Orihuela Costa today: the area that generates the most interest for buying a home by the sea

Playa Flamenca
20 Jan 2026

If you're looking to buy property on the Costa Blanca, you'll likely see the name Orihuela Costa frequently. This is no coincidence: it's an area with a great climate, beaches, golf courses, year-round amenities, excellent transport links, and a well-established international atmosphere.

In recent years, Orihuela Costa has established itself as one of the most popular destinations for buying a second home on the southern Costa Blanca. Its more than 15 kilometers of coastline boast coves and beaches such as Punta Prima, Playa Flamenca, La Zenia, Cabo Roig, and Campoamor, many of which have been awarded Blue Flag status and are surrounded by residential developments designed for comfortable year-round living.

Added to this is something that many buyers increasingly value: a rare combination of sea, golf, and amenities within easy reach, with several renowned golf courses nearby and an established international community. Therefore, it's no surprise that those who come to Orihuela Costa "just to look" end up wanting to know more, compare different areas, and seriously consider taking the plunge and buying here.



Living in Orihuela Costa: more than just coming on holiday

What many shoppers discover when exploring the area is that it doesn't feel like just a summer destination. There's life year-round: supermarkets, restaurants, shopping centers, schools, medical centers, and green spaces make daily life easy, whether you're visiting for a few weeks or spending the winters or longer periods here.

The different areas of Orihuela Costa offer very different nuances : areas closer to the sea with a promenade and a lively atmosphere all year round, quieter residential developments, areas linked to golf... This allows you to fine-tune your search to the lifestyle you have in mind: more beach, more golf, more peace and quiet, or a combination of everything.


3 Properties that reflect the potential of Orihuela Costa

Within this context, some homes perfectly illustrate the kind of lifestyle you can expect if you decide to buy here. These three properties are a good example of that:


1. Semi-detached house in Lomas de Campoamor: sun, views and golf atmosphere

In Lomas de Campoamor we find a terraced house very well designed to enjoy the outdoors:

  • Approximately 83 m² built, with 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.

  • Three outdoor spaces: front plot, rear porch and a large rooftop solarium with unobstructed views of the golf course and southwest orientation, ideal for the afternoon sun.

  • Residential complex with green areas and a large communal swimming pool, about 500 meters from the Real Club de Golf Campoamor and next to supermarkets and restaurants.

It is the type of house that suits those looking for a well-maintained environment, nearby golf and the possibility of living much of the year enjoying the climate from different terraces.

2. Bungalows in Vistabella Golf: new construction and active lifestyle

In the Vistabella Golf area, a bungalow-style apartment project is being developed that combines tranquility, modern design and a very pleasant environment:

  • Bungalows with 2 or 3 bedrooms, with open kitchen, bright living room and built-in wardrobes.

  • Private parking space included.

  • Option of ground floor with private garden or upper floor with large solarium.

  • Residential complex with communal gardens and swimming pool, built with quality materials.

Its location next to the Vistabella golf course (18 holes, par 72), with a clubhouse, restaurant, bars and shops just a few minutes' walk away, and its good road connection to towns, beaches and airports, make it a very interesting option as a second home, investment or even main residence in a relaxed environment.

3. Apartment in Punta Prima: gated community near the sea

In Punta Prima, one of the most established areas of Orihuela Costa, we find a bright 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom apartment in a gated community:

  • Living-dining room with open-concept kitchen, designed for comfortable everyday use.

  • Practical layout and good natural light.

  • Located in an exclusive complex, close to the sea and amenities, making it attractive both as a permanent residence and for holiday use.

It is a clear example of the type of housing many buyers are looking for: easy to maintain, well located and in an area where you can go down to the beach, go out to dinner or do your shopping without long journeys.
