This detached villa is situated in El Portet, a quiet residential area within the coastal town of Moraira on the North Costa Blanca. The property stands on a plot of 1,007 m² and offers approximately 265 m² of living space with five bedrooms and four bathrooms. Built in 1970 and available key-ready, the house includes a private pool, terraces, a covered naya and a summer kitchen. Platja de l'Ampolla beach lies roughly 0.6 km away as the crow flies. The asking price is fixed at €1,635,000.
Within Moraira itself, the most direct comparison is Zaragoza 32, a new-build project with prices from €1,980,000. This villa, at a fixed €1,635,000, sits below that entry level while offering something new-build apartments in the town generally cannot: a full 1,007 m² private plot with mature planting, a private pool, a summer kitchen and five bedrooms spread over 265 m². The trade-off is standard: a 1970-built property carries the technical profile of its era, whereas new build delivers current regulations, efficiency and warranties. Further south on the Costa Blanca, the comparable set shifts considerably. Oceanic Apartments in Rojales starts from €475,000 and Nueva Daya Villa in Daya Nueva from €380,000, price levels that reflect inland and southern locations rather than the North Costa Blanca coast. Those properties compete on budget and on proximity to the southern airports, but they do not offer Moraira's coastal setting, its flat walking access to a Blue Flag-adjacent bay, or the mature-villa stock of El Portet. Moraira's wider market position supports this distinction. It is a small town of the Marina Alta, 80 km north of Alicante and 100 km south of Valencia, with a housing stock dominated by villas and low-rise buildings. Median provincial income of €15,750 and the town's upmarket character mean demand is driven primarily by owner-occupiers and second-home buyers rather than volume tourism. For a buyer weighing this villa against alternatives, the realistic comparison set is other existing villas in El Portet and central Moraira, plus new-build product priced from around €2 million, a frame in which land size, bedroom count and proximity to the sea are the deciding variables.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The villa is located in El Portet, a residential area bordering one of the sheltered bays north of Moraira's centre. Platja de l'Ampolla is approximately 0.6 km away in a direct line, with Platja de les Platgetes at 0.7 km. The town's marina, Club Náutico Moraira, is under 1 km away. The terrain towards the sea is flat, with an average gradient of 2.2%.
The house offers five bedrooms and four bathrooms across 265 m², allowing separate zones for family members and guests. Sliding doors connect the living spaces to terraces, the pool area and the covered naya. The 1,007 m² plot provides gardens, a summer kitchen and several outdoor seating areas, supporting extended periods of outdoor living from spring through autumn.
This is an existing home, completed in 1970 and delivered key-ready. It is not a new-build development, so no construction phases or future delivery dates apply. Buyers should expect the materials, installations and layout to reflect the property's age, with any modernisation depending on their own plans. The stated completion date is indicative.
The property is a single existing villa, not part of a development with shared facilities or on-site services. Constructed in 1970, it predates current building standards; no data on energy performance or recent renovations is provided in the listing. A car is practical for regional travel, as the nearest train station is 4.9 km away in Teulada. No garage details are specified in the available data.
This property fits several recognisable situations. A family seeking a permanent residence on the North Costa Blanca will find five bedrooms, four bathrooms and a flat plot within walking distance of a swimmable bay, with schools-related and daily shopping infrastructure in Moraira and Teulada. Buyers planning a second home will value the low-maintenance proximity to the beach, roughly 0.6 km in a direct line, combined with the privacy of an elevated, planted plot. Households that regularly receive guests can use the separate bedroom zones so that visitors retain their own bathrooms. The property also suits buyers who deliberately choose an older villa over new-build: the 1970 construction sits on a generous plot with mature planting, a configuration that has become less common near Moraira's coastline as plots are subdivided. It is less suitable for buyers seeking a turnkey modern standard; the house is key-ready in the sense that it is habitable, but its installations and finishes date from its construction period and any upgrading would be a separate project and budget. A car remains part of daily life here. Alicante airport is roughly 75 km away in a direct line and Valencia about 103 km, so the location works for frequent flyers from either direction, while the nearest train station in Teulada is 4.9 km from the house. Buyers focused primarily on rental yield should note that El Portet's market is oriented towards owner-occupancy and longer stays rather than high-turnover holiday letting.
