Its proximity to the sea, wide range of housing options and large international community have helped cement its reputation as one of the most attractive places to live or own a second home. As a result, the development has evolved into a genuine residential town in its own right.
La Marina residential area in San Fulgencio
The La Marina residential area is located in San Fulgencio, in the Vega Baja del Segura region in the south of Alicante province:
- It is located just a few kilometres from La Marina beach and very close to towns such as Guardamar del Segura, Santa Pola, Elche and Torrevieja. This location allows residents to enjoy a peaceful residential environment without sacrificing excellent connections to some of the Costa Blanca's main tourist destinations.
- Alicante-Elche Airport is just over half an hour away by car, while the N-332 road provides easy access along the entire Alicante coastline. As a result, many owners use their properties as either a primary residence or a second home.
- Furthermore, the development functions almost as a self-contained community within San Fulgencio. It has supermarkets, restaurants, pharmacies, banks, medical centres, shops and leisure facilities, allowing residents to meet most of their daily needs without leaving the area.
Villas, chalets and apartments in La Marina
The property market in La Marina is one of the most diverse on the Costa Blanca:
- In the development you can find everything from detached houses, villas or bungalows to semi-detached houses and flats, catering to both buyers looking for a permanent residence and those who want a second home near the sea.
- Many of the homes have private gardens, terraces, swimming pools or solariums, features especially appreciated due to the Mediterranean climate of the area.
- The plots are usually larger than in other tourist destinations in the province, allowing for greater privacy.
- In recent years, numerous contemporary-style homes have been built, featuring large windows, open spaces and a strong focus on energy efficiency.
La Marina: a residential area that combines beach, lifestyle and high demand
Although it was originally developed with a strong residential focus, La Marina maintains a close connection with tourism:
- Its proximity to some of the Costa Blanca's most highly regarded beaches causes the population to increase significantly each summer as both domestic and international visitors arrive in the area.
- One of the area's main attractions is La Marina Beach, a long stretch of sand surrounded by an extensive protected dune system and pine forest. This natural setting has helped preserve a landscape that differs markedly from other parts of the Alicante coast, where development often extends right up to the shoreline.
- Unlike many other holiday destinations, La Marina has a substantial year-round population, supporting commercial activity and the provision of services throughout the year.
