About Torre de la Horadada
Torre de la Horadada is a compact coastal village at the southernmost point of Costa Blanca, administratively part of Pilar de la Horadada municipality and separated from Murcia region by only a few kilometres. Built around a functioning small port and a pedestrianised seafront promenade, the village retains a noticeably higher proportion of Spanish residents than fully internationalised resorts further north — a quality that shapes both its character and its property market. The climate mirrors the rest of Costa Blanca Sur: mild winters, long dry summers, and reliable sunshine well into autumn, which supports a growing shoulder-season rental market alongside the core July–August peak.
Buyers here skew toward British, Belgian, and Dutch nationals seeking a permanent base or a long-hold holiday property, often drawn by the village's walkable scale, established local commerce, and lower entry prices than Torrevieja or Orihuela Costa. Alicante–Elche Airport (ALC) is approximately 55 km north via the AP-7, reachable in under 45 minutes. Murcia International Airport (MJV) lies roughly 45 km south and is frequently the more convenient option for UK arrivals. The market town of Pilar de la Horadada, 3 km inland, covers day-to-day needs with supermarkets, a health centre, and secondary schools.
Torre de la Horadada Property Market 2026
Apartments enter the market at around €250,000 and range to €500,000 depending on floor level, size, and proximity to the waterfront. Apartments occupy low-rise blocks of two to four storeys, the majority built from the 1980s onward and increasingly modernised; seafront-facing units and those on upper floors with unobstructed sea views command the upper end of the range. Villas and semi-detached properties trade between €400,000 and €900,000, with premium pricing concentrated on plots within 200 metres of the beach. Plot sizes generally run between 400 m² and 800 m². Townhouses on quiet residential streets offer a mid-range alternative, typically falling between the apartment and villa bands and appealing to buyers who want private outdoor space without full villa maintenance costs.
New-build development remains limited within the village core, which keeps resale supply tight and underpins values relative to comparable villages along Costa Blanca Sur. Compared with neighbouring Mil Palmeras or Lo Romero, Torre de la Horadada commands a modest premium reflecting its port, pedestrianised seafront, and functioning local economy. Gross rental yields typically sit between 4% and 6% annually, supported by consistent summer occupancy and a shoulder-season market that benefits from the village's authentic feel and lower nightly rates than larger nearby resorts. Buyers here tend to prioritise year-round liveability over large-complex amenities, and the market attracts a meaningful share of buyers intending primary or semi-permanent residence rather than pure investment.
Living in Torre de la Horadada
The village and its port
Torre de la Horadada is a compact coastal village at the very southern tip of the Costa Blanca, built around a small working marina and a pedestrianised seafront promenade. Its namesake 16th-century watchtower stands above the shore, and the village keeps a genuine Spanish feel rather than a purpose-built resort character.
Beaches and coves
A run of Blue Flag beaches and sheltered coves lines the front — Playa del Conde and the sandy bays either side of the port — with clear, shallow water and a promenade linking them on foot. The compact scale means the beach, port and village centre are all walkable.
Dining and the promenade
The marina and seafront concentrate the village's seafood and rice restaurants, chiringuitos and bars, busy in summer and open through much of the year for its resident community. It has a low-key, family and local character rather than a nightlife strip.
On the Murcia border
The village sits at the southernmost point of Alicante province, minutes from the Murcia regional boundary, so both Alicante and Murcia services and airports are within reach. Neighbouring Mil Palmeras and the Pilar de la Horadada coast extend the beach options nearby.
An international community
Torre de la Horadada draws a mix of Spanish holidaymakers and international owners — British, Scandinavian and others — with a share living year-round, and local services open beyond the summer season.
Getting around
A car is the practical default; the N-332 and AP-7 connect the coast, with Región de Murcia Airport around half an hour south and Alicante-Elche Airport roughly an hour north. The village core, port and beaches are walkable.
Year-round living and value
Frontline and port-side homes command a premium for the setting, with complexes set back more accessible. The village character and southern-tip position give it a distinct, quieter appeal; homes in community settings carry fees for shared pools and upkeep.
Why Torre de la Horadada?
A modern marina with yacht berths, sailing clubs, and a waterfront dining scene.
Clean, natural beaches that are far less crowded than neighbouring resort towns.
A quiet, safe community perfect for families with children — playgrounds, shallow beaches, and low traffic.
Excellent conditions for kayaking, paddleboarding, sailing, and snorkelling in calm waters.

Common questions about buying property in Torre de la Horadada
At €350,000 you can expect a well-presented two-bedroom apartment within a short walk of the seafront promenade, typically including a communal pool, private parking, and a terrace. Properties at the upper end of that budget occasionally include a ground-floor unit with a private garden or a renovated townhouse in the village centre. Detached villa plots in our current selection begin above this price point.
Retirees are the dominant buyer group, drawn by the walkable village layout, a year-round Spanish community, and proximity to two international airports. Rental investors can achieve solid summer returns, though the village's compact size limits the volume of high-turnover short-let stock available. Families benefit from access to schools in Pilar de la Horadada and a safe, low-traffic seafront environment.
Torrevieja is a full-scale urban centre with over 100,000 registered residents, a large commercial port, and a heavily internationalised property market. Torre de la Horadada has fewer than 5,000 residents, a working fishing harbour, and a noticeably quieter pace year-round. Properties for sale in Torre de la Horadada are generally priced 10–20% lower per square metre than comparable Torrevieja seafront stock in our current selection, though liquidity is also more limited given the smaller transaction volume.
