This two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment in La Zenia, on the southern Costa Blanca, is offered key-ready at a fixed asking price of €275,000. The property measures 81 m² of living space and is sold fully furnished, complete with an underground parking space and a storage room. The residential complex includes three communal swimming pools, one of them indoor and heated, along with maintained gardens and a fitness area. The nearest beach, Playa Cala Bosque, lies approximately 0.7 km away as the crow flies, and the surrounding area offers an unusually wide range of everyday amenities within a two-kilometre radius.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The apartment sits in La Zenia, in the Orihuela Costa municipality of Alicante province. The location combines coastal proximity with a dense amenity network: within two kilometres there are 67 restaurants, 19 cafés, 5 pharmacies and 8 banks. Three golf courses lie within 4.3 km straight-line distance, and the beaches of Cala Bosque and Cala Cerrada are both about 0.7 km away. Murcia is 36 km away as the crow flies.
The layout serves two people comfortably, with an en-suite bathroom in the main bedroom and a second bathroom for guests. The south-facing orientation brings natural light throughout the day, and both the living room and the open-plan kitchen open onto the terrace. A separate utility room, a storage room in the complex and a garage space cover practical household needs. Air conditioning and a lift are installed.
This is an existing home, not a new-build project. The building dates from 1970 and the apartment is described as key-ready and fully furnished, meaning the buyer can move in directly after completion of the purchase. Delivery is immediate; no construction phase, staged payments or waiting period applies. Any renovation decisions are therefore limited to cosmetic changes rather than completion choices.
The property offers two bedrooms and 81 m² of living space, which sets a ceiling on household size and space for guests. There is no private pool; swimming facilities are communal. The building originates from 1970, so construction standards differ from current new-build regulations. The data does not mention a private garden, sea views or a lift directly from the data beyond the listed feature, and no price variation or unit choice exists at this price point.
This property fits several recognisable situations. A couple seeking a move-in-ready second home on the Costa Blanca will find the fully furnished condition, underground parking and proximity to the beach directly relevant: the purchase can be followed by immediate use, without furnishing logistics or completion waiting times. Buyers planning partial or full relocation benefit from the year-round service infrastructure, pharmacies, banks, dentists and medical-adjacent services within two kilometres, and from the heated indoor pool, which extends the swimming season well beyond the five months of comfortable sea temperatures. Golf players are another natural group: three 18-hole courses (Villamartín, Las Ramblas de Orihuela and Real Club de Golf Campoamor) lie between 3.0 and 4.3 km away as the crow flies, making a morning round practical without a long drive. The property is less self-evident for larger families: with two bedrooms and 81 m², space is the limiting factor, and households needing a third bedroom or a private garden would have to look elsewhere. Buyers specifically seeking new-build standards, modern energy performance, current acoustic insulation, developer warranties, should note the 1970 construction date and weigh the implications. Finally, buyers who value walking access to the sea will find the 0.7 km straight-line distance to Playa Cala Bosque, on a flat gradient, one of the strongest practical arguments for this specific location.
The interior is described as fully renovated to a modern standard, and the photographic material supports this: a modern bathroom with a glass shower enclosure, a kitchen with stainless-steel appliances, and a minimalist bedroom. The apartment is sold fully furnished, which removes a significant cost and coordination item from the purchase process, the buyer effectively acquires a functioning home rather than a shell to be fitted out. The two bathrooms, one en suite, both appear finished in a consistent contemporary style. The open-plan kitchen includes a separate utility room, a practical detail that keeps laundry and cleaning equipment out of the main living space, and both kitchen and living room connect directly to the terrace. Technically, the apartment has air conditioning and the building has a lift, which matters for everyday comfort and for accessibility in a complex spread over multiple levels. The communal areas are part of the quality picture: the complex offers three swimming pools, including the indoor heated pool shown in the images, an outdoor fitness area set among palm trees, petanque courts and a children's playground, with gardens described as meticulously maintained. The underground parking space is a concrete asset in this area, where street parking near the coast comes under pressure in summer. The main structural consideration is the 1970 construction date of the building itself: while the apartment's interior is modernised, buyers should verify the building's general maintenance state, community finances and any planned works through the standard conveyancing process, as these factors influence both living comfort and future costs.
