Traditional Spanish villa with outdoor pool

The Neighborhood

The seaside town of Moraira has become a popular spot for visitors looking to explore the more tranquil side of the Costa Blanca coastline. Once a small fishing village, the historic charm of Moraira is evident from the stone walls of Castillo de Moraira perched on the hillside above L'Ampolla beach to the bustle of local eateries lining the streets with satisfied customers, the smells of Mediterranean cuisine and sounds of Spanish music filling up the squares. Located roughly halfway between Alicante and Valencia, Moraira offers the perfect chance to grasp a slice of the famous Costa Blanca lifestyle, be it in the midst of a long hot summer or short, mild winter; you can visit this picturesque spot all year round! The villa itself is located in a quiet neighbourhood, a swift 5-minute drive, or 30-minute walk from the beautiful town centre and the sandy beach of L'Ampolla. With easy parking, clean toilets and lifeguards on duty, the crystal-clear water and sandy shores of Playa de L’Ampolla make it one of the more popular beaches in the area. The sandy gently slopes into the sea, so you can hop in and out with ease, heading to the nearby café when you need some refreshments! With rocks and sea life below the water, this is a great chance to try out snorkelling as well, getting your whole group involved as you explore the sea depths. The town centre is close to the beach, boasting a pretty marina and easy-going atmosphere that is easy to fall in love with! Well equipped for visitors you will find everything you need, including supermarkets, banks, shops and a myriad of fantastic restaurants. For a special occasion, we would recommend booking Sand Restaurant, bringing a contemporary twist to the usual Mediterranean menus! Many of the other eateries are family-friendly, offering a range of cuisines to suit your whole group. Of course, wherever you are in Spain, lively nightlife, street festivals and festivities are never too far away. In the summer months even the streets of Moraira come alive, and with Benidorm just a 30-minute drive along the coast you can enjoy the vibrant nightlife all year round. Offering water parks, theme parks and a range of attractions to please every age group, it is definitely worth a day trip!
