This detached villa stands in the established Villa del Cabo residential complex in Cabo Roig, on the Orihuela Costa in the province of Alicante. The property was completed in 1999 and offers five bedrooms and three bathrooms across a 92 m² living area, set on a 320 m² corner plot with a private swimming pool. Playa Cala la Caleta lies roughly 200 metres away as the crow flies, with Cala Capitán a short walk further along the coast. The asking price is fixed at €549,000 and the home is key-ready, allowing occupancy immediately after purchase.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The villa sits in a residential area of Cabo Roig, part of Orihuela Costa on the southern Costa Blanca. The nearest beach, Playa Cala la Caleta, is 0.2 km away in a straight line, and the terrain towards the sea is flat. Shops, restaurants and other daily amenities are concentrated within a two-kilometre radius, while three golf courses sit between roughly 3.7 and 4.6 km from the property.
The layout provides five bedrooms and three bathrooms, including a self-contained ground-floor apartment with its own kitchen, bathroom and sleeping area. The corner plot measures 320 m², larger than many others in the same development, and contains a private pool and outdoor space. The configuration suits multigenerational households, guests, or independent use of the annexe by family or tenants.
This is an existing home, not a new-build project. Construction was completed in 1999 and the property is key-ready, meaning it can be occupied directly after completion of the purchase. No construction phases, off-plan payments or indicative delivery dates apply. The ground-floor apartment has been renovated as a self-contained unit according to the seller's description.
The stated living area is 92 m², which is compact relative to the five bedrooms, indicating smaller individual rooms. Built in 1999, the property predates current new-build standards; no data is available on energy performance, insulation levels or recent upgrades beyond the renovated annexe. Parking arrangements are not specified in the available data, and no information is provided on community fees or annual taxes.
This property aligns with several recognisable buyer situations. A family relocating permanently to the southern Costa Blanca can use the five bedrooms for children or a home office, while the annexe absorbs visiting relatives without shared living space. Retiring couples who expect regular visits from children and grandchildren gain similar flexibility: the ground-floor apartment allows guests to stay independently, with their own kitchen and bathroom, while the main dwelling remains private. Buyers seeking a holiday home with letting potential can operate the annexe separately from the main house during periods when the owners are absent. The flat, short walk to the beach also suits owners who prioritise car-free access to the sea, including older residents for whom hills and long distances are a consideration. The property is less obviously suited to buyers wanting a modern new-build with current energy standards, given its 1999 construction date, or to those requiring a large interior footprint, since 92 m² across five bedrooms points to compact room sizes. Buyers who need extensive storage, garaging or communal facilities such as a gym or landscaped communal gardens should verify what the plot and the development actually provide before committing. In short, the combination works best where detached ownership, outdoor space and beach proximity outweigh interior scale and new-build specifications.
The property dates from 1999, which places its original construction in a period when Spanish coastal villas were typically built with concrete frame construction, hollow-brick partition walls and rendered exteriors. The available photographs show an open-plan living and kitchen area with a sofa, a living room with a wall-mounted television, and bright bedrooms with fitted wardrobe space. One bedroom photographed includes a floral textile scheme and wardrobe units; another shows a bed, chair and television, indicating that rooms are furnished rather than shell-finished. The ground-floor apartment has been fully renovated according to the seller's description, and functions as an independent unit with its own kitchen, bathroom, sleeping area and walk-in wardrobe, this is the most recently updated part of the building. No technical data is available on insulation values, window glazing type, heating or cooling systems, or hot-water provision. Buyers assessing the property should treat these elements as verification points during a viewing or structural survey: the age of the roof, the condition of the pool installation and filtration equipment, the electrical installation relative to current standards, and the state of the exterior tiling visible on the terrace. The terrace photographs show tiled surfaces and a rooftop chimney structure, consistent with a traditional build of this period. As an existing home, the property transfers in its current condition, so any modernisation works beyond the renovated annexe would be for the buyer to plan and finance.
