Moraira - Exclusive Costa Blanca Holiday Town


The Costa Blanca towns of Javea, Denia, Moraira and Calpe are often overlooked as holiday destinations for UK tourists. One of the most exclusive towns on Spain’s coast is Moraira located about 25 miles north of Benidorm, sandwiched between the resorts of Javea and Calpe.

This is the place to go to if you want a quiet beach holiday without the crowds associated with some of Spain’s larger resorts, and there are many holiday villas overlooking the town and sea.

The town is actually called Teulada-Moraira consisting of Teulada which sits inland at the top of a hill and has many of the shops, banks and offices, and Moraira which is the port and beach, but also has many shops, banks, bars and the marina.

Moraira is perhaps the quietest of the Costa Blanca holiday resorts. It has a family beach with water-sports, and a park just behind it, directly next to the town and the castle. It also boasts it’s very own secluded cove called “El Portet” which can only be reached by going through Moraira.

There is only one time of the year that Moraira ever becomes noisy, which is the famous annual Moors and Christians fiesta. The celebration lasts for about a week and includes a parade by the local people dressed in spectacular costumes depicting the conflict between the Moors and Christians in Spain. In recent years the event has culminated with the “Moraira Music Festival” which is an open-air concert usually using the flood-lit castle as a backdrop. The performers are often taken from local children as well as professional singers and musicians.

Many of these entertainers can be seen in various bars around Moraira and are popular with both locals and holiday makers. Most of the music bars are grouped together in an area called The Paichi Centre. There is usually a choice of different types of music as well as big screen sports and pub quizzes on offer.

If you want to get out and about there are a number of car rental firms with offices in Moraira. Car rental gives you the freedom to explore the Costa Blanca at your own pace, and to see exactly what you want to see and not to be restricted to the timetable set by your holiday company.

The quiet and exclusive atmosphere of Moraira makes it the perfect escape from a busy lifestyle.

Costa Blanca - The Area

Denia boasts over 20 kilometres of long, clean, sandy beaches, some of the best of which are Les Marines, L’Almadrava and Les Deveses . The focal point of the town is its castle, which houses a Museum of Archaeology, but visitors may also enjoy seeing Saint Antonio Church, an attractive sandstone structure, and wandering around the Marques de Campo in the city’s old quarter, with its whitewashed walls and open-air cafes. Those in search of a whimsical museum visit should head to the Toy Museum, with its display of locally crafted toys dating from the early 1900s. Nature-lovers, both above and below sea level are well catered for, with scuba diving in the Cape Sant Antonio Marine Reserve and good hiking trails and bird watching in Montgo National Park. The Balearic Islands are also accessible by ferry.

Javea is made up of 3 areas, the Arenal beach area, the working fishing port and the historic old town. The town offers many bars, restaurants and cafes. There


Moraira features traditional architecture, with local building restrictions ensuring that the town has retained much of its charm. The castle and marina are two of the town’s focal points, with its calm beaches ideal for families. Not far from here, Altea boasts the renowned 9-hole Don Cayo golf course, plus a rather fabulous harbour where you can wishful-think and window-shop for your own luxury vessel.



Benidorm, undoubtedly one of the biggest, boldest and brashest resorts on the coast nevertheless has plenty to offer the visitor other than the downsides of mass tourism. There’s no denying that concrete high-rises, overcooked tourists, English pubs and all-night discos are here, but the beaches, like many along the Costa Blanca, are good and clean, and golfing opportunities abound, with around 15 courses in easy reach. There’s plenty to keep children occupied, not the least of which are the area’s 3 fun parks, two of which combine education with entertainment





Located not far from Benidorm, Villajoyosa is in other ways miles apart, with its relative tranquillity and attractive old town, featuring brightly coloured house fronts, said to have been painted so that fishermen could identify their home from out at sea. The seafront esplanade is a picturesque setting for watching the day’s catch being sold off to the town’s restaurants - and is there honestly anyone who won’t be tempted by a visit to the Chocolate Museum?
