This detached villa is situated in El Galan, a residential district within Orihuela Costa on the southern Costa Blanca. The property, completed in 1970, offers three bedrooms, two bathrooms and 82 m² of living space across two floors, with a private swimming pool on a fully enclosed plot. The surrounding area is urban with everyday amenities within walking distance, while three golf courses lie within three kilometres. Beaches such as Playa de Aguamarina and Playa de Campoamor are approximately six kilometres away. The listed price is €229,000, and the property is ready for immediate occupancy.
Within the comparable set, this villa occupies a distinct position. The Torrevieja apartments, Palangre Beach from €160,000 and Edificio Sun & Center from €169,000, offer lower entry prices and a more urban, beach-adjacent coastal setting, but as apartments they carry communal ownership structures, community fees and no private pool. Oasis Laguna 2 Phase II in El Raso, from €227,000, matches this villa almost exactly on price while offering new-build specification, modern energy standards and developer warranties; the trade-off is apartment living in a residential complex rather than detached status with a private pool on an individual plot. This property, at €229,000, is the only detached option in the set, and its 1970 construction date is the structural cost of that distinction. Regionally, El Galan sits in the Villamartín, Orihuela Costa corridor, one of the most established international residential zones on the southern Costa Blanca. Compared with frontline Orihuela Costa or Cabo Roig, the area prices lower because of its inland position at 148 metres elevation, roughly six kilometres from the sand. Compared with Torrevieja's urban core, it offers quieter residential streets, golf proximity and larger private plots, but weaker walkability, two bus lines and a supermarket just under two kilometres away. For buyers whose priority is a detached house with private pool under €250,000, the realistic regional alternatives are either older resale villas in El Galan, Los Dolses or Villamartín itself, or new-build apartments at a similar price. The villa competes on property type and land rather than on finish or age, and any comparison should account for a modernisation budget identified at survey.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
El Galan is an inland residential area of Orihuela Costa, positioned at roughly 148 metres above sea level. The district sits between Villamartín and the coastal beaches, with supermarkets under two kilometres away and a hospital eleven kilometres distant. Two public transport lines and two stops serve the area, though a car is practical for most journeys beyond daily essentials.
The villa provides three bedrooms and two full bathrooms across two floors, with a separate kitchen, a living room opening onto the pool terrace, and an additional upper-floor terrace. A washing machine is located within a bedroom wardrobe unit. The enclosed plot and private pool support independent outdoor use without shared facility arrangements.
This is not a new-build development. The villa was completed in 1970 and is delivered in ready condition. Buyers should expect a property of its construction era rather than contemporary building standards. No energy efficiency label was recorded in the available data. Documentation of any renovations would form part of the purchase process.
The property does not offer sea views, direct beach access, underfloor heating, air conditioning confirmation, a garage listing, or communal facilities. Electric vehicle charging requires a journey of approximately 4.5 kilometres. The 82 m² footprint is modest relative to many villas in this segment. No lift or accessible single-level layout is present, given the two-storey design.
This property fits a buyer prioritising a detached house with a private pool at a sub-€250,000 budget, where new construction is not a requirement. It works for permanent residence: the area retains year-round services, four pharmacies within two kilometres, and a hospital at eleven kilometres. It also functions as a second home for households wanting a pool and terraces usable across the long warm season, with golf courses within a short drive. The two-storey, three-bedroom layout suits small families, couples wanting guest capacity, or owners considering holiday rental use given the Costa Blanca's rental demand. It fits less well for buyers requiring single-level living, a modern energy label, or walkable beach access, the nearest beaches are roughly six kilometres away and require a car. Households dependent on public transport will find only two bus lines available. Buyers seeking a contemporary new-build finish should weigh the 1970 construction date and verify renovation history, electrical installations and insulation during due diligence. For those focused on the Villamartín, Orihuela Costa golf corridor who accept an inland position in exchange for a lower entry price and private outdoor space, the property addresses that combination directly.
The available documentation records the property as completed in 1970 and delivered ready. The interior, based on the photographic record, shows a living-dining room with fitted display cabinetry, bedrooms with wooden fitted wardrobes, one incorporating a washing machine, and separate kitchen arrangements typical of Spanish residential builds of this period. No data confirms recent renewal of the roof, plumbing, electrical wiring or window frames, and buyers should treat verification of these elements as central to the technical survey. For 1970s construction on the Costa Blanca, common considerations include single-glazed original windows, limited wall insulation by current standards, and electrical systems that predate modern earthing requirements unless subsequently upgraded. No energy efficiency certificate was recorded in the dataset; Spanish law requires one at sale, so it will be produced during the transaction and will state the actual rating. The private pool and terrace construction, pool filtration equipment and enclosure walls should be inspected for condition and permit compliance. Two full bathrooms across two floors indicate the property already departs from the single-bathroom standard of many homes of this age, suggesting at least partial modernisation at some stage. The upper-floor terrace adds usable outdoor area but requires checks on waterproofing. Overall, the finishing level reflects an older property maintained for occupancy rather than a refurbished or developer-delivered standard, and the purchase budget should allow for modernisation works identified at survey.
The villa is listed at €229,000 as a completed, immediately available property. Within the comparable set, Torrevieja apartments start from €160,000 to €169,000, while Oasis Laguna 2 Phase II in El Raso starts at €227,000, placing this villa at a similar entry point to a new-build apartment but with detached status, private pool and a private plot. Pricing for this property is a single figure rather than a range, reflecting its resale character rather than a phased development. Purchase costs, notary fees and taxes apply in addition to the listed price.
Daily life in El Galan follows a residential rhythm rather than a resort one. The villa sits within an established urbanisation where pharmacies, small shops and services operate within a two-kilometre radius, with four pharmacies recorded in that zone. The supermarket at 1.9 kilometres is reachable on foot in roughly twenty-five minutes, though most residents drive. The property itself is oriented around its private pool and terraces: the living room connects directly to the pool terrace, and the upper floor carries its own terrace overlooking the residential area. This layout suits a household that treats outdoor space as an extension of the interior, particularly given the region's 3,822 recorded annual sunshine hours and an average temperature of 18.9°C. The six-month swimming season, when sea temperature holds at or above 20°C, extends the practical use of the private pool from late spring into autumn. El Galan's population context of roughly 11,900 inhabitants in the wider area means the district does not empty outside the summer months, unlike some coastal zones. Two bus lines and stops provide basic public transport, but the location of hospitals, larger retail and the beaches makes a car the primary mode of transport for most households. Golf forms a structural part of the local routine: three clubs sit within three kilometres, with Real Club de Golf Campoamor the closest at 1.7 kilometres. The Villa accesses this golf corridor without living on it, keeping green fees and club membership a choice rather than an imposition.
El Galan sits inland from the Orihuela Costa beach strip, roughly six kilometres from the sand. The immediate environment is urban and residential: the location analysis records amenities within walking distance, with the nearest supermarket at 1.9 kilometres and pharmacies at 2.2 kilometres. The hospital lies eleven kilometres away, placing full medical services within a fifteen-to-twenty-minute drive. Mobility data indicates a car is convenient though not strictly necessary for everything, the two bus lines and stops cover basic circulation, but beach trips, hospital visits and airport transfers realistically require driving. The residential character is supported by the surrounding golf corridor: Villamartín Plaza and its commercial centre, with the large Zenia Boulevard shopping mall roughly ten minutes away by car, anchor the wider district's retail. Sports infrastructure includes Villamartin Golf at 2.3 kilometres, the Polideportivo Municipal at 3.9 kilometres and the Montesico Blanco stadium at the same distance. Marinas at Puerto Deportivo Miguel Caballero (5.9 km) and Real Club Náutico (9.6 km) serve boating needs. The area's population base of roughly 11,900 inhabitants and its international resident mix mean restaurants and services stay open year-round, a distinction from purely seasonal coastal zones.

