Orihuela Costa is not Orihuela city: it is a stretch of seaside resorts
This is the most common point of confusion on this route. Orihuela city is around 25 km inland, while "Orihuela Costa" refers to its entire coastline, a succession of residential areas stretching several kilometres south of Torrevieja. When booking, it is best to provide the name of the development and the street, rather than simply "Orihuela", so you are taken to the right place.
Northern coast
Punta Prima and Playa Flamenca
The first residential areas when travelling from Torrevieja, with Blue Flag beaches, shops and Playa Flamenca's Saturday market.
Central coast
La Zenia and Cabo Roig
The heart of Orihuela Costa, home to some of its best-known coves and Zenia Boulevard, one of the area's largest open-air shopping centres.
Southern coast
Dehesa de Campoamor and golf resorts
Campoamor and its marina, alongside the golf resorts of Villamartín, Las Ramblas, Campoamor and Las Colinas.
How to get from Alicante Airport to Orihuela Costa
Alicante Airport is around 55 km from Orihuela Costa, with a driving time of approximately 45 to 50 minutes. The usual route follows the AP-7 south and leaves at exit 763 (La Zenia / Urbanisations); there is also a toll-free alternative via the A-7 and N-332. Drop-off is at the exact address provided: your villa, apartment or golf resort.
Unlike routes further north, the AP-7 on this section may involve tolls. With a fixed-fare transfer, any toll charges are already included in the price, with nothing extra to pay on arrival.
