This renovated three-bedroom apartment is located in La Zenia, on the Orihuela Costa in the province of Alicante. The property offers 106 m² of living space, two bathrooms, a south-facing orientation and an all-exterior layout. The asking price is fixed at €247,000. The beach of Playa Cala Bosque lies 0.7 km away as the crow flies, and the surrounding area includes a wide range of restaurants, shops and sports facilities. The apartment is key-ready, with private parking and access to a communal swimming pool, making it a practical option for permanent residence, holidays or rental use.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
La Zenia forms part of the Orihuela Costa, a coastal strip in southern Alicante province close to the border with Murcia. The apartment lies within walking distance of several sandy coves, including Playa Cala Bosque and Playa Cala Cerrada at 0.7 km straight-line. The area around Cabo Roig and La Zenia concentrates bars, restaurants and shops within a compact radius, while three golf courses sit 3–4.3 km away.
The property combines three bedrooms and two bathrooms with 106 m² of living space, an all-exterior layout and a south-facing orientation that supports natural light throughout the day. It is delivered fully furnished and key-ready, with private parking and use of a communal swimming pool. For families, holiday users or buyers seeking a low-maintenance coastal base, these characteristics cover the main practical housing needs.
This is an existing apartment, originally completed in 1970 and recently renovated, not a new-build development. Construction status is key-ready, meaning the property can be transferred for immediate occupation. No planning phases, construction periods or developer delivery schedules apply. Any dates relating to completion are historical; renovation works have already been carried out.
The property is an apartment within an existing 1970 building, so it does not offer a private garden, private pool or detached structure. Parking is a private space rather than a garage in some configurations. There is no data on storage rooms, lift access or energy performance certificates. Buyers seeking newly built specifications, modern insulation standards or extensive private outdoor space should factor in the building's age.

This property suits several recognisable situations. A family seeking a permanent coastal home with three bedrooms, two bathrooms and walking access to schools of daily amenities would find the layout and location workable. The all-exterior, south-facing layout supports year-round living rather than purely seasonal use. Buyers looking for a furnished holiday base will value the key-ready condition: the apartment can be used immediately after purchase, with no renovation coordination or furnishing project required. The communal pool and private parking reduce maintenance concerns for owners who are absent for long periods. Investors considering rental use should note the location's fundamentals: a 0.7 km distance to the beach, a dense concentration of restaurants and shops within 2 km, and proximity to three golf courses. These characteristics align with the demand profile of the Orihuela Costa holiday rental market. The 1970 construction date means the building predates modern energy standards, which may influence running costs and any long-term refurbishment planning. It is less suited to buyers who want a detached villa, a private pool or a large garden, since the property is an apartment with communal facilities. Equally, those seeking a quiet inland or rural setting will find La Zenia busy during the summer months. For buyers prioritising beach proximity, walkability and turnkey condition within this budget bracket, the property's profile matches those requirements directly.
The apartment has been recently renovated, which typically means updated kitchens and bathrooms, refreshed surfaces and modern fixtures, though the exact scope of works is not specified in the data. The photographic material shows a modern bathroom with contemporary sanitary fittings, a functional kitchen with shelving and integrated appliances, and a bedroom with a large window and wooden flooring. These images support the renovation claim at a general level. The building itself dates from 1970. This has practical consequences buyers should weigh: construction standards of that period differ from current regulations in areas such as insulation, glazing, thermal performance and accessibility. Renovation of the interior does not automatically extend to the building envelope, communal structure or installation risers. Buyers are advised to verify the condition of the electrical installation, plumbing and any lift provision during the technical due diligence phase. The all-exterior layout means every room has an outside wall with natural light and, in most cases, direct ventilation. Combined with the south-facing orientation, this reduces reliance on artificial lighting during the day. The balcony with artificial turf overlooks the pool, providing outdoor space without gardening obligations. Delivery is fully furnished, which transfers immediate usability but also means the buyer acquires the seller's furniture choices. The communal swimming pool and private parking are managed facilities; pool maintenance is typically covered by community fees, the level of which is not stated in the available data and should be confirmed with the vendor or community administrator.
