This completed three-bedroom apartment sits within the Mandarino residential complex at Las Colinas Golf, in the municipality of Orihuela on the southern Costa Blanca. The property measures 100 m² of built space, includes two bathrooms, a 20 m² private terrace, an underground parking space and a storage unit, and was finished in 2023. The setting is an inland golf resort roughly six kilometres from the nearest beaches, with 24-hour security, a communal pool and landscaped grounds. The listed price is €479,000, delivered fully furnished with ducted air conditioning throughout.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The apartment is located inside the Las Colinas Golf resort, approximately 111 metres from the clubhouse of Las Colinas Golf & Country Club. The nearest coastline, including Playa Barranco Rubio and Playa de Campoamor, lies about 6.2 km away by straight line. Orihuela Costa's urban services, including supermarkets and pharmacies, are within a short drive, and a supermarket sits 471 metres from the complex.
The property addresses needs for a low-maintenance golf-side residence with resort services: communal pool and gardens, on-site gym and restaurant, 24-hour security, lift access, underground parking and a storage unit. Three bedrooms and two bathrooms provide capacity for a family or visiting guests. The 20 m² terrace and forest-facing orientation support outdoor living during the region's long warm season.
Construction was completed in 2023, meaning the apartment is delivered key-ready with no waiting period. The building incorporates current technical standards, including Climalit double glazing, ducted air conditioning, electric blinds and a valid energy certificate. Buyers can inspect the finished property and communal facilities before purchase rather than relying on plans or off-plan schedules.
The property does not offer a private pool, private garden or direct sea view; the pool and gardens are communal. The nearest beach is approximately 6 km away, so this is not a walk-to-the-coast location. An electric vehicle charging point is 6.1 km away rather than on site, and the nearest hospital is roughly 12 km distant. Built area is 100 m², with outdoor space limited to the terrace.

This property fits several recognisable situations. A retired or semi-retired couple seeking a secure, low-maintenance base for the Spanish winter will find the resort's 24-hour security, lift access and on-site facilities aligned with that use. A golf-focused buyer, someone who plays weekly or more, benefits directly from the clubhouse being a two-minute walk away, with two further courses within a short drive. Families using the apartment for school holidays gain from the three bedrooms, communal children's areas and pool, though the single school within a 2 km radius and the 12 km distance to hospital services are relevant considerations for permanent family residence. Investors comparing this against Torrevieja stock should note that rental demand here is golf-and-resort driven rather than beach driven, which affects both seasonality and achievable rates. It is less suited to buyers whose priority is walking to the sea each morning, the 6 km distance makes the beach a deliberate trip, or those wanting a private pool and garden, which this does not provide. It also does not suit buyers needing immediate access to EV charging at home, given the nearest charging point is 6.1 km away. For a second home used in shoulder seasons and winter, the climate data, 18.3°C annual average, four-month swim season, mild 12°C winter averages, supports comfortable off-peak occupancy.
The apartment was built in 2023 and delivered fully furnished, which allows a factual assessment of the finish level rather than an off-plan assumption. The specification list includes Climalit double glazing in exterior joinery, a standard feature for thermal and acoustic insulation on the southern Costa Blanca, and ducted air conditioning, which distributes conditioned air through ceiling vents rather than wall units, typically quieter and less visually intrusive. Electric blinds are fitted, operable remotely or by switch, and the property holds a current energy certificate, though the specific rating is not stated in the available data. Internally, the kitchen is fully fitted with an integrated layout connected to the living-dining area, and all three bedrooms include fitted wardrobes, reducing the need for additional furniture purchases. WiFi is installed. The bathroom count of two full bathrooms for three bedrooms is proportionate. Communal infrastructure includes a lift, underground parking and a dedicated storage unit, practical provisions that distinguish completed resort stock from older coastal apartments. The building's 2023 construction date means current technical building code (CTE) standards applied, covering insulation requirements, ventilation and accessibility. The condition is listed as excellent, consistent with a recently completed delivery. No defects period or snagging information is available in the data, so buyers should verify this during viewing.
