Orihuela Costa & Playa Flamenca
Area & Attractions
Discover everything that Costa Blanca has to offer.
Orihuela Costa, located in the south of Alicante province, is one of the most desirable areas on the Costa Blanca. It enjoys over 300 days of sunshine per year and offers award-winning Blue Flag beaches, golf courses, natural parks, and a lively mix of culture and leisure. Areas such as Playa Flamenca and Punta Prima are ideal both for holidays and permanent living.
Playa Flamenca is in a privileged microclimate near Torrevieja, where winters are mild and summers warm without being extreme. It is an ecologically clean area, free from heavy industry and maritime traffic. The beaches here range from large, well-equipped ones to smaller, more natural coves — with rocky areas perfect for snorkeling.
Within 3–10 minutes walking distance: supermarkets (Lidl, Carrefour, Supercor), restaurants, bars, sports centres, karting, banks, ATMs, and the popular La Zenia Boulevard shopping mall.
