MORAIRA – Originally a small fishing village, Moraira has grown into a pretty, cosmopolitan town. It is situated approximately 75km from Alicante and 95km from Valencia in an area of outstanding beauty. 

The local authority has exerted control over Moraira's development, with the result that it consists of mainly detached private villas on the surrounding hillsides with few holiday apartments and none of the "package holiday" hotels or high-rise buildings so common in other resorts. While it retains an unspoilt charm, Moraira still has plenty to offer for all age groups. 

 

There are many fine sandy beaches near the centre of Moraira which slope gently into the Mediterranean Sea and are ideal for children.

  • Playa del Portet, a small, safe and secluded inlet. Ideal for a quick dip.
  • Club Nautica beach, which is accessed via an exclusive marina with many facilities.
  • Torre Cap d'Dor is a small beach which can be reached on foot from the El Portet beach.
  • La Cala, a small beach with lovely clear waters. This beach is rocky and difficult to access so you can only get to it by boat.
  • Platgetes beach has very easy access and a car park, a few restaurants, facilities such as showers, etc.
  • Cap Blanc is a lovely bathing beach situated at the bottom of some cliffs. You'll have to park your car at the top and walk down.
  • L'Andragó is a rocky beach with a restaurant right on the sea. A very nice place to sit and enjoy the view.
  • L'Ampolla is a golden sandy beach near the castle on the main promenade. It is the largest and most popular beach in the area with its very own children's play area. A one-minute walk to the edge of the town, where you find the shops and bars.
There are also several discos and a small funfair in town. 

 

For those who prefer sporting activities: water sports including jet skiing and subaqua diving, boat hire, golf (Golf Ifach, only two minutes away and La Sella Golf Course, in Denia), tennis, horse riding and go-cart racing are all very close to hand. 

With hundreds of restaurants, of numerous styles, delightful cafes and bars providing "tapas" and refreshments, Moraira and the surrounding area caters for all tastes and budgets. The "menu del dia" can provide excellent value for money and even today you can find a three-course meal with bread and wine included for less than 10 euros. 

 

There are several supermarkets in the area for those that want to do their own cooking in our well equipped kitchen or perhaps on the BBQ. You can buy meat, deliciously fresh fish and shell food, fruit and vegetables in local open-air weekly markets, each village having its own "day". 

Moraira has all the normal services of a small modern town, and an array of banks, garages, boutiques, gift and souvenir shops, newsagents and book shops.

THE COSTA BLANCA – one of Spain's most attractive coastal regions

It combines rugged mountains and white sandy beaches with fertile plains of orange groves and almond orchards. Stretching midway along Spain's eastern coast, it retains a very Spanish atmosphere with many picturesque fishing villages, unspoilt coves and inlets, and numerous places of interest to visit. 

From basketwork to locally made pottery, nougat and honey, to caves, citadels and castles, the Costa Blanca offers so much more than just "sun, sea and sand"! The attractions of Terramitica, Aqualandia and Mundomar are all a short drive away. 

 

As in other parts of Spain, Fiestas and Saint's Days are celebrated here with processions and parties, fireworks, food and wine. They are definitely not to be missed!

And finally, the Costa Blanca is also considered by many to have possibly the most perfect allyear round climate in the world!

With average daily temperatures of between 16°C in January to 31°C in July and August, and average daily hours of sunshine of between six hours in the winter and 12 hours in the summer, it's easy to see why this area is so popular at all times of the year.

 

Casa Vida is located about half way down the hillside opposite Moraira and is sheltered from cloud and wind. Our air conditioning, room fans and heaters, if needed, keep our villa very comfortable during the cooler evenings of the spring and winter and the hotter days and nights during the rest of the year.