The apartment is listed at €479,000 for a completed, fully furnished three-bedroom unit of 100 m² with two bathrooms, parking and storage included. This positions it well above comparable new-build stock in Torrevieja, where apartments start from approximately €160,000–€169,000, and above El Raso at €227,000. The premium reflects the golf resort setting, 2023 construction, security provision and included furnishings rather than proximity to the beach. Delivery is immediate, as the building was completed in 2023 (indicative). No further phases or unit variations are stated in the available data; the price applies to this specific finished property.
Daily life at this address is structured around the rhythm of a gated golf resort. The apartment sits within walking distance of the Las Colinas clubhouse, meaning early tee times, the on-site restaurant and the resort gym are practical parts of an ordinary day rather than excursions. The complex itself is quiet by design: a low resident population in the surrounding area (under 4,000 inhabitants), 24-hour security at the entrance, and landscaped grounds that separate the homes from through-traffic. The terrace, at 20 m² and facing towards forest, functions as the main outdoor room for much of the year given the area's 3,848 recorded annual sunshine hours and an average temperature of 18.3°C. Practical errands are manageable without leaving the immediate area for basics, a supermarket is under 500 metres away, though a pharmacy requires a 3.7 km trip and healthcare facilities sit around 12 km distant. A car is useful but not strictly necessary for everything; nine public transport stops across three lines serve the wider Orihuela Costa area. The living-dining room connects to an integrated kitchen, which suits both permanent residence and holiday use. Residents who play golf benefit most from the location: two additional courses, Real Club de Golf Campoamor and Las Ramblas de Orihuela, lie within 3.2 km. Outside the summer months the area quiets down considerably, which suits buyers seeking year-round calm but is worth noting for those expecting coastal-busy surroundings.
The immediate environment is a gated resort set in a forested inland valley of Orihuela Costa, at 79 metres above sea level. Within a 2 km radius, the data records nine restaurants, five cafés, one school, two pharmacies, one bank and a dentist, enough for daily needs without leaving the area, though specialist services require travel. The nearest hospital is 12 km away, and the Polideportivo Río Seco sports centre is 3.4 km distant. Mobility data indicates a car is useful but not essential for everything: nine bus stops across three lines serve the wider area, and the supermarket at 471 metres covers routine shopping on foot. The resort's population context is small, roughly 3,889 inhabitants in the surrounding area, which translates into quiet roads and low noise outside the summer weeks. Larger urban centres are reachable for services and culture: Murcia (462,979 inhabitants) is 30 km away, Elche (234,765) is 33 km, and Cartagena (218,943) is 45 km. This places the property in a quiet residential pocket with substantial cities within a 30–45 minute drive, a configuration that suits residents who want calm with periodic access to urban amenities.
The map shows the apartment's position within the Las Colinas valley, with the golf course wrapping around the residential zone and the Orihuela Costa beaches roughly six kilometres to the east. Markers indicate the nearby courses, the marina, and the road corridor connecting to the AP-7 and Alicante-Elche Airport.
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
The property sits in Orihuela municipality, on the southern stretch of the Costa Blanca close to the Alicante, Murcia boundary. It is positioned inland of the coastal ribbon of Orihuela Costa, the beach zones of Campoamor, Aguamarina and Cabo Roig, rather than on it. Regional anchors are Murcia at 30 km, Elche at 33 km and Cartagena at 45 km, each a substantial city with full service economies. Alicante city and its airport lie roughly 40 km north via the AP-7 corridor. Within Orihuela Costa, the Las Colinas resort occupies its own valley, separated from the denser beachfront urbanisations, which gives it a distinct residential character compared with the high-rise coastal strips further north in Torrevieja.
