Hotels in Moraira

The centre and l'Ampolla beach

Moraira village clusters around its castle, a coastal fortress next to l'Ampolla beach, the largest and sandy. The streets of the centre have shops, restaurants and terraces, and everything is within walking distance. It is the choice for anyone who wants beach and promenade without depending on the car. At night the promenade and the streets down to the sea have terraces open until late in season.

Best-rated in this area: La Sort Boutique Hotel, with a score of 9.1 from 220 reviews.

The harbour and l'Andragó cove

The marina and the fishing boats give the village its seafaring character. Next to it, l'Andragó cove has calm water and a walkway along the rocks. It is an area with fish restaurants and low-key nightlife, a few steps from the centre. It is also a good spot for sailors and anyone wanting water sports.

El Portet and Cap d'Or

To the north, El Portet is a small bay with a sandy beach and clear water, surrounded by houses and a few restaurants. From here the path climbs to the Cap d'Or tower, with views along the coast towards Calpe and the Peñón de Ifach. It appeals to couples and anyone looking for a more sheltered swim. The centre is a walk away, although with some slopes.

Hillside villas

Much of Moraira's accommodation is villas and apartments spread across developments among the pines, on the slopes running down to the sea. They have gardens, pools and views, and suit families or groups. Here a car is essential, both to get down to the beach and to go to Teulada, the inland town Moraira belongs to. The reward is peace and quiet and sea views from the terrace.
