Moraira is an attractive small resort in the heart of the Costa Blanca. It is 80 kms north of Alicante airport and 110kms south of Valencia airport and just 20 minutes drive from the A7 motorway.It has grown from a fishing village to a small but exclusive year round holiday destination popular with visitors from all over Europe. Although the fishing port is still thriving there is now an impressive marina packed with yachts and a large variety of restaurants bars and shops to satisfy the tastes of visitors and residents alike. Strict planning laws have prevented the building of high rise hotel and apartment blocks which has resulted in Moraira retaining the charm of its fishing village heritage and sets it apart from other Costa Blanca resorts.
The restaurants in Moraira and the surrounding area cater for all tastes. Most are typically Spanish in character serving traditional dishes and superb sea food and most offering excellent value for money. Other restaurants offer a more international cuisine and of course many of the inviting bars serve snacks throughout the day.
Although Moraira is much more than a Spanish beach resort its 2 main sandy beaches are excellent and have been awarded the prestigious EEC Blue Flags for cleanliness. As an alternative there are many rocky coves along the coast offering secluded bathing opportunities in the clear blue waters of the Mediterranean
Moraira enjoys an enviable climate with an average of 325 sunny days each year supporting its claim to be an all year round resort. The World Health Organisation have said that the climate in this part of the Costa Blanca is one of the most equitable in the world.
