Welcome to Moraira: The Hidden Jewel of the Costa Blanca
Moraira, a picturesque coastal town located on the famous Costa Blanca, is a destination that captures your heart from the moment you arrive. Nestled between mountains and the shimmering Mediterranean Sea, this charming town offers a perfect mix of tranquillity, culture, and breathtaking nature. Whether you are looking for a relaxing holiday, a romantic getaway or an adventure full of discovery, Moraira has it all.
An atmosphere of calm and elegance
One of the first things you notice when visiting Moraira is its serene and relaxed atmosphere. Unlike the more touristy destinations along the Costa Blanca, Moraira has retained its authentic Spanish charm. Its small, cobbled streets are lined with whitewashed houses and colourful flowers, while in the air you can smell the scent of fresh seafood and Mediterranean herbs.
Moraira’s marina is another highlight. Here, luxury yachts bob peacefully on the azure water, while you can enjoy a glass of cool sangria and the beautiful view from one of the many terraces. The promenade, dotted with cosy restaurants and boutiques, invites you to leisurely strolls where you will constantly discover new hidden gems.

De Stranden: Paradijs aan de Kust
Moraira is blessed with some of the most beautiful beaches on the Costa Blanca. Playa del Portet is one of the most popular, with its soft golden sand and calm, crystal-clear waters. This small bay, surrounded by green hills, is perfect for a quiet day by the sea. Don’t forget to bring your snorkelling kit, as the marine life here is absolutely worth it!
If you are looking for something more adventurous, Cala Moraig is the place for you. This beautiful cove, hidden among rugged cliffs, can only be reached by a narrow path, but it is well worth the effort. The view from the top of the cliff is breathtaking and down below an azure sea awaits, inviting for a refreshing swim.
Culinary Indulgence
A visit to Moraira would not be complete without enjoying the local cuisine. The restaurants here are known for their fresh fish dishes, often directly from the local fishermen who bring in their catch in the morning. Be sure to try the ‘Caldereta de Langosta’, a rich lobster soup that is a true delicacy.
For those who prefer to taste tapas, Moraira offers plenty of options. From traditional patatas bravas to the more innovative tapas with a modern twist, the culinary scene here is a feast for the senses. Finish your meal with a glass of local wine and enjoy the relaxed atmosphere as the sun slowly sinks into the sea.

Cultural discoveries and natural beauty
Although Moraira may be small, it offers plenty of cultural attractions to explore. Moraira Castle, a historic fortress built in the 18th century to protect the coast from pirates, is a must-see. From here, you have stunning views over the sea and the town.
For nature lovers, a visit to the Peñón de Ifach Natural Park is a great option. This nature reserve, with its iconic limestone rock towering high above the sea, is a paradise for hikers and birdwatchers. The hike to the top offers panoramic views over the Costa Blanca and is an experience you won’t soon forget.

A Perfect Destination for Everyone
Moraira is a destination that lends itself perfectly to every type of traveller. Whether you are looking for a romantic getaway, a family holiday or a solo adventure, this charming town has everything you need to give you an unforgettable time. The combination of breathtaking nature, rich culture, and delicious gastronomy makes Moraira a true gem on the Costa Blanca.