The apartment is offered as an existing home with a fixed asking price of €275,000, this is not a from-price within a project price list, and there is no variation between units to compare. For context, new-build apartments in the wider region start at approximately €160,000 in Torrevieja (Apartments Palangre Beach) and €169,000 (Edificio Sun & Center), while Oasis Laguna 2 in Urbanización El Raso starts at €227,000. The asking price here reflects a completed, fully furnished property with garage space, storage room and access to communal facilities including a heated indoor pool. As with any resale purchase, the final transaction price depends on negotiation and the outcome of the standard legal checks.
Daily life around this apartment is shaped by the rhythm of the southern Costa Blanca: a residential area with a strong international population, extensive services and a climate that keeps outdoor life possible for most of the year. The apartment's south-facing terrace functions as an extension of the living space, usable from breakfast through to the evening thanks to the orientation. The morning routine can include a walk to one of the nearby calas, less than a kilometre away as the crow flies, and the flat gradient of roughly 2.6% towards the beach makes that walk manageable on foot for most residents. Within the complex, the three communal pools, including a heated indoor pool, allow swimming outside the summer season, which is relevant given that sea temperatures support comfortable swimming for about five months per year. Practically, the area works without a car for many errands: supermarkets, shops and the La Zenia Boulevard open-air shopping centre are described as a few minutes away, and the density of restaurants, cafés, pharmacies and banks within two kilometres means daily provisions rarely require a long journey. For longer trips, nine public transport lines with fifty stops serve the wider area. The surrounding Villamartín and La Zenia zone is quieter outside the summer months, when the tourist population shrinks and the neighbourhood reverts to a more residential pace, with the Plaza at Villamartín and its restaurants acting as a local meeting point. Alicante-Elche airport lies roughly 42 km away as the crow flies, about 50 minutes by car, and Murcia airport about 40 minutes.
The immediate surroundings are exceptionally well served for a coastal residential area. Within a two-kilometre radius, the amenity data counts 67 restaurants, 19 cafés, 5 pharmacies, 8 banks and 4 dentists, a density that means daily errands, dining out and routine care are all within short reach. The La Zenia Boulevard open-air shopping centre, one of the largest in the region, lies a few minutes away by car and covers shopping beyond daily needs. For recreation, the three coves of Cala Bosque, Cala Cerrada and Cala Estaca are all within 0.9 km as the crow flies, giving residents a choice of bathing spots within walking distance on a flat gradient of roughly 2.6%. Golf occupies a prominent place in the local lifestyle: Villamartín (3.0 km), Las Ramblas de Orihuela (4.0 km) and Campoamor (4.3 km) form a cluster of established 18-hole courses, and the Villamartín Plaza with its restaurants and bars functions as the social centre of the golf community. For those who prefer other sports, Sport Center Montepiedra (3.6 km) and Snatch Fitness Center (4.1 km) offer alternatives, and two swimming pools, Costa Marina (1.8 km) and La Caleta (2.0 km), supplement the complex's own facilities. Marina access is available at Puerto Deportivo Miguel Caballero, 3.3 km away. Electric vehicle owners can charge at Ionity La Zenia (0.6 km) or at Iberdrola and Eranovum points within 2.2 km.
The map shows the apartment's position relative to the three nearest coves (0.7–0.9 km as the crow flies), the golf cluster around Villamartín and Campoamor, and the road connections towards Torrevieja, Murcia and both airports. The flat coastal terrain between the property and the sea is visible in the contours of the urbanisations.
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
La Zenia sits in the Orihuela Costa, the southernmost coastal strip of Alicante province, directly on the boundary with the Costa Cálida and the region of Murcia. This position gives it a dual orientation: towards Torrevieja and Alicante to the north, and towards the Mar Menor and Cartagena to the south. Regional population centres, Murcia (36 km), Elche (38 km) and Cartagena (42 km), all straight-line, frame the area from three sides, while the immediate coastal zone is a mosaic of residential urbanisations built around golf courses and beaches. On the wider Costa Blanca, La Zenia is positioned as a service-rich, mid-price coastal location: more affordable than the prime zones of northern Alicante province, better served than purely rural inland villages.
