This two-bedroom, two-bathroom penthouse is located in Punta Prima on the southern Costa Blanca, approximately 600 metres from the beach. The property, built in 1970 and recently renovated, offers 70 m² of living space with a private terrace with sea views, air conditioning, a lift, and a storage room. The complex includes a communal swimming pool and communal parking. The surrounding urban area provides shops, restaurants and services within walking distance, with three golf courses within six kilometres. Alicante-Elche Airport lies roughly 40 km away in a straight line.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The property sits in the built-up coastal strip of Punta Prima, between Torrevieja and Orihuela Costa. The beach at Playa Punta Prima is around 500-800 metres away, reachable on foot along a flat route (2.5% gradient). A supermarket lies within 360 metres and a pharmacy within 350 metres, placing daily shopping within a short walk.
The dwelling is configured as a compact two-bedroom unit with two bathrooms, a combined living/dining area and a fitted kitchen. Functionally it suits couples, small families or use as a second residence. The private terrace, communal pool, air conditioning and lift cover the basic requirements of year-round or seasonal coastal living at this scale.
This is not a new-build development. The building dates from 1970 (completion date indicative) and the apartment has been recently renovated, with double glazing, fitted wardrobes and updated climate control listed. It is a completed, resale-ready property available for immediate occupation, not a project under construction with phased delivery.
The property offers 70 m² of living space and two bedrooms only; larger family requirements are not met. It is north-oriented, which affects direct sunlight on the dwelling. Parking is communal rather than a dedicated private space. There is no private pool, garden or private garage, and no plot. The hospital is 8 km away.

This property matches several recognisable buyer situations. A couple seeking a low-maintenance coastal second home will find the 70 m² footprint, two bathrooms and furnished, renovated condition practical, with the beach, supermarket and pharmacy all within walking distance. Buyers who prioritise walkability over resort-style facilities fit the profile: the location scores well on daily amenities within a 2 km radius, while the hospital (8 km) and golf courses (3.9-5.9 km) require short drives. Purchasers who want sea views without a front-line price point may find the penthouse position with a private covered terrace relevant, though the north orientation means direct sun exposure is limited compared with south-facing alternatives. Buyers intending to rent the property seasonally can note the five-month swimming season, 3,846 historical sunshine hours and proximity to three beaches, factors that align with summer rental demand on the southern Costa Blanca. It is less suitable for buyers needing three or more bedrooms, a private garden or pool, a dedicated private garage, or substantial interior space; none of these are offered. Buyers focused on modern energy-certified new construction should also note the 1970 building date, albeit with a recent renovation including double glazing and air conditioning. Finally, buyers who prefer not to drive daily will find the public transport coverage (13 lines, 50 stops) and walkable amenities a workable basis for car-light living, reserving the car for airport transfers and occasional trips.
The apartment has been recently renovated and is listed in excellent condition. Documented technical features include double glazing, fitted wardrobes in the bedrooms, a fully fitted kitchen and a storage room. Climate control covers both hot and cold air conditioning, which allows year-round temperature regulation relevant to a region where average temperatures range from 12°C in winter to 26°C in summer. The private terrace is covered, extending usable outdoor time into the hotter midday hours and shoulder seasons; the building is equipped with a lift, which matters given the penthouse position. Interior imagery shows a dining area with decorative finishes and bedrooms opening towards the balcony with sea views. It should be noted that the building envelope itself dates from 1970 (indicative), meaning that structural characteristics, insulation standards and common-area finishes originate from that era, with subsequent renovation of the individual unit. No energy performance certificate details are provided in the available data. Communal facilities consist of the swimming pool area and communal parking spaces; no private garage or private pool is included. Buyers assessing long-term maintenance should factor in the age of the building and the condition of communal elements alongside the renovated interior of the unit itself. The overall picture is a compact, updated coastal apartment with functional, contemporary fittings rather than premium-specification construction.
The asking price is €225,000, which translates to roughly €3,214 per m² based on the 70 m² living area. Within the immediate regional comparison set, resale/new apartments in Torrevieja start from approximately €160,000-€169,000, while newer developments in Urbanización El Raso start around €227,000. This property therefore sits in the middle of the local price band. The price reflects a completed, renovated, furnished unit with sea views and two bathrooms, rather than off-plan pricing. Availability is immediate, as the property is completed and ready for occupation; the 1970 construction date is indicative.
Daily life around this penthouse revolves around a walkable, urbanised coastal neighbourhood. The supermarket (358 m) and pharmacy (342 m) sit within a five-minute walk, and the immediate 2 km radius contains around 29 restaurants, 7 cafés, 3 banks and 3 dental practices, which reduces dependence on a car for routine errands. The beach at Playa Punta Prima, roughly 500-800 metres away on a flat route, functions as an extension of the living space for much of the year, with the historical swimming season (water temperature at or above 20°C) lasting about five months. Additional beaches at Cala La Mosca and Cala Piteras lie within 900 metres, giving three swimming options within walking distance. The dwelling itself is compact: 70 m² with two bedrooms and two bathrooms, a living/dining area, a fitted kitchen and a covered private terrace oriented towards the sea. As a penthouse it benefits from its elevated position and the lift in the building. The communal pool provides an alternative to the beach during the warmer months. Transport-wise, the area is served by 13 public transport lines with around 50 stops, and an hourly bus connects towards Torrevieja, which itself is roughly a thirty-minute walk along the coast. A car remains useful for hospital visits (8 km), golf (from 3.9 km) and airport transfers (Alicante approximately 40 km straight-line), but is not strictly necessary for daily needs. The area's character shifts with the seasons: the local climate averages 18.9°C annually with a historical 3,846 sunshine hours per year, supporting outdoor use of the terrace and pool across a large part of the calendar. The Saturday market at Playa Flamenca and the marinas at 4.5-5.8 km provide additional routine and leisure anchors.
The immediate environment is urban and service-dense. Within a 2 km radius the data lists 29 restaurants, 7 cafés, 3 pharmacies, 3 banks and 3 dentists, which places most daily services within walking or cycling distance. The nearest supermarket is 358 m away and the pharmacy 342 m, meaning grocery runs and prescriptions require no car. Healthcare beyond primary level sits further out: the hospital is 8 km away, a 10-15 minute drive. Sports facilities include the Snatch Fitness Center at 1.6 km, and the swimming pool facility at 2.8 km. Three golf courses lie within 6 km: Villamartín (3.9 km), Real Club de Golf Campoamor (5.8 km) and Las Ramblas de Orihuela (5.9 km). Electric vehicle owners have charging options at Ionity La Zenia (2.8 km) and Iberdrola (4.4 km), with the nearest charging point 1.6 km away. Public transport covers the area with 13 lines and 50 stops, including an hourly bus towards Torrevieja, which is also reachable on foot in roughly thirty minutes along the coastal path. The terrain is essentially flat at 31 m elevation, with a 2.5% slope to the beach, so walking and cycling are realistic daily modes. The area is busier during the summer tourist season and quieter outside it, as is typical for Costa Blanca resort towns.
The map shows the property's position in the walkable core of Punta Prima: the beach is a short stroll to the east, with the supermarket and pharmacy immediately around it, Torrevieja to the north along the coast, and the three golf courses of Villamartín, Campoamor and Las Ramblas a short drive inland, a classic Costa Blanca seaside setting under Mediterranean sunshine.

