By ten in the morning, the sun has already cleared the roofline and the pool is catching it fully. You're up on the solarium with a coffee, looking out over the terracotta rooftops of Villamartin toward the fairways of the golf course, and it occurs to you—not for the first time—that life from up here looks considerably better than it does from most places. That's the daily reality this villa delivers, and it doesn't take long to understand why properties on Pinada Golf 2 move quickly.
Set on a plot of over 400 square metres in one of the most established residential communities on the Costa Blanca South, this detached south-facing villa in Orihuela has been developed to give its owners serious flexibility. Two bedrooms and two bathrooms on the main level. A fully converted underbuild with its own separate entrance, two additional double bedrooms, a kitchen, bathroom, and living space. A rooftop solarium. A private pool. An outdoor bar. A gated driveway with garage. At 109 square metres of main living space—plus the underbuild—this is not a property that runs out of room.
Walk through the front gate and the pool is right there, framed by a generous terrace that gets the sun from mid-morning through the late afternoon. The outdoor bar area makes it easy to understand why Spanish evenings stretch so long. There's a logic to life in this part of Alicante that becomes obvious fast: eat late, stay outside, let the day unwind at its own pace. The covered dining terrace keeps lunch comfortable even in July, when the thermometer in Villamartin routinely hits the mid-30s. From October through to April, though, the Costa Blanca earns its reputation—clear skies, temperatures in the high teens and low 20s, and the kind of winter light that makes northern European buyers feel they've made one of the smarter decisions of their lives.
Inside, the open-plan living and dining area runs across the front of the house, pulling in southern light through the main windows. A ceiling fan keeps things easy during the warm months, and the kitchen—modern, integrated, designed to actually work rather than just look good—connects directly to the living space so whoever's cooking doesn't get cut off from the conversation. The layout is practical without feeling calculated. It just works.
The main bedroom has an en-suite with a walk-in shower. The second bedroom has access to the family bathroom with combined bath and shower on the same level. Both rooms are properly sized—not the narrow afterthoughts you find in some smaller Costa Blanca villas. The whole main level reads as a genuinely comfortable year-round home, not a stripped-down holiday apartment dressed up with a pool.
What sets this property apart from most two-bedroom villas in this price bracket is the underbuild. Fully converted, independently accessed from the driveway, and fitted with its own kitchen, bathroom, living area, and two double bedrooms—it functions as a self-contained apartment. The uses here are significant. Bring extended family and everyone has their own space and their own entrance. Use the main villa personally and rent the underbuild independently. Or run both levels as a single holiday rental unit and push occupancy and income considerably higher than a standard two-bedroom would allow. For international buyers thinking seriously about rental returns, this dual-unit configuration is worth paying close attention to.
The rooftop solarium ties it all together. Enough space for sun loungers, a small dining table, a few potted plants if you want them—and that view across the golf course and surrounding hills that you noticed on arrival. It's the kind of space that gets used every single day between March and November.
Villamartin Plaza is a short walk away. The square is anchored by a mix of bars, restaurants, and shops that cater to an international crowd—British, Dutch, German, Scandinavian—without losing the functional everyday quality that makes it genuinely useful rather than just touristy. Grab breakfast at one of the terrace cafes, pick up groceries at the supermarket, catch a live football match at any one of the surrounding bars on a Saturday. The Villamartin Golf Course is essentially on the doorstep, one of several courses within easy driving distance including Campoamor and Las Ramblas. The Costa Blanca South is, without exaggeration, one of the most golf-dense coastal regions in Europe.
La Zenia Boulevard—the largest open-air shopping centre in the Alicante province—is about ten minutes by car. The beaches at Cabo Roig, Campoamor, and Playa Flamenca are all within fifteen minutes. Alicante-Elche Airport is roughly 45 minutes north on the AP-7, while Murcia International Airport sits around 30 minutes to the south, making this location unusually well-served for direct flights from across northern Europe.
The property is in good condition and ready to move into—or rent out—without any significant works required. For buyers navigating the Spanish purchase process from abroad, it's worth knowing that Orihuela municipality is well-trodden territory for international purchasers. Lawyers, gestorias, and currency specialists who specialise in this exact transaction type are readily available locally. The NIE (foreigner identification number) process is straightforward, and the notarial purchase system in Spain provides strong legal protection for buyers. Non-resident owners should factor in the annual non-resident income tax declaration, which is standard and easily managed through a local gestor for a modest annual fee.
