Moraira is charming coastal town situated in the beautiful mountainous north-eastern tip of the Costa Blanca. The resort is conveniently placed between the airports of Alicante and Valencia (about 90km from each).
The surrounding region has a quiet and relaxing atmosphere, with beautiful and unspoilt scenery and many small villages to explore.
The town itself has pleasantly grown from a small fishing village to an attractive holiday and retirement resort, retaining its considerable charm that attracts visitors from all over Europe. It is also particularly popular with Spanish holidaymakers from Madrid and Valencia. Surrounded by lush green hillsides dotted with white villas, Moraira truly is a vision to behold.
Moraira has an impressive Club Nautico marina, an excellent variety of local shops, markets, harbourside fish restaurants and bars and best of all has still managed to preserve its Spanish character and charm with just a few small boutique hotels.
Beaches
The two main local sandy beaches, gently shelve away into the Mediterranean Sea; both have been awarded the prestigious EEC Blue Flags for cleanliness and are well-tended and very safe for family bathing. Along the coastal road which leads from Moraira to Calpe, you will find several inviting beaches and rocky coves, most of which include a beach bar or 'cabana' where you can relax and savour the view of the Mediterranean whilst enjoying a cocktail, coffee or typical Spanish meal 'al-fresco'.
