This two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment is located in the Las Fuentes residential complex in Moraira, a small coastal town in the Marina Alta region of Alicante province. The property offers 82 m² of living space with two terraces, one facing east for morning sun and a second open terrace with afternoon sun. Built in 1970 and presented in good, well-maintained condition, the home includes ducted air conditioning, double glazing, a private parking space in the communal garage and a lockable storage room. The communal pool with a separate children's pool lies approximately 20 metres from the apartment. Platja de l'Ampolla beach is about 0.6 km away as the crow flies.
At €310,000 for an existing 82 m² apartment, this property sits above the price level of the comparable new-build projects listed further south on the Costa Blanca. Apartments Palangre Beach in Torrevieja starts from €160,000, Edificio Sun & Center (key ready) from €169,000, and Oasis Laguna 2 Phase II in Urbanización El Raso from €227,000. Those projects are new or recent constructions in the southern Costa Blanca, typically with modern specification but in more densely built, touristic surroundings. The price difference reflects location and character rather than size alone. Moraira is a small upmarket town in the Marina Alta, known for low-rise development, a working marina and a permanent residential population, which contrasts with the high-rise profile of Torrevieja and the Orihuela Costa. Buyers comparing the two areas are effectively weighing newer construction at a lower price in the south against an older, established property in a quieter, more exclusive coastal town in the north. Within its own micro-market, the apartment's strengths are its position within a 44-unit community with mature gardens and active management, dual terraces with morning and afternoon sun, and a flat 0.6 km straight-line walk to Platja de l'Ampolla. The 1970 construction date means the building stock predates the comparable new-build projects by decades, and the internal condition reflects selective modernisation, ducted air conditioning, double glazing, a modernised en-suite, rather than full renovation. Accessibility is comparable across the region: Alicante-Elche Airport lies roughly 75 km away as the crow flies, Valencia around 103 km, giving Moraira two airport options similar in travel effort to Torrevieja's single-airport access. The regional choice therefore comes down to budget, preference for new versus established construction, and the desired pace of the surrounding town.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
Moraira forms part of the Teulada municipality, roughly 80 km north of Alicante and 100 km south of Valencia. The Las Fuentes complex sits within the town, close to shops and restaurants, with Platja de l'Ampolla about 0.6 km away in a straight line. The terrain towards the beach is flat, with an average gradient of 2.2 percent, which makes walking to the sea realistic for daily use.
The apartment suits buyers seeking a manageable coastal home with 82 m² of internal space, two bedrooms, two bathrooms and two terraces oriented to different times of day. Facilities such as a communal pool, private garage parking and a storage room cover the practical needs of a second residence or a longer-term base. Fibre-optic internet supports remote work, and the second bedroom can serve as a study or home office.
This is not a new-build project. The apartment dates from 1970 and is key-ready, meaning it can be occupied directly after purchase. The building is part of a 44-apartment community with mature gardens, an active management structure and a large communal swimming pool including a children's pool. Completion dates and delivery schedules do not apply; the property is available in its current condition.
The property has no private pool, no private garden and no sea-facing living room described in the source data. Access to the apartment involves three steps from the communal terrace, which is relevant for buyers with mobility constraints. With 82 m² and two bedrooms, the home is compact rather than spacious, and the 1970 construction means the layout and technical installations reflect that era, although modernised with ducted air conditioning and PVC double glazing.
This apartment fits several recognisable situations. A couple seeking a second home near the sea will find the 82 m² layout, two bathrooms and dual terraces sufficient for extended stays, with the covered east terrace providing morning light for breakfast and the open terrace offering afternoon sun for later in the day. Buyers planning longer stays or a partial relocation benefit from the fibre-optic internet connection and the second bedroom that functions as a study or home office. The flat walk to Platja de l'Ampolla, roughly 0.6 km in a straight line, and the concentration of restaurants, pharmacies and banks within 2 km reduce dependence on a car for daily life. Those who value community facilities without private maintenance obligations may find the communal pool, mature gardens and active management structure at Las Fuentes a practical arrangement, particularly given the pool's proximity of about 20 metres to the apartment. Owners who travel with children or grandchildren have a separate children's pool within the same complex. The property is less suited to buyers requiring a large villa plot, a private pool or ground-floor access without steps, since the entrance involves three steps and the outdoor space consists of terraces rather than a garden. It is a compact, well-maintained apartment in an established community, appropriate for holiday use, extended seasonal stays or as a long-term base in Moraira.
The apartment was completed in 1970 and has since been upgraded with a range of modern installations. It is equipped with ducted hot and cold air conditioning, allowing year-round climate control through a concealed system rather than wall units. Windows are fitted with PVC double glazing, complemented by mosquito screens and shutters, a combination that addresses both insulation and the practical realities of coastal living, including insects during the warmer months. Fibre-optic internet is installed, which supports streaming, video calls and remote work without additional connection works. The kitchen features granite worktops with cabinetry, visible in the property photographs, and the principal bathroom includes a large walk-in shower with twin washbasins, indicating a modernised wet area rather than an original 1970s fit-out. The internal layout comprises an open-plan living and dining area with adjoining kitchen, a principal bedroom with fitted wardrobes, a second bedroom and a guest bathroom. The property is presented in good, well-maintained condition according to the vendor description. Beyond the apartment itself, the practical assets include a private parking space in the communal garage with automatic door access and a separate lockable storage room, useful for bicycles, beach equipment and seasonal items. The Las Fuentes community maintains mature gardens, well-kept communal areas and a large swimming pool with a separate children's pool, all approximately 20 metres from the apartment. The overall impression is of an older building that has been steadily maintained and selectively modernised rather than fully renovated, and buyers should assess the condition of underlying systems such as plumbing and electrics during a technical inspection.
The asking price is fixed at €310,000. This is an existing home, not a new-build development with a price list, so the price applies to this specific apartment rather than serving as an entry point to a range of units. The property is key-ready and can be transferred in its current condition, with ducted hot and cold air conditioning, PVC double glazing, mosquito screens, shutters and fibre-optic internet already installed. A private parking space in the communal garage and a separate lockable storage room are included in the purchase. Community fees and annual taxes apply as with any apartment in a managed complex; these should be confirmed with the vendor during the purchase process.
Daily life in this apartment is organised around its two outdoor spaces. The covered terrace at the entrance catches the morning sun and functions as an outdoor breakfast and dining area, while the second, open terrace takes the afternoon sun, allowing residents to follow or avoid the heat depending on the time of day. Inside, the open-plan living and dining area with adjoining kitchen forms the main interior space, with the principal bedroom including fitted wardrobes and an en-suite bathroom with a walk-in shower and twin washbasins. The Las Fuentes community comprises 44 apartments and is described as peaceful, with Mediterranean landscaping and an active management structure. The communal pool, including a separate children's pool, lies around 20 metres from the front door, surrounded by sun terraces, palm trees and gardens, a distance short enough that swimming becomes part of the daily routine rather than an outing. Moraira itself provides the infrastructure of a small but complete coastal town. Within 2 km there are some 50 restaurants, three pharmacies, four banks and four cafés, meaning groceries, dining and daily services are reachable on foot or by a short drive. The rhythm of the town is quiet and residential, with a marina at Club Náutico Moraira about 0.9 km away as the crow flies. The flat terrain towards the beach and the concentration of amenities make the location workable without a car for most daily needs, although a car adds convenience for exploring the wider Marina Alta region.
Moraira is a small upmarket coastal town within the Teulada municipality, positioned between Alicante roughly 80 km to the south by road and Valencia about 100 km to the north. The town retains a residential character, with a marina at Club Náutico Moraira about 0.9 km from the apartment as the crow flies and a second marina, Les Basetes, at 5.2 km. The immediate surroundings are well served. Within 2 km, the area counts around 50 restaurants, three pharmacies, four banks and four cafés, covering most daily needs. The nearest beach, Platja de l'Ampolla, lies 0.6 km away in a straight line, with Platja de les Platgetes at 0.7 km and Cala del Portitxol at 1.1 km, giving a choice of sandy beach and smaller coves within walking or short driving distance. Public transport is available with 11 stops in the area, and railway stations are located at Teulada (4.9 km straight-line) and Benissa (5.2 km), connecting the coast to the regional rail network. For sports, Club de Golf Ifach lies 2.2 km away and Polideportivo Municipal Teulada at 4.4 km. The gradient from the apartment towards the beach averages 2.2 percent, effectively flat, which matters for daily walks, shopping trips on foot and cycling.

