La Zenia – Golden Beaches, Shopping Energy & Coastal Convenience
La Zenia is one of the most active and popular resorts on the Orihuela Costa, with golden beaches flanked by an exciting social scene and top-class shopping. With its mix of residential streets, chic seaside restaurants and bars, and bustling Zenia Boulevard shopping centre, it offers a lifestyle where the Mediterranean stays within easy reach, and the amenities you require are never out of reach.
At Serneholt Estate, we see La Zenia as the ultimate choice for those who want to combine the fun of a holiday atmosphere with the comfort and convenience of year‑round living.
Location & Lifestyle: Where Is La Zenia?
Perfectly positioned between Playa Flamenca and Cabo Roig, La Zenia lies just 45 minutes from Alicante Airport and around 50 minutes from Murcia International Airport. Its location in the middle ensures that it is the ideal site from which to explore the beaches, golf courses, and seaside villages of the Orihuela Costa. The long sandy beach, edged by a promenade and dotted with beach bars, is right in the center of the community, where one strolls, swims, unwinds, and basks in Mediterranean living.
Life here goes to the rhythm of the sea. Most days begin with a morning coffee high over the waves, afternoons spent browsing boutiques on Zenia Boulevard, and evenings dining with friends in one of the many restaurants nearby. The area is international in its population of residents and workers so it's easy to settle in and become at home.

Dining: Mediterranean Charm & Global Choice
Dining out in La Zenia offers something for everyone's taste and occasion. Beachside chiringuitos rid themselves of merely grilled fish, seafood paella, and cold sangria in the sun, but restaurants further inland provide a mix of Spanish tapas, Italian pasta, Asian fusion, and current European cuisine. Whether enjoying a relaxed lunch along the promenade or a night out with friends, the atmosphere is always relaxed and sociable.

Shopping: From Boutiques to Zenia Boulevard
La Zenia has Zenia Boulevard, a province-sized shopping centre containing over 150 shops, international high-street fashion brands, homeware stores, and a vast selection of restaurants and entertainment. In addition to this shopping centre, there are local supermarkets, smaller independent stores, and convenience stores throughout the area, and regular markets in the local towns for fresh produce and homemade items.
Healthcare: Reliable & Accessible
Residents have easy access to good medical care, with local health centres and pharmacies within walking distance. Public and private facilities, such as Torrevieja University Hospital and Quirónsalud Torrevieja, are larger centres catering to the international population with multilingual assistance.
Education: Local & International Options
Families in La Zenia have the option of Spanish public schools and top-class international schools like El Limonar International School and Newton College. Nurseries, after-school clubs, and language academies can also be easily found, which makes the zone convenient for families moving from overseas.
Sports & Outdoor Living: Sun, Sea & Active Days
The beach is the center of outdoor life in La Zenia, with safe bathing, paddleboard, and coastal walking. Close-by golf courses, including Villamartín, Las Ramblas, and Campoamor, are enjoyed by golfers from everywhere in the area. The nice climate of the Mediterranean makes it easy to play tennis, padel, bicycle, and outdoor gym all year round.
Family Life: Friendly, Sociable & Well‑Serviced
La Zenia is known for its safe, welcoming environment and its lively but relaxed tempo. There are home options available from modern apartments with sea views to villas with pools for families. From parks to shopping to beaches, it is all within walking distance, making it an easy and lovely place to reside.
