Villamartín – Golf, Community & Relaxed Costa Blanca Living
Villamartín is one of Costa Blanca's most popular residential and leisure areas, celebrated for its champion golf course, vibrant community, and sunny, warm lifestyle. Situated a short distance inland from the coast at Orihuela Costa, it offers the perfect blend of peaceful living, excellent amenities, and quick access to the sea. With a large international community and a friendly, cosmopolitan atmosphere, Villamartín is a year-round destination for golfers, retirees, families, and second-home purchasers.
Here at Serneholt Estate, we believe that Villamartín represents the perfect base for individuals who want to enjoy everything the Costa Blanca has to offer but without the constant hustle and bustle of the most sought-after seacoast resorts.
Location & Lifestyle: Where Is Villamartín?
Villamartín is just a few kilometres from Orihuela Costa beaches and within 50 minutes' drive of Alicante Airport. The location offers the perfect balance: quiet, well-maintained residential neighbourhoods with tree-lined streets, but within a short drive or bike ride to the golden beaches of Playa Flamenca, La Zenia, and Cabo Roig. The district revolves around its world-famous golf course and lively central plaza, where cafés, restaurants, and boutiques surround a sunny plaza.
Life here is a relaxed Mediterranean tempo, with slow breakfasts on the veranda, golf in the afternoons, and nice evenings out dining international or socialising in the local pubs. The high expat population makes it easy to get to know people, but Spanish culture is an intrinsic part of daily life.
Food: International Choice with Spanish Flavor
The restaurant culture in Villamartín is exquisitely diverse. The Villamartín Plaza is the heart of the town, offering everything from local tapas and seafood to Indian curries, Italian pizzas, and British pub meals. There are upscale bistros for special occasions and quaint cafes for regular get‑togethers. Neighboring coast resorts and towns expand the possibilities, with seafood restaurants just minutes' walk from the center.
Shopping: Close‑By and Convenient
Villamartín has all the shops needed for day-to-day living like supermarkets, bakeries, and local independent stores. Large retailing is within easy driving distance, most notably the Zenia Boulevard, the area's largest shopping centre, including fashion brands, home furnishings, restaurants, and nightlife. Fresh produce, clothes, and domestic goods are on sale every week in the local Orihuela Costa towns at weekly markets.

Healthcare: Good Local Access
There is easy access to health services, with medical clinics and dental clinics in easy reach. For more specialized or hospital care, both Torrevieja and Orihuela Costa have well-equipped hospitals offering public and private treatments. Multilingual medical doctors and professionals mean that international residents can easily locate quality care without any language difficulties.
Education: Local and International Options
Villamartín is perfectly suited for families, with Spanish state schools and highly regarded international schools in easy reach. El Limonar International School, a British‑based curriculum school, is within easy walking distance in Villamartín itself, with other international and bilingual schools in the wider Orihuela Costa area providing further choice. Nurseries, after‑school clubs, and sporting programs offer a caring environment for children.
Sports & Outdoor Living: A Golfer's Paradise and More
Villamartín is golfers' heaven, with its own championship course in the heart of the resort and a number of others—Las Ramblas, Campoamor, and Las Colinas—at only a few minutes' driving distance. Away from golf, the resort includes tennis and padel clubs, gyms, and fitness studios, as well as cycling and walking trails through the surrounding countryside. There is sailing, paddleboarding, and swimming in the Orihuela Costa beaches, so active outdoor life can be an everyday experience.

Family Life: Social, Multicultural & Safe
Safe neighborhoods, nice neighbors, and lots of activities, Villamartín is the ideal spot for families to enjoy a community-driven lifestyle. The international population's diversity brings a feeling of welcome where newcomers are quickly living as if they are natives. Gated complexes are most common with most of them located in shared pools and gardens that encourage children to play and families to have a relaxed social atmosphere.
