Moraira Costa Blanca
Villa and Apartment Holidays
Nestling in a pretty bay and set between forest-clad hills and Blue Flag beaches, Moraira is a welcoming, picture-postcard resort, friendly, fun and ideal for a family sun-and-sand holiday.
Moraira enjoys an average of 325 days of sunshine per year, and temperatures that stay constantly pleasantly warm. The sea breezes ensure it is never sweltering in summer, and the surrounding mountains protect the town from the winter winds.
Moraira is an oasis of traditional charm on the busy Costa Blanca, a popular holiday destination and a retirement haven.
At the heart of pretty Moraira are the original fisherman's sugar-white buildings in a picturesque sandy bay. Today Moraira has grown into an attractive resort surrounded by luxury villas without losing its Spanish character, with its romantic cobbled square and a pace of life that remains unrushed.
Moraira has a variety of good shops, a colourful weekly market, atmospheric old town, and many waterfront restaurants and bars. And Moraira has a gleaming marina - the pride of the Valencian Community, a smart new waterfront and a smattering of modern plazas.
The golden Tosca stone watchtower by the beach was built in the 18th century, as protection against marauding Barbary pirates. Today the pirate ships are replaced by sleek yachts and boat trips ferrying holidaymakers to local resorts including Calpe or Alicante.
There is a good choice of modern supermarkets and a wide range of beautiful shops in Moraira. And there are more large supermarkets on the main entrance roads to the town selling both Spanish and international foods and drink.
In the centre of Moraira, there is a wide choice of good quality boutique stores selling designer-wear from jewellery and clothes to shoes and handbags - at prices to suit everyone. There are also shops selling local arts and crafts, souvenirs with a wide range of Lladro, and everything else to make your holiday perfect at a reasonable price. The Friday weekly market sells fresh fruit and vegetables, clothes to leather goods, pottery and rugs. You can even get your hair braided! During the summer months, there is also a evening market in the centre of the town selling an astonishing range of jewellery and souvenirs.
Moraira is an important gourmet centre in Spain, with numerous good quality restaurants, several with Michelin stars, and all offering great value for money. The local fishing fleet is still active so local fresh seafood is a major ingredient in the local cuisine.
And families on a budget are well served here too. For a budget meal, look for the fixed price menus offered by many restaurants, usually consisting of different courses with wine and coffee for a set price. Most Spanish bars serve tapas during the day, great for a satisfying local snack. Today, it is possible to find restaurants in Moraira offering cuisine from all over the world, from fish and chips to Himalayan.
Moraira's nightlife begins very late, and centres on a select group of small disco-bars in the centre of town. Many restaurants also offer live entertainment of some description, including flamenco dancing and karaoke, and there are one or two open-air dance venues. Outside of the peak season, Moraira has numerous fiestas which are full of local colour and tradition.
Moraira offers great water sports including scuba diving, wind-surfing and jet-skiing. The area is well served for good quality golf courses, including the Club de Golf Ifach, Javea Golf Club and the famous La Sella golf course There are also several gyms and fitness clubs.
The countryside around Moraira offers beautiful scenery dotted with unspoilt villages. And despite the relaxed traditional ambience of Moraira there is plenty to occupy holiday-makers. The resort has four sparkling, sandy beaches, bearers of the prestigious EU Blue Flag. There are also plenty of sport and leisure facilities on offer.
Alicante airport is only 60 minutes away, and within a short drive the excellent motorway provides easy connection to nearby towns and the rest of Spain.
