This three-bedroom apartment is located in Playa del Cura, a coastal district of Torrevieja on the southern Costa Blanca. The property offers 68 m² of built space with a south-facing orientation, a private terrace and side sea views. The building has a lift and the home is in good condition, ready for immediate occupation. Playa del Cura beach lies within a few minutes' walk, and the surrounding area contains a wide range of shops, restaurants and services. The asking price is €159,990, a fixed amount for this existing home.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The apartment sits in Playa del Cura, on the seafront side of Torrevieja. The beach of the same name is effectively on the doorstep, with Platja del Cura roughly 300 metres and Cala del Palangre about 600 metres away as the crow flies. The district is built-up and lively, with the Real Club Náutico marina 1.2 km away by the same measure.
The layout comprises three bedrooms, one bathroom and an open-plan kitchen within 68 m², which suits small households or use as a holiday home by the sea. The south-facing position brings daylight into the living areas for much of the day, and the terrace extends the living space outdoors. The lift in the building eases access for all ages.
This is not a new-build project. The building dates from 1970 according to the project records, although the source description mentions 1995; the exact construction year should be verified during a viewing. The property is key-ready and in good condition, so no waiting time or off-plan uncertainty applies. Completion is immediate upon purchase.
The apartment has one bathroom only, which limits suitability for larger households sharing the space. At 68 m² with three bedrooms, the rooms are compact. There is no mention of private parking, a storage room, a communal pool or a garden in the available data. The property is an existing home from the 1970s rather than a modern development.

This property fits several recognisable situations. A buyer seeking a low-threshold second home on the Costa Blanca, within walking distance of the beach and with all services nearby, will find the profile matches: fixed price under €160,000, immediate availability and a building with a lift. It also suits households that want a holiday apartment that can be locked up for months at a time, since the urban setting means the home is not isolated when unoccupied. Retirees or part-year residents benefit from the walkability of Playa del Cura: pharmacies, cafés, banks and the beach are all within a compact radius, reducing dependence on a car. Families with one child may manage with three bedrooms and one bathroom, although the single bathroom is a genuine constraint for larger or guest-heavy households. Investors looking for a rental property should note the location's year-round service base and proximity to the sea, both relevant to occupancy. The property is less suitable for buyers wanting modern energy performance, private parking or communal facilities such as a pool, since none of these appear in the available data. It is equally less fitting for those seeking a quiet, rural setting; Playa del Cura is urban and lively, particularly in summer. In short, the home matches pragmatic buyers prioritising location and price over space and modern finishes.
The property is described as being in good condition, and the available photographs show empty rooms with white cabinetry and tiled floors, typical of Spanish coastal apartments of this generation. The images indicate a clean, neutral interior rather than a recently renovated show home: standard tiling, simple fitted wardrobes and uncluttered spaces. The open-plan American-style kitchen connects to the living area, a layout that opens up the 68 m² but also means kitchen sounds and smells reach the living space directly. Technically, the building dates from 1970 according to the project records, with the source description citing 1995; this discrepancy should be clarified before purchase. Buildings of this age commonly require an assessment of electrical wiring, plumbing and window frames, none of which is documented in the supplied data. The south-facing orientation supports passive warmth in cooler months, though single-glazed windows and limited insulation, frequent in older stock, may affect comfort in mid-summer and mid-winter. The presence of a lift is a practical plus in an older building, where lifts are not always installed. The private terrace adds usable outdoor space with side sea views. Buyers should treat the finishing level as functional and livable, and budget separately for any modernisation of kitchen, bathroom or installations they consider necessary. A technical survey would establish the actual state of the building fabric.
The asking price is €159,990, a fixed amount for this existing home rather than a starting price. The annual property tax (IBI) is stated at €165. Compared with nearby new-build offerings in Torrevieja, which start at around €160,000 to €169,000 for key-ready apartments, this property sits at the entry level of the local market, while offering a beachside position that newer projects further inland may not match. Because it is key-ready, there is no phased payment structure or construction risk; the price and availability relate to the home as it stands. Interested buyers should verify current availability directly, as resale properties of this type can change status quickly.
Daily life around this apartment revolves around the seafront. The beach is within a short walk, so morning swims, evening strolls along the promenade and afternoon time on the terrace become part of the ordinary routine rather than occasional outings. The south-facing orientation means the terrace receives sun for most of the day, which in practice shifts a good deal of living outdoors from spring through autumn. The neighbourhood itself is a mature, fully built-up part of Torrevieja. Within two kilometres there are 134 restaurants, 41 cafés, 22 pharmacies, 23 banks and 23 dentists, which indicates that almost every daily need can be met on foot. Two schools also fall within that radius, so the area is not exclusively seasonal or touristic. The climate supports this outdoor rhythm: the average monthly temperature ranges from 12°C in winter to 26°C in summer, with an annual average of 18.8°C. The swimming season, when sea water stays at or above 20°C, lasts about five months. Outside the summer months the area quiets down compared with August, yet enough residents and businesses remain for the district to function year-round. The apartment itself is compact: three bedrooms and one bathroom across 68 m², with an open-plan kitchen connected to the living area. This layout works for a couple, a small family or as a second residence that can also be rented out when not in use. The lift in the building removes the barrier of stairs, and the terrace with side sea views gives an outdoor room without leaving home.
Living in Playa del Cura means having the Mediterranean as an immediate neighbour. The beach of the same name begins essentially at the edge of the district, with two more swimming spots within 600 metres as the crow flies. The promenade connects the area towards Torrevieja centre and the Real Club Náutico marina at 1.2 km. The immediate environment is urban and service-dense: the two-kilometre radius contains over two hundred catering venues, more than twenty pharmacies and banks each, and dozens of cafés. That density has a practical consequence, almost no daily errand requires a car. At the same time, the area is busy. Playa del Cura is one of Torrevieja's most visited beach zones, so summer months bring crowds and traffic, while the winter period is considerably calmer. The climate data supports an outdoor-oriented lifestyle: 12–26°C average monthly temperatures and a five-month swimming season. For sport, the Palacio de Deportes Infanta Cristina lies 2.1 km away, and the CF Torrevieja facilities at 2.4 km. Two public swimming pools are within about a kilometre. For green space, the La Pinada viewpoint area is 4.8 km away, and the Torre del Moro viewpoint at 3.1 km offers walks along the coast.
The map shows the apartment's position directly beside Playa del Cura beach, with the promenade, marina and Torrevieja town centre within a short radius. The concentration of restaurants, pharmacies and shops within two kilometres illustrates how compact daily life is here. Distances shown are straight-line; road distances and travel times may be longer.