The apartment is offered at a fixed asking price of €247,000. This is an existing, key-ready property, so there is no price list or range of unit types as with a new-build project. The price reflects a renovated interior, three bedrooms, two bathrooms, 106 m² of built area, private parking, full furnishing and communal pool access. For comparison, new-build apartments in nearby Torrevieja start from around €160,000–€169,000, and units in Urbanización El Rasa from approximately €227,000, though specifications, locations and sizes differ. Availability is immediate upon completion of the standard purchase process.
Daily life around this apartment revolves around the coastal rhythm of La Zenia. Mornings can begin with a walk to one of the nearby coves, Playa Cala Bosque and Playa Cala Cerrada are both 0.7 km away as the crow flies, with Playa Cala Estaca slightly further at 0.9 km. The route to the beach is flat, with a gradient of about 2.6%, which makes walking and cycling practical options for most of the year. The immediate surroundings are densely served: within a 2 km radius the area counts 67 restaurants, 19 cafés, 5 pharmacies, 8 banks and 4 dentists. Supermarkets and shops are concentrated along the commercial strip near Cabo Roig, roughly 200 metres from the property according to the listing details. This density means that most daily errands, groceries, pharmacy visits, coffee, dinner, can be done on foot. The apartment itself functions as a practical family or holiday base. The 106 m² layout with three bedrooms and two bathrooms accommodates a family or visiting guests, while the south-facing orientation and all-exterior position support bright living spaces year-round. The balcony, fitted with artificial grass according to the images, overlooks the pool area, and the communal pool provides a swimming option without private maintenance obligations. Outside the summer months, the area becomes noticeably quieter, as is typical of Orihuela Costa resort towns. Restaurants and shops remain open to serve the permanent population, but the pace slows. The 18.9 °C average annual temperature and a swimming season of roughly five months with water at or above 20 °C define the seasonal pattern: active outdoor use from May to October, milder and quieter conditions in winter.
The area within 2 km of the apartment offers a complete daily-service network: 67 restaurants, 19 cafés, 5 pharmacies, 8 banks and 4 dentists. This density is characteristic of the Orihuela Costa, where tourism infrastructure doubles as everyday amenity provision for residents. Practically, this means groceries, medical basics and dining are reachable on foot for most errands. Sports facilities are also well represented. Villamartin Golf lies 3.1 km away, with Club de Golf Villamartín at 3.0 km, Las Ramblas de Orihuela at 4.0 km and Real Club de Golf Campoamor at 4.3 km. Three golf courses within a five-kilometre radius is a distinctive feature of this section of coast. Fitness options include Sport Center Montepiedra at 3.6 km and Snatch Fitness Center at 4.1 km, plus swimming pools at Costa Marina (1.8 km) and La Caleta (2.0 km). Marinas at Puerto Deportivo Miguel Caballero (3.3 km) and Real Club Náutico (6.9 km) serve boating and waterfront leisure. For electric vehicle owners, three charging options exist nearby: Ionity La Zenia at 0.6 km, Iberdrola at 1.9 km and Eranovum at 2.2 km, an unusually dense provision for a town of this size. Public transport covers 9 lines with 50 stops in the area, which allows limited car-free mobility along the coastal corridor, though a car remains practical for inland trips and airport transfers.
The map shows the apartment's position relative to the La Zenia beach coves, the Cabo Roig strip and the golf courses of Villamartín, Las Ramblas and Campoamor. The flat coastal terrain and the density of amenities within 2 km are visible in the clustering of markers around the property.
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
La Zenia occupies the southern end of Alicante province on the Orihuela Costa, close to the boundary with the Region of Murcia. This position places it between the larger urban centres of Torrevieja to the north and the Murcian coast to the south, roughly 36 km from Murcia city and 38 km from Elche. Within the Costa Blanca, it is one of the most amenity-dense resort zones, combining beach coves, golf courses and large-scale retail such as the nearby shopping centre along the N-332 corridor. Compared with quieter inland villages or the mountain-backed coast further north, La Zenia is a compact, service-oriented beach town with clear seasonal fluctuations in population.
