About Los Arcos…
Set in the wonderfully relaxing, upmarket urbanisation of San Jaime, our family-friendly Villa is a 5-minute drive from the town of Moraira and sleeps 4-6 people comfortably. Los Arcos is perfect for family holidays or couples alike. The apartment bedroom (Bedroom 3) is accessed off the terrace, making it ideal for teenagers or couples wanting a little more independence.
Outside…
Los Arcos enjoys a peaceful and secluded setting, with far reaching views over the distant hills. Sitting in a large private 1100sqm plot, it is surrounded by mature gardens consisting of several landscaped areas to the front and sides of the villa. It is planted with orange, lemon and olive trees, mature palm trees and bougainvilleas, which give a distinctive Mediterranean feel to the garden. Beautifully illuminated at night by a range of coloured spotlights, it adds a little magic to the evenings during your wonderful Spanish holiday.
The main terrace contains the 8m by 4m pool (which can be heated for an additional €200 during cooler months), the outside naya, the summer kitchen with BBQ, dining table and chairs – all with wonderful panoramic views. The pool can be lit at night, making it ideal for an evening swim. There is a CD player with a range of CDs in the summer kitchen, to help create special holiday memories on the terrace, dancing the night away under the stars!
A two-person hot tub is situated in a delightful turret next to the summer kitchen. Perfect for relaxing after a hard day sunbathing! Beyond the hot tub is a newly fitted cloakroom with a toilet and sink, ideal for use while you’re outside. In here you’ll also find a selection of pool toys/floats. Grab the deckchairs and cooler box and head to the beach – if you can manage to tear yourself away from the terrace!
Inside…

There are beach bars, children's play areas, a large inflatable play area in the sea and there is free beach side parking. El Portet beach with its calm turquoise shallow water and golden sand is perfect for a day at the seaside.
For those travelling without children, Moraira is the perfect civilised adult getaway! There are many beautiful quiet beaches and coves along the coastline to discover. A stunning marina is home to Club Nautico – perfect for early evening cocktails. In the town, along the coast road and within the area’s hidden coves there are a large variety of restaurants and bars to cater for every taste and budget - whether it's for a relaxing lunch, pre-dinner drink or special evening meal. As the sun goes down, relax in one of the many cafe bars and watch the sea and stunning views along the coastline towards Calpe.
For those into their cycling, the area is a favourite for winter training with professional cycling teams. La Vuelta pro road cycling race regularly passes through Moraira.
For those into their golf, Ifach Golf course is no more than a five minute stroll or a nine-iron away from Los Arcos. It’s a warm and welcoming course with a well recommended adjacent restaurant complete with its own private pool for relaxing.

Moraira is now one of the most exclusive and pleasant places to stay whilst on holiday on the Costa Blanca. It has all the charms of a small picturesque fishing town nestled between mountains and vineyards, and at the same time has grown to offer everything to those that stay here. The streets are a mix of quaint cobbled narrow alleys and modern avenues lined with palm trees and fountains.
For those wishing to explore further, the beautiful village of Altea is around a 30 minute drive along the coast and the incredible, buzzing city of Valencia is just over an hour away.