Accessibility is one of the location's practical strengths. The nearest beach, Playa Cala Bosque, lies 0.7 km away as the crow flies, actual road distance may be slightly longer, on a flat gradient that suits walking and cycling. By car, Alicante-Elche airport is roughly 50 minutes away and Murcia airport about 40 minutes; the straight-line distance to Alicante-Elche is approximately 42 km. Valencia airport (about 175 km straight-line) and Málaga (about 361 km) serve as more distant alternatives. Regional cities are within sensible driving range: Murcia at 36 km, Elche at 38 km and Cartagena at 42 km straight-line. Public transport is available with 9 lines and 50 stops in the area, which is substantial for a settlement of this size and reduces car dependency for local trips, although a car remains the practical choice for airport transfers, golf and regional travel. Larger regional centres such as Murcia, with over 460,000 inhabitants, provide hospitals, universities and services beyond what the coastal zone offers.

The climate data points to a typical semi-arid Mediterranean profile: average monthly temperatures range from 11°C in the coldest month to 26°C in the warmest, with an annual average of 18.9°C. In practice this means mild winters where outdoor life continues, and warm summers moderated by the coastal position. The sea itself supports comfortable swimming for about five months per year, at water temperatures of 20°C or above, roughly May through October, while the complex's heated indoor pool extends swimming to the remaining months. The elevation of 22 metres above sea level, combined with the flat 2.6% gradient towards the beach, makes the area walkable without significant climbs, a contrast with the hillier zones further inland along the Costa Blanca and Costa Cálida. Rainfall is low by European standards, which keeps terraces and outdoor spaces usable for most of the year and suits the apartment's south-facing orientation, where the terrace receives sun throughout the day. The local calendar includes 32 public holidays per year, a reflection of Spanish festival culture that shapes the rhythm of life in towns and villages across the region.

The beaches nearest to the apartment are the small coves characteristic of the Orihuela Costa: Playa Cala Bosque and Playa Cala Cerrada, both at 0.7 km straight-line distance, and Playa Cala Cerrada's neighbour Cala Estaca at 0.9 km. These calas are sheltered sandy coves set between rocky headlands, typical of this stretch of coastline, and their proximity on flat terrain means they can realistically be used for a morning swim or an evening walk rather than being a destination requiring a car. Golf is the second pillar of local recreation. Club de Golf Villamartín, 3.0 km away as the crow flies, is a well-established 18-hole course around which the neighbourhood developed, and it is joined by Las Ramblas de Orihuela (4.0 km) and Real Club de Golf Campoamor (4.3 km), giving residents three courses within a short radius. For water-based recreation beyond the beach, Puerto Deportivo Miguel Caballero marina lies 3.3 km away and Real Club Náutico 6.9 km. Land sports are covered by Sport Center Montepiedra (3.6 km), Snatch Fitness Center (4.1 km), the outdoor fitness equipment in the complex itself and petanque courts. The View Torrejieja viewpoint, 5.0 km away, offers an elevated perspective over the coastline for those who want a change from sea level.

Set against comparable supply in the southern Costa Blanca, this apartment occupies a specific position. The three reference projects are new-build: Apartments Palangre Beach in Torrevieja from €160,000, Edificio Sun & Center (key-ready) in Torrevieja from €169,000, and Oasis Laguna 2 Phase II in Urbanización El Raso from €227,000. At a fixed €275,000, this property sits above those entry prices, and the difference needs explanation. What the buyer receives in return is a completed package: full furnishing, an underground parking space, a storage room, and access to a complex with three pools including a heated indoor one, items that in new-build projects are typically charged separately or, in the case of communal facilities, only available once the full development is delivered. Location quality also differs. The La Zenia position combines beach proximity (0.7 km straight-line to two coves on flat terrain) with an exceptionally dense amenity network and the three-course golf cluster of Villamartín, Las Ramblas and Campoamor within a 4.3 km radius. El Raso, by contrast, is a quieter inland urbanisation near Guardamar, further from the sea, while the Torrevieja projects are urban locations where beach access depends more on the specific block. The trade-off is age: a 1970 building carries different insulation standards, warranty position and maintenance history than a 2020s development, and buyers comparing the two should factor potential community works into the total cost of ownership. For households that prioritise immediate usability, on-site facilities and walkable beach access over new-build guarantees, this property competes on substance rather than on price per square metre.