Playa del Cura lies on the southern edge of Torrevieja, the main town of the southern Costa Blanca, positioned between the cities of Alicante (44 km) and Murcia (40 km) in straight-line terms. The district is one of the town's classic beachfront quarters, more built-up and service-oriented than the villa zones of Orihuela Costa to the south. Within the regional hierarchy, Torrevieja functions as a mid-sized service town with a year-round population and infrastructure, distinct from both the resort enclaves and the agricultural interior. The location places three golf courses, two major cities and an international airport within practical reach while remaining on the seafront itself.
The nearest beaches are immediately adjacent: Playa del Cura at 0 km, Platja del Cura at 0.3 km and Cala del Palangre at 0.6 km, all straight-line distances. Alicante-Elche Airport (ALC) lies roughly 35 km away as the crow flies, which corresponds to a drive of about 42 km by road according to the source description; the regional cities of Elche (32 km) and Murcia (40 km) frame the area to the north and south-west, while Alicante city is 44 km away. Public transport is well developed for a town of this size: 13 lines serve the municipality with 50 stops, allowing travel within Torrevieja and towards neighbouring towns without a car. For drivers, the N-332 coastal road and the AP-7 motorway connect the area to the wider region, with fast-charging stations for electric vehicles at La Zenia (8.2 km) and Orihuela Costa (8.3 km). Golfers reach Club de Golf Villamartín at 9.0 km, Real Club de Golf Campoamor at 10.9 km and Las Ramblas de Orihuela at 11.3 km, all straight-line. Valencia Airport is 169 km away and Malaga 368 km, making Alicante the practical arrival point.

The apartment stands about 10 metres above sea level on flat coastal terrain, so no hillside access or stairs between home and beach complicate daily life. The climate is typically Mediterranean: average monthly temperatures run from 12°C in the coolest month to 26°C in the warmest, with an annual average of 18.8°C. Sea water stays at or above 20°C for roughly five months, defining a swimming season from late spring to early autumn. This pattern means the terrace and beach are usable for most of the year, with only the winter months requiring indoor living with occasional heating. Rainfall on this stretch of the Costa Blanca is low compared with northern Spain, which keeps outdoor routines predictable. The immediate natural setting is urban coastline rather than protected nature; the salt lagoons of Torrevieja lie a short drive inland and the La Pinada wooded area sits 4.8 km away as the crow flies, offering greener walks. The Torre del Moro viewpoint at 3.1 km provides a coastal walking destination with panoramic views over the bay.

The headline feature of this location is beach proximity: Playa del Cura begins at the edge of the district, with Platja del Cura 300 metres and the smaller Cala del Palangre 600 metres away as the crow flies. These are urban sandy beaches with promenades, typically equipped with showers, sunbed hire and lifeguard posts in season. The swimming season of about five months anchors the recreational calendar, complemented by year-round walking and running along the seafront. The Real Club Náutico marina at 1.2 km adds sailing and water-sport options. For land-based sport, the Palacio de Deportes Infanta Cristina is 2.1 km away and CF Torrevieja at 2.4 km, with a commercial gym at 3.9 km; two swimming pools, including one at the Hotel Fontana 900 metres away, cover indoor swimming. Golf is a regional strength rather than a doorstep feature: three courses, Villamartín, Campoamor and Las Ramblas de Orihuela, lie between 9.0 and 11.3 km away by direct distance, reachable in roughly 15 minutes by car. The density of restaurants and cafés within two kilometres means evening entertainment rarely requires travel.

Within its segment, this apartment competes directly with key-ready new-build projects in Torrevieja. APARTMENTS PALANGRE BEACH starts at €160,000 and EDIFICIO SUN & CENTER at €169,000, both effectively at or slightly above this property's fixed price of €159,990. The trade-off is clear: the comparables offer modern construction, current building standards and likely better insulation, while this resale apartment counters with a beachside position in a fully established neighbourhood. The third comparable, OASIS LAGUNA 2 FASE II in Urbanización El Raso, starts at €227,000 and represents a different proposition altogether: a newer development further inland, where the premium buys contemporary specifications but not immediate sea access. For buyers whose priority is proximity to the water, the resale option retains an advantage that price-per-square-metre comparisons alone do not capture. Broader regional context also matters. The southern Costa Blanca around Torrevieja is generally more affordable than the Costa del Sol further west, and the province's median income of €15,750 per year shapes local pricing: entry-level apartments here remain accessible to Northern European budgets in a way that Marbella-area equivalents do not. Position within the region is practical, Alicante city at 44 km, Elche at 32 km and Murcia at 40 km (all straight-line) give access to urban services, hospitals and employment, while Alicante-Elche Airport at roughly 35 km connects the area internationally. Buyers comparing options should weigh three variables in order of personal priority: distance to the beach, construction age and monthly running costs. This property leads on the first, concedes on the second, and benefits from a low IBI of €165 per year on the third.
