The Ultimate Buyer's Guide to Buying Property on the Costa Blanca
More than 200 kilometres of Spain's Mediterranean coast, from Dénia in the north to Pilar de la Horadada in the south — town by town, for every type of buyer.
Orihuela Costa
Le marché immobilier d’Orihuela Costa, ses plages primées et son art de vivre méditerranéen à travers l’expertise de professionnels locaux et une sélection rigoureuse de biens.
Orihuela Costa est l’une des destinations résidentielles les plus prisées de la Costa Blanca sud, réputée pour ses plages Pavillon bleu, ses parcours de golf de championnat et sa communauté internationale dynamique. S’étendant de Punta Prima à Campoamor, le littoral propose un marché immobilier diversifié, allant des appartements modernes et maisons de ville aux villas de luxe surplombant la Méditerranée. Ses excellentes commodités, son art de vivre toute l’année et son fort potentiel d’investissement continuent d’attirer les résidents permanents, les acquéreurs de résidences secondaires et les investisseurs internationaux de toute l’Europe.
Orihuela retained 10 Blue Flags for beaches in 2026 plus one for the Club Náutico Dehesa de Campoamor marina, making it the leading municipality in Alicante province for these awards that year: Calas de Aguamarina, Barranco Rubio, Cabo Roig-La Caleta, Cala Capitán, Cala Cerrada, Cala Estaca, Campoamor-La Glea, La Zenia-Cala Bosque, Mil Palmeras and Punta Prima. Cabo Roig's own coastline is built around two named coves either side of the cape: La Caleta (387m long, sheltered by the cape's rock walls) to the south, and Cala Capitán (152m) to the north, linked by a roughly 2km cliff-top walkway that takes about 25 minutes on foot; Aguamarina cove sits further along, between Cabo Roig and Campoamor. Punta Prima, bordering Torrevieja to the north, also holds Blue Flag status but is covered in this project's Torrevieja pack rather than duplicated here.
Inland from Dehesa de Campoamor, the Sierra Escalona y Dehesa de Campoamor Protected Landscape covers 10,683.76 hectares across the municipalities of Orihuela, San Miguel de Salinas and Pilar de la Horadada, declared for its ecological and scenic value and also recognised as a Special Bird Protection Area (ZEPA, 10,458.76ha) and Site of Community Importance (LIC, 4,782ha).
The Cabo Roig strip is Orihuela Costa's dining and nightlife spine — a dense run of restaurants along the N-332 offering an international mix (Chinese, Indian, Italian, Irish and Mediterranean/Spanish) alongside Irish and Australian-style pubs, plus Sala Passion in nearby Villamartín Plaza for later-night entertainment. No Michelin-recognised restaurant was found listed for Orihuela Costa, Cabo Roig, Campoamor or Playa Flamenca as of this check — buyers wanting starred dining currently need to look further afield on the Costa Blanca (see the North region packs for Jávea and La Nucía). The everyday scene here trades genuine breadth and volume for that Michelin tier.
Golf is Orihuela Costa's headline leisure asset. Villamartín Golf (opened 1972, 18 holes) is the area's oldest and most established course; Las Ramblas Golf (opened 1990, designed by Pepe Gancedo) is built across steep, ravine-cut terrain and is generally regarded as the most technically demanding of the group; Real Club de Golf Campoamor (opened 1998, 18 holes, 6,277m) sits sheltered between two valleys and plays year-round. Las Colinas Golf & Country Club is the newest and most exclusive of the four: a 330-hectare, low-density gated resort with 24-hour security, its villas and apartments arranged in small private gated sub-communities around a Cabell B. Robinson-designed championship course. Real-estate and course-ranking sources describe Las Colinas as having won "Spain's Best Golf Course" at the World Golf Awards multiple times and "Leading Villa Resort" honours at the World Travel Awards — but the exact years cited are genuinely inconsistent across sources (2015/2016/2017 per one contemporary report; 2015/2016/2017/2018/2019 per another; 2015/2016/2020/2021 per a third). Zenia Boulevard, the open-air shopping and leisure centre in La Zenia, is widely described across local tourism and real-estate sources as "the largest shopping centre in the province of Alicante," with a footprint cited at 160,000–161,000m² and around 150 shops and restaurants. On the water, Club Náutico Dehesa de Campoamor (founded early 1970s, around 350 berths) held its Blue Flag marina award in 2026, and the smaller Club Náutico Cabo Roig offers full harbour services from its dock beneath the cape's watchtower.
