This is a fully renovated two-bedroom apartment in the Cala Dorada I urbanisation in Punta Prima, on the southern Costa Blanca in the province of Alicante. The property dates from 1970 and has been comprehensively refurbished, including new air conditioning, kitchen, windows, doors, bathroom and flooring. It offers approximately 60 m² of living space on the second floor, with a balcony and a separate storage room. The location is urban and walkable: a supermarket lies within roughly 360 metres and Playa Punta Prima beach about 500, 800 metres away. The asking price is €179,000 and the property is completed and ready to occupy.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The apartment sits in the built-up coastal strip of Punta Prima, between Torrevieja and Orihuela Costa. Daily amenities, supermarket, pharmacy, restaurants and cafés, are within a few hundred metres, and the beach is a short walk on largely flat terrain (slope approximately 2.5%). The AP-7 motorway and three golf courses lie within a 4, 6 km radius.
The property functions as compact permanent or secondary housing for one to three occupants. Two bedrooms, one bathroom, a living room opening onto a balcony and a separate storage room cover basic household needs. Air conditioning is installed. There is no lift, garden or private parking documented, and communal facilities are limited to those of the urbanisation.
This is not a new-build development. The building originates from 1970 (delivery date indicative) and the individual apartment has been fully renovated internally. The construction status is completed: the unit can be occupied immediately. Buyers should factor the age of the building structure itself into their assessment.
The property does not offer: a private garden, private parking, a swimming pool (not documented), a lift, sea views (not documented), or more than one bathroom. At 60 m² the living area is modest for a two-bedroom layout. Building-level energy performance data is not available, and communal renovation obligations common to 1970s buildings cannot be excluded.

This property suits several recognisable situations. First, a buyer seeking a ready-to-occupy coastal home without renovation work: the refurbishment covers the kitchen, bathroom, windows, doors, flooring and air conditioning, so the main remaining variable is the age of the building envelope. Second, a part-year resident or second-home owner who values walking access to shops and the beach and does not want to depend on a car in winter. Third, a small household, a couple, a single occupant or a parent with one child, for whom 60 m² and one bathroom are sufficient; larger families will find the layout restrictive. Fourth, a rental investor: the Punta Prima location and furnished condition allow immediate letting, though returns depend on seasonal demand and community rules on holiday rentals. The property is less suitable for buyers who want a pool, private parking, a lift, sea views or generous space, and for those who prioritise modern energy performance documentation, none of these are documented here. Buyers sensitive to summer crowds should also note that the immediate area is tourist-oriented in high season. Finally, buyers intending to spend winters here without a car will find the neighbourhood largely workable on foot, though the hospital at 8 km and airports require transport.
The apartment has undergone a complete internal renovation, documented in the listing and visible in the photography: a new kitchen with a white dining table, a living room with sofa and television, new windows and doors throughout, renewed flooring with a wood finish, a fully refurbished bathroom, and newly installed air conditioning. The hallway photography shows a modern, neutral interior consistent with a recent refurbishment. The property is offered fully furnished, which reduces initial outlay for occupancy or letting. Several qualifications apply. The building dates from 1970, so while the interior is renewed, structural elements, the facade, roof, plumbing risers and electrical supply to the building, reflect the original construction unless the community has undertaken works. No energy performance certificate details are available in the data, so insulation quality and heating efficiency are undocumented. The unit is on the second floor of a building without a lift, accessed via an external staircase. No private parking space or storage outside the utility room is documented. Buyers assessing long-term quality should therefore commission a technical inspection focusing on the building's communal elements and request the community's maintenance records and any planned works (IBI, community fees and derramas), as these directly affect total ownership costs.
The asking price is €179,000 (listed "from" price; an earlier listing referenced €169,000, indicating recent price movement). At 60 m² this equates to roughly €2,980 per square metre, which is above the per-m² level of comparable new-build apartments further inland but reflects the walkable beachside position. Comparable stock nearby includes apartments in Torrevieja from €160,000, €169,000 and units in El Raso from €227,000. The property is completed and furnished, so transaction costs and furnishing outlay are lower than for off-plan purchases. Availability: immediate.
Punta Prima is a dense, established coastal neighbourhood within the Torrevieja, Orihuela Costa corridor. Daily life here is organised around short distances: the supermarket is under 400 metres away, a pharmacy about 340 metres, and roughly thirty restaurants, seven cafés and three banks lie within a two-kilometre radius. The beach at Playa Punta Prima is a five to ten minute walk on flat terrain, so a car is not necessary for everyday errands, dining or swimming. The apartment itself is a second-floor unit without a lift, entered via an external staircase typical of 1970s Spanish urbanisations. Inside, the renovation has produced a neutral, functional interior: wood-look flooring, a new kitchen with dining space, a living room with balcony access, two bedrooms and a refurbished bathroom. The balcony faces the surroundings of the urbanisation rather than the sea. A separate storage/utility room adds practical space that apartments of this size often lack. Outside the summer months, Punta Prima quiets down considerably; a portion of the housing stock is holiday-occupied, which means some businesses operate seasonally, although the core amenities (supermarket, pharmacy, medical services) remain open year-round. Public transport is present, 13 lines and around 50 stops in the area, connecting the neighbourhood to Torrevieja, Orihuela Costa and inland towns. For residents who drive, the AP-7 and N-332 provide access along the coast. The rhythm of the area is therefore best described as walkable and low-key in winter, busier and more tourist-oriented in July and August.
Daily life around Cala Dorada I is shaped by density and proximity. Within a two-kilometre radius the data records 29 restaurants, 7 cafés, 3 pharmacies, 3 banks and 3 dentists, giving residents a wide choice of everyday services on foot or by bicycle. The supermarket at roughly 360 metres covers routine shopping. Sports facilities include a fitness centre at 1.6 km; swimming pools are available commercially nearby. Healthcare is the main distance factor: the hospital is 8 km away, so medical visits beyond pharmacy-level care require a car or taxi. Marinas at 4.5, 5.8 km and three golf courses at 3.8, 5.9 km sit within easy driving distance. Electric-vehicle charging is available from 1.6 km, with a cluster of fast chargers (Ionity, Iberdrola, Eranovum) between 2.8 and 4.7 km along the La Zenia corridor. The neighbourhood sits at about 31 metres above sea level with a gentle 2.5% slope toward the beach, making walking and cycling realistic for most able-bodied residents. Public transport, 13 lines, some 50 stops, connects to Torrevieja and Orihuela Costa.
The map shows the apartment's position in Punta Prima, with the beachfront 500, 800 metres to the east and the supermarket and pharmacy within the surrounding blocks. Golf courses cluster 4, 6 km to the south-west, and Torrevieja lies to the north. Alicante airport is approximately 40 km north-east.

