A 1,000 m² fully urbanised residential plot is offered for sale at a fixed asking price of €850,000 in the Pla del Mar area of Moraira, Alicante province. The south-facing plot enjoys sea views and all-day sun, with direct street access and water and electricity connections already available. Platja de l'Ampolla beach lies approximately 0.6 km away as the crow flies, and the centre of Moraira is within walking distance. The plot is sold as land for a self-built home; the 1970 date in the records refers to the original urbanisation, not to a completed dwelling.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The plot sits in Pla del Mar, a residential area within walking distance of Moraira town centre. Platja de l'Ampolla beach lies about 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. Around fifty restaurants, three pharmacies and four banks are located within 2 km, which makes daily errands feasible on foot.
The plot measures 1,000 m², faces south and offers sea views with all-day sun exposure. Water and electricity connections are available at the plot, and street access is in place. No dwelling is included: the buyer acquires land on which a villa can be designed to personal requirements, subject to the local building regulations that apply in Moraira.
This is not an off-plan development but an existing building plot in a mature urbanisation. The land is fully urbanised, which means the infrastructure, roads and utility connections, is already installed. Any construction would be a private project: the buyer commissions an architect, obtains a building licence from Teulada town hall and manages the build. Timelines and costs of a future house are therefore not fixed by a developer.
The offer is land only: there are no bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchen or finished living area, and no completion date of a house exists. No garden, pool or parking is included, as these would be part of a future build. The listed 1970 completion date refers to the urbanisation of the area, not to a habitable property. Buyers should budget separately for design, licences and construction, which typically exceed the land price.
This plot suits a specific buyer profile: someone who wants to commission a bespoke villa in Moraira rather than purchase an existing house or an off-plan apartment. It fits buyers who already know the area, or who have visited Moraira and value its combination of a walkable town centre, beaches within 600 to 700 metres and an upmarket but not overtly touristic atmosphere. The land is relevant for permanent residents who want to design around a south orientation and all-day sun, and for second-home buyers seeking a coastal base with sea views from their own drawing board. It is less suitable for buyers seeking immediate rental income, no property exists to let, or for those wanting a fixed completion date and a fixed total budget, since design and construction costs are only determined once plans are made. Investors comparing yields may find completed apartments elsewhere cheaper to enter, though serviced building land close to a town centre is a finite category on this coast. Practical prerequisites are worth noting: the buyer will work with a Spanish architect and the local licensing process, typically in Spanish, so engagement of local professionals is customary. For anyone with the patience for a self-build and the desire for a house tailored to their own layout on flat, urbanised ground two streets from the beach, this offer is a starting point for that route.
As a plot sale, the usual discussion of materials and finishing does not apply, there is no kitchen, bathroom, flooring or glazing to assess. What can be evaluated is the condition of the land and its infrastructure. The plot is fully urbanised, meaning the public roads, pavement and street lighting of Pla del Mar are in place, and utility connections for water and electricity run to the plot boundary. Direct street access exists, which simplifies both construction logistics and everyday access once a house stands there. The south-facing orientation provides sun exposure throughout the day, a factor that influences the energy performance of a future home and the usability of terraces and a pool. The terrain is flat, with an approximate 2.2% gradient towards the sea, reducing earthworks during construction and allowing level living on one floor if desired. The technical framework for any future build is set by local regulations: height limits, build percentage and setback rules in Moraira determine the maximum volume. Buyers commissioning a villa here can choose their own construction standard, from conventional build to higher insulation specifications, since no developer package constrains the specification. In practice, the 'quality' of this purchase lies in the land fundamentals: legal urban status, connected utilities, orientation, sea views and a flat, buildable surface of 1,000 m².
The plot is offered at a fixed asking price of €850,000. This covers the land only; no property is included in the price, and construction of a future villa represents a separate budget. The plot measures 1,000 m², which corresponds to €850 per square metre of land in a fully urbanised, sea-view location within walking distance of Moraira centre. Availability is immediate, as the land exists in a completed urbanisation, there is no waiting list, construction phase or developer delivery schedule. Buyers should verify the current building regulations and permitted build volume with Teulada town hall, as these determine what can be realised on the plot.
Moraira is a small coastal town within the Teulada municipality, in the Marina Alta comarca of Alicante province, roughly 80 km north of Alicante city and 100 km south of Valencia. The town has retained a low-rise, upmarket character, with a working marina at Club Náutico Moraira (about 0.9 km from the plot) and a town centre that can be reached on foot from Pla del Mar. Daily life here runs at the pace of a village rather than a resort: morning shopping in the centre, lunch at one of the many restaurants within 2 km, and evening walks along the seafront. The plot's position on flat terrain, the gradient to the beach is around 2.2%, means that walking to Platja de l'Ampolla, about 600 metres as the crow flies, is realistic without a steep climb. The immediate surroundings combine residential calm with proximity to services: three pharmacies, four banks, four cafés and eleven public transport stops are recorded within the local area. Outside the summer months the town quiets down considerably, which appeals to year-round residents but means some seasonal businesses close in winter. A car remains useful for regional trips, the train station at Teulada is 4.9 km away in a straight line, though the immediate neighbourhood functions without one. For a buyer planning a custom villa, the location offers the essential starting points: south orientation, sea views, urbanised land and walkable access to both beach and town.
Life around the plot is shaped by Moraira's scale and its position between sea and town. Platja de l'Ampolla, the main sandy beach, is roughly 0.6 km away in a straight line, with the smaller Platja de les Platgetes just beyond it. The town centre with its restaurants, around fifty within a 2 km radius, pharmacies and banks is walkable, so daily groceries and errands do not require a car. The Club Náutico marina, under a kilometre away, adds a nautical dimension: sailing, moorings and a seafront promenade for evening walks. For sport, Polideportivo Municipal Teulada lies 4.4 km away, and two community pools sit within 2.7 km. The area records eleven public transport stops, and Teulada train station at 4.9 km in a straight line connects the region towards Alicante and Valencia. Larger shopping and services require a drive: Alicante lies 66 km away as the crow flies and Valencia 98 km. The immediate neighbourhood of Pla del Mar is residential and relatively quiet, particularly outside July and August, when the population of the coast swells. For a future resident, the practical rhythm is a coastal-village one: short distances, walkable amenities and larger excursions by car or train.
The map shows the plot's position in Pla del Mar, minutes on foot from Moraira's centre and main beach. Visible in the surroundings are the marina, the golf courses of Ifach and Jávea, and the road connections towards Teulada, Benissa and the AP-7 motorway towards Alicante and Valencia.

