Villas in Torrevieja

Situated on a wide coastal plain between two multicoloured salt lagoons, Torrevieja is a popular resort town with great beaches and a pumping nightlife, a town which equally attracts families with children and younger people looking to party. Villas in Torrevieja are concentrated outside of the town, which is mostly composed of apartment blocks. However, there are a small number villas near the city beaches, mostly for 4-6 persons, but if you are renting a car and travelling in a big group, look northwest of the town in the suburban area just north of Laguna Salada de la Mata, where you will find numerous large, opulent villas to pick from.

Holiday villas in Torrevieja have been designed so that you can enjoy the 300+ sunny days in Torrevieja. Patios adorned with flowers and plants, comfortable furnishings and lashings of shade create a truly holiday-esque environment for your stay in Torrevieja. Almost all villas boast spacious gardens, a private swimming pool and BBQ facilities.

In Torrevieja there are so many restaurants to choose from in the coastal area that offer unparalleled service and affordable prices. Foodies will go mad for the Torrevieja paella, cooked with lashing of seafood in huge pans 3 meters across. Even better, Torrevieja boasts great cultural diversity, with Italian, Russian, Chinese, Argentine, Greek, Turkish and Indian restaurants all ready and waiting to wreak havoc on your diet!

Torrevieja has historically been a popular destination for families from north Europe. Asides from its beaches, it has numerous attractions to keep the rascals entertained, such as Jardín de las Naciones park, with a dragon slide that will keep them entertained for a pleasing amount of time, and countless domestic birds such as chickens, peacocks and ducks wandering freely in a fantastic natural environment. If you are here in summer, Aquapark Flamingo water park is a must. The cheeky scoundrels will completely forget about screens and computer games as they delight in the myriad water attractions, slides and huge wave pool. The park is both inexpensive and one of the highest rated in Spain!

The hamlet of Torrelamata is home to the La Mata beach, Torrevieja’s most popular summertime destination. It is a white sand beach more than 2,000 meters long where you can enjoy the warm waters of the Mediterranean and a wide variety of maritime activities. Boasting great accessibility and amenities such as showers, access walkways and children's playgrounds, it is a great place to take your family. But if perfection were a beach, it would be Playa del Moncayo stretching north from La Mata. Many kilometres long, perfectly clean and very rarely busy, it is a great place to get away from the crowds and connect with nature whilst still being within hopping distance of the city.

Torrevieja Pier begins at Torrevieja Lighthouse. Great for a relaxing walk in the breeze with fab sea views and the bustling with the lives of Torrevieja’s hard working locals. Look out for the statue of a woman, representing the woman's farewell to a sailor from Torrevieja.

In the city harbour you will find the S-61 Delfin Submarine, the very first Spanish Army ship to become a floating museum, offering you the opportunity to discover the inside of a submarine and imagine how the members of its crew used to live.

A walk along the promenade deep into a warm summer night is the quintessential Spanish activity. Join the locals as you amble slowly along the promenade, in absolutely no rush whatsoever, before stopping at the most tempting looking bar for a refreshing drink!

Parque del Molino is a lovely place to while away the hot midday hours. Experience true tranquillity in the shade of the pine trees, interrupted only by the exotic beating of cicada wings and the sound of running water. The water features lead straight to the beach and sand dunes.

The Archpriest Church of the Immaculate Conception is located in the Plaza de la Constitución in Torrevieja, and is one of the city’s most distinguished buildings. The interior is wonderfully detailed, and there are so many works of art, carvings and beautiful sculptures for you to explore at your heart’s content.

If you happen to be in Torrevieja on July 16 then your luck is in! A massive party is thrown in the town to mark the patron saint of the fishermen. Colourful parades, bizarre games involving greasy poles, and a huge fireworks display, all wrapped up in the famous Spanish Joie de vivre that makes events like this so alluring.

To the rear of Torrevieja there are two large lagoons, one is pink and used for salt extraction, the other is green. This is a special place, with the salt earth creating spectacular shapes, colours, and textures, and as you hike or cycle around the lagoons you will witness an abundance of flamingos and other rare birds. Come at sunset for a guilt free psychedelic experience.
