a coastal area north-west of Paphos. They usually have between three and six bedrooms, with four the most common, and many listings advertise sea views. Across the market, new villas and those still being built outnumber resales.

Living in Sea Caves: coastline, nature and everyday life
The coastline is rocky and cliff-lined, with sea caves in the rock and villas above the cliffs. The wreck of the Edro III, a cargo ship that ran aground here in December 2011, is a well-known sight: free to visit, with nearly 10,000 Google reviews. Further north, towards the Akamas, lies St George (Agios Georgios).
Shops, GP practices and pharmacies are in Peyia village, about seven minutes’ drive away, as are a kindergarten, a private English-language school and a state primary school. We also list property for sale in Peyia village.
Coral Bay, about seven minutes along the coast, has a sandy beach and restaurants; see our homes for sale in Coral Bay.
For a holiday or second home, Sea Caves suits buyers who want a coastal villa with sea views and outdoor space. Living here all year works too, but you will want a car for everyday errands.

Market asking prices, October 2026 (index.cy; Bazaraki, approximate, selected via the listing text; our own listings). Few listings per size, so treat these as a rough guide. New builds are usually priced plus VAT.
Within each row, a villa’s price depends on how close the plot is to the sea and whether the sea view is unobstructed. Plot size, a pool and whether it is a new build or a resale also play a part.
Among the four-bedroom villas for sale in Sea Caves on our own books, most are currently priced at around €970k or more, and about €1.35m is typical.

For other price levels, see villas for sale across the Paphos district.
Most villas here are listed plus VAT, so the asking price is not your total outlay; the costs are set out below.
Buying a villa in Sea Caves: VAT, costs and checks
VAT on new homes is 19%. The lower 5% rate is only for main residences up to 190 m² (buildable area) and €475,000, and only on their first €350,000 and 130 m²; holiday homes and buy-to-let properties are excluded. Almost every villa here costs over €475,000, so new villas usually carry 19% on the whole price. VAT and legal fees total roughly a fifth of the price.
Resales usually carry tiered transfer fees, not VAT. Since 1 September 2026, VAT-registered sellers charge 19% on buildings in use for under 18 months.
Worth checking
- Whether a separate title deed exists
- Permits for the villa, pool and extensions
- Plot access
- Any coastal or cliff-edge building restrictions (ask your lawyer)
- Pool and garden upkeep
- The six-month deadline for lodging the signed contract with the Land Registry
