Campoamor can look like an easy choice when you first compare homes on the Orihuela Costa. The Mediterranean is close, golf courses surround the area and neighbouring Cabo Roig and La Zenia provide plenty of restaurants, shops and services.
The harder question is whether a particular part of Campoamor will work for the way you actually intend to live.
A holiday buyer may prioritise walking distance to Playa de La Glea and a communal pool. Someone relocating permanently may care more about winter sun, storage, parking, supermarkets and access to healthcare. A retiree may want a lift and low-maintenance terrace, while a family may need extra bedrooms and practical access to schools and everyday services.
Campoamor, also known as Dehesa de Campoamor, forms part of Orihuela Costa in Alicante province. Sunshine Homes includes Campoamor within its Orihuela Costa coverage alongside areas such as Cabo Roig, La Zenia, Playa Flamenca and Punta Prima.
This guide looks at what buyers can actually verify in Campoamor in 2026, including its beaches, amenities, nearby communities and examples from the current Sunshine Homes property portfolio.
Why Campoamor Appeals to Overseas Buyers
Campoamor offers a useful middle ground between a beach resort and a residential base.
The coastline is a major attraction, but residents are also close to supermarkets, established shopping areas, golf courses and neighbouring communities that remain active beyond the main summer season.
For buyers who find central La Zenia too active but do not want to move far inland, Campoamor can provide a quieter coastal alternative.
The wider Sunshine Homes Explore the Orihuela Costa area with Sunshine Homes is a useful starting point for comparing Campoamor with the surrounding neighbourhoods.
The important point is not to choose Campoamor solely from photographs. Visit the exact street, walk to the beach, drive to the supermarket and return to the development in the evening. Two homes only a few kilometres apart can offer very different everyday experiences.
Campoamor Beaches: La Glea, Aguamarina and Barranco Rubio
Campoamor's coastline is one of the strongest reasons to consider the area.
The official Comunitat Valenciana tourism portal confirms that Dehesa de Campoamor has three beaches: Aguamarina, La Glea and Barranco Rubio. Aguamarina is a series of coves extending for approximately 500 metres, while La Glea is more than 500 metres long and approximately 70 metres wide.
Playa de La Glea
La Glea sits beside the Campoamor marina and is particularly well equipped.
Official tourism information lists:
- Blue Flag certification
- Lifeguard and rescue services
- Accessible bathing facilities
- Public toilets
- Walkways
- Chiringuito
- Restaurant
- Sunbeds and parasols
- Watersports
- Accessible parking
The beach also connects to a Mediterranean wooded area with walking and picnic facilities.
That is useful evidence for buyers because "close to the beach" can mean very different things across the Spanish coast. La Glea is not simply a strip of sand. It has established facilities that make it practical for regular use.
Aguamarina
Aguamarina lies between Campoamor and Cabo Roig and provides a different coastal environment, combining small coves with established residential development.
It is particularly relevant to property buyers because Sunshine Homes currently has a live apartment listing in Aguamarina, Campoamor, providing a real example of the type of home available close to this stretch of coast.

A Real Campoamor Property Example: Aguamarina
Rather than relying on a generic Campoamor average price, it is more useful to look at actual stock.
At the time this guide was checked, Sunshine Homes was marketing the following property:
Aguamarina, Campoamor: 2-bedroom apartment, €249,900
Reference MLSC8778465 is a second-floor apartment with lift access in Aguamarina, Campoamor.
The live listing confirms:
- Asking price: €249,900
- 2 bedrooms
- 1 bathroom
- 89 m² built area
- 10 m² terrace
- Lift
- Central air conditioning
- Fully furnished and equipped
- Private parking space
- Communal swimming pool
The listing also describes an open-plan kitchen and living area and a terrace overlooking the residential and communal areas.
This is the kind of evidence buyers should use when researching Campoamor. It shows what a current asking price buys in a named part of the area and gives a much stronger reference point than a broad average covering every apartment from the N-332 to the beach.

