Property Description

Situated in a prime location on the Orihuela Costa, the Holiday Home @ Playa Flamenca is only 35 minutes from Alicante airport, 20 from Murcia airport and just 10 minutes from the tourist resort of Torrevieja. The Orihuela Costa is located in the south of Alicante province and is part of the southern Costa Blanca. Playa Flamenca is a quiet established residential development close to safe beaches and four championship golf courses and provides the ideal location for family, beach or golf holidays.

A fully furnished 3 twin-bedroom semi-detached property with a large private rooftop sun terrace, balcony off the main bedroom, large patio, built-in BBQ and use of a communal pool. The property benefits from air-conditioning/heating and normally sleeps 6, but there is a fold-up bed for a 7th person. A convenient supermarket, bank and medical clinic, together with restaurants, bars and a large Saturday street market are all within 5 minutes walk. The beaches at Playa Flamenca are a 3-minute drive and there are four 18-hole golf courses within 20 minutes.

On the sub-tropical western coast of the Mediterranean the Orihuela Costa is a well-kept secret, far less arid than the Costa del Sol to the south and warmer than the Costa Brava to the north. The absence of the strong sirocco wind or the very high temperatures in summer results in a gentle climate, with more than 330 days of sunshine per year and an annual average temperature of 19°C. Mild winter temperatures and clear skies make the area a Mecca for winter golfers trying to beat the winter blues (or greens!)

Local Area Information

For those not too handy with a golf club, there are endless activities to enjoy. A local beach has water sports during high season. You will find banana boats, jet bikes and para-sailing here but if you want something a little more secluded, there are several other beaches around the Torrevieja area to choose from including La Mata in the north or Mar Menor to the south, which is particularly suitable for children.

The area is famous for its salt lakes – which are two of the largest salt lagoons in Europe – situated to the west of Torrevieja. Although still extensively farmed for their salt, the lakes are now protected habitats for a huge variety of migratory bird life, including pink flamingos. There are several establishments open to the public on the natural park, with qualified staff to help visitors with their enquiries.

Attractions within approximately an hour’s drive include Terra Mitica Theme Park, the Benidorm Palace for dinner, shows & dancing and Mundomar Marine & Exotic Animal Park. Also nearby is the Rio Safari Park and the Curates’ Orchard at Elche, a garden 13,000 sq metres in size, specialising in Mediterranean and tropical plants, especially different varieties of palm tree. The caves at Busot boast one of the highest vaults in all of Spain, described as being similar to a cathedral. Busot also offers hiking routes with views of the whole region.

Nestling in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada, the romantic city of Grenada with the magnificent Moorish Alhambra palace and the Generalife gardens is about 3 hours drive to the southwest. The Alhambra palace is considered to be an exquisite and the best-preserved example of Moorish architecture. The marvellous Generalife gardens bordering the Alhambra were created in the 13th Century and retain their original shaping. The gardens in their breath-taking setting overlooking the city have inspired many important musicians and authors.
