Villas for Sale in Orihuela Costa

Sixteen kilometres of coastline, eleven bays of golden sand, and some of the most decorated beaches in Spain — it is easy to see why Orihuela Costa has become one of Europe’s favourite places to own a home. At SolMar Properties, we specialise in villas for sale in Orihuela Costa, from brand new builds in Villamartín and Lomas de Cabo Roig to established resale villas a short stroll from La Zenia beach, helping buyers from Britain, Ireland, the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Scandinavia, France, Spain and beyond find the right home in the right spot.

Villas are what this stretch of the Costa Blanca South does best — detached and semi-detached homes with private pools, sun-drenched terraces and gardens made for outdoor living. But whatever you are searching for, from a beachside apartment to a townhouse near the golf, you will find it here, and we will guide you to it honestly.

Orihuela Costa is the coastal strip of the Orihuela municipality, sitting at the southern end of the Costa Blanca in Alicante Province, between Torrevieja and the border with Murcia. Its string of seaside communities — Punta Prima, Playa Flamenca, La Zenia, Cabo Roig, Campoamor and, just inland, Villamartín — together form one of the most international neighbourhoods in Spain, with around 70% of residents coming from outside the country.

That international mix is a real advantage for new arrivals: English is widely spoken, communities are welcoming, and the infrastructure — international shops, restaurants, healthcare and schools — is built around year-round living, not just the summer season.

Orihuela Costa lies on Spain’s southeastern Mediterranean coast, in the province of Alicante, roughly 50 minutes south of Alicante-Elche International Airport and around 35 minutes from Murcia International Airport. It borders Torrevieja to the north and the Costa Cálida to the south, making it one of the most accessible corners of the Costa Blanca South for buyers flying in from across Europe.

The new build market here is one of the most active on the whole Costa Blanca South. New build villas in Orihuela Costa typically offer three or more bedrooms, private pools, roof solariums and modern, energy-efficient specifications — and they range from key-ready homes you can move into almost immediately, to nearly finished properties, to off-plan projects where you can choose finishes and spread payments through the build.

We work with all the major developers active in the area rather than representing any single one, so you see the full picture of what is available — not just one show-home’s stock. Browse our new build properties on the Costa Blanca South to see the latest villa releases, and remember that advertised prices do not include purchase taxes and costs; we will always give you a clear budget breakdown before you commit.

La Zenia is the name on most buyers’ lips — and for good reason. It combines one of the area’s best beaches with La Zenia Boulevard, the largest shopping centre in Alicante Province, right on the doorstep. Villas and apartments in La Zenia are in constant demand, whether as permanent homes, holiday bases or rental investments, and property here tends to sell quickly when it is priced well.

Cabo Roig is widely considered the prettiest urbanisation on this coast, with its clifftop walks, marina and long-established villa streets. Villamartín, set just inland around its famous golf course, offers exceptional value for villa buyers and a lively, international community. Punta Prima and Playa Flamenca provide well-connected beachside living, while Campoamor rounds out the coast with a quieter, greener feel next to its own golf and beach.

It depends on the lifestyle you want. La Zenia suits buyers who want beach, shopping and buzz within walking distance; Cabo Roig suits those drawn to seafront beauty and an established feel; Villamartín is the pick for golf and value; and Playa Flamenca, Punta Prima and Campoamor each balance beach access with quieter residential streets. We know every one of these communities well and will happily talk through which fits you best — honestly, and based on your priorities rather than our stock.

Villas may be the headline act, but the market here is genuinely broad. Apartments for sale in Orihuela Costa range from affordable holiday flats to frontline penthouses with sweeping sea views, and townhouses, bungalows and quads fill the space in between. For buyers who prefer an established home with mature gardens and a proven community, there is also a deep resale market across every one of the coastal communities — take a look at our resale properties to see the range.

Whatever the property type, the same rule applies: we listen first, then show you what genuinely fits. As independent agents we also collaborate with other agencies across the area, so if the right property for sale in Orihuela Costa is out there, we can get you to it.

Few places in Spain pack as much into a few kilometres. The wider Orihuela area offers five golf courses with ninety holes between them — including Villamartín, Las Ramblas, Real Club de Golf Campoamor and the award-winning Las Colinas Golf & Country Club — all within a short drive. If golf is central to your plans, our guide to golf property on the Costa Blanca South compares the region’s leading resorts in detail.

Add in the blue-flag beaches, the healthcare options including nearby private hospitals, international schools, and a calendar of markets and events that runs all year, and you have a coast built for real life as well as holidays.

Yes — and it is the first thing we tell our own clients: Orihuela Costa is lively all year round, and everything you need is already here. For many buyers it is the complete package. The area offers year-round sunshine, some of Spain’s most awarded beaches, excellent amenities, and one of the largest and most welcoming international communities in the country. It suits permanent relocators, holiday-home owners and investors alike, and because the infrastructure never shuts down for winter, it feels alive in every season. The main trade-off is popularity: the best-priced villas and apartments rarely stay on the market for long.

As a family-run agency, we treat every buyer as an individual — available any day of the week, and with you from your very first enquiry to key handover and beyond, including help with any post-sale questions once you have moved in. We can also assist with rentals, Airbnb co-hosting and property management if your villa will double as an investment. Our Buying Guide walks you through the whole Spanish purchase process step by step.

And whilst Orihuela Costa is one of our main areas, our coverage does not stop at its borders — we help buyers across other towns and urbanisations throughout the Costa Blanca South too, so tell us what you are looking for and we will find it.

From a new build villa near Villamartín’s fairways to a resale home five minutes from La Zenia beach, Orihuela Costa offers more choice than almost anywhere on the Spanish coast — and SolMar Properties is here to help you navigate it honestly, at your own pace, from first enquiry to key handover and beyond.
