This detached villa is located in Orihuela Costa, in the south of the province of Alicante on the Costa Blanca. The property offers 191 m² of living space on a 400 m² plot, with three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a private pool and a garden. The house was completed in 1970 and is key-ready, with a fixed asking price of €1,100,000. The location lies within walking distance of La Zenia Boulevard shopping centre and La Zenia Beach, and is surrounded by an extensive range of restaurants, cafés and other amenities within a two-kilometre radius.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
Orihuela Costa sits on the southern Costa Blanca, close to the boundary with the Region of Murcia. The villa lies a short walk from La Zenia Beach and the La Zenia Boulevard shopping centre. Three golf clubs are located between roughly 8 and 10 kilometres away, while Alicante-Elche airport is approximately 34 kilometres away as the crow flies.
The house is arranged across two floors, with a living room featuring a wood-burning fireplace, a dining area, a fully equipped kitchen, three bedrooms and two bathrooms. The principal bedroom includes a walk-in wardrobe and access to a private terrace with pergola. Outdoor space consists of a garden, terraces and a private swimming pool.
This is an existing home, originally completed in 1970, delivered key-ready and fully furnished. Technical installations include air conditioning in the bedrooms and lounges, central heating via radiators, and photovoltaic solar panels. No construction phase or delivery period applies; the property can be occupied directly after purchase.
The property has three bedrooms and two bathrooms on a 400 m² plot, which sets a clear limit on scale for households needing more rooms. No garage, parking spaces on title, or communal facilities are listed in the available data. The building dates from 1970, so construction methods and insulation standards differ from current new-build regulations.
This property fits several recognisable situations. A household relocating permanently to the Costa Blanca that wants a detached house rather than an apartment will find the layout practical: three bedrooms, two lounges and single-level day living on the ground floor. Buyers seeking a second home within a short flight of northern Europe benefit from Alicante-Elche airport at roughly 34 kilometres straight-line, and from a house that needs no renovation before first use. Retirees who want year-round residence will note the central heating, fireplace and air conditioning, a combination that covers both cool winter evenings and hot summer months. Households that regularly receive guests can use the upper-floor lounge and second bedroom as a semi-independent zone. The villa also suits buyers who prioritise walkability: beach, shopping centre, restaurants and medical amenities are all close by, reducing dependence on a car for daily needs. Conversely, buyers needing four or more bedrooms, a large plot, or brand-new construction should compare this property against new-build alternatives. Those wanting a quiet rural setting will find Orihuela Costa busier and more tourist-oriented than inland towns. The 1970 construction date means the house carries the character and dimensions of its period rather than contemporary new-build standards, which some buyers see as an advantage in space and others as a consideration regarding insulation and maintenance.
The villa is delivered fully furnished, which in practice means the interior is equipped for immediate occupation. Climate control is covered on three fronts: air conditioning units in the bedrooms and lounges, central heating via radiators throughout, and a wood-burning fireplace in the main living room. This layered approach is relevant in a climate where monthly averages range from about 12°C in winter to 26°C in summer, heating matters as much as cooling for year-round residents. Photovoltaic solar panels are installed, reducing electricity consumption, a meaningful running-cost factor given air conditioning and heating use. The interior layout indicates a considered finish: the principal bedroom has a walk-in wardrobe and opens onto a private terrace shaded by a wooden pergola; the second bathroom has a double vanity; the ground-floor bathroom doubles as a laundry area, and a separate utility room and storage room are listed in the features. The kitchen is fully equipped with appliances. Interior images show a living room with fireplace and sofa, a bedroom with garden-facing window, and a bathroom with shower cabin and green tiling, an established, individually styled finish rather than a developer-standard specification. As the house dates from 1970, buyers are advised to have a technical survey assess the building's current condition, insulation and installations, since documentation of successive renovations is not included in the available data.
The asking price is a fixed €1,100,000 for the property as a whole; this is an existing home, not a new-build development with a price list. The price reflects the property type, a detached villa with private pool on a 400 m² plot within walking distance of the beach and a large shopping centre in Orihuela Costa. For context, nearby new-build apartment projects in Torrevieja and Urbanización El Raso start between roughly €160,000 and €227,000, which illustrates the price gap between apartments and detached villas in this stretch of coast. The house is key-ready and delivered fully furnished, which affects the total cost of moving in. Availability details and viewing arrangements can be requested directly.
Daily life around this villa revolves around the combination of a residential coastal setting and an unusually dense amenity base. Within two kilometres there are 49 restaurants, 17 cafés, five pharmacies, seven banks and four dental practices, meaning most errands can be done on foot or by a short drive. The La Zenia Boulevard shopping centre is within walking distance and covers shopping, dining and services in one place. La Zenia Beach is likewise reachable on foot, which shapes the daily rhythm: morning walks along the shore, afternoons around the private pool, and evenings on the terrace. The house itself supports this pattern. The ground floor combines the living room with fireplace, kitchen and one bedroom, so day-to-day living can take place on a single level. The upper floor holds two further bedrooms and a second lounge, giving separation between sleeping and living zones, practical for guests or for households where some members retire early. The shaded pergola terrace off the principal bedroom offers a quieter outdoor spot away from the pool area. Orihuela Costa has a seasonal character: busy in summer with holiday visitors, considerably calmer in winter when many second homes stand empty. Public transport is present, 13 lines and 50 stops, but as in most of the Spanish coastal belt, a car remains the practical mode for regional trips.
The immediate environment is amenity-dense for a coastal residential area. The two-kilometre radius counts 49 restaurants, 17 cafés, five pharmacies, seven banks and four dentists, an unusually complete everyday provision that reduces the need to travel for groceries, dining or basic healthcare. La Zenia Boulevard, one of the largest shopping centres in the province, is within walking distance and functions as the area's commercial anchor. Sports facilities nearby include Club de Taekwondo Draco Kwan at 2.6 km straight-line, CF Torrevieja at 4.6 km and the Palacio de Deportes Infanta Cristina at 4.9 km. For boat owners or marina users, Real Club Náutico lies about 5.5 km away as the crow flies. Electric-vehicle charging is available at Iberdrola Oasis Center (6.6 km) and Ionity La Zenia (9.3 km). Larger cities are all reachable for day trips: Murcia at 35 km straight-line with around 463,000 inhabitants, Cartagena at 39 km, and Elche at 41 km. Note that straight-line distances translate into longer road distances in practice.