Distances by straight line: the nearest beaches, Playa Barranco Rubio Cala de Campoamor, Playa de Campoamor - La Glea and Playa de Aguamarina, all sit between 6.2 and 6.3 km away, roughly a 10-minute drive in normal conditions. Alicante-Elche Airport (ALC) is approximately 39 km away, which typically means a 40–50 minute journey by car. Valencia Airport is 170 km distant and Málaga-Costa del Sol roughly 359 km. Golf access is the strongest connectivity point: Las Colinas Golf & Country Club is 111 metres from the property, with Real Club de Golf Campoamor at 2.7 km and Las Ramblas de Orihuela at 3.2 km. The Puerto Deportivo Miguel Caballero marina is 6.2 km away. Supermarket 471 m, pharmacy 3.7 km, hospital 12 km, and the nearest EV charging station 6.1 km. Nine public transport stops across three lines serve the area.

The site lies at 79 metres above sea level on gently sloping terrain inland from the Orihuela Costa shoreline, surrounded by the pine and Mediterranean scrub cover typical of the Las Colinas valley. Climate data records 3,848 sunshine hours per year, high even by Spanish coastal standards, and an average annual temperature of 18.3°C, with monthly averages ranging from roughly 12°C in winter to 26°C in summer. The swim season, defined by sea temperatures at or above 20°C, lasts approximately four months; outside that window the sea is usable for hardier swimmers but not comfortably. The inland position at low altitude means summer afternoons are warm without the immediate maritime cooling of frontline coastal property, while winters remain mild enough for terrace use on most days. The forest views recorded in the property's orientation add visual enclosure and shade in the immediate surroundings.

The nearest beaches are the coves and stretches of Orihuela Costa: Playa Barranco Rubio at 6.2 km, Playa de Campoamor - La Glea at 6.3 km and Playa de Aguamarina at 6.3 km. This section of coast holds multiple Blue Flag awards in most years, though buyers should verify current-season status with the national registry. Recreation is dominated by golf: three courses within 3.2 km, with Las Colinas itself an 18-hole championship layout metres from the door and Villamartin Golf 4.6 km away. Water-based recreation is available at the Puerto Deportivo Miguel Caballero marina (6.2 km). For land sports beyond golf, the Polideportivo Río Seco municipal sports centre is 3.4 km from the property. The resort itself provides the communal pool, gym and on-site restaurant, meaning day-to-day recreation does not require leaving the gated perimeter.

Within the southern Costa Blanca market, this apartment occupies a different segment from the directly comparable new-build stock in Torrevieja and El Raso. Apartments Palangre Beach and Edificio Sun & Center in Torrevieja start from approximately €160,000–€169,000, and Oasis Laguna 2 Phase II in Urbanización El Raso from €227,000, all substantially below the €479,000 asked here. The difference is structural rather than cosmetic: those projects sit in or near the high-density coastal belt of Torrevieja, where the trade-off is beach proximity against urban congestion, seasonal tourist pressure and, in some zones, older surrounding building stock. The Las Colinas setting instead offers a private valley with a single 18-hole championship course, 24-hour staffed security, a controlled-access perimeter and a resident population in the surrounding area of fewer than 4,000 people. For golfers, the configuration of three courses within 3.2 km, Las Colinas, Campoamor and Las Ramblas, plus Villamartín at 4.6 km, is a density of play rarely matched on this coast. The cost of that positioning is distance from the sea: 6.2 km to the nearest beach, where the Torrevieja alternatives are within walking distance of the shoreline. Buyers choosing between these options are effectively choosing between coastal immediacy and resort exclusivity. Within Orihuela Costa itself, properties inside Las Colinas generally price above the beachfront urbanisations of Cabo Roig and La Zenia per square metre, reflecting the resort's management structure and low density. Connectivity is comparable across the zone: Alicante-Elche Airport sits roughly 39 km away, and the future Corredor Mediterráneo rail plans and the AP-7 junction at Orihuela Costa serve all of these locations. For year-round residence rather than holiday use, the inland microclimate, slightly warmer summer afternoons, marginally cooler winter nights than the seafront, and the quieter off-season character of the resort favour this location over the more seasonal Torrevieja strips.
