Established in 2003, this local company has built a strong reputation as one of the most experienced and trusted estate agents in Orihuela Costa, representing the interests of hundreds of clients over the years.

With properties in popular locations such as La Zenia, Playa Flamenca, Cabo Roig, Punta Prima, Campoamor, and Villamartin, the estate agency maintains a portfolio of around 1,000 new build and resale homes in the South Costa Blanca region.

But unlike high-volume agencies or exclusively online companies, Inmo Investments combines a family-run, client-focused approach with in-depth knowledge of local property trends, pricing strategy, and evolving buyer demand.

A local estate agent with established offices in La Zenia

With its centrally located office in La Zenia and a strong presence across Orihuela Costa, Inmo Investments positions itself as a leading choice for property owners seeking a secure, professionally managed and results-driven sale in the competitive Costa Blanca market.

Sellers benefit from a full-service sales process that includes accurate property valuations, professional marketing, international buyer reach, legal coordination, and comprehensive after-sales assistance.

Supporting this global approach is one of the company's greatest strengths: its multilingual team. Inmo Investments is uniquely positioned to work with an international client base, thanks to its native-speaking staff members who are fluent in Spanish, English, German, Dutch, Swedish, and French.

This means buyers and sellers can communicate clearly and confidently in their own language, removing barriers and creating a smoother, more reassuring transaction from the very first point of contact.

A proven track record in Costa Blanca real estate

Just last year, the team represented the interests of buyers from 21 different nationalities, including house hunters from Ukraine, Lithuania, Czechia, Norway, and Switzerland, in addition to domestic Spanish buyers.

For property owners looking to sell in Orihuela Costa, this international capability is a major competitive advantage, and Inmo Investments is not limited to one market or a single nationality of buyer. The company actively attracts purchasers from the UK and mainland Europe, while also expanding its reach into new and emerging global buyer segments.

By blending their market experience with a multilingual service and global buyer outreach, this unique local team provides vendors with a truly modern, results-driven estate agency experience, ensuring every property is marketed professionally, internationally, and with the highest level of support.

Furthermore, as a registered real estate agent in the Valencian Community, the company offers vendors additional peace of mind, regulatory compliance, an insured service, and total transparency.

Inmo Investments, a local company that speaks your language

Property owners considering selling in today's market can benefit from the estate agency's combination of local knowledge, extensive marketing reach, and a comprehensive service.

Whether you are selling a modest holiday apartment, an investment property, or an opulent luxury villa, Inmo Investments provides the tools, support and experience needed to secure a fast, smooth, and profitable sale – without the stress.

Perhaps we're biased, but we believe that La Zenia is one of the best areas to own a home – not just in Spain, but in the whole of Europe and perhaps even the entire world.

After all, we decided to live here, and when it comes to affordability, accessibility, overall safety, and quality of local services, as a country, Spain is hard to beat.

Your alternatives? There's no doubting that France is a patently beautiful country but with its more northerly latitude, it can't hold a candle to the fabulous weather you'll find here on the Orihuela Costa.

Florida in the USA offers typically large family homes that provide unbelievable value, but with a median flight time of comfortably under three hours, Spain is undeniably more immediately accessible.

You're unlikely to look forward to a weekend away in Orlando quite the same way you would do in Orihuela Costa, with jet lag, high flight costs, and a nine-hour flight time ahead of you.

The Orihuela Costa is just so much closer to home, and La Zenia property offers outstanding value. So let's take a look at what you'll need to know about La Zenia before you start your search for a home here.

Location, location, location. Where is La Zenia?

La Zenia is an urbanisation located on the eastern coastline of the Mediterranean Sea, in the southernmost quarter of the Alicante province, and 8 km's south of the port city of Torrevieja.

The area is exceptionally popular during the height of the summer season as a respected holiday destination for tourists, attracted by the quality of the beaches and the abundance of quality facilities.

Less than two thousand registered residents live in La Zenia, but that number belies the popularity of the locality, as tourists and seasonal visitors can multiply that figure six-fold throughout the summer months.

Occupying just 1.9 km² of premium beachfront real estate, La Zenia might be considered small, but the community packs plenty of quality into a seemingly diminutive space.

