Right on the outskirts of Moraira’s heart, this villa is just far enough away from the bustle that there’s a quieter way of life, but not far enough from the town that a quick supply run would feel impossible. In fact, the town centre can even be reached on foot, the route taking you through and past vineyards for a scenic morning walk. Whilst out, we suggest stopping off at a cafe to stock up on pastries, but not before visiting the 18th-century stone fortress and port.

On sunshine days, spend every possible second enjoying the metaphorical cherry on the cake, by taking full advantage of all the outdoor space has to offer. Sunbathe to your favourite playlist and wade into the cool water of the private pool to cool back down again. Sit in the shade, sharing wine and company as you nibble on leftover tapas.

After sunset, you might move inside, but we don’t blame you if you choose to spend evening after evening staring up at the sparkling night sky. Enjoy a glass of whiskey with a game of pool or sit curled up next to the fire with a good book. Come together in the living space to watch a movie and treat yourself to a luxurious bath before bed.