Approximate area · exact address shared on request
El Galan positions the villa between the commercial hub of Villamartín and the Orihuela Costa beaches, inside the municipality of Orihuela. Torrevieja lies to the north, roughly fifteen minutes by car, providing the nearest large urban services. To the south, the border with the Region of Murcia brings Corvera airport within reach. Pilar de la Horadada and San Pedro del Pinatar extend the coast southwards. The villa's placement is distinctly inland-residential: it trades sea proximity for lower pricing, space and golf access relative to frontline properties.
Beaches: Playa de Aguamarina at 5.6 km, Playa Fósil at 5.8 km and Playa de Campoamor, La Glea at 5.8 km, all a ten-to-fifteen-minute drive. Golf: Real Club de Golf Campoamor at 1.7 km, Club de Golf Villamartín at 2.3 km and Las Ramblas de Orihuela at 2.9 km. Supermarket: 1.9 km. Pharmacy: 2.2 km. Hospital: 11 km. Airports: the location dataset flags the primary regional airports as Corvera (Murcia) at approximately 45 minutes by car and Alicante-Elche at approximately 55 minutes, per the property description; the environmental dataset also records Gibraltar (83 km) and Málaga (104 km) straight-line. Electric vehicle charging points operated by Iberdrola and Galp sit 4.5 to 4.6 kilometres away. Public transport consists of two lines with two stops in the area.

The villa stands at 148 metres above sea level, giving the site a gentle inland elevation without significant slope implications noted in the data. The climate record shows an average annual temperature of 18.9°C, with monthly averages ranging from 11°C in the coolest period to 26°C in summer, a pattern that supports year-round occupation and reduces heating demand relative to northern Europe. Historical sunshine totals reach 3,822 hours per year, among the higher figures recorded for Mediterranean Spain. The swimming season, defined by sea temperatures of 20°C or above, extends for approximately six months, meaning the private pool and terraces see practical use from roughly May through October. Rainfall concentrates in autumn months typical of the southern Costa Blanca, with dry summers. The surrounding landscape combines urbanised residential zones with the irrigated greenery of three nearby golf courses and, further inland, the pine-covered terrain around Las Ramblas de Orihuela.

The nearest Blue Flag-calibre beaches of Orihuela Costa, Playa de Aguamarina (5.6 km), Playa Fósil (5.8 km) and Playa de Campoamor, La Glea (5.8 km), sit within a short drive. Playa de Campoamor's La Glea stretch is one of the municipality's principal sandy beaches with chiringuitos and summer services, while Playa Fósil offers a quieter cove character. Recreational infrastructure concentrates around golf: three clubs within 2.9 kilometres make this one of the densest golf clusters on the Costa Blanca, with Real Club de Golf Campoamor the closest at 1.7 km. Water sports and mooring facilities operate from Puerto Deportivo Miguel Caballero (5.9 km) and Real Club Náutico (9.6 km). Land sports are covered by the Polideportivo Municipal (3.9 km) and the Montesico Blanco stadium. Cycling and walking routes run through the coastal pine areas and the ramblas inland of Villamartín.