Property availability and asking prices can change, so treat individual listings as a current market snapshot rather than a permanent valuation benchmark.
Campoamor vs Nearby Orihuela Costa Communities
Campoamor makes more sense when you compare it directly with its neighbours.
Cabo Roig sits immediately to the north and offers a livelier commercial strip, marina, coastal paths and established apartment communities.
Sunshine Homes currently markets a 2-bedroom corner apartment in Playa Marina I on the Cabo Roig Strip for €198,000. The property has an 80 m² internal area, communal swimming pool, community garage parking, air conditioning, upgraded windows and patio doors, and is listed as approximately 200 metres from the sea.
That gives buyers a useful comparison with the €249,900 Aguamarina apartment in Campoamor.
View the live Playa Marina I Cabo Roig apartment
La Zenia is another useful comparison for buyers who prioritise walkability, shopping and restaurants.
Sunshine Homes currently lists a 2-bedroom San Jose bungalow in La Zenia for €225,000. It provides 70 m² of internal space on a 105 m² plot, a glazed terrace, rooftop solarium, storage and access to a communal swimming pool.
View the live La Zenia bungalow
These examples show why buyers should not simply search "Orihuela Costa property" and choose by price.
At the time of checking:
| Live Sunshine Homes example | Asking price | Key features |
|---|---|---|
| Aguamarina, Campoamor, 2-bed apartment | €249,900 | 89 m², 10 m² terrace, furnished, parking, communal pool |
| Playa Marina I, Cabo Roig, 2-bed apartment | €198,000 | Corner position, communal pool, garage parking, 200 m from sea |
| San Jose, La Zenia, 2-bed bungalow | €225,000 | 70 m² internal, 105 m² plot, solarium, communal pool |
They are three different propositions even though all sit within the wider Orihuela Costa market.
Supermarkets and Everyday Shopping
Campoamor buyers do not need to rely on vague claims about having "amenities nearby".
There is a Consum supermarket at Calle Gerardo Diego 1 in Dehesa de Campoamor. Consum's own store information currently lists opening hours from 07:00 to 23:00 every day and confirms bakery and fruit and vegetable facilities.
For larger shopping trips, Zenia Boulevard is in neighbouring La Zenia.
Its official directory confirms businesses including:
- Alcampo
- Decathlon
- IKEA planning studio
- Leroy Merlin
- MediaMarkt
- Primark
- Zara
- Mango
The centre currently lists commercial opening from 10:00 to 22:00 daily, hypermarket opening from 09:00 to 22:00 and restaurant trading until midnight.
This gives permanent residents a practical combination: local grocery shopping in Campoamor and a much larger concentration of retail and leisure facilities a short drive away in La Zenia.
Healthcare Near Campoamor
Healthcare is another area where buyers should look for specific providers rather than generic statements.
One established private option is Hospital Quirónsalud Torrevieja, located at Partida de la Loma in Torrevieja.
The hospital confirms that it operates 24 hours and includes facilities such as operating theatres, intensive care, emergency facilities, laboratories and specialist consultations. Its international service also states that it supports patients from multiple countries and provides multilingual assistance.
Quirónsalud also operates a multidisciplinary medical centre in Orihuela with general medicine, paediatrics, cardiology, dermatology, gynaecology, diagnostic imaging and other services.
Buyers planning permanent relocation should separately confirm which public health centre they would be assigned to based on their exact address and residency status rather than assuming all Campoamor properties use the same facility.
Golf Around Campoamor
Golf is one of the area's most identifiable lifestyle advantages.
The official Orihuela tourism map identifies Real Club de Golf Campoamor, Las Ramblas Golf, Villamartin Golf and Las Colinas Golf & Country Club within the wider Orihuela Costa area.
That gives buyers several distinct options without needing to base themselves directly on a golf urbanisation.
For someone choosing between the coast and an inland golf community, Campoamor can therefore offer a compromise: beach access while remaining within practical reach of several courses.
Buyers who want to compare golf locations can also use the Sunshine Homes Explore the Sunshine Homes Golf Guide.
What Type of Property Works Best in Campoamor?
The right property depends on how often you will use it.
For holiday-home buyers
A lock-up-and-leave apartment in Aguamarina or another established community may be attractive because maintenance can be lower and facilities such as communal swimming pools are already managed.
Look closely at:
- Walking distance to the beach
- Terrace orientation
- Community fees
- Lift access
- Parking
- Pool opening rules
- Security when the property is empty
- Storage for longer stays
For permanent residents
Priorities often change when a property becomes a full-time home.
Consider:
- Winter sunlight
- Heating and air conditioning
- Storage
- Parking
- Supermarket access
- Fibre broadband
- Lift or step-free access
- Outdoor space you will actually use
- Distance to healthcare
- How many neighbouring homes remain occupied during winter
For investment buyers
Do not purchase based only on a headline rental-yield estimate.
Check the property's legal status, community rules, licence requirements, management costs and realistic periods of owner occupation before calculating a return.
Sunshine Homes provides a separate guide for buyers still deciding between a Holiday Home or Investment guide.

