A key-ready three-bedroom apartment of 95 m² in the centre of La Mata, on the southern Costa Blanca. The property sits on the first floor of an established residential building completed in 1970, within walking distance of shops, bars, restaurants and the beach. Platja de l'Eixidor lies 1.4 km away as the crow flies, and the flat terrain between the apartment and the sea makes the route easy on foot. The asking price is fixed at €168,000, with the property offered mostly furnished, subject to offer. The home has one family bathroom, a separate cloakroom, an independent kitchen and a small sun terrace off the lounge.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The apartment stands in central La Mata, between Torrevieja and Guardamar del Segura. Everyday amenities are concentrated within a 2 km radius: roughly fifty restaurants, four pharmacies, two banks and three cafés. A local bus stop is within walking distance, and the area is served by thirteen public transport lines with fifty stops in total, reducing dependence on a car.
With three bedrooms, a family bathroom with both bathtub and separate shower, plus an additional cloakroom, the layout suits a household of four to five people or guests staying for longer periods. The larger-than-average independent kitchen offers workspace and storage, while the lounge-diner opens onto a small sun terrace for outdoor sitting. Living area totals 95 m².
This is not a new-build development. The apartment forms part of an established residential building completed in 1970 and is available key-ready, meaning it can be occupied directly after purchase. The property is offered mostly furnished, subject to offer. Delivery is immediate upon completion of the purchase process.
The building does not have lift access; the apartment is on the first floor, reached by stairs. There is one bathroom plus a separate WC rather than multiple en-suites. The terrace is small rather than a large solarium. No private pool, private garden or parking space is included in the data provided. Built in 1970, the property predates current new-build standards and may require updating.

This property fits a buyer prioritising interior space and a central coastal location over modern construction. A household needing three genuine bedrooms, for example, a family with children, or a couple who regularly host guests, gets 95 m² for a price at which new-build apartments in the region often offer two bedrooms and a terrace. The separate cloakroom and the bathroom with both bathtub and shower support busy mornings with several occupants. It also suits a buyer who wants to live without a car. The concentration of shops, restaurants, pharmacies and a bus stop within walking distance, combined with the flat terrain, makes daily errands feasible on foot year-round, a consideration that matters for older buyers or those spending winter months here. The buyer should be comfortable with an older building. Construction dates from 1970, there is no lift, and the interior finish shown in the photographs is functional rather than contemporary. Anyone planning substantial renovation should factor that into the total budget. Conversely, a buyer seeking a turnkey rental or holiday home with immediate usability may find the mostly-furnished, key-ready condition convenient, provided the stairs to the first floor present no obstacle. An investor comparing against new-build alternatives should weigh the larger surface here against the warranties and lower maintenance risk of newer stock.
The building dates from 1970, which places it more than five decades before current Spanish technical building codes. This has practical implications buyers should assess during a viewing: insulation standards, electrical installation, plumbing and window performance may not match those of post-2000 construction, and an independent technical survey is a sensible step for any property of this age. The interior photographs show tiled floors throughout the living room and all three bedrooms, fitted wardrobes in at least two bedrooms, and a lounge with space for both a dining table and seating. The kitchen is described as independent and larger than average, with generous workspace and storage, a functional layout rather than an open-plan designer kitchen. The family bathroom contains both a bathtub and a separate shower, an arrangement that adds flexibility for different users, and the additional cloakroom/WC reduces pressure on the main bathroom at busy times. No information is provided in the data about air conditioning, heating, energy performance of the installations, or recent renovation works, so these points should be verified with the seller. The property is offered mostly furnished, subject to offer, which lowers the immediate cost of making it habitable but means the furniture's condition should be inspected rather than assumed. Overall, the finishing level reads as well-maintained and usable, typical of established Spanish coastal stock, rather than newly renovated.
The property carries a fixed asking price of €168,000, this is an existing home, not a new-build project with a price list. For that amount, the buyer receives 95 m² of living space with three bedrooms, one bathroom and a separate WC, in a key-ready condition and offered mostly furnished, subject to offer. The price per square metre works out at approximately €1,770, which is comparable with nearby new-build offerings in Torrevieja that start from €160,000 to €169,000 but typically deliver smaller units with modern specifications. This apartment competes on space and location rather than on contemporary finishing.