The nearest beach, Playa Cala Bosque, lies 0.7 km away in a straight line, with the actual walking route somewhat longer. Two further coves, Cala Cerrada and Cala Estaca, sit at 0.7 km and 0.9 km respectively, giving a choice of bathing spots within easy reach. The terrain is flat, with a 2.6% gradient towards the coast. Regional accessibility is shaped by Alicante-Elche Airport, approximately 42 km away as the crow flies, a drive that typically takes around 35–40 minutes by car. Valencia Airport is roughly 175 km straight-line and Málaga airport about 361 km, making Alicante the practical arrival point for most international visitors. Larger cities provide wider services: Murcia (36 km straight-line, some 463,000 inhabitants), Elche (38 km, 235,000 inhabitants) and Cartagena (42 km, 219,000 inhabitants). All three are reachable within an hour by car and offer hospitals, larger retail and cultural amenities beyond what the coastal towns provide. Public transport in the immediate area comprises 9 lines serving 50 stops, mainly along the coastal axis. A private car remains the most flexible option for golf courses, marinas and inland excursions; private parking at the property supports this.

The climate data for this location 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. Winters are mild by northern European standards; summers are warm but moderated by the coastal position. The swimming season extends to about five months, during which sea water reaches at least 20 °C, typically May through September or early October. This defines the practical outdoor calendar: beach and pool use in the warm half of the year, walking and cycling in the cooler months. The elevation is 22 metres above sea level, and the terrain towards the beach is flat with a 2.6% gradient. This combination makes the area accessible on foot or by bicycle for most residents, including those with reduced mobility, though the 1970 building's lift provision should be verified separately. Natural surroundings are dominated by the coastline's series of sandy coves rather than large green spaces. The View Torrejieja viewpoint at 5.0 km offers a wider panorama of the coast. The nearby golf courses, with their landscaped courses, function as the main green environments in the immediate region.

The beaches closest to the apartment form a chain of coves along the Orihuela Costa: Playa Cala Bosque and Playa Cala Cerrada at 0.7 km, and Playa Cala Estaca at 0.9 km, all measured in a straight line. These are sandy coves typical of this stretch of coast, sheltered between rocky headlands such as Cabo Roig. Golf is the area's second recreational pillar. Club de Golf Villamartín (3.0 km), Las Ramblas de Orihuela (4.0 km) and Real Club de Golf Campoamor (4.3 km) offer three 18-hole options within a short drive, a concentration that draws golf-oriented visitors to this part of the Costa Blanca throughout the shoulder seasons. Water sports and boating are served by Puerto Deportivo Miguel Caballero at 3.3 km and Real Club Náutico at 6.9 km. Fitness and swimming facilities include Sport Center Montepiedra (3.6 km), Snatch Fitness Center (4.1 km) and public pools at Costa Marina (1.8 km) and La Caleta (2.0 km), complementing the apartment's own communal pool. For variety beyond the coast, the View Torrejieja viewpoint at 5.0 km provides an inland perspective, and the cities of Murcia, Elche and Cartagena, all within roughly 40 km, offer cultural day trips. The 32 local public holidays per year in Spain also translate into a steady calendar of fiestas and events in the surrounding towns.

Within its segment, this apartment competes mainly with new-build and key-ready developments in Torrevieja and the southern Costa Blanca. Apartments Palangre Beach in Torrevieja is marketed from €160,000, and Edificio Sun & Center, also key-ready in Torrevieja, starts from €169,000. At a higher level, Oasis Laguna 2 Phase II in Urbanización El Raso begins at around €227,000. Direct price comparison is imperfect: those figures are entry prices for new-build units, often smaller or differently specified than this 106 m² three-bedroom property. At €247,000 fixed, this apartment sits at the upper end of that comparison set, which reflects three factors: the recent renovation, the delivered furnishing, and the La Zenia location with a 0.7 km beach distance. New-build units in Torrevieja at lower entry prices typically offer modern building standards, developer warranties and current energy performance, advantages a 1970 building cannot match. In exchange, buyers here receive more built area, an established neighbourhood with mature amenities, and immediate availability without construction lead times. Locationally, La Zenia differs from central Torrevieja: it is smaller, oriented around the coves and the Cabo Roig strip, and closer to the golf cluster of Villamartín, Las Ramblas and Campoamor. Urbanización El Raso, by contrast, lies slightly inland near Guardamar, quieter and greener, but further from the beach than this property. For buyers weighing new-build specifications against space and walkability, the trade-off is clear: modern construction and warranties on one side, renovated condition, furnished delivery, three bedrooms and immediate beach access on the other. The 2 km amenity density around La Zenia, 67 restaurants, multiple pharmacies and banks, is at least equal to any of the comparable locations.
