About
Sandra: Founder of WL Costa Properties
Originally from Ireland, I relocated to the Costa del Sol in 2016 with two babies in tow, a suitcase full of dreams, and a deep desire to create a new kind of life. I know firsthand how exciting鈥攁nd overwhelming鈥攕tarting fresh in a new country can be.
After navigating the challenges of moving abroad, settling into Spanish life, and falling in love with the Costa lifestyle, I founded WL Costa Properties with one mission in mind: to support fellow dreamers in finding their own slice of paradise here on the Costa del Sol.
Today, I combine my love for people, property, and practical advice to help clients from around the world confidently make the move鈥攚hether it's finding a forever home, a holiday retreat, or a smart investment.
I鈥檓 also the voice behind the chart-topping Costa Property Podcast, where I share real stories, expert insights, and behind-the-scenes truths about life and property in Spain. Just search The Costa Property Podcast wherever you listen.
Helping others turn their dreams of life in the sun into reality isn鈥檛 just my job鈥攊t鈥檚 my purpose.

Articles written or translated by Sandra Laurie
Starting a business with your partner sounds like a dream, Palm trees, shared goals, flexible schedules, maybe even long lunches in the sun. But here's the truth: building a business and maintaining a healthy relationship takes intention, grit, especially when you add the stresses of doing it in a new country. I have done it with my husband鈥攁nd we're still talking to each other!
