Map of Moraira

About Moraira, Costa Blanca

An exclusive location with beautiful coastline and great facilities including shopping, sports, a castle and great restaurants. Antoniet's in the town is a family run concern, and has been since the 1960's, offering superb Spanish cuisine. Another well known fine restaurant offering mediterranean cuisine is Le Dauphin, in a stunning setting overlooking the bay of El Portet.

Being off the main coast road it doesn't suffer the crowding of some resorts - Moraira has a reputation for beautiful property and an air of exclusivity.

There is a wide selection of well priced properties in Moraira available for holiday lettings. For those wishing to explore the area, or drive to the numerous golf courses, car hire in Moraira is very reasonable.

Owner's Tips

The local restaurants, La Tartana & Rondo's are great value, with good food and excellent service. And, what's even better it's only 5 minutes walk away! The villa is in an excellent position as it is in easy travelling distance of Benissa, Calpe, Denia, Altea & Benidorm. Moraira has one of the most excellent family-friendly beaches in the area and has according to the World Heath Organisation one of the most healthiest climates in the World.

Moraira is one of the loveliest towns on the Costa Blanca and still a thriving fishing port with traditions that have remained unchanged for hundreds of years. The fishermen go to sea in the early hours of the morning to catch the produce, which is sold later that day at the traditional fish market. This market has grown over the years and is now one of the most important in the region.

Another ancient trade is that of wine making; a lot of the land around Moraira is dedicated to the growing of the Muscatel grapes and many local vineyards produce excellent quality wine.

The town centre is an attractive blend of the old and the new with a wide selection of boutiques, shops, bars and some excellent restaurants offering a wide choice of Spanish and international cuisine.

Moraira's main beach, L'Ampolla, at the foot of the castle, is an ideal family beach with golden sand and excellent facilities while just 1.5 Kms away is El Portet. Surrounded by steep hills, this sheltered bay with its gently sloping beach is perfect for safe swimming.

One of Moraira's most important festivals is the Fiesta of the Moors and Christians, usually held in June. However, other towns in the area celebrate this festival at different times during the summer. Theatrically presented in impressive costumes, the townspeople are separated into Moorish and Christian groups to take part in marches and mock battles at various times and places throughout the town. The high point of this fantastic fiesta is the procession and firework display on the last day.

Moraira has a market day on Fridays, while Benissa and Calpe have their market days on Saturdays. Altea holds it market day on Tuesdays and the largest market is in Benidorm on Wednesdays and Sundays.

Nearby, are the larger towns of Javea, Denia, Benitachell and Benidorm, all well worth a visit and only minutes away by car. Benidorm has loads of Theme Parks that are all worth a visit.

There is a lot of sporting activity to be enjoyed in and around Moraira including: Tennis, Watersports and a Waterpark, Horse Riding, Fishing, Go-Karting, Scuba-Diving, Cycling, Walking and of course - Golf. Keen golfers will also be relieved to know that the Ifach 9 hole golf course is only a 10 minute walk away but always better to take the car anyway to carry the clubs of course!

About us
I enjoy the personal touch that I supply to all my guests and try to make them feel as comfortable and relaxed as quickly as possible so that they can make the absolute most of their holiday especially if they are here for a week as the days just fly by so quickly. And having a professional background in the Catering and Hospitality Industry gives me the opportunity to "fine tune" guests needs even if that means cooking their BBQ, making a cocktail, or running them into town so that the driver gets a night off. We at Villa Melrose enjoy giving guests a truly unique experience incorporating the service of a 5* establishment mixed with the joy of staying in a home from home.

What we love about our property
I have tried to create several areas to relax and unwind. Whether it is by the pool, or in the "nook" or in one of the seated areas in the gardens. There are plenty of options to choose from whether you want sun or shade. And the fact that it is very close to restaurants, a supermarket and a beach.
All in all, Villa Melrose is the perfect choice for a holiday to remember.
