This detached villa stands in La Zenia on the southern Costa Blanca, roughly 700 metres as the crow flies from Playa Cala Bosque. Built in 1985 and recently renovated, the property offers five bedrooms, four bathrooms and 194 m² of living space on a 698 m² plot. A heated private pool, terraces and a south-facing orientation define the outdoor layout. The asking price is fixed at €1,150,000. The surrounding area combines beachside living with golf courses, marinas and daily amenities within a short drive.
Within La Zenia itself, the closest comparable listing is Villa Lysandra, marketed from €890,000. This villa's fixed price of €1,150,000 is roughly 29% higher, a difference that in this micro-market typically reflects plot size, condition and the specific distance to the beach, a factor of several hundred metres can move prices materially on the Orihuela Costa strip. Further afield, the comparison shifts in nature. Oceanic Apartments in Rojales, from €475,000, and Nueva Daya Villa in Daya Nueva, from €380,000, represent the inland segment of the same regional market: more floor space or newer construction per euro, but at 10-15 km from the sea rather than 0.7 km. Buyers weighing this villa against those alternatives are effectively choosing between beachside immediacy and modern-spec value. Relative to the wider Costa Blanca, La Zenia occupies the affordable end of beachside positioning. Equivalent villas within 700 metres of the sand around Alicante city or Javea generally command higher figures, while the Murcia border location keeps prices below Costa del Sol levels for comparable coastal distances. The area's density of golf courses, three within 4.3 km, also positions it against golf-resort zones like Villamartín, where new-build townhouses and villas trade on course proximity but sit on the plateau at 3 km from the beach. This villa combines both attributes at walking distance to the coves and a short drive to the courses, a combination that is relatively scarce in the immediate area. A second regional factor is the mature service infrastructure: 67 restaurants and multiple pharmacies and banks within two kilometres indicate an established, year-round urban fabric rather than a seasonal development, which affects both liveability and resale liquidity.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The villa sits in a residential street in La Zenia, part of Orihuela Costa, at approximately 22 metres above sea level. Three sandy coves lie between 0.7 and 0.9 km away in a direct line, and the gradient towards the coast is flat at 2.6%. The AP-7 motorway corridor and Alicante-Elche airport, roughly 42 km away by air, connect the area with the wider region.
The layout serves households needing multiple independent sleeping quarters. Three double bedrooms occupy the main floor, a fourth suite upstairs has its own external staircase, and a self-contained one-bedroom apartment sits in the underbuild with kitchen and bathroom. Air conditioning, a pellet fireplace and a heated pool support year-round occupation rather than purely seasonal use.
This is an existing home completed in 1985, described as key-ready and recently refurbished. No construction phase applies; the buyer acquires the property in its current renovated condition. Completion dates do not feature here, although a technical survey of a forty-year-old building is a customary step in the purchase process.
The property does not offer sea views, panoramic vistas or a gated resort environment; recorded views are limited to the garden and pool. There is no mention of underfloor heating, a heat pump, home automation or community facilities such as a gym. At 194 m² of living area, the house is compact relative to other five-bedroom villas, with the plot of 698 m² being similarly moderate.
This villa suits buyers whose priority is proximity to the sea combined with capacity for several people living partly independently. A family with older children or regular long-stay guests can use the upstairs suite and the underbuild apartment as separate quarters, each with its own bathroom and entrance route. Households intending year-round residence benefit from the heated pool, dual climate systems and the flat, walkable surroundings. Buyers focused mainly on holiday use will find the walkable amenities and the 0.7 km distance to the beach convenient, though the 194 m² living area is moderate for a five-bedroom house, which keeps running costs and cleaning manageable. The property is less obvious for buyers seeking sea views, a large modern build or a gated resort with communal facilities, none of these apply here. Those wanting maximum plot size per euro may find better value inland; comparable new-build villas in Daya Nueva start from €380,000, though without the coastal position. A car remains useful despite the local walkability: golf courses, marinas and the larger cities of Murcia, Elche and Cartagena all lie beyond walking distance, and public transport consists of nine bus lines with fifty stops in the area. Finally, buyers planning to let the underbuild apartment commercially should verify licensing and community rules in advance, as this determines the viability of that use.