Life here centres on the golf courses' fairways, the Cabo Roig cliff-top promenade out to the Faro de Cabo Roig lighthouse, and the marinas at Campoamor and Cabo Roig. Using the nearest AEMET station with published normals (Alicante, 1981–2010 period) as a regional proxy — the same caveat applies here as for other Costa Blanca packs, since this is not an Orihuela Costa-specific reading — the average annual temperature is 18.3°C, ranging from an 11.7°C January average to 26.0°C in August, with roughly 2,851 hours of sunshine a year. That climate, combined with the area's low-density gated golf communities, is the basis of outdoor living here: pool terraces, golf-course frontage and coastal walking rather than an old-town or harbour-town lifestyle.
Orihuela Costa demeure l’un des marchés résidentiels les plus actifs de la Costa Blanca, soutenu par une forte demande nationale et internationale. En 2026, les prix moyens affichés s’élèvent à environ €3,150/m², témoignant d’une croissance continue tant dans le secteur de la revente que dans celui des constructions neuves. La demande reste particulièrement soutenue pour les programmes modernes proches du littoral et des stations de golf, où l’offre limitée contribue à soutenir l’appréciation des prix à long terme.
La municipalité comprend un large éventail de quartiers résidentiels bien établis. Les quartiers côtiers tels que Cabo Roig, Campoamor, La Zenia et Punta Prima affichent certaines des valeurs immobilières les plus élevées, portées par leurs plages, leurs ports de plaisance et leur proximité des restaurants et des équipements de loisirs. Les communautés de l’intérieur, notamment Villamartín, Las Ramblas et Las Colinas Golf & Country Club, continuent d’attirer les acquéreurs à la recherche de maisons contemporaines au sein de prestigieuses résidences de golf.
Les appartements et les maisons de ville représentent une part importante du parc immobilier, notamment au sein de résidences sécurisées modernes proposant piscines, jardins paysagers et équipements de loisirs. Les villas individuelles restent très recherchées, en particulier dans les quartiers côtiers établis, où les grandes parcelles et les vues sur la mer justifient des prix haut de gamme. Les propriétés de luxe de Las Colinas Golf & Country Club et de Campoamor atteignent régulièrement certaines des valeurs les plus élevées de la municipalité.
La demande internationale continue de définir le marché, les acquéreurs du Royaume-Uni, de Belgique, des Pays-Bas, d’Allemagne, de Suède, de Norvège et d’Irlande représentant une part importante des transactions. D’excellentes liaisons de transport, notamment un accès aisé aux aéroports d’Alicante et de Murcia, combinées à des commodités disponibles toute l’année et à plus de 300 jours d’ensoleillement par an, continuent de soutenir la popularité d’Orihuela Costa auprès des acquéreurs séduits par son art de vivre comme des investisseurs immobiliers.

No, and this is a common point of confusion. Orihuela Costa is the coastal urbanisation belt — Villamartín, Cabo Roig, La Zenia, Playa Flamenca and Dehesa de Campoamor among its areas — that forms part of the much larger municipality of Orihuela. Orihuela city, the historic inland centre with its Baroque old quarter, sits roughly 20km away in a straight line (around 30km/28-32 minutes by road). Buyers researching "Orihuela" online should check carefully which of the two they're looking at.
It refers to the cluster of golf courses inland of Cabo Roig and Campoamor: the long-established Villamartín (1972) and Las Ramblas (1990) courses, Real Club de Golf Campoamor (1998), and the newer, more exclusive Las Colinas Golf & Country Club — a low-density, gated resort currently ranked 17th in Spain by Top100GolfCourses.com. Sources vary on which three of the four make up the "triangle" label itself, but together they're the area's premium, golf-anchored property segment.
It varies sharply by source and by segment. Town-wide average asking prices range from roughly €2,900/m² to €3,600/m² depending on the index used (Idealista, an aggregator snapshot, and Fotocasa disagree), which is meaningfully below Costa Blanca North's Jávea/Moraira band of €3,300–4,600/m². Gated golf-resort villas, particularly at Las Colinas, run well above the area average — from the mid-€100,000s up to €1–2 million for larger plots — so the "expensive" answer depends heavily on which segment a buyer means.
That's the claim made consistently across local tourism and real-estate sources, with a footprint cited at 160,000m²+ and around 150 shops. It hasn't been independently verified against a retail-industry ranking for this draft, and sources disagree on whether that figure represents total site area or leasable retail space — so treat it as the well-established local claim rather than an audited industry fact.
Depends on priority. Cabo Roig suits buyers wanting a walkable dining/nightlife strip and clifftop coves; La Zenia suits those wanting Zenia Boulevard and beach access on the doorstep; Campoamor and Villamartín suit golf-focused buyers wanting course frontage and, in Villamartín's case, one of the area's more established, amenity-rich urbanisations.
Yes — the two are adjacent, meeting around Punta Prima, roughly 5-8km from Torrevieja depending on the exact point measured. Punta Prima itself, while technically part of Orihuela Costa, is covered in this project's Torrevieja region pack rather than here, given its border position.
