Property for Sale in Moraira

In the northern Costa Blanca, nestled between Javea and Calpe, set on a backdrop of mesmerising mountains, sits the small upmarket town of Moraira, about an hour north of the city of Alicante. The town has grown from a small fishing village to an attractive holiday and retirement resort. Property for sale in Moraira attracts foreign buyers looking for a heavenly slice of the Costa Blanca to call their own. Benidorm also was once a small fishing village, but unlike Benidorm, Moraira remains a tiny location and has retained much of its old-fashioned Spanish charm.

A property for sale in Moraira offers the proximity of eight beautiful kilometres of coastline. A favourite is Playa del Portet, a horse-shaped beach of fine sand and rock with clear waters; it offers diving, sailing, snorkelling, and kayaking. Moraira’s coastline is distinctly characterised by caves, which are perfect for observing underwater life, but the number one water sport in Moraira is stand-up paddle boarding.

In Moraira, the most eye-catching landmark is the Castillo de Moraira, a beautiful 18th century castle. It is right by the beach. Additionally, Torre Vigia Cap d'Or, is a 16th century tower that was served as local surveillance – today, it is well worth the hike to see not only the watchtower but also the incredible views of the Mediterranean and out towards Ibiza.

Golfers will feel at home in Moraira as it has a nine-hole golf course, Club de Golf Ifach, and there are plenty of other golf courses to explore along the Costa Blanca.

Moraira enjoys long, warm summers and brief winters. From June to August, you can expect temperatures between 25 and 35 degrees. From September to October, the temperature dips into the late teens and early twenties. In winter, Moraira experiences an average daily maximum of 12°C. This picks up in Spring, and by May, you can expect temperatures in the mid-twenties.

The nearest airport to Moraira is just over an hour away, Alicante airport. Alicante airport is served by budget-friendly airlines and makes trips to and from the UK throughout the year, so any property for sale in Moraira will be simple to get to. Should you wish to travel without a car, there is a shuttle service from Alicante airport to Moraira.

A small one-to-two-bedroom property for sale in Moraira will have a starting price of €160,000. To be mere minutes from the beach, this price jumps up a little to €230,000. You will be able to find both apartments and small villas for this price. If you are after a family villa of four bedrooms or more, then prices begin just under €400,000. In many destinations along the Costa Blanca, there is everything from run down properties to sparkling new apartments to luxury villas. However, the choice of property in Moraira is less diverse, but if what you are after is a beautiful villa near to the sea, then Moraira might just steal your heart.
