Orihuela Costa’s headline beach-and-shopping hub: Blue Flag sands, cliff path, and La Zenia Boulevard—frontline/second-line apartments and villas with excellent rental demand.
Facts
La Zenia combines a wide Blue Flag beach and clifftop promenade with the region’s largest retail draw at La Zenia Boulevard. Expect upper-mid to prime coastal pricing around €3,340/m² for renovated, sea-prox apartments and villas; unobstructed sea views, modern spec, and pool/parking push higher.