The villa was completed in 1970, and its construction and finishes should be assessed in that context. The listing describes an intuitive layout in which living spaces flow into one another, with large windows and sliding doors connecting the interior to the terraces, a typology typical of Mediterranean villas of that era, prioritising cross-ventilation and outdoor access over compact energy performance. The 265 m² of living space is distributed over five bedrooms and four bathrooms, which indicates that the property has been at least partly updated or extended relative to a standard 1970 layout, although no dates or scope of renovation are given in the available data. Exterior elements include a private swimming pool, sunny terraces, a covered naya, a summer kitchen, an outdoor shower and multiple seating areas, all set within a landscaped garden on a 1,007 m² plot. No information is available on the heating system, insulation, glazing type, electrical installation or kitchen appliances, and these points would need to be verified during a viewing or technical survey. Likewise, the listing does not state whether the pool is heated, how the hot water is produced, or what the annual running costs of the property are. Buyers planning long-term ownership typically commission an independent building inspection for properties of this age, covering structure, damp, roofing and installations. The overall picture from the listing and photography is of a well-maintained, habitable villa with a functional layout, whose technical standard reflects its period and whose refurbishment potential depends on the buyer's intentions.
The asking price for this villa is fixed at €1,635,000. This is an existing home completed in 1970 and offered key-ready, so the price applies to the property as it stands rather than to a range of unit types. For context within Moraira, the new-build project Zaragoza 32 lists its apartments from €1,980,000, which places this villa below the entry point of that development while offering substantially more land. Buyers should account for additional purchase costs in Spain, including transfer tax, notary and registry fees. Availability is immediate upon completion of the purchase process.
Daily life at this property follows a Mediterranean rhythm shaped by the layout of the house and the plot. The living spaces are arranged so that the sitting and dining areas open directly onto terraces through large sliding doors, which makes the garden and pool a routine extension of the interior rather than a separate zone. Mornings can be spent in the bright living room or on the terrace; from late morning onwards, the pool area, the sunny terraces and the several chill-out corners become the natural centre of the day. The covered naya and the summer kitchen extend that usability into the evening and into the shoulder seasons, when outdoor dining remains comfortable. El Portet is a quiet residential area on the northern edge of Moraira. The street profile is low-traffic, and the elevated position of the plot provides distance from neighbouring properties. At the same time, the town's everyday infrastructure is close: within 2 km there are around fifty restaurants, four cafés, three pharmacies and four banks, which covers most daily needs without driving further. The beach at Platja de l'Ampolla is about 0.6 km away in a direct line, and the walk into central Moraira passes through the bay area. Outside the summer months, Moraira retains its permanent population and services, so the area does not empty out between seasons. The villa's five bedrooms and four bathrooms allow the household to split across different wings, which suits families, visiting guests or periods when part of the house is unused. With 265 m² of living space on a 1,007 m² plot, the ratio of built to outdoor space favours garden use, outdoor cooking and swimming over density.
El Portet sits on the northern side of Moraira, a small upmarket coastal town within the Teulada municipality in the Marina Alta comarca. The villa's immediate surroundings are residential and green, with a gradient to the sea of just 2.2%, meaning the walk to the bay is flat rather than a steep coastal descent, a practical point for daily beach visits on foot. Within a 2 km radius, the area offers around fifty restaurants, four cafés, three pharmacies and four banks, so daily errands are handled locally. Platja de l'Ampolla lies approximately 0.6 km away in a direct line, with Platja de les Platgetes at 0.7 km and the small Cala del Portitxol at 1.1 km, giving a choice of three swimming options within short reach. Club Náutico Moraira, the town's marina, is 0.9 km away. For rail connections, Teulada station is 4.9 km from the property and Benissa 5.2 km, both on the Alicante, Valencia coastal line. Eleven public transport stops serve the wider area, which supports local movement, though a car remains the practical mode for regional trips. The town sits at roughly 17 m above sea level, so no significant altitude affects daily movement or climate. Moraira lies 80 km north of Alicante and 100 km south of Valencia by road, positioning it between two major metropolitan areas and their airports.