The asking price is €549,000 as a fixed amount for the existing home; it is not a starting price within a variable price list. The property is key-ready and can be transferred in its current condition. Set against comparable listings in the wider region, apartments in Torrevieja from €160,000 to €169,000 and properties in Urbanización El Reco-area developments from €227,000, this villa commands a higher figure on the basis of its detached status, private pool, 320 m² plot and five-bedroom layout. Buyers should budget separately for purchase costs such as transfer tax, notary fees and registry fees, which typically add a percentage to the purchase price. No data is available on community fees or annual property tax for this specific property.
Daily life at this address is shaped by proximity to the sea and by the density of amenities within walking and short driving distance. The beach at Cala la Caleta lies about 200 metres away as the crow flies, with a flat route, which makes a morning swim or an evening walk along the shore a realistic part of the routine rather than an occasional outing. Cala Capitán is also close by. The immediate surroundings form an established residential area rather than a seasonal resort complex, though Orihuela Costa as a whole sees pronounced summer tourism. Within two kilometres there are more than fifty restaurants, thirteen cafés, five pharmacies, five banks and four dental practices, which covers most daily needs without longer journeys. For larger shopping trips, the La Zenia area with its retail centre lies in the wider vicinity, based on the charging points and marina recorded nearby. The villa itself combines the main dwelling with a self-contained ground-floor apartment containing its own kitchen, bathroom, sleeping area and walk-in wardrobe. This split allows two households to share the plot independently, for example a family with visiting relatives, or owners who let the annexe seasonally. The private pool and the corner-plot garden provide outdoor living space that does not depend on shared facilities. The rhythm of the area follows the coast: quiet residential streets in the shoulder seasons, busier beaches and restaurants in July and August, and a stable year-round community of permanent residents and international homeowners in between.
The immediate environment consists of the Villa del Cabo residential complex in Cabo Roig, an established neighbourhood of individual villas rather than high-rise apartment blocks. Amenities within a two-kilometre radius are extensive by coastal standards: 56 restaurants, 13 cafés, five pharmacies, five banks and four dentists, meaning that meals out, prescriptions and banking errands are all within short reach. For sports and leisure, Sport Center Montepiedra lies 2.6 km away as the crow flies, and two swimming facilities, Costa Marina and Swimming Pool La Caleta, sit within about a kilometre. The Puerto Deportivo Miguel Caballero marina is 2.3 km away, offering mooring-side dining and water-based activities. Public transport in the area comprises 11 lines with 50 stops, which provides a baseline of connectivity for residents who do not always wish to drive. The flat terrain towards the beach, with a gradient of around half a percent, makes walking and cycling practical for everyday trips along the coast. Out of season the neighbourhood is notably quieter, as is typical for Orihuela Costa, while the permanent international community keeps restaurants and services open throughout the year.
The map shows the villa's position in Cabo Roig relative to the nearby coves, the golf courses inland and the transport corridors towards Alicante and Murcia. Markers indicate beaches, marinas, charging points and sports facilities using straight-line distances from the property, so actual road routes may be somewhat longer.
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Cabo Roig occupies a position on the southern stretch of the Costa Blanca, in Orihuela Costa within the province of Alicante, close to the boundary with the Murcia region. The villa's location places it roughly equidistant from Murcia (37 km), Elche (38 km) and Cartagena (43 km) in straight-line terms, giving residents access to three substantial urban centres. Within the coastal zone itself, Cabo Roig sits between Torrevieja to the north and the golf valleys of Villamartín and Campoamor inland. Compared with apartment-dominated developments in Torrevieja, the area offers a lower-density villa stock, which is a defining characteristic of this specific listing.
