Property in Playa Flamenca: buy or rent long term

A lively, practical neighbourhood with its own beach, a big weekly market and more everyday shops than most of the coast.

Living in Playa Flamenca

Playa Flamenca has a strong community feel by Orihuela Costa standards: a small commercial centre, bars, banks and the large weekly market that draws people from along the coast. The beach is sandy and the coastal path connects it to La Zenia and Punta Prima.

Buying in Playa Flamenca

Plenty of bungalows, townhouses and apartments around communal pools, many from the 1990s and 2000s. Often slightly better value than equivalent homes in La Zenia. Check the age of complexes, community finances and whether the property was built with the parking and storage the listing implies.
