This project features a detached villa with a living area of 130 m² situated on a 368 m² plot in El Saladar, Alicante. The property comprises three bedrooms and one bathroom, featuring a private exterior space including a swimming pool and a solarium. The location is inland and rural, providing a quiet environment. The villa is positioned approximately 47 kilometers (as the crow flies) from the nearest beaches, indicating a significant distance to the coast. A personal vehicle is required for daily amenities due to the inland setting.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The villa is situated in a rural environment in El Saladar, on the outskirts of the town of Almoradí. This area is characterized by an agricultural setting and relative distance from busy coastal tourist areas. The surroundings offer views of open fields. The main connections and amenities are found in the nearby town of Almoradí, which is accessible by car within a few minutes.
The layout of the villa focuses on practical usage with three bedrooms and 130 m² of living space. A private exterior area of 368 m² provides facilities for outdoor living, including a private swimming pool and a covered terrace. The presence of a solarium and a large garage (85 m²) contributes to storage options and living space. This type of property seeks a balance between residential comfort and the desire for privacy in a non-urban setting.
This is an existing property. The construction comprises a traditional build with masonry. The villa features climate control in the form of air conditioning and a fireplace for heating. Solar panels are present for hot water supply. The state of maintenance and the original construction date are factors to be considered upon purchase given its status as existing construction.
The distance to the coast and beaches is substantial (approximately 47 kilometers), making daily visits to the sea impractical without long travel times. The location is inland, meaning there is no sea view. Public transport is limited, making a car essential for any movement. The villa has only one bathroom, which can be a limitation for larger families or guests.

This property fits buyers who consciously choose a quiet, rural living environment and wish to avoid the bustle of tourist coastal towns. It is suitable for those willing to travel for beach visits, but who prioritize more square meters of living space and a large garden for a lower price. Also for families who appreciate the proximity of local amenities and schools in Almoradí, this can be an option. The large garage and practical layout make it possible to live here permanently or to have a large base for longer holidays.
The finish of the property includes practical elements such as a fireplace in the main room for warmth and atmosphere. The kitchen is located in a dining area and offers access to the terrace. The bathroom is equipped with a walk-in shower. Technically, the property is equipped with air conditioning (ducted) and solar panels. The outdoor space is finished with artificial grass around the pool, which can limit maintenance. The garage is a prominent space of 85 m², indicating possibilities for plenty of storage or workspace.
The asking price for this villa starts from €299,950. Compared to projects in direct coastal areas such as Benissa or Altea, where prices for detached villas are significantly higher (often above €4 million), this property positions itself in a segment with a lower entry price. The price reflects the rural location and the distance to the coast. Variation in price within this type of real estate in El Saladar is mainly determined by the state of maintenance and the size of the plot.
El Saladar presents itself as a residential neighborhood woven into the rural fabric of the Vega Baja. The daily rhythm here is determined by the tranquility of the countryside, interspersed with the proximity of the service town Almoradí. For residents, this means returning to a quiet environment after grocery shopping or work in the city. The immediate living environment feels like a residential area where one is more dependent on the car, but where parking space and privacy outside the door are guaranteed. The presence of local catering in the immediate vicinity ensures basic facilities within walking distance.
Life in El Saladar is focused on the local community and the immediate surroundings. The nearest supermarket is 3.0 kilometers away, meaning daily shopping requires a car. For extensive amenities, shops, and medical care, one relies on surrounding towns like Almoradí or Orihuela. The presence of 12 public transport stops in the area reduces dependence on the car somewhat, but for efficiency, own transport remains necessary. The infrastructure in the region is well developed, making cities like Alicante and Elche easily accessible.
The map shows the location of the villa in El Saladar, southwest of Alicante. The distance to the coastline is clearly visible, as well as the proximity to Almoradí. The display underlines the rural setting and distances to major infrastructure such as the airport.
El Saladar is located inland in the province of Alicante, in the Vega Baja del Segura. It is an area that acts as a residential commuter area for larger cities. The positioning is rural, with the Costa Blanca coastline at a considerable distance. Compared to expensive coastal towns, this location offers a quieter alternative with lower real estate prices, but with a longer travel time to the Mediterranean Sea.
The location requires a car for almost all travel. The beach (Platja de Sant Gabriel) is located at a distance of 47 kilometers (as the crow flies), amounting to a drive of about 30-40 minutes. Golf courses such as Club de Golf Alenda are at a distance of 35 kilometers. Alicante-Elche airport is accessible at approximately 36 kilometers. In the immediate vicinity (at 3.0 km) basic amenities such as a supermarket can be found, while a hospital is 16 kilometers away.

For beach recreation, one depends on a trip to the coast, with the nearest beaches at approximately 47 kilometers distance. This means that recreational swimming in the sea is not a daily activity. In the immediate living environment, the focus is on the private pool, jacuzzi, and solarium. For golfers, there are facilities at 35 kilometers distance. The private garden and terraces form the primary space for relaxation.

Compared to the real estate offerings in exclusive coastal towns like Benissa and Altea, where prices for detached villas start above €4 million, this property in El Saladar offers an alternative at a much lower entry price (€299,950). The main difference is the location: while Benissa and Altea are located directly by the sea and offer views of the bays, El Saladar is situated inland. This means trading sea view and walking distance to the beach for more living space and privacy at a lower rate. Additionally, the Alicante region (Costa Blanca) is generally more affordable than the Costa del Sol. The comparison shows that for this budget on the Costa del Sol, typically an apartment or smaller house is purchased, whereas here a detached villa with a plot can be acquired.
