Campoamor: golf, tranquillity and life in southern Orihuela Costa
By Bennecke Real Estate ·
Campoamor is the southernmost part of Orihuela Costa before entering the municipality of Pilar de la Horadada, and it has a different character from the rest of the coast: fewer apartment blocks, more villas with plots, and a golf course, Las Ramblas, that shapes daily life for many residents. In our experience with buyers and sellers here since 1988, people who choose Campoamor are explicitly looking to move away from the more urban feel of Torrevieja or La Zenia without giving up being a ten-minute drive from either.
What sets Campoamor apart from the rest of Orihuela Costa
Campoamor doesn't have the built-up seafront that characterises Cabo Roig or Punta Prima. Instead, the landscape combines pine woods, the golf course and low-density developments with plots ranging from 400 to 1,000 m². This translates into a different type of buyer and a different way of life.
- Detached and semi-detached villas dominate, unlike areas such as La Zenia where apartments prevail.
- Social life revolves around the golf club, with regular tournaments and a restaurant that acts as a meeting point.
- Campoamor's beaches, including Aguamarina beach, see less foot traffic than beaches further north, even in August.
- Access to the AP-7 motorway is under five minutes away, making trips to Murcia or Alicante airport easier.
Prices in Campoamor in 2026
The Campoamor market moves in different ranges than apartment-focused areas, because the dominant supply here is homes with plots.
| Property type | Average price €/m² | Total price range |
|---|---|---|
| Townhouse with garden, 2-3 bedrooms | €2,000 - 2,400/m² | €190,000 - 260,000 |
| Detached villa in golf development | €2,100 - 2,600/m² | €320,000 - 480,000 |
| Luxury villa with large plot | €2,300 - 2,900/m² | €550,000 - 900,000 |
| 2-bedroom apartment (limited supply) | €2,000 - 2,300/m² | €150,000 - 190,000 |
The apartment supply in Campoamor is limited compared to the rest of Orihuela Costa, which keeps prices for this property type steady even when momentary demand is low.
Golf as a pricing factor
Properties with direct views of the Las Ramblas golf course typically fetch 10% to 20% more than equivalent homes without that view, especially among British and Scandinavian buyers who play golf regularly. This premium stays stable even during periods of lower overall demand along the coast.
Who lives in and who buys in Campoamor
Campoamor's resident profile tends to skew older than areas like Playa Flamenca, with a high proportion of British, German and Scandinavian retirees looking for year-round tranquillity, not just a summer base. This has practical consequences for anyone buying or selling here.
- Holiday rental demand is lower than in beach areas, so Campoamor isn't the first choice for anyone seeking short-term rental yield.
- Demand for permanent or long-stay residence purchases is steadier throughout the year, with less seasonality than other areas.
- The average buyer usually has more prior experience of the coast: this is not their first visit to Spain, but someone who already knows the area and has decided to settle in a more residential environment.
Services and daily life in Campoamor
Campoamor doesn't have the same volume of shops and restaurants as La Zenia or Cabo Roig, but it covers the essentials: supermarkets, a pharmacy, a handful of restaurants and the golf club itself. For wider shopping, La Zenia Boulevard is about 10-15 minutes away by car, which most residents consider a reasonable trade-off for the area's tranquillity.
Differences in the sales process
Selling in Campoamor requires highlighting different aspects than what works in beach areas. Buyers here place more value on the privacy of the plot, the state of the garden, the orientation relative to the golf course and soundproofing from neighbouring homes than on proximity to the sea itself. Photos focused only on the pool or distant sea views tend to perform worse than those showing the garden, the relationship with the golf surroundings and outdoor spaces.