The house dates from 1985 and has been renovated and refurbished in recent years, which places the interior finishing at a contemporary standard rather than an original 1980s state. The kitchen is described as a modern American-style installation, fully equipped and open to the living area. The principal bedroom includes fitted wardrobes and an en-suite bathroom with a walk-in rainfall shower; the family bathroom and the two additional en-suites also feature walk-in showers, indicating a consistent level of sanitary finishing across the four bathrooms. Climate control operates on multiple systems: air conditioning for hot and cold use covers the warm months, while a pellet-burning fireplace provides heat in winter. This dual approach is common in coastal villas of this age and gives the occupant control over running costs by choosing between electric cooling-heating and wood-based heating. The swimming pool is private and heated, which represents a technical addition beyond the standard unheated pool found in the region. The plot includes covered and open terraces, a built-in barbecue and gardens on three sides of the house. Parking is handled by a substantial garage with additional space for equipment. The underbuild has been converted into a self-contained apartment with kitchen and bathroom, meaning waterproofing and ventilation of this level deserve attention during a technical survey. As with any forty-year-old building, the structural condition, electrical installation and insulation values should be verified independently rather than assumed from the renovation works.
The asking price is fixed at €1,150,000. This concerns a completed, renovated resale villa rather than a new-build development with a price list, so no 'from' pricing applies. For context within the immediate market, Villa Lysandra in La Zenia is marketed from €890,000, while comparable new-build villas further inland, such as Nueva Daya Villa in Daya Nueva, start from €380,000. The price of this property reflects its beachside position, plot with private heated pool, and the presence of two independent living units in addition to the main accommodation. Availability is immediate, given the key-ready status.
Daily life at this address revolves around short distances and outdoor use. The nearest cove, Playa Cala Bosque, is under a kilometre away as the crow flies, so an evening walk to the sea or a morning swim requires no more than a few minutes on foot along flat terrain. The south-facing orientation means the pool terraces receive sun through the middle of the day and into the afternoon, which shapes how the outdoor kitchen and built-in barbecue area are used in practice. The heated pool extends the swimming window beyond the natural season, which runs about five months at water temperatures of 20°C or more. The interior layout distributes living across three levels. The open-plan living and dining area on the ground floor connects visually with the pool terrace through multiple windows, and a pellet fireplace covers the cooler winter months, when average monthly temperatures drop to around 11°C. The upper-floor bedroom suite, reachable by both an internal staircase and a separate external stair, functions independently of the main house, a practical arrangement for guests, teenagers or a rental unit, subject to local licensing rules. The underbuild apartment adds a second self-contained space with its own kitchen and bathroom. With 67 restaurants, 19 cafés, five pharmacies and eight banks within a two-kilometre radius, errands are largely walkable. A substantial garage and driveway provide parking and storage for bicycles and sporting equipment.
La Zenia forms part of Orihuela Costa, a coastal strip in the south of the province of Alicante close to the border with Murcia. The immediate surroundings are residential and touristic in character, with a tree-lined street setting recorded for the property. Amenities cluster densely: within two kilometres there are 67 restaurants, 19 cafés, five pharmacies, four dentists and eight banks, which covers virtually all daily needs without a car. The La Zenia Boulevard shopping area functions as the commercial anchor of the district. Three coves, Cala Bosque, Cala Cerrada and Cala Estaca, lie between 0.7 and 0.9 km away in a straight line, giving residents a choice of beaches within the same walking radius. Sports infrastructure sits slightly further out: Villamartin Golf at 3.0 km, Las Ramblas de Orihuela at 4.0 km and Real Club de Golf Campoamor at 4.3 km, forming one of the densest golf clusters on the southern Costa Blanca. Two marinas, Puerto Deportivo Miguel Caballero at 3.3 km and Real Club Náutico at 6.9 km, serve sailing and water sports. Electric-vehicle charging is unusually well covered, with three operators including Ionity at just 0.6 km. Public transport comprises nine lines with fifty stops, workable for local trips though limited for regional journeys.
