7 Perfect Gibraltar Properties for a Halloween Party

1. Europa Mews – South District, Gibraltar

£1,875,000

Why it works: Located in the South District, this property features a very large plot and includes private garden

Halloween party idea: Use a paddling pool as a “witch’s cauldron” zone with floating LED lights, the garden for a fog‐filled bonfire or spooky lounge, and the interior high-ceiling rooms for dramatic lighting and a DJ/cocktail bar.

Tip: At dusk, the sea view adds cinematic backdrop - ideal for ghost photos.  Encourage guests to arrive at twilight.

2. Main Street – Town Area, Gibraltar

£600,000

Why it works: This is a well-presented 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom flat (112 m² internal) in a charming late-19th-century building in the heart of town. Features include high ceilings, shuttered windows, two spacious reception rooms and access to a communal roof terrace.

Halloween party idea: Use the building’s heritage character and high ceilings for a “Victorian Ghost Gala” theme.  The reception rooms can serve as cocktail / mingling areas with vintage-style décor, while the communal roof terrace makes a perfect star-lit after-party zone for chilling out with drinks and views.

Tip: Being in the city centre means excellent walkability for guests (bars, transport) - keep the guest list modest so the indoor spaces stay comfortable and use the terrace space for breakout moments.

3. Witham's Road – South District, Gibraltar

£1,100,000

Why it works: This semi-detached Colonial style home built in 1884 has 3 double bedrooms, 2 reception rooms, vaulted ceilings, a fireplace, and a generous mature tiered garden (133 m² external, 138 m² internal) with al-fresco dining space, hot tub and en-bloc double garage.

Halloween party idea: With its historical charm and large garden, this property is perfect for a “Garden of Ghosts” theme - use the tiered gardens as different zones (haunted patio, some lighting wandering up the tiers), the interior reception rooms as cozy lounges with vintage décor, and the hot tub area for a “Midnight Mist” photo-zone.

Tip: Since it’s in a more tranquil setting, you could host earlier outdoor cocktails, then move indoors as the evening gets darker and the atmosphere intensifies.

4. Seashell House – North District, Gibraltar

£415,000

Why it works: This 3‑bedroom, 1‑bathroom apartment (approx. 92 m²) in the popular Seashell House offers an open-plan reception room and a private west-facing balcony.  Its location in the Beach View Terraces complex provides sweeping water views, modern interiors, and convenient access to the beach and local amenities.

Halloween party idea: Transform the reception area into a “Coastal Phantom Soirée.”  Use the balcony at sunset for a spooky cocktail hour with lanterns and floating LED lights, then guide guests inside for the main party.  Decorate with navy, sea-foam, and tomb-blue tones to combine seaside and spooky themes.  The bedrooms can serve as themed chill zones or photo booths, like “Mermaid’s Curse,” “Shipwreck Spirits,” and “Underwater Graveyard.”

Tip: Keep the balcony area cozy to avoid overcrowding and let the water view shine.  Subtle outdoor lighting (string lights or lanterns) enhances the atmosphere without overpowering the space.

5. Arengo's Gardens – Upper Town, Gibraltar

£750,000

Why it works: 3 bed apartment (111 m²) in Arengo’s Palace Lane, with sea views.

Halloween party idea: A bit more intimate, so perfect for a boutique “Masquerade & Mystery” party.  Use the sea-view windows for ambient light, have cocktail hour at sunset, then shift to indoor space.

Tip: With a smaller space, keep lighting and décor elegant rather than overwhelming; hire a mixologist for signature spooky cocktails (e.g., ‘Black Lagoon’ martini).

6. Boschetti's Steps – Town Area, Gibraltar

OIEO £1,000,000

Why it works: This extensive 5-bedroom, 2-bathroom terraced house (approx. 180 m² internal) is nestled in the historic heart of Gibraltar, offering a blend of traditional character and modern comfort.  The property features high ceilings, original shutters, and a spacious open-plan living area, making it ideal for hosting gatherings.

Halloween party idea: Embrace the property's historic charm with a “Victorian Ghost Gala” theme.  Utilise the open-plan living area for mingling and dancing, while the high ceilings and original shutters create an atmospheric backdrop.  Incorporate antique-style décor, candelabras, and vintage props to enhance the spooky ambiance.

Tip: Given the central location, consider offering guests a map of nearby attractions for post-party exploration, ensuring a memorable experience beyond the event.