All distances shown are direct, as the crow flies.
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Moraira occupies a specific position on the North Costa Blanca: a small, upmarket town under Teulada municipality, 80 km north of Alicante and 100 km south of Valencia, and therefore outside both metropolitan spheres while remaining reachable from each. Within the regional hierarchy it sits between the larger centres of Alicante (66 km in a direct line, some 339,000 inhabitants), Elche (86 km) and Valencia (98 km). This in-between position shapes the town's character: services are local rather than metropolitan, and the housing stock consists mainly of villas and small apartment buildings rather than high-density resort construction. For buyers comparing coastal regions, the area functions as a quieter alternative to the more built-up southern Costa Blanca and Costa del Sol corridors.
Accessibility is defined by two airports and a coastal railway. Alicante-Elche airport is approximately 75 km away in a direct line and Valencia airport roughly 103 km; both are realistic arrival points, with driving distances longer than the straight-line figures. Málaga airport, at about 465 km, is not a practical option. The nearest beaches are close: Platja de l'Ampolla at 0.6 km and Platja de les Platgetes at 0.7 km as the crow flies, with the marina at 0.9 km. Golfers can reach Club de Golf Ifach at 2.2 km and Club de Golf Jávea at 6.2 km. Train stations at Teulada (4.9 km), Benissa (5.2 km) and Calp (9.5 km) connect the area to the regional rail network. Public transport is available through eleven stops, and the flat terrain towards the sea makes walking to the bay realistic, while a car remains the standard for shopping beyond the immediate radius and for airport transfers.

Moraira records an average annual temperature of 18.3 °C, with monthly averages ranging from 11 °C in the coldest months to 26 °C in summer. The sea reaches 20 °C or warmer for approximately five months per year, which defines a swimming season running roughly from late spring to early autumn. The town lies at about 17 m elevation with a flat 2.2% gradient from the villa's area to the beach, so heat, walking and cycling are not complicated by slopes. The Marina Alta's coastline combines sandy bays with rocky coves and cliff-top viewpoints; the Cova del Morro del Bou (2.6 km), Cova Toni el Senyalat (3.1 km) and the Mirador Moraig (3.7 km) offer walking destinations within a short drive. The combination of mild winters and a genuine shoulder season means the property's outdoor areas, terraces, naya, pool and summer kitchen, are usable well beyond the peak summer months, which is a central practical argument for this type of home in this location.

The immediate coastline offers three swimming locations within about 1.1 km of the property. Platja de l'Ampolla, the main sandy beach of Moraira, is roughly 0.6 km away in a direct line; Platja de les Platgetes follows at 0.7 km, and the smaller Cala del Portitxol at 1.1 km. Club Náutico Moraira (0.9 km) and the Les Basetes marina (5.2 km) provide mooring and water-sport options. Golf is well represented, with Club de Golf Ifach at 2.2 km, Club de Golf Jávea at 6.2 km and Llebeig at 13.6 km, giving three courses within a quarter-hour drive. For organised sport, the Polideportivo Municipal Teulada is 4.4 km away, and swimming pools are available at 0.5 km (community pool) and 2.7 km (Montecala Pool). Coastal walks towards the viewpoints at Cap d'Or and the Moraig caves add hiking options. In short, recreation here is organised around sea, golf and coastal paths rather than large-scale tourist infrastructure, consistent with Moraira's small-town character.
