The growing geopolitical tension in Europe has driven a notable increase in the demand for private bunkers. The prices for these shelters range from €49,000 to over a million, depending on their features and equipment. In Spain, inquiries have surged particularly due to the war in Ukraine and instability in the Middle East. Ignacio Gea Gómez, CEO of Murcia Bunker Solutions, notes that “there are many wealthy people who are afraid,” which has led to a rise in requests for these spaces. The phenomenon reflects not only the fear of a potential nuclear conflict but also the search for personal security in an increasingly uncertain environment.
The options for bunkers vary from basic models to luxurious ones, with prices tailored to the client’s needs. Some luxury models include amenities similar to a conventional home, while the simpler ones are designed to protect against nuclear, biological, and chemical threats. Amid this landscape, the World Health Organization has warned about the risk of a nuclear incident, which could further exacerbate the situation in the region.