The locality is compact and bordered by Playa Flamenca to the north, the beach district of Cabo Roig to the south, and Los Dolses inland to the west.

Exceptionally well connected, the main N-332 coast road runs north to south through La Zenia, with easy access to the AP-7 motorway which runs in parallel to the coast offering toll-free access south toward Murcia, or a faster toll route northward to Alicante and beyond.

La Zenia is well-served by two international airports, with Alicante airport less than an hour away to the north, and the newly opened Corvera Región de Murcia airport approximately 45 minutes away by car.

The best place to buy a property on the Costa Blanca

La Zenia took off as a holiday destination following the opening of the neighbouring Villamartin Golf Club in 1972. Development of the local area began shortly thereafter, and the Servigroup La Zenia hotel was built on a rocky outcrop that separates the two sandy beaches in 1974.

The Orihuela Costa Resort hotel followed suit in 1979 and occupies a sizeable chunk of beachfront real estate, today offering tennis courts, a large outdoor swimming pool, and informal accommodation set inside spacious private gardens.

The Zenia Boulevard shopping centre opened in 2012 and brought much-needed world-class shopping facilities to the local area. The largest mall in the Alicante province offers 150 stores, a selection of casual and fine dining outlets, and free parking for more than 5,000 vehicles.

The area is characterised by a low-lying relatively flat topography typical of most Mediterranean beachfront locations, and benefits from its immediate proximity to the sea, providing cool onshore breezes during the summer and temperate generally dry winters.

La Zenia benefits from a healthy Mediterranean micro-climate, characterised by low annual rainfall, and an average of 320 days of sunshine each year with a median annual temperature of 19.3°c.

Long warm summers and short mild dry winters are emblematic of this part of the Costa Blanca, and visitors to the area from June through to September can regularly expect temperatures to vary between 25°c at night to 35°c during the day.

The proximity to Torrevieja's salt lakes to the north and the absence of heavy industry in the area contribute to a particularly clean environment and excellent air quality.

Hundreds of bars and restaurants to sample in La Zenia

What La Zenia lacks in size is more than compensated for by a wide variety of amenities and excellent public transport links that connect the community with adjacent towns and cities, including regular services to Torrevieja to the north.

La Zenia possesses two beautiful beaches replete with white sands and Spanish chiringuito beach bars. Both beaches receive Blue Flag accreditation year on year, recognised for their high standards of maintenance and flawlessly clean Mediterranean waters.

La Zenia's main beach, Cala Bosque, offers more than 27,000 m² of pristine sands and La Zenia's smaller beach, Cala Cerrada, offers additional capacity with a wide fine sandy cove-shaped beach that measures 167 m at the waterline.

World-class fine dining restaurants rub shoulders with baroque cafés and intimate eateries, and La Zenia´s gastronomic community offers a veritable choice of dining experiences encompassing the complete spectrum of international cuisine.

La Zenia is also home to Zenia Boulevard shopping centre. A commercial sanctuary for hardcore consumers and casual window-shoppers alike, La Zenia Boulevard boasts a spectacular 161,000 m² of retail heaven.

And for those looking for peace, tranquillity, and open green spaces, three 18-hole championship golf courses are on the doorstep, with Villamartin, Las Ramblas, and Real Club de Campoamor resort all less than 15 minutes away by car.

Public Wi-Fi is widely available at most bars and restaurants, and super-fast fibre-optic broadband services offering data transfer speeds over 100MB are available in the vast majority of residential areas.

La Zenia property, a wide choice of apartments and villas

When it comes to La Zenia property, beachfront homes east of the N-332 coast road tend to be large detached villas – single or two-storey properties on medium-sized private plots that command premium prices.

Newer-style properties in La Zenia constructed further inland are inevitably built on smaller plots. Newer properties typically require less maintenance and are built to modern building standards.

With a few notable exceptions communities of apartments in La Zenia tend to be low-rise, and the area offers a wide selection of affordable townhouses, apartments, and modest detached villas.

One important point of note for potential overseas La Zenia property buyers is that with only a few undeveloped building plots remaining in the urbanisation, within just a few years it simply won't be possible to build new homes in La Zenia.

It has been said that La Zenia is home to people of more than 100 different nationalities, and international residents outnumber the indigenous Spanish population, with a multicultural mix of North European expatriates settled within the community.

