La Zenia, beach paradise in Orihuela Costa

La Zenia

The peaceful, lively town of La Zenia, found on the Costa Blanca. It is a very popular destination among English-speaking residents, due to its international reputation. Its biggest appeal has to be the shopping centre ‘La Zenia Boulevard’. You’ll get no less than 150 shops, spread out over a hundred and sixty thousand square metres of retail heaven. There are plenty of restaurants and bars, like well-known Irish pub Paddy’s. It won’t be hard to find proper English breakfasts here. To top it off there’s La Zenia Beach, where you can catch an amazing Orihuela Costa sunset while being surrounded by clear seas with all services you could wish for. La Zenia is a true coastal paradise.

It is well accessible from the national road N-332. La Zenia is surrounded by neighbouring towns Punta Prima, Cabo Roig and Villamartin. Its location plus good infrastructure has caused it to be a successful tourist destination.

What services does La Zenia provide?

La Zenia provides everything you could wish for. It has one of Costa Blanca’s best beaches: Cala Cerrada and La Zenia Beach. These golden stretches have been awarded blue flags, meaning they’re clean and safe. These beaches are accessible for the elderly, families with children and people with reduced mobility. You can rent sun chairs and umbrellas for low fees. Furthermore, there is a red cross first aid place, public toilets, along with volleyball courts to ensure your relaxing day on the beach. For action seekers, there are wide varieties of water sports available.

We recommend Browns Cocktail and Gastro bar for good price/quality dinners, or restaurant De Bassus if you’re looking for a fine selection of beers. Also in La Zenia Boulevard, you’ll find plenty of eating facilities, like Fosters Hollywood for great burgers. You’ll be surprised about how little it costs to have a great time here.

Then there is earlier said ‘La Zenia Boulevard’ shopping centre. It's the biggest one in Alicante. It offers all popular clothing and shoe stores, but also furniture stores and even hypermarkets Leroy Merlin as well as Media Markt. We can’t possibly name the entire selection, but we will give extra attention to the bowling alley, casino, dry cleaners, hairdresser, and bank. Everything you’re looking for, you’ll find it here.

 What separates this town from other places, is its English-speaking community. It’s perfect for people who don’t speak lots of Spanish, however, wish to enjoy their home town services under the sun.
