Self-catering holiday homes: Moraira

Make a holiday rental apartment or villa in Moraira, Spain your home away from home

Between Benidorm and Javea on Spain’s Costa Blanca lies the town of Moraira, and old fishing village which has steadily started to rely on tourist income to survive. It has done this by retaining much of its Spanish fishing village charm, and refusing to be taken over by British fish and chip shops. Moraira holiday villas take the form of traditional Andalucian villas, often intermingled with stylish cafes and fish restaurants which huddle around the port.

Moraira’s main beach, the picturesque Platja de l’Ampolla, is within easy walking distance of all the accommodation in Moraira, just a few minutes past the daily fish market, which will supply all your seafood when staying in a self catering Moraira villa rental. A kilometre further on, the beach at Platja del Portet is the ideal spot to relax, as I am yet to find a more tranquil and peaceful spot to sun bathe. The golden sands are lapped gently by the turquoise waters, and are backed by quiet cafes from which to watch the world go by. There are also a great number of small, secluded and picturesque cove beaches within a few miles of a Moraira villa rental.