Of course, La Zenia can be busy in the summer months, but those of us who live here consider this a small price worth paying to enjoy the wealth of quality year-round amenities and the sheer natural allure the area has to offer.

La Zenia will suit property buyers who value quality services, who desire a great choice of shops and restaurants, and buyers that want to be as close to a beach as they might be able to afford. You'll find a fantastic selection of beautiful homes in La Zenia on the Inmo Investments website.

• Where are the main transportation facilities, airport and railway stations?
• Which are the biggest cities, and how many inhabitants do they have?
• Where are the UNESCO heritage sites?
• Where are the top places to spend your holidays? The best beaches, shopping malls and retail outlets, traditional and street markets, the top golf courses and natural parks?
• If you are looking to study there, where will you find the best universities?
• Last but not least, it's always good to know where the Hospitals are.

Now that you know the region, it will be easier to move further and study the location criteria you should have in mind while searching for your Spanish dream home. And of course, your ideal location is the one you will love, never forget that. In this article, you will only find practical tips to make sure you don't forget anything.

List your objectives

To be efficient in your property search, don’t hesitate to list your objectives.

Sea view?

90% of overseas property buyers looking to buy in Spain want proximity to the sea. Unsurprisingly, the Costa Blanca, the Costa del Sol and the Spanish islands are top of the list of places to search for a property in Spain. Let's enjoy tapas on the beach.

Your budget

Depending on your budget there are certain locations available or out of reach. So it's important to calculate your budget before you start your search. Knowing if you are searching in an expensive or cheaper region will help you to define your budget. Here is a good place to check Spanish property prices.

On a tight budget?

The good news is that property prices in Spain are not expensive and the Costa Blanca is not too expensive either. If your budget remains small for your area, our advice is to search further in the countryside, you'll decrease your budget by at least 20% if you are not searching in a major city.

If you want to read more on that subject, have a quick look at our article covering the real estate activity of foreigners in Spain.

Before looking at the top criteria for your Spanish property location, check the weather statistics for the location of your future Spanish property.

Always check the cost of living in your future city

We wrote a detailed article on the cost of living in Spain. In this article, you can compare the cost of living in any Spanish city with your current city anywhere in the world or with any other Spanish city.

What do you want to use your property for?

The first question you should have in mind is what will be the function of your property on the Costa Blanca? We can differentiate between three main purposes:

• A holiday home or second home abroad
• A primary residence if you want to relocate to, or retire in Spain
• An investment property

Each of those functions will mean very different objectives and specific search criteria.

Location criteria for your Spanish holiday home

Holiday home capacity (the number of bedrooms) is always one of the first ways to start. Proximity to the airport and travel time from your home country are other criteria.

Here is our list of search criteria important for your second home:

• Distance to the beach
• Distance to the airport
• How many flights are available to the airport?
• Travel time from your home country
• Check transport facilities
• Proximity to tourist attractions and sightseeing places
• Distance from the best beaches
• Distance to shopping malls, shops, and retail outlets
• Distance to traditional and street markets
• Hospitals and care facilities
• Distance to recreational and family activities
• Plan to rent your property? Check if it is legal to rent your home

If you are not buying for a second home, your criteria may be different, check those by following the links:

• Location criteria for your Spanish first home
• Location criteria for your investment property

Your property on the Costa Blanca and the weather

This is of course the first reason why people buy a property on the Costa Blanca. Checking weather statistics for the full year is important. Another good piece of advice is to check the weather statistics for the months when you intend to go there.

Yes, it is obvious, but many think “It is warm in the winter”. That is not the case everywhere in Spain. If you want a warm winter, you have only one perfect place in Spain: the Canary Islands.

Have a quick look at the infographics on our website with the monthly weather statistics for Alicante. You will find details available for each month:

• Average, minimum, and maximum daily temperatures (°c)
• Sea temperatures (°c)
  Daily and monthly average rainfall (mm)
• Average relative humidity (%)
• Number of rainfall days equal or greater to 1 mm, and the number of snow days
• Number of stormy days
• Number of foggy days
• Number of frosty days
• The monthly average number of cloudless days
• Hours of sunshine per day and month