Accessibility is one of the stronger features of this location. The nearest beach, Playa Cala la Caleta, is 0.2 km away in a straight line over flat terrain, with Playa Fósil at 0.5 km and Cala Capitán at 0.9 km. Alicante-Elche Airport (ALC) lies approximately 44 km away as the crow flies, a drive that typically takes around 35 to 40 minutes by car on the AP-7 or N-332 corridors; this is an estimate based on regional driving conditions, not a measured figure. Valencia airport is roughly 176 km to the north and Málaga airport about 361 km to the west, making Alicante the practical gateway for international travel. Larger cities in the region, Murcia at 37 km, Elche at 38 km and Cartagena at 43 km, all straight-line distances, are reachable for work, hospitals or cultural trips. Electric-vehicle owners have three charging options within 1.4 km, including Iberdrola, Eranovum and Ionity at La Zenia. A car remains the practical mode for most journeys, though the 50 public transport stops provide supplementary options.

The climate data for this part of the southern Costa Blanca shows an average annual temperature of 18.9 °C, with monthly averages ranging from 11 °C in the coolest months to 26 °C in summer. The swimming season, defined by sea temperatures of 20 °C or above, lasts around five months, which places beach use realistically between late May and early October. The property sits at 23 metres above sea level on terrain that slopes at roughly half a percent towards the shore, meaning no stair climbs or steep paths between the house and the beach. Rainfall is modest in this semi-arid coastal zone, concentrated in the autumn months, while sunshine hours are high year-round, supporting outdoor use of the pool and terrace across most of the calendar. The 32 local public holidays per year in the region reflect the Spanish calendar of national, regional and municipal observances. For residents, this translates into a Mediterranean climate where heating needs are limited and where the outdoor spaces of the plot are usable far beyond the peak summer weeks.

The beaches closest to the villa are small coves typical of the Orihuela Costa: Playa Cala la Caleta at 0.2 km straight-line distance, Playa Fósil at 0.5 km and Playa Cala Capitán at 0.9 km. These coves are within easy walking distance over flat ground. For recreation beyond the beach, three golf courses lie within a short radius: Club de Golf Villamartín at 3.7 km, Club de Golf Las Ramblas de Orihuela at 4.0 km and Real Club de Golf Campoamor at 4.6 km, all measured in a straight line. This concentration makes the location practical for regular golfers. Water sports and marina facilities are available at Puerto Deportivo Miguel Caballero, 2.3 km away, and at Real Club Náutico, 8.0 km away. Two swimming pools, Costa Marina at 0.9 km and Swimming Pool La Caleta at 1.0 km, supplement the private pool on the plot. Sport Center Montepiedra at 2.6 km covers indoor fitness and sports facilities. Taken together, the area offers a spread of active and passive leisure options within a few minutes' drive or walk.

Within the immediate regional market, this villa occupies a distinct segment from the comparable listings recorded nearby. Apartments Palangre Beach in Torrevieja starts at €160,000, Edificio Sun & Center (key-ready) from €169,000, and Oasis Laguna 2 Phase II in Urbanización El Raso from €227,000. All three are apartment developments, whereas the Cabo Roig property is a detached villa on a private 320 m² plot with its own pool, a product type that is structurally scarcer on this stretch of coast, where new supply is dominated by apartment blocks. The price difference is therefore partly a product-type difference rather than purely location. Geographically, Torrevieja offers a more urban, higher-density coastal town environment with a larger permanent population, while El Raso sits slightly inland near Guardamar with a more residential, expatriate-oriented character. Cabo Roig itself combines a villa neighbourhood structure with a beach-centred leisure economy, and benefits from its position on the boundary between the Alicante and Murcia regions, giving access to both the Orihuela Costa golf cluster and the cities of Murcia and Cartagena. Buyers comparing options should weigh the 1999 construction date and the compact 92 m² living area against the advantages of detached ownership, land and privacy, factors that apartment alternatives cannot match at any price within the comparable set. For households specifically seeking a detached home near the beach in the southern Costa Blanca, the supply of similar properties within this price band is limited, which shapes the competitive context around this listing.
