Living Long-Term in Moraira

Moraira attracts long-term tenants who value peace, quality and a small-town atmosphere in an upmarket setting. The village has a Mercadona, pharmacies, banks and a selection of restaurants, but it remains genuinely compact — ideal for those who prefer a quiet life. A car is useful for larger shopping trips to Calpe or Benidorm.

Monthly rents reflect the premium location, with two-bedroom apartments starting from around 850 euros and villas considerably more. Healthcare is accessible via the Dénia hospital (25 minutes) and a local health centre. International schools are in Jávea and Benidorm. The expat community is well-established, predominantly British and German, with several social clubs.

About Moraira

Moraira (officially Teulada-Moraira) is an exclusive, low-rise coastal village that has carefully maintained its Mediterranean charm while becoming one of the most sought-after addresses on the Costa Blanca. There are no high-rises here — local planning regulations ensure the skyline remains dominated by pine-covered hills and terracotta rooftops.

The heart of Moraira centres around a pretty harbour with a 16th-century watchtower. The harbour hosts a small fleet of fishing boats alongside pleasure craft, and the daily fish auction still takes place every afternoon.

What sets Moraira apart is its deliberate commitment to quality over quantity. The residential areas are dominated by elegant villas with private pools, many perched on hillsides with sweeping panoramic sea views.
