This detached villa is located in La Zenia, in the Orihuela Costa area of the southern Costa Blanca. Built in 1970 and since renovated, it offers five bedrooms, three bathrooms and 178 m2 of living space on a 269 m2 plot, with a private pool and south-facing terrace. The asking price is a fixed €359,995 and the property is key-ready. The nearest beach, Playa Cala Bosque, lies roughly 600 metres away as the crow flies, and a supermarket, pharmacy and the La Zenia Boulevard shopping centre are within walking distance. The property is sold as an existing home, ready for immediate occupation.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The villa sits in an urbanised section of La Zenia, between Playa Flamenca and the beach coves of the Orihuela Costa. Three beaches lie within about 800 metres in a straight line, while a supermarket at 140 metres and a pharmacy at 69 metres cover daily needs on foot. La Zenia Boulevard is a two-minute walk according to the seller. Golf courses are a short drive away.
The layout serves two households or visiting family: a main residence with two double bedrooms, a bathroom with bath and shower, plus a separate solarium level with an extra bedroom and bathroom. The renovated underbuild functions as a self-contained two-bedroom apartment with its own kitchen and bathroom, giving flexibility for guests, extended family or rental use.
This is not a new-build development. The villa dates from 1970 and has been renovated, with completion of the works described as key-ready, meaning it can be occupied directly after purchase. The underbuild conversion into an independent apartment is part of the finished works. Delivery dates for existing homes of this type are not indicative planning figures, as the property is already completed.
The plot is compact at 269 m2, so outdoor space is limited to a low-maintenance garden, terrace and pool rather than extensive grounds. Access to the main living level and upper floor is via external stairs, which affects step-free use. The property is an existing 1970 build, so construction standards differ from current new-build regulations. No information is available on energy performance in the provided data.
This villa fits several recognisable situations. A family needing five bedrooms plus a separate apartment for grandparents or older children would use the underbuild independently while sharing the plot. Owners who expect regular guests can house them self-sufficiently, and the separate entrance structure of the converted apartment makes seasonal rental of one unit a possibility, subject to local licensing rules in the Orihuela Costa. Buyers relocating permanently benefit from the year-round services: the commercial centre, 66 restaurants within two kilometres, and medical facilities within reach, with a hospital about 10 km away. Those seeking a low-maintenance second home near the beach can lock up and leave, since the garden is described as low-maintenance and the plot is compact. The property is less suited to buyers wanting a quiet, secluded setting; the location is urban and active, close to a major shopping centre. It also suits those who prioritise walking access over driving: three coves within roughly 800 metres and daily shopping within 150 metres reduce car dependency, although a car remains useful for golf courses, hospitals and airport runs. Buyers requiring step-free ground-floor living throughout should note the external stairs to the main and upper levels.
The house was built in 1970 and has since been renovated, which sets the baseline expectations: solid traditional construction of its era, updated internally. The seller describes a modern bathroom with both a bath and a shower on the main level, and a generous upper-level bathroom with bath, shower and WC in the underbuild apartment. The kitchen in the main house is described as well-equipped, and the apartment kitchen as functional and modern. Photos show a kitchen with appliances and a window, a bathroom with bathtub and sink, a private pool with outdoor space, external stone stairs and a bedroom with wardrobe, which is consistent with the written description. Features listed include a private terrace, solarium, storage room, alarm system and private parking. The underbuild conversion is the most significant intervention: a former basement level turned into a self-contained two-bedroom unit with its own living, kitchen and bathroom facilities. Buyers of a 1970 property should verify the legalisation and building permits of this underbuild conversion through their lawyer, check the state of plumbing and electrics despite the renovation, and commission a technical survey. No energy performance data is included in the available information, so the efficiency of the building envelope cannot be assessed here.
The property is offered at a fixed asking price of €359,995 as an existing, key-ready home; this is not a from-price. For context, comparable new-build projects in the wider area include apartments in Torrevieja from €160,000 and €169,000, and apartments in Urbanización El Raso from €227,000, though those are smaller apartment units rather than detached villas with private pools. What the price buys here is a five-bedroom, three-bathroom detached property with 178 m2 of living space, a 269 m2 plot, a private pool, solarium and a separate two-bedroom apartment in the underbuild, in a walkable location near the beach. Buyers should budget additionally for purchase costs such as transfer tax, notary and registry fees, and verify community or municipal charges before committing.
Daily life here is organised around walking distances. A supermarket 140 metres away and a pharmacy 69 metres away mean routine shopping does not require a car, and the data indicates many amenities in the area are reachable on foot or by bicycle. La Zenia Boulevard, a large commercial centre, is described by the seller as a two-minute walk, providing shops, restaurants and entertainment throughout the year. The villa itself is set up for outdoor living: a south-facing terrace adjoins the open-plan living and dining area through patio doors, an upper solarium catches the sun for most of the day, and the private pool sits in a low-maintenance garden with seating areas. The internal arrangement splits naturally into two zones. The main house holds two double bedrooms, a modern bathroom with both bath and shower and the open living space. The upper level, reached by external stairs, has its own bedroom, bathroom and solarium. The ground-floor underbuild has been converted into a fully self-contained two-bedroom apartment with its own living area, kitchen and bathroom, allowing independent use by family, guests or tenants. Within two kilometres there are 66 restaurants, 19 cafes, 8 banks, 5 pharmacies and 4 dentists, reflecting the density of services in this part of the Orihuela Costa. The area is urban and busy, particularly in summer, which is worth weighing against the convenience.
The villa's position between Playa Flamenca and La Zenia places it in one of the more service-dense sections of the Orihuela Costa. Straight-line distances from the data: Playa Cala Bosque at roughly 600 metres, Playa Cala Cerrada at 660 metres and Playa Cala Estaca at 820 metres, all reachable on foot along flat terrain, with a gradient to the beach of just 2.6 per cent. Daily infrastructure is immediate: the supermarket at 140 metres and the pharmacy at 69 metres are closer than most urban locations can offer. The area intelligence counts 66 restaurants, 19 cafes, 8 banks, 5 pharmacies and 4 dentists within two kilometres. Public transport is present with 8 lines and 50 stops, unusual coverage for a coastal resort zone, which supports car-free living outside peak summer. For sport, Villamartin Golf lies 3.1 km away, with Las Ramblas de Orihuela at 4.1 km and Real Club de Golf Campoamor at 4.4 km. Swimming pools at Costa Marina (1.8 km) and La Caleta (2.0 km) supplement the private pool. The setting is urban and lively rather than quiet, and summer months bring noticeably more traffic and visitors to the whole Orihuela Costa.
The map shows the villa's position between Playa Flamenca and the coves of La Zenia, with the three nearest beaches a short walk away. Distances shown are straight-line measurements; actual walking routes may be slightly longer. The concentration of restaurants and shops around La Zenia Boulevard is visible immediately north of the property.
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
La Zenia forms part of the Orihuela Costa, the southernmost coastal stretch of the province of Alicante on the Costa Blanca, close to the boundary with the Murcia region. The location sits between the larger town of Torrevieja to the north and the golf valleys of Villamartin, Las Ramblas and Campoamor inland. Torrevieja, the regional service hub with hospitals and full urban amenities, is a short drive north, while the AP-7 motorway connects the area south towards Cartagena and north towards Alicante. The area combines year-round residential services with strong seasonal tourism centred on La Zenia Boulevard, one of the largest shopping centres in the province.
Beaches are the closest asset: three coves lie between roughly 600 and 820 metres in a straight line from the property. The supermarket and pharmacy fall inside a 150-metre radius, making daily shopping a walking matter. Golfers can reach three courses within about 4.4 km: Villamartin (3.1 km), Las Ramblas de Orihuela (4.1 km) and Campoamor (4.4 km). Two marinas, Puerto Deportivo Miguel Caballero (3.3 km) and Real Club Nautico (6.9 km), serve boating interests. The hospital is 10 km away, so medical care requires a car or taxi. Alicante-Elche airport lies approximately 42 km away in a straight line, Valencia about 175 km and Malaga around 361 km; actual road distances and travel times are longer. For electric vehicles, charging points are dense: Ionity La Zenia at 0.6 km, plus Iberdrola and Eranovum points within 2.2 km. With 8 bus lines and 50 stops in the area, the location functions without a car for most daily needs, though a vehicle broadens access considerably.