Orihuela Costa occupies the southernmost coastal tip of the province of Alicante, immediately north of the boundary with the Region of Murcia. The position places it between two urban anchors: Torrevieja a few kilometres north and the Mar Menor area to the south. Regional cities, Murcia, Cartagena and Elche, all lie between roughly 35 and 41 kilometres straight-line, making the location central to the southern Costa Blanca rather than tied to one city. Within the Costa Blanca property market, Orihuela Costa is known for its international residential character and its concentration of golf and beach amenities.
La Zenia Beach is within walking distance, and the Real Club Náutico marina is about 5.5 km away as the crow flies. Three golf courses sit in a ring around the area: Club de Golf La Finca at 8.2 km, Club de Golf Villamartín at 8.3 km and Real Club de Golf Campoamor at 9.9 km straight-line. Alicante-Elche airport is roughly 34 km away in a straight line, the main arrival point for international flights; Valencia airport lies about 166 km away and Málaga-Costa del Sol about 365 km. Public transport in the area consists of 13 lines serving 50 stops, sufficient for local connections along the coast, though regional journeys are generally more practical by car. Road access runs via the AP-7 motorway and the N-332 coastal road, which connect Orihuela Costa with Torrevieja to the north and the Mar Menor region to the south.

Orihuela Costa lies at sea level, on low-lying ground around four metres below the reference datum, so terrain is flat throughout, no slopes affect walking or cycling. The climate is Mediterranean with an average annual temperature of 18.8°C and monthly averages ranging from about 12°C in the coolest months to 26°C in summer. The swimming season extends over roughly five months, during which sea temperature stays at or above 20°C, which frames the outdoor season around the pool and beach from late spring into early autumn. Winters are mild by northern European standards, but evenings in December and January can feel cool in an older building, which is why the villa's central heating and fireplace carry practical weight. Rainfall concentrates in autumn, while summer months are predominantly dry and sunny. The flat coastal landscape means open horizons and sea breezes rather than mountain views.

La Zenia Beach is within walking distance of the villa and functions as the default seaside option for daily use. Along this stretch of the Orihuela Costa shoreline, a series of sandy coves and beaches lies between Punta Prima and Cabo Roig. Golf is the area's second recreational pillar: three courses, La Finca (8.2 km), Villamartín (8.3 km) and Campoamor (9.9 km), all straight-line, sit within a short drive, giving residents a choice of clubs within a quarter-hour by car. Organised sport is available at the taekwondo club 2.6 km away and at the Palacio de Deportes Infanta Cristina in Torrevieja at 4.9 km, which hosts municipal sports facilities. The private pool and garden extend the swimming season beyond the sea season, since the pool can be used on warm days outside the five months of sea temperatures above 20°C. For walkers and cyclists, the flat terrain and the coastal promenade connecting the Orihuela Costa beaches provide car-free routes.

Within its own market segment, this villa competes with other detached houses in Orihuela Costa and the adjacent Torrevieja municipality, where the combination of a private pool, a walkable beach location and a full amenity base is relatively scarce at this price level. The available comparable projects are all apartment developments, which underlines how the segments differ: APARTMENTS PALANGRE BEACH in Torrevieja starts at €160,000, EDIFICIO SUN & CENTER at €169,000, and OASIS LAGUNA 2 Phase II in Urbanización El Raso at €227,000. These new-build apartments cost a fraction of the villa's €1,100,000 asking price, but they offer apartment living, communal rather than private outdoor space, and typically two bedrooms rather than three spread over two floors. Buyers weighing this villa against such projects are effectively choosing between new construction with modern specifications on one hand, and an older detached house with a private plot, pool and garden on the other. Location-wise, Orihuela Costa sits at the southern end of the Alicante coastline, closer to Murcia and Cartagena than to Alicante city itself, roughly 35 km to Murcia and 39 km to Cartagena straight-line, versus 41 km to Elche. This southern orientation matters for day-to-day life: hospital services, larger shopping and cultural amenities draw towards Torrevieja to the north and the Murcia conurbation to the south-west. Compared with the Mar Menor area just across the regional boundary, Orihuela Costa offers a denser commercial infrastructure and the La Zenia Boulevard as a year-round anchor, while the Mar Menor competes with its lagoon setting. Median income in the province of €15,750 provides background context for local purchasing power, though the international buyer segment in this coastal zone operates largely independently of provincial averages. In summary, the villa's market position rests on house type and location rather than new-build appeal, a distinction buyers should weigh consciously.
