Living in Cabo Roig, Orihuela | Costa Blanca

Character & Atmosphere

The defining feature of Cabo Roig is its unique geographical position, jutting out into the sea, which provides residents with panoramic vistas and easy access to the water. The area is characterized by its well-maintained, low-rise urbanizations and the iconic 16th-century watchtower that stands as a historic landmark.

It strikes a perfect balance between lively leisure and tranquil living.
