Moraira – Villa – €3.595.000 – TAMOR1596

VILLA ALGAS, L’ANDRAGÓ, MORAIRA

Morning coffee in a walled garden off the kitchen, the house still quiet. Two minutes later, your feet are in the Mediterranean.

Villa Algas sits second line to the sea in L’Andragó, one of the most sought-after coastal addresses in Moraira, within the municipality of Teulada-Moraira on the Costa Blanca North. It is one of only five villas in a private gated community, reached through its own gated entrance, and faces south across manicured gardens, lawns and mature planting that give it real privacy so close to the water. The cove at L’Andragó, the Algas beach bar and the restaurants along the Moraira–Calpe road are all an easy stroll away. The car can stay in the garage.

The house was built in 2007 by one of the Costa Blanca’s most respected builders, in the traditional Mediterranean style the area does best: generous, solid and made to last. You enter into a dramatic double-height hall that opens onto an enormous living and dining space, with a separate snug for quieter evenings. The proportions are on another scale entirely. Underfloor heating runs beneath it all, so the house feels as good in January as it does in July.

The kitchen is built for people who actually cook, and for people who like to gather round someone who does. It is fully equipped with high-end appliances, stone worktops and a large central island, and it opens straight onto a private garden set aside for morning coffee.

On the ground floor, a large double bedroom with its own spacious en suite suits guests, older family members or anyone who would rather not climb stairs. A grand staircase rises to the first floor. The primary suite has a sunken bath in a large en suite and a private terrace facing the sea, the kind of place where the day starts and ends. Across the mezzanine, which looks down over the living room below, bedrooms three and four share a family bathroom, and one of them has its own sea-facing terrace.

Outside, life moves under a large covered naya that stretches along the living spaces, shaded at midday and open to the garden. There is a summer kitchen for long lunches, lawns for children and a south-facing outlook that keeps the sun on the house all day. A separate double garage completes the plot.

A recently installed solar heating system reduces running costs and makes the most of Moraira’s sunshine.

The house also has a well-documented rental track record, so it works as a family home, a holiday base or an investment. Purchase through the company that owns it is also possible, subject to the buyer’s own legal and tax advice.

A rare combination of scale, privacy and walk-to-the-sea position in one of Moraira’s most established neighbourhoods. Houses like this very seldom come up.

AREA GUIDE: L’ANDRAGÓ, MORAIRA

Where is L’Andragó?
L’Andragó is a coastal neighbourhood of Moraira, in the municipality of Teulada-Moraira, in the Marina Alta district of Alicante province on the Costa Blanca North. It lies along the Moraira–Calpe coast road just south-west of Moraira town centre, set around the cove of the same name. Homes here are within walking distance of the sea, the village centre and a cluster of restaurants, bars and gyms.

What is L’Andragó known for?
The cove itself. Cala l’Andragó is made up mostly of large wave-worn boulders, and its shallow, clear water makes it ideal for snorkelling and diving, with a well-lit seabed full of Mediterranean marine life. A viewing platform above the cove gives one of the most photographed panoramas on this stretch of coast. Just above the water is Algas l’Andragó, a beach bar at kilometre 1.9 of the Moraira–Calpe road known for its sunsets and full-moon evenings. It serves Mediterranean and Spanish dishes, tapas and cocktails, and is one of Moraira’s best-loved places for breakfast, a long lunch or an evening drink.

What is Moraira like?
Moraira is a former fishing village that has kept its low-rise character, with no high-rise development along its seafront. It has a working marina and yacht club, an 18th-century coastal castle on the town beach, Blue Flag beaches and a restaurant scene out of all proportion to its size. Every Friday morning a street market fills the main car park with local produce, fashion and crafts. The village is lively in summer and calm, but never closed, through the winter, which is why so many owners live here year-round.

What amenities are nearby?
L’Andragó is well served on foot. Its commercial area is home to restaurants and bars including La Cabana, The Food Bar, Cha Cha Moraira and Temblor, alongside OrO Gym, which offers Technogym equipment, a spa and wellness area with saunas and ice baths, a juice bar and terrace, and group classes and personal training. Sunyata Health & Wellness, a second gym in Moraira, focuses on holistic wellbeing, and Solpark Moraira has padel and tennis courts with its own gym. Supermarkets, pharmacies, banks and medical services are all in Moraira centre, with larger shopping in Teulada, Benissa and Calpe.

How far is Moraira from the airport?
Alicante–Elche Airport is approximately one hour by car via the AP-7 motorway. Valencia Airport is approximately one hour and fifteen minutes. Both have year-round flights to the UK and major European cities.

Can you fly to the Costa Blanca North from the United States?
Yes. From June 2027, United Airlines will operate three weekly services between Valencia and Newark. Newark is a United hub, with onward connections across the United States. Air Transat already runs a year-round Valencia–Montreal service.

What towns are close to Moraira?
Teulada, the historic municipal centre, is a short drive inland. Benitachell and Jávea lie to the north, around 15 to 20 minutes away. Benissa and Calpe, with the Peñón de Ifach, are to the south, around 15 minutes away. Altea and Dénia are both around half an hour by car.

What is there to do nearby?
Sailing, paddleboarding and diving from Moraira’s marina and coves. Walking the coastal paths to the Cap d’Or watchtower or along the Benissa cliffs. Nine holes at Club de Golf Ifach in San Jaime, ten minutes away, and padel and tennis at Solpark. Inland, the Jalón valley offers vineyards, local bodegas and mountain villages, and Teulada-Moraira has its own long tradition of Moscatel wine.

Are there international schools in the area?
Yes. Lady Elizabeth School in Benitachell is around ten minutes away and teaches the British curriculum through to A-level. Xàbia International College in Jávea is around twenty minutes away. Several Spanish state and concertado schools serve Teulada-Moraira.

Who buys in L’Andragó?
L’Andragó draws both Spanish buyers and the established international buyer pool that has made Moraira one of the most in-demand markets on the Costa Blanca North. Some are families wanting a permanent home within walking distance of the sea. Others are second-home owners who want strong rental demand when they are not using the house. Houses within walking distance of the sea, a cove and a restaurant area rarely come up.

What is the climate like?
Moraira has a mild Mediterranean microclimate, sheltered by the Cap d’Or headland and the mountains of the Marina Alta. It enjoys around 300 days of sunshine a year. Summers are hot and tempered by sea breezes. Winters are mild and bright, with daytime temperatures that often allow lunch outside in January.