Daily life in this apartment centres on the walkable scale of La Mata. The flat gradient of 0.4% towards the sea means the beach at Platja de l'Eixidor, 1.4 km away in a direct line, is reachable on foot without significant climbing, and the same applies to the promenade that runs alongside La Mata's more than two kilometres of sandy shore. Mornings can begin with a walk to one of the three cafés or the many restaurants within 2 km; the nearest supermarket and shops cited in the source description lie in the same radius, so groceries do not require a car. The interior supports a settled routine rather than short holiday stays. Three bedrooms and a generous lounge-diner give each household member their own space, and the independent kitchen, larger than average for this type of home, allows proper cooking rather than weekend preparation. The sun terrace off the living room functions as an outdoor extension of the sitting area, enough for a table and two chairs, a place for morning coffee or an evening drink rather than sunbathing at length. Out of season, La Mata retains its Spanish seaside character, with a permanent resident population keeping bakeries, pharmacies and banks open year-round. The four pharmacies and two banks within 2 km indicate a functioning everyday infrastructure. The bus stop nearby connects to the wider network of thirteen lines, useful for trips to Torrevieja's sports facilities or the shopping of the larger towns. Alicante-Elche Airport lies roughly 30 km away in a straight line, making arrivals and departures manageable without a long transfer.
La Mata sits between Torrevieja and Guardamar del Segura, and the apartment's position within the village puts nearly all daily needs within a 2 km radius. The amenity data records around fifty restaurants, four pharmacies, three cafés, two banks and two dentists at that distance, a density that reflects the village's role as a year-round residential place, not only a summer resort. Elevation is a mere 6 m above sea level with a gradient of 0.4% towards the coast, so the whole area is walkable without effort. For recreation beyond the beach, the immediate surroundings offer several viewpoints within short range: La Pinada at 1.3 km, Torre del Moro at 2.2 km and Mirador El Moncayo at 4.6 km, all in a straight line. Sports facilities include CF Torrevieja and the Palacio de Deportes Infanta Cristina, each about 3.3 km away. A public swimming pool lies 1.2 km from the door. Two marinas, Real Club Náutico at 5.6 km and Port Esportiu Marina de les Dunes at 9.9 km, serve sailing and boat-related leisure. Public transport coverage is solid for a village of this size: thirteen lines and fifty stops. Alicante airport is approximately 30 km away as the crow flies, about a 40-minute drive according to the source description. Larger towns, Elche at 27 km, Alicante at 39 km and Murcia at 42 km, all straight-line distances, provide regional shopping, hospitals and cultural amenities.
The map shows the apartment's position in the heart of La Mata, minutes on foot from shops and restaurants, with the beach 1.4 km away as the crow flies over flat terrain. Torrevieja lies to the south, Guardamar del Segura to the north, and the salt-lake landscapes typical of this stretch of the Costa Blanca surround the town inland.
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
La Mata occupies a middle position on the southern Costa Blanca, between the larger city of Torrevieja to the south and the quieter town of Guardamar del Segura to the north. Elche lies 27 km away in a straight line, Alicante 39 km and Murcia 42 km, placing the village within reach of three substantial urban economies while retaining a smaller-scale seaside character. Its international mix of residents and traditional Spanish atmosphere distinguishes it from the purpose-built resort urbanisations further inland. For property purposes, the location competes directly with Torrevieja and the urbanisations of Orihuela Costa, typically at lower price points than the northern Costa Blanca.