The map shows the villa in its La Zenia setting, roughly 700 metres from the coves of Cala Bosque and Cala Cerrada. The surrounding area places three golf courses to the west, two marinas along the coast, and the larger cities of Murcia, Elche and Cartagena within regional driving distance.

La Zenia occupies a position on the southern Costa Blanca, at the point where the province of Alicante meets the region of Murcia. This border location places the property between two urban networks: the Alicante, Elche corridor to the north-east and the Murcia, Cartagena axis to the south-west, each roughly 36-42 km away by air. Within the Orihuela Costa strip, La Zenia is one of the most beach-oriented districts, closer to the coves than the golf-plateau developments of Villamartín or Campoamor. Compared with the Costa del Sol further west, this stretch of coast offers lower density and, on current data, lower price levels for equivalent proximity to the sea.
The nearest beach, Playa Cala Bosque, lies 0.7 km away as the crow flies, with Cala Cerrada at the same distance and Cala Estaca at 0.9 km, all reachable on foot over flat terrain with a 2.6% gradient. Alicante-Elche airport is approximately 42 km away in a direct line, making it the practical gateway; actual road distance is longer, and typical driving times are longer again. Valencia airport at 175 km and Málaga at 361 km serve as alternatives of limited practical use. Regional cities frame the area: Murcia with around 463,000 inhabitants is 36 km away by air, Elche with 235,000 at 38 km, and Cartagena with 219,000 at 42 km, all within roughly an hour's drive by road, giving access to hospitals, universities and larger cultural facilities. Golf courses sit within a 3-4.5 km radius, and the two marinas at 3.3 and 6.9 km. A car remains the standard mode of transport here; the nine bus lines and fifty stops cover local circulation but not regional commuting. Charging points at 0.6, 1.9 and 2.2 km make electric driving feasible.

The climate is Mediterranean with an annual average temperature of 18.9°C and monthly means ranging from 11°C in winter to 26°C in summer. This spread means genuinely cool months, winters require heating, which the pellet fireplace and hot-air conditioning supply, and warm summers where proximity to the sea moderates peak temperatures. The swimming season, defined by sea temperatures of 20°C or above, lasts about five months; the heated private pool extends usable swimming beyond that window. The elevation of 22 metres above sea level keeps everything flat: no hills separate the house from the coast, and the 2.6% gradient towards the beach translates into easy walking and cycling. Rainfall is low, typical of the south-eastern Spanish coast, and sunshine hours are high, which matters for a south-facing property whose terraces and pool area function as living space for much of the year. The nearby viewpoint at Torrejieva, 5.0 km away, indicates modest coastal elevations in the surroundings suitable for walks.

The coastline around La Zenia consists of a series of rocky coves with sandy entries, three of which lie within one kilometre of the villa: Cala Bosque and Cala Cerrada at 0.7 km and Cala Estaca at 0.9 km, all in a direct line. This density means beach access does not depend on driving or parking, which is a distinguishing feature of the location compared with inland golf developments. Recreational infrastructure extends well beyond the sand. Three golf courses, Villamartín at 3.0 km, Las Ramblas de Orihuela at 4.0 km and Campoamor at 4.3 km, sit within a short drive, so a golfing household can rotate between courses without long journeys. Two marinas at 3.3 and 6.9 km offer berths, sailing and water sports. For land-based fitness there is Sport Center Montepiedra at 3.6 km and Snatch Fitness Center at 4.1 km, while two swimming pools, Costa Marina at 1.8 km and La Caleta at 2.0 km, provide chlorinated alternatives to the sea. The Villa's own heated pool and built-in barbecue cover day-to-day recreation at home. The 67 restaurants within two kilometres indicate a mature dining scene along the Orihuela Costa strip.