Punta Prima lies at approximately 31 m above sea level on a coastal shelf with a slope to the beach of about 2.5%, meaning the walk to the sea is effectively flat and requires no stairs or steep paths. The climate data shows an annual average temperature of 18.9°C with monthly averages ranging from 12°C to 26°C. Historical sunshine totals reach 3,846 hours per year, a high figure even by Spanish coastal standards, supporting year-round terrace use. The swimming season, defined by sea temperatures at or above 20°C, lasts approximately five months, typically May to October. Winters are mild enough for unheated outdoor living on many days, while the hot and cold air conditioning in the apartment covers the temperature extremes on either side. The immediate coastline combines sandy beaches with small rocky coves (Cala La Mosca, Cala Piteras) within 900 metres, giving variety in swimming and walking conditions. The urbanised character means open natural reserves are not adjacent; green and sporting space is mainly found at the golf courses 4-6 km inland.

The local beaches, including Playa Punta Prima, hold Blue Flag status, which indicates water quality and environmental management standards. Three bathing locations lie within a 900-metre radius: the main sandy beach at Punta Prima and the smaller coves of Cala La Mosca and Cala Piteras. Recreational infrastructure includes water sports, fishing and sailing options referenced in the area, with two marinas within 5.8 km (Real Club Náutico and Puerto Deportivo Miguel Caballero). Golfers have three 18-hole courses within six kilometres: Club de Golf Villamartín, Real Club de Golf Campoamor and Club de Golf Las Ramblas de Orihuela, all reachable within a 10-minute drive. The apartment complex itself offers a communal swimming pool, and a fitness centre operates 1.6 km away. The coastal walking path towards Torrevieja takes roughly thirty minutes on foot, and the Saturday market at Playa Flamenca supplies fresh produce on a weekly cycle. EV charging points at 1.6-4.7 km support electric mobility for regional trips.

Within its direct comparison set, this penthouse occupies a middle position on price. Apartments Palangre Beach in Torrevieja start at €160,000 and Edificio Sun & Center (key ready) at €169,000, both roughly €55,000-€65,000 below this property's €225,000 asking price. At the upper end, Oasis Laguna 2 Phase II in Urbanización El Raso starts at €227,000, within €2,000 of this unit. What differentiates this property from the cheaper Torrevieja options is its configuration and finish level: two bathrooms, a recent renovation, sea views from a private covered terrace, double glazing, a storage room and a lift, combined with a beachside setting roughly 600 metres from the sand. The Torrevieja comparables are positioned in a larger, denser city environment, whereas Punta Prima is a smaller, more residential resort strip between Torrevieja and Orihuela Costa. Against Oasis Laguna 2 in El Raso, an inland urbanisation several kilometres from the coast, this property offers substantially closer beach access (under 900 m versus several kilometres) but a smaller footprint (70 m²) and an older building envelope (1970 versus new construction). Buyers weighing these options are effectively trading building age and energy specifications against location immediacy: El Raso offers new-build standards and golf-side positioning at a similar price, while this penthouse prioritises walkable beach proximity and established urban services. At approximately €3,214 per m², the price aligns with renovated resale stock in southern Costa Blanca beachside locations. The provincial median income of €15,750 indicates that international buyers, rather than the local wage base, form the primary demand segment for properties at this price level. Rental potential is supported by the five-month swimming season and strong summer tourism on the Orihuela Costa, though the north orientation and 1970 construction date are factors a purchaser may wish to weigh in any investment calculation. For Mediterranean lifestyle buyers, the deciding factors are likely to be the walkable beach access, the ready-to-occupy condition and the sea-facing terrace.
