Playa del Cura is one of the most popular and recognised beaches in Torrevieja, located on the southern coast of Alicante. This charming seaside area combines Mediterranean history, modern services and an exceptional quality of life, making it a favourite destination for both residents and international property buyers.
Over the years, Playa del Cura has changed from a traditional coastal area into one of the most attractive locations on the Costa Blanca. Today, it offers everything needed to enjoy life by the sea: a beautiful promenade, restaurants, cafés, shops and a relaxed atmosphere all year round.
Thanks to its excellent location close to Orihuela Costa, many buyers looking for a property in Spain choose this area for a holiday home, permanent residence or real estate investment.
At Rosa Mediterranean Houses, specialists in properties in Torrevieja and Orihuela Costa since 1989, we help international clients find their ideal home, from modern apartments and beachfront properties to bungalows, villas and new build homes.
The name Playa del Cura has its origins in a local story from the 19th century. According to tradition, a priest from Torrevieja tragically lost his life while bathing in this area, and over time the beach became known by the name that remains today.
Although its name comes from an old historical event, modern Playa del Cura represents something very different: sunshine, relaxation, Mediterranean lifestyle and unforgettable moments by the sea.
Today, this beach is one of the most appreciated areas of Torrevieja for people searching for a home close to the Mediterranean and within easy reach of Orihuela Costa.
Located in the centre of Torrevieja, Playa del Cura offers a perfect combination of comfort and seaside living. Its calm waters, golden sand and family-friendly environment make it suitable throughout the entire year.
The area provides excellent facilities including adapted beach access, showers, lifeguard services and leisure areas. The promenade is a popular meeting point where visitors can enjoy Spanish cuisine, sea views and beautiful sunsets.
For many international buyers, Playa del Cura is the perfect place to purchase a property because daily services, restaurants and the beach are all within walking distance.