The nearest beach, Platja de l'Eixidor, lies 1.4 km away in a direct line, with Playa de Cabo Cervera at 1.7 km and Platja de les Ortigues at 2.3 km; actual walking distances by road are somewhat longer. The terrain is flat throughout, so these are comfortable walks. Access by air is straightforward: Alicante-Elche Airport (ALC) is roughly 30 km away as the crow flies, described in the source as a 40-minute drive. Valencia airport at 164 km and Málaga at 371 km are distant alternatives. Elche (27 km), Alicante (39 km) and Murcia (42 km), straight-line figures, frame the region's larger urban centres. Golfers should note that the nearest courses are not adjacent: Club de Golf Villamartín and Club de Golf La Finca are each 13.0 km away, with Real Club de Golf Campoamor at 14.8 km, all reachable in roughly a 15 to 20-minute drive. Electric-vehicle charging is available at the Iberdrola Oasis Center, 3.9 km away. A local bus stop within walking distance connects into the network of thirteen lines, so a car is convenient but not essential for daily life.

The climate data points to a typical southern Costa Blanca profile: average monthly temperatures ranging from 12°C in the coolest month to 26°C at the summer peak, with an annual average of 19.0°C. Winters are mild enough for year-round residence, while summer heat is moderated by the coastal position. The swimming season lasts five months, defined by sea temperatures of 20°C or above, roughly May through September. This lengthens the practical use of a beach-side home well beyond the peak summer weeks. Elevation is 6 m above sea level with a gradient of 0.4% towards the shore, meaning the landscape is essentially flat. There are no climbs between the apartment and the sea, which matters both for daily comfort and for accessibility as residents age. The nearby salt lakes of the Torrevieja area contribute to the region's dry, sunny microclimate, and viewpoints such as La Pinada and Torre del Moro offer green and coastal outlooks within a short walk or drive.

La Mata's principal asset is its beach: more than two kilometres of fine golden sand with a promenade lined by cafés, bars and restaurants, all reachable on foot from the apartment. Three beaches sit within 2.3 km in a straight line, Platja de l'Eixidor (1.4 km), Playa de Cabo Cervera (1.7 km) and Platja de les Ortigues (2.3 km), giving variety in atmosphere and degree of busyness across the summer months. Sport and leisure options extend beyond the sand. The Palacio de Deportes Infanta Cristina and CF Torrevieja facilities lie about 3.3 km away; a public swimming pool is 1.2 km from the property. Two marinas within 10 km, Real Club Náutico at 5.6 km and Port Esportiu Marina de les Dunes at 9.9 km, cover mooring, sailing and waterfront dining. Golf requires a short drive: Villamartín and La Finca courses are both 13.0 km away, with Campoamor at 14.8 km. For walkers, the viewpoints at La Pinada (1.3 km), Torre del Moro (2.2 km) and Mirador El Moncayo (4.6 km) provide elevated outlooks over the coast. The 32 local public holidays per year mean a regular rhythm of fiestas and events in the village calendar.

Flat
Set against its direct competition, this apartment takes a clear position: maximum space per euro in a central, walkable location, at the cost of modern construction. The nearest new-build alternatives tell the story. APARTMENTS PALANGRE BEACH in Torrevieja starts from €160,000, and EDIFICIO SUN & CENTER, also key-ready in Torrevieja, from €169,000. Both bracket the €168,000 asking price here, yet new-build apartments at these price points along the southern Costa Blanca typically deliver between 60 and 75 m² with two bedrooms. This property offers 95 m² and three bedrooms for the same outlay, a difference of a third more surface, in a village centre rather than a new development zone. Further from the coast, OASIS LAGUNA 2 Phase II in Urbanización El Raso starts from €227,000, roughly €59,000 more, and represents the inland urbanisation model: newer buildings, communal pools and green zones, but dependence on a car for the beach and daily shopping. La Mata reverses that trade-off: the beach is a flat 1.4 km walk away, and the fifty restaurants, four pharmacies and bus stop within 2 km remove the need to drive for essentials. Buyers weighing the two models should consider running costs as well. Older buildings generally carry lower community fees than new developments with pools, lifts and landscaped grounds, though this building's lack of a lift is also its main accessibility limitation. At the provincial level, the median income of €15,750 and the large resident populations of Elche (some 234,765 inhabitants), Alicante (339,322) and Murcia (462,979) within 27 to 42 km underline the depth of the regional rental and resale market around La Mata.
