Moraira

Areas

Where to live in Moraira

From seafront apartments to hillside villas with panoramic views:

• Village centre and El Portet – apartments and townhouses within walking distance of the beach, the marina and restaurants; El Portet is one of the most exclusive bays on the coast.
• Cap Blanc and Pla del Mar – villas and apartments along the rocky coastline, often frontline or with direct sea views.
• Hillside urbanisations – areas such as Benimeit, La Sabatera, Moravit and Paichi offer villas with pools and wide views over the sea and the Peñón de Ifach.
• Inland towards Teulada – quieter, often more affordable villas among vineyards and pine forests, close to the historic town of Teulada.

Nature

Cliffs, pine forests and the Cap d'Or

The Cap d'Or headland, with its 16th-century watchtower, offers one of the most beautiful walks in the area, with spectacular cliffs and views over the bay, the Peñón de Ifach and – on clear days – Ibiza. Inland, pine-covered hills and vineyards invite you to explore on foot or by bike.

Schools

Schools and services

Teulada-Moraira has public nursery and primary schools as well as a secondary school, with lessons in Valencian and Spanish. Several leading international and British schools in Benitachell, Jávea and Calpe are within a 10 to 20-minute drive. Moraira has a health centre, and the nearest hospital is in Dénia.

Culture & festivals

Castle, festivals and culture

Moraira's 18th-century castle stands right on the beach, built to protect the coast against pirates. In summer the village celebrates its fiestas with Moros i Cristians parades, music and fireworks.

The modern Teulada-Moraira auditorium hosts concerts and theatre throughout the year, and the historic old town of Teulada, a few minutes inland, is well worth a visit.
