Punta Prima: beachfront living, family atmosphere and a strong market
By Bennecke Real Estate ·
Punta Prima is one of the areas of Orihuela Costa where the beach literally shapes daily life: many buildings sit less than 200 metres from the sand, and that closeness shows both in the atmosphere and in prices. Bennecke has been managing transactions here since 1988, and this guide explains why Punta Prima remains one of the most sought-after areas on the coast.
What defines Punta Prima
Punta Prima combines an urban beach, a well-kept seafront promenade and a shopping offer concentrated in a few streets, making it especially convenient for those who don't want to depend on a car day to day.
- Fine-sand blue-flag beach with adapted access, highly valued by families with young children.
- Pedestrian promenade connecting to La Zenia in just 15-20 minutes on foot.
- Concentration of restaurants, terraces and local shops along the development's central axis.
- Direct proximity to the Zenia Boulevard shopping centre, under 10 minutes by car.
Who lives in Punta Prima
The residential profile combines permanent residents with owners who use the property as a seasonal second home, keeping the area lively year-round.
- British and Scandinavian families living here year-round, drawn by safety and beach proximity.
- Belgian and Dutch second-home owners, with long stays in spring and autumn.
- Retirees who value the accessibility of the promenade and step-free living.
Services in Punta Prima
Despite its relatively contained size, the area has a very complete range of everyday services.
- Chain supermarkets and local shops within a few minutes' walk.
- A wide range of international dining, with a strong presence of British and Scandinavian cuisine.
- A health centre in Playa Flamenca under 10 minutes by car.
- International schools in Campoamor and La Zenia a short distance away.
The predominant property type
Supply is mostly concentrated in low-rise apartments and some townhouses on the inner streets, with very little new-build available since the area is practically built out.
| Area | Predominant property type |
|---|---|
| Beach front line | Apartments in 3-5 storey blocks |
| Inner streets | Bungalows and townhouses with gardens |
| Area bordering La Zenia | More recently built apartments |
