In this Rapid Communication we investigate spatially constrained networks that realize optimal synchronization properties. After arguing that spatial constraints can be imposed by limiting the amount of `wire' available to connect nodes distributed in space, we use numerical optimization methods to construct networks that realize different trade-offs between optimal synchronization and spatial constraints. Over a large range of parameters such optimal networks are found to have a link length distribution characterized by power law tails $P(l)\propto l^{-\alpha}$, with exponents $\alpha$ increasing as the networks become more constrained in space. It is also shown that the optimal networks, which constitute a particular type of small world network, are characterized by the presence of nodes of distinctly larger than average degree around which long distance links are centred.
