This two-bedroom apartment is located on the first floor of the Vistamar III complex on the Cabo Roig Strip, in the coastal municipality of Orihuela on the southern Costa Blanca. The property dates from 1970 and is offered key-ready at a fixed asking price of €179,995. It comprises 65 m² of living space with a lounge, open-plan kitchen, two bedrooms with fitted wardrobes, one bathroom and a private balcony. Underground parking is included. The nearest beach, Playa Cala la Caleta, lies approximately 200 metres away as the crow flies.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The apartment sits in the heart of Cabo Roig, a coastal district of Orihuela in the province of Alicante. The immediate area around the Strip contains a dense concentration of restaurants, cafés, shops and services. Three beaches lie within one kilometre in a straight line, and the town of Torrevieja is a short drive to the north.
The layout serves straightforward needs: a lounge with open-plan kitchen, two bedrooms with fitted wardrobes, a bathroom and a balcony reached directly from the living area. Underground parking removes the seasonal search for a space. The compact 65 m² footprint suits couples, small families or holiday use rather than households needing extensive space.
This is an existing property, completed in 1970, not a new-build development. It is available key-ready, meaning it can be occupied immediately after purchase. Buyers should expect the construction standards, insulation and installations of a building from that era, with any modernisation dependent on the current condition and future renovation choices.
The property offers one bathroom only and 65 m² of living space, which limits privacy and storage compared with larger apartments. There is no mention of a private garden or private pool; outdoor space is limited to the balcony. Communal facilities and community fees apply. The building's 1970 construction date means energy performance and technical systems may differ from current new-build standards.
This property fits several recognisable situations. A buyer seeking a low-maintenance holiday apartment within walking distance of the beach will find the location and underground parking practical. Investors looking at rental potential benefit from the year-round amenity base of the Strip and the proximity of three beaches, factors that support both summer and shoulder-season letting. Retirees or couples wanting a permanent base without car dependency can manage daily life on foot here, supported by pharmacies, banks and public transport within the district, the data records 11 public transport lines and 50 stops. It suits buyers with a fixed budget of around €180,000 who prioritise location and walkability over surface area and modern specification. It fits less well for households needing a second bathroom, substantial storage or extensive private outdoor space, since the dwelling offers 65 m², one bathroom and a balcony only. Buyers expecting new-build energy performance should also factor in that the building dates from 1970. In short, the property serves the buyer whose priority is coastal position and convenience, and who accepts a compact, older building in exchange for it.
The property is a 1970 construction, and its current finishing reflects a building of that generation with subsequent updates. Available imagery shows a functional kitchen with granite worktops and space for a washing machine, bedrooms with wooden furniture and ceiling fans, and views over the communal swimming pool area from the complex. Ceiling fans rather than ducted air conditioning are visible in the photographs; buyers should verify on viewing which cooling and heating systems are installed. The lounge is described as bright and opens onto the balcony, which provides natural light and cross-ventilation possibilities. Both bedrooms include fitted wardrobes, which adds usable storage within the limited floor area. The building benefits from a communal swimming pool, visible in multiple images, and an underground parking space is included with the property. As with any resale from this period, the technical condition of plumbing, electrical wiring, windows and insulation can vary depending on past renovation. An independent technical survey is the standard instrument for establishing this before purchase. No claims are made here about structural condition or energy performance, as these require on-site verification.
The apartment is offered at a fixed asking price of €179,995. As an existing, key-ready property it carries no staged payment plan or construction risk; the purchase follows the standard resale process. The price positions the home in the entry segment of the southern Costa Blanca market. Comparable new-build projects in the wider area start at €160,000 in Torrevieja and rise to around €227,000 at Oasis Laguna 2 in El Raso, though new-build pricing and resale pricing are not directly equivalent given differences in age, specification and community costs. Availability is immediate upon completion of the purchase process.
Daily life here is organised around the Cabo Roig Strip, a pedestrian-friendly commercial street where most everyday needs are met on foot. Within two kilometres the data lists 56 restaurants, 13 cafés, 5 pharmacies, 5 banks and 4 dentists, which indicates that groceries, medical basics and dining out do not require a car. The rhythm of the area is seasonal: lively and international during the summer months, quieter and more local outside the main season. The apartment's position on the first floor with a balcony off the lounge allows the living space to extend outdoors for most of the year, given the mild climate. Playa Cala la Caleta is roughly 200 metres away in a straight line, with Playa Fósil and Playa Cala Capitán also within a kilometre, so an evening walk to the sea or a morning swim is a matter of minutes. The terrain is essentially flat, with a gradient of only 0.5% towards the beach, which matters for anyone who prefers or needs level walking routes. Underground parking means a car can stay parked during daily routines, which is a practical advantage in a district where street parking comes under pressure in July and August.
The immediate surroundings are defined by the Strip, where the density of hospitality and services within two kilometres, 56 restaurants, 13 cafés, 5 pharmacies, makes the district largely self-sufficient for daily needs. The nearest beach is a two-to-three-minute walk at 0.2 km in a straight line, with two further coves under a kilometre away. For sport, Sport Center Montepiedra lies 2.6 km away, and two public swimming pools sit within a kilometre. Electric-vehicle owners have three charging options within 1.4 km: Iberdrola at 1.0 km, Eranovum at 1.3 km and Ionity La Zenia at 1.4 km. The Puerto Deportivo Miguel Caballero marina is 2.3 km away, offering mooring-side dining and coastal walks. Larger urban centres, Murcia at 37 km, Elche at 38 km and Cartagena at 43 km, all straight-line distances, provide hospitals, wider retail and cultural amenities. The area sits at 23 metres above sea level with negligible gradient, so walking to the beach, shops and transport stops is straightforward for most people.
The map shows the apartment's position on the Cabo Roig Strip, with Playa Cala la Caleta just 200 metres away in a straight line and two further coves within a kilometre. Golf courses, the marina and the nearest charging points cluster within a five-kilometre radius, illustrating how tightly the amenities of Orihuela Costa are grouped around this location.
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Cabo Roig belongs to Orihuela Costa, the southernmost coastal stretch of the province of Alicante, close to the boundary with the Murcia region. This position places it between the established tourist hubs of Torrevieja to the north and the Mar Menor and Cartagena area to the south-west. Regional cities, Murcia, Elche and Cartagena, all lie within roughly 40 km in a straight line, giving the district access to major urban services while retaining a compact, resort-scale character of its own along the Orihuela Costa.
Accessibility is one of the stronger aspects of this location. Alicante-Elche Airport lies approximately 44 km away in a straight line, reachable by car in well under an hour via the AP-7 and N-332 corridors; Valencia airport is 176 km and Málaga around 361 km straight-line. Within the district, public transport consists of 11 lines serving 50 stops, which covers local connections towards Torrevieja, Orihuela Costa and inland towns, reducing absolute dependence on a car for daily routines. The beach at 0.2 km, pharmacies and banks within two kilometres, and the La Zenia retail and charging hub at roughly 1.4 km mean that groceries, healthcare basics and services cluster close by. For golfers, three courses, Villamartín at 3.7 km, Las Ramblas at 4.0 km and Campoamor at 4.6 km, sit within a short drive. All distances are straight-line; actual road distances and travel times will be longer.