La Zenia sits at 22 metres above sea level with a gradient to the beach of only 2.6 per cent, so the terrain is flat throughout the immediate area. The climate data shows average monthly temperatures ranging from 10°C in the coolest month to 27°C in the warmest, with an annual average of 18.9°C. The swimming season lasts about six months, defined by sea temperatures of 20°C or above, which typically runs from late spring into autumn. This pattern supports the outdoor layout of the property: the south-facing terrace and upper solarium receive substantial sun exposure, and the private pool is usable across the warmer half of the year. The nearby coastline consists of small coves rather than long open strands, giving the shore a more sheltered character. Rainfall data is not specified in the available figures, but the regional pattern of the southern Costa Blanca is dry and sunny, consistent with the temperature range provided.

The three nearest beaches are all coves within walking distance: Playa Cala Bosque at roughly 600 metres, Playa Cala Cerrada at 660 metres and Playa Cala Estaca at 820 metres, measured in a straight line. This cove coastline is characteristic of the Orihuela Costa, offering smaller, more enclosed swimming spots than the broad urban beaches of Torrevieja to the north. Recreation beyond the beach is well covered: three golf courses sit within 4.4 km (Villamartin, Las Ramblas de Orihuela and Campoamor), making the location practical for regular golfers. Sports centres include Sport Center Montepiedra at 3.6 km and Snatch Fitness Center at 4.1 km, while public swimming pools at Costa Marina and La Caleta are within 2.0 km. For walking and views, the Torrejieja viewpoint is 5.0 km away. Two marinas at 3.3 km and 6.9 km cover sailing and water activities. The restaurant density, 66 within two kilometres, reflects the leisure character of the area around La Zenia Boulevard.

Within its own market segment, this villa occupies a specific position: it is an existing detached house with a private pool in a walkable coastal location, priced at €359,995. The comparable projects listed are new-build apartments at notably lower entry points: Palangre Beach in Torrevieja from €160,000, Sun & Center in Torrevieja from €169,000 and Oasis Laguna 2 in Urbanización El Raso from €227,000. The difference in product type is central to the comparison. Those projects offer modern construction, current building regulations and communal facilities, but in apartment form with communal pools and shared spaces. This property offers land ownership of a 269 m2 plot, a private pool, five bedrooms spread over three distinct zones, and rental or guest flexibility through the self-contained underbuild apartment, in exchange for 1970 construction that has been renovated rather than newly built. Locationally, La Zenia differs from the comparables. Torrevieja is a larger, denser town with broader services and broader beaches. El Raso lies further inland near the salt lakes, quieter and cheaper but not within walking distance of the sea. La Zenia sits between the two: urban and busy, but with coves at 600 metres, La Zenia Boulevard on the doorstep and three golf courses within a short drive. The Orihuela Costa generally trades at a premium over inland Torrevieja districts for proximity to the beach. Buyers weighing this villa against new-build apartments should factor in maintenance responsibility for the entire plot and building, the absence of a developer warranty, and the need to verify the underbuild conversion legally, against the benefits of space, privacy and dual-unit use that no apartment at these price points can match.