Moraira occupies a middle position on the Costa Blanca North coast, part of the Marina Alta comarca within Alicante province. It lies roughly 80 km by road north of Alicante city and 100 km south of Valencia, placing it between the two regional capitals and their airports. The town belongs to the Teulada municipality and has a reputation as a small, upmarket coastal settlement rather than a high-rise resort, which distinguishes it from more densely developed towns further south such as Benidorm or Torrevieja. Neighbouring towns include Benissa, Teulada and Jávea, each within a short drive, with Calp and its landmark rock, the Peñón de Ifach, around 9.5 km from the local railway station.
The nearest beach, Platja de l'Ampolla, is approximately 0.6 km away as the crow flies, with Platja de les Platgetes at 0.7 km and the cove of Cala del Portitxol at 1.1 km. Golf is close at hand: Club de Golf Ifach lies 2.2 km in a straight line, with Club de Golf Jávea at 6.2 km. Alicante-Elche Airport (ALC) is roughly 75 km away as the crow flies, and Valencia Airport (VLC) approximately 103 km, giving two realistic flight options.

There are 11 public transport stops in the local area, sufficient for local journeys, though a car remains the most flexible option for exploring the region. Larger cities, Alicante with around 339,000 inhabitants and Valencia with around 803,000, lie 66 km and 98 km away in a straight line respectively, reachable for day trips or airport runs.

Moraira sits at approximately 17 metres above sea level, giving a genuinely coastal climate without the climb or exposure of a hillside location. The average annual temperature is 18.3°C, with monthly averages ranging from 11°C in the coldest months to 26°C in summer, mild winters and warm but not extreme summers by Spanish coastal standards. The swimming season extends to about five months per year, defined by sea temperatures of 20°C or above, which in practice runs from late spring into early autumn. The flat 2.2 percent gradient to the sea means the coast is reachable on foot without effort, a practical point for daily beach use. The natural surroundings include several viewpoints within a short distance: Cova del Morro del Bou at 2.6 km straight-line, Cova Toni el Senyalat at 3.1 km and Mirador Moraig at 3.7 km, offering coastal walking routes along the cliffs and coves of the Marina Alta. The combination of low elevation, moderate rainfall and a long warm season makes outdoor use of the apartment's two terraces feasible for most of the year.