The climate is Mediterranean with an average annual temperature of 18.9°C and monthly averages ranging from 11°C in winter to 26°C in summer. The swimming season, defined by sea temperatures of 20°C or above, lasts about five months, which frames how the beaches are used: intensively from late spring through early autumn, with walking and shoreline use year-round. The elevation of 23 metres and the near-flat terrain mean no notable climbs between the apartment and the coast. The balcony gains practical value in this climate, functioning as outdoor living space for a large part of the year. The province records a median income of €15,750, and the area counts 32 local public holidays annually, which affects the rhythm of local commerce and events throughout the year.

Three beaches sit within one kilometre in a straight line: Playa Cala la Caleta at 0.2 km, Playa Fósil at 0.5 km and Playa Cala Capitán at 0.9 km, the latter near the marina area. This gives residents a choice of coves for different conditions and seasons without needing to drive. The Puerto Deportivo Miguel Caballero at 2.3 km and Real Club Náutico at 8.0 km provide sailing and marina facilities. Golf is well represented, with Club de Golf Villamartín (3.7 km), Las Ramblas de Orihuela (4.0 km) and Real Club de Golf Campoamor (4.6 km) all within a few minutes' drive, making the location practical for regular play. For everyday fitness, Sport Center Montepiedra (2.6 km) and two swimming pools within one kilometre cover indoor options, and the flat coastal terrain supports running and cycling year-round. The data does not specify Blue Flag status for individual beaches, so this should be verified separately.

Within the southern Costa Blanca segment, this apartment competes on position rather than specification. Comparable new-build offerings include Apartments Palangre Beach in Torrevieja from €160,000, Edificio Sun & Center in Torrevieja from €169,000 and Oasis Laguna 2 Phase II in El Raso from €227,000. Those developments offer current construction standards, better insulation and typically more efficient layouts, but at entry prices that overlap this asking price, meaning a buyer at €179,995 is choosing between new-build finish further from the beach or an older resale in a prime coastal position. The Vistamar III property's distinguishing asset is its situation on the Cabo Roig Strip itself: a 0.2 km straight-line distance to the sand, a walkable amenity base of 56 restaurants and multiple services within two kilometres, and level access to three coves. Inland options such as El Raso trade beach proximity for newer buildings and larger communal areas. Compared with central Torrevieja, Cabo Roig is smaller in scale and more residential outside the summer season, with a stronger concentration of golf courses within a five-kilometre radius, Villamartín, Las Ramblas and Campoamor. Regionally, the location benefits from Alicante-Elche Airport at roughly 44 km straight-line, competitive for the Costa Blanca South market. Buyers weighing long-term value should note that the 1970 construction may carry community maintenance considerations and possible renovation costs that newer comparables do not, while conversely the resale market here carries no developer risk or phased payment structure.