Moraira occupies a distinct position on the Costa Blanca: an upmarket, low-density town within the municipality of Teulada, roughly 80 km by road north of Alicante and 100 km south of Valencia. It sits between the larger resorts of Calp to the south and Jávea to the north, both reachable within a quarter of an hour by car. Unlike the high-rise segments of the southern Costa Blanca around Torrevieja, Moraira has retained strict building-height limits, which explains the prevalence of villas and plots over apartment blocks. For buyers, this means the region offers both quiet coastal living and practical access to two major cities and their airports.
The plot's accessibility is one of its practical strengths. Platja de l'Ampolla beach is 0.6 km away in a straight line on flat terrain; the centre of Moraira with its shops, restaurants and services is a short walk. Golf is well represented: Club de Golf Ifach lies 2.2 km away, Club de Golf Jávea 6.2 km and Llebeig 13.6 km, all measured as the crow flies. Two marinas, Club Náutico Moraira at 0.9 km and Les Basetes at 5.2 km, serve sailing and water sports. Air travel works through two airports: Alicante-Elche at roughly 75 km straight-line distance and Valencia at approximately 103 km, giving a choice of routes; Málaga, at about 465 km, is not a practical option. Rail connections run via Teulada station, 4.9 km in a straight line, with Benissa at 5.2 km and Calp at 9.5 km as alternatives. Locally, eleven public transport stops are recorded. A car remains convenient for regional travel, but the immediate daily radius, beach, town, restaurants, pharmacy, functions on foot.

Moraira lies at approximately 17 metres above sea level on flat coastal ground, with a gradient towards the beach of around 2.2%. The climate is typical of the northern Costa Blanca: average monthly temperatures range from about 11°C in the coldest month to 26°C in the warmest, with an annual average of 18.3°C. Winters are mild enough for year-round living, while summer heat is moderated by the sea. The swimming season spans around five months, during which sea temperatures reach 20°C or higher, roughly May to October. Rainfall is concentrated in autumn and early spring, leaving long dry stretches in between. The natural surroundings include several notable coastal features: the viewpoints at Cova del Morro del Bou (2.6 km), Cova Toni el Senyalat (3.1 km) and Mirador Moraig (3.7 km), the latter overlooking the famous cove of the same name. The combination of low elevation, flat terrain and a sea-facing position means a future home on this plot benefits from sea breezes and unobstructed light for most of the day.

The beaches closest to the plot are within easy walking distance: Platja de l'Ampolla at 0.6 km and Platja de les Platgetes at 0.7 km, both sandy and family-oriented, with the rocky Cala del Portitxol at 1.1 km for snorkelling. Moraira's coastline is known for clear water and small coves rather than long high-rise strips. Recreation extends beyond the sand: Club de Golf Ifach, 2.2 km away in a straight line, is a compact 9-hole course, while Club de Golf Jávea (6.2 km) and Llebeig (13.6 km) broaden the options. The two marinas provide sailing and mooring facilities, and the Polideportivo Municipal Teulada sports centre, 4.4 km away, covers indoor sports. Two swimming pools, a community pool at 0.5 km and Montecala Pool at 2.7 km, lie nearby. Hiking and coastal walks are available around the viewpoints towards Cova del Morro del Bou and Cap d'Or, whose watchtower dominates the headland. Together these options support an active outdoor life for most of the year.

Within the wider region covered by this portfolio, this plot occupies a different category from the new-build apartment developments. Comparable projects such as Palangre Beach in Torrevieja (from €160,000), Edificio Sun & Center (from €169,000) and Oasis Laguna 2 in Urbanización El Raso (from €227,000) offer completed, key-ready apartments at a fraction of the entry price. The distinction is fundamental: those purchases deliver a finished home with a fixed specification, whereas €850,000 here buys 1,000 m² of serviced building land, at €850 per square metre, in one of the most regulated and low-density towns on the Costa Blanca. Moraira's planning regime restricts high-rise construction, which limits the supply of both apartments and plots and supports the land's underlying scarcity value. Locationally, Moraira sits on the northern Costa Blanca, some 80 km north of Alicante city and 100 km south of Valencia, between the towns of Calp and Jávea. The southern Costa Blanca around Torrevieja offers cheaper entry, more density and a larger stock of tourist rental apartments; the Marina Alta around Moraira offers villas, plots and quieter surroundings with a more established international residential community. A buyer choosing this plot over a Torrevieja apartment is effectively choosing a self-build villa route, a custom layout and a sea-view position within walking distance of a town centre, in exchange for a substantially higher total budget once construction costs, which typically exceed the land price, are added. The comparison therefore depends less on price per square metre and more on the buyer's objective: a ready home with predictable costs, or a bespoke villa on scarce land with an open-ended construction budget and timeline.