Punta Prima occupies the northern end of Orihuela Costa, directly south of Torrevieja, on the southern Costa Blanca in Alicante province. It is one of the most southerly coastal neighbourhoods of the Valencia region before the border with the Murcia region at Mil Palmeras. The position places it between two service hubs: Torrevieja (hospital, large retail, administrative services) about 5 km north, and La Zenia Boulevard, the region's principal shopping centre, about 4 km south. This gives the location a dual orientation, municipal services to the north, commercial and golf infrastructure to the south, both within a ten-minute drive.
Beaches: Playa Punta Prima at roughly 0.5, 0.8 km (a flat walk of 7, 10 minutes), with Cala La Mosca and Cala Piteras just under 1 km. Towns: Torrevieja city centre is approximately 5 km north; Orihuela Costa and the La Zenia Boulevard shopping centre lie about 4, 5 km south. Airport: Alicante-Elche (ALC) is roughly 40 km in a straight line, approximately 45, 55 minutes by car via the AP-7 or N-332. Valencia airport is about 173 km and Málaga approximately 363 km. Golf: three 18-hole courses, Villamartín (3.9 km), Real Campoamor (5.8 km) and Las Ramblas (5.9 km), are all within a ten-minute drive. Hospital: 8.0 km.

The area records approximately 3,846 sunshine hours per year and a mean annual temperature of 18.9°C, with monthly averages ranging from roughly 12°C in winter to 26°C in summer. The sea reaches 20°C or warmer for about five months of the year, giving a swim season from late May to early October. Rainfall is low and concentrated in autumn. The terrain sits at 31 metres above sea level with a slope of about 2.5% toward the coast, meaning no significant climbs between the apartment and the beach. The semi-arid setting supports salt lagoons nearby (the Torrevieja and La Mata lagoons, a short drive north), which form a protected natural park. The climate supports year-round outdoor use of the balcony and the surrounding coastline.

Three beaches lie within one kilometre: Playa Punta Prima, a broad sandy beach with a watchtower landmark and beachfront promenade; Playa Cala La Mosca, a quieter cove at the southern edge of the neighbourhood; and Cala Piteras, a small rocky bay. Blue Flag status applies to several beaches in the wider Orihuela Costa and Torrevieja municipality; verification for individual beaches varies by year. Water sports operate from the marinas at Real Club Náutico (4.5 km) and Puerto Deportivo Miguel Caballero (5.8 km). Golf is the area's second recreational pillar: Villamartín, Real Campoamor and Las Ramblas are three established 18-hole courses within a 6 km radius. A fitness centre is 1.6 km away, and commercial swimming pools are available within 3 km. Coastal walking routes connect Punta Prima southward toward Cala Capitán and Cabo Roig along clifftop paths.

Within its immediate market, this apartment competes on position rather than space or specification. Comparable listings include APARTMENTS PALANGRE BEACH in Torrevieja from €160,000 and EDIFICIO SUN & CENTER (key ready) in Torrevieja from €169,000, both offering similar budgets, generally in denser, more central urban settings. Further inland, OASIS LAGUNA 2 Phase II in Urbanización El Raso starts at €227,000, typically delivering more square metres, modern energy standards and communal pools, but without the walkable beach proximity of Punta Prima. At approximately €2,980 per m², this property is priced above the per-m² average of inland Orihuela Costa new-build stock, which is the standard trade-off in this corridor: beachside resale stock in 1970s urbanisations is cheaper in absolute terms but smaller and older; new-build stock 3, 6 km inland offers better specifications for a higher total price. Buyers comparing options should weigh three variables: the condition of the building's communal elements (relevant to all 1970s stock), the absence of a lift and pool here versus their presence in newer complexes, and the value of genuine walkability, a supermarket at 360 m and a beach under 800 m, which much of the region's new-build supply cannot match. The wider market context matters too: the province's median income of €15,750 per year indicates that international buyers operate in a price segment well above local primary demand, which sustains the rental and resale market for coastal properties of this type but also concentrates ownership costs analysis on community fees and seasonal letting income.
