Holiday Rentals in Moraira

Moraira is the upscale, unhurried alternative to the larger Costa Blanca resorts. This former fishing village, officially part of the municipality of Teulada, has grown into one of the most desirable residential areas on the coast — a place where you will find elegant villas on hillsides overlooking the bay, intimate cove beaches, and a marina filled with sailing yachts rather than tour boats.

The town centres around the Playa de l'Ampolla, a sandy beach sheltered by the Cap d'Or headland, and the Castle of Moraira, a centuries-old watchtower that once guarded against pirates. The weekly Friday market is one of the best on the coast, and the restaurant scene punches well above its weight for a town of this size — expect fresh fish, Valencian rice dishes and local wines from the Teulada-Moraira vineyards.

For active travellers, Moraira offers excellent snorkelling and diving in the marine reserve, coastal walking routes along the dramatic cliffs to Calpe, and the Cap d'Or trail — a short but rewarding hike to a viewpoint over the entire northern Costa Blanca. The town is also a strong base for wine tourism, with several bodegas in the surrounding hills producing Moscatel and other Mediterranean varieties.

Moraira is approximately 1 hour 15 minutes from Alicante airport and 1 hour from Valencia airport, with good road connections via the AP-7. It is notably quieter than Benidorm or Calpe, which is precisely the point — travellers who choose Moraira are looking for quality, privacy and natural beauty over mass tourism.
