Of all Moraira's residential urbanisations, Pla del Mar occupies a unique position: it delivers the privacy and security of a gated luxury development with the rare convenience of walking to town, the beach and the marina. Most buyers who discover it stop looking elsewhere.
Location: 5-minute flat walk to El Portet beach, L'Ampolla beach, Moraira Yacht Club and the town centre. No other luxury urbanisation in Moraira offers this combination.
Security: single-access road (one way in, one way out), 24-hour security patrol and CCTV coverage throughout the urbanisation — unusually comprehensive for the Costa Blanca.
Infrastructure: mains drainage, underground electrical cabling and well-maintained street lighting. These are significant differentiators in a region where many urbanisations still rely on septic tanks.
Community facilities: communal tennis courts and landscaped green areas maintained by the urbanisation community.
Plot sizes: 600 m² to 3,500 m², with most villas detached and south or southwest-facing for maximum sun exposure.
Views: many properties command open sea views toward the Peñón de Ifach and the Sierra Bernia mountains.
Year-round appeal: over 60% of Pla del Mar residents live here permanently, not just in summer — a strong indicator of lifestyle quality.
Our current listings include a range of property types to suit different budgets and intentions:
Move-in ready villas: fully renovated Mediterranean and contemporary homes, typically 3–5 bedrooms, private pool, mature garden and sea or valley views. Prices from approximately €900,000.
New build and off-plan projects: modern architect-designed villas with energy-efficient systems, infinity pools and open-plan living. Several projects are currently under construction with completion in 2025–2026. Prices from €1,200,000.
Renovation opportunities: original properties from the 1970s–1990s on flat, well-located plots — ideal for buyers who want to design their own home in a prime location. Prices from €650,000 for the plot and structure.
Pla del Mar sits within Moraira's urban zone, which means planning regulations are clearly defined. Building on existing plots requires a minimum plot width of 20 metres facing the road. The town hall licence rate is 2.1% and the tax is 2.4% of the estimated construction amount — our team can guide you through this process in detail.
For international buyers, the purchase process in Spain typically takes 6–10 weeks from signed reservation contract to notary completion, assuming NIE numbers and Spanish bank accounts are in place. We coordinate the full process: legal due diligence, notary coordination, NIE assistance and post-sale utility transfers. Our team works in English, Dutch, German, French and Spanish.

How close is Pla del Mar to the beach?
El Portet beach is a 5-minute flat walk from most properties in Pla del Mar. L'Ampolla beach and the Moraira Yacht Club are at a similar distance. This walkability is the urbanisation's single most valued feature among buyers.
Why is Pla del Mar considered Moraira's most prestigious urbanisation?
The combination of factors is rare: walking distance to town and beach, 24-hour security with single-access road, mains drainage, underground infrastructure, communal tennis courts and large mature plots. Most luxury urbanisations on the Costa Blanca offer some of these — Pla del Mar offers all of them.
What are typical property prices in Pla del Mar?
Prices range from around €650,000 for a renovation project to over €3,000,000 for a frontline luxury villa with panoramic sea views. The majority of transactions fall between €900,000 and €1,800,000. Price per square metre of built area typically ranges from €3,500 to €7,000 depending on condition, views and plot size.
Is Pla del Mar a good investment for holiday rentals?
Yes, consistently. Walk-to-beach properties with private pools in a secure urbanisation command some of the highest weekly rental rates in Moraira — typically €3,500–€15,000 per week in high season depending on size and specification. A valid tourist licence (licencia turística) is required; our team can advise on current availability and the application process.
Can UK buyers purchase property in Pla del Mar post-Brexit?
Yes. UK nationals can purchase freely in Spain. The main practical change post-Brexit is that UK buyers are treated as non-EU nationals for residency purposes, though this does not affect the right to buy. You will need an NIE number, a Spanish bank account and, if you intend to spend more than 90 days in any 180-day period, a residency permit. Our team has guided numerous UK buyers through this process and can explain the current requirements clearly.