A Real Sunshine Homes Buyer Experience
Sunshine Homes publishes testimonials from buyers who have used the company during their move to Spain.
One relocation client, Michael P., explains that he was relocating from overseas and needed a company he could trust. His published feedback specifically credits Sunshine Homes' local knowledge, honesty and support with helping him find a family home and settle into the area.
Another first-time buyer testimonial from David and Claire R. says the team supported them from property viewings through to the legal paperwork and helped them feel confident in their purchase.
These are genuine Sunshine Homes testimonials. They are not presented here as Campoamor purchases because the company's public testimonial page does not specify the buyers' exact locations.
That distinction matters. Genuine evidence is more useful to a buyer than inventing a location simply to make a case study sound more specific.

What to Check During a Campoamor Viewing
A successful viewing should answer more than whether you like the kitchen or sea view.
Check the following while you are physically at the property:
- Walk the real route to La Glea or Aguamarina rather than relying on map distance.
- Visit the property at a second time of day to assess traffic and noise.
- Check whether the terrace receives morning, afternoon or winter sun.
- Confirm community fees and ask whether any extraordinary levies are planned.
- Inspect communal pools, gardens, lifts and garages.
- Check whether extensions, enclosed terraces or solariums appear in the legal documentation.
- Test mobile coverage and ask about fibre broadband.
- Check parking conditions during busy periods.
- Ask how many neighbours live in the development year-round.
- Confirm the exact route to supermarkets and healthcare.
- Have an independent solicitor inspect the legal documentation before committing significant funds.

Is Campoamor Right for You?
Campoamor works particularly well for buyers who want access to the coast without choosing the busiest part of Orihuela Costa.
Its appeal is easier to understand once you stop treating Campoamor as a generic beach destination and look at the details.
There is a Consum supermarket in Dehesa de Campoamor. La Glea provides documented lifeguard, accessibility and leisure facilities. Aguamarina has established residential stock, including a live Sunshine Homes apartment currently marketed at €249,900. Major shopping is available at Zenia Boulevard, while several golf courses and private healthcare facilities sit within the wider local area.
Those are concrete, checkable reasons to shortlist the location.
The next step is to compare actual properties rather than rely on broad averages.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Campoamor suitable for permanent living?
It can be. Buyers have access to local grocery shopping, neighbouring retail facilities, beaches and wider Orihuela Costa services. Permanent residents should still visit during winter before purchasing because the pace of individual streets and urbanisations changes outside summer.
Which beaches are in Campoamor?
Official Valencian tourism information identifies Aguamarina, La Glea and Barranco Rubio as the three beaches on the Dehesa de Campoamor coastline. La Glea has extensive facilities including lifeguards, accessible bathing, toilets, a restaurant and a beach bar.
Is there a supermarket in Campoamor?
Yes. Consum operates a supermarket at Calle Gerardo Diego 1 in Dehesa de Campoamor. Its current official listing shows daily opening.
What does a Campoamor apartment cost in 2026?
There is no single reliable Campoamor average because price depends heavily on location, condition, orientation, size and facilities. A live Sunshine Homes example in Aguamarina was listed at €249,900 when this guide was checked, providing 2 bedrooms, 89 m², a terrace, parking and communal pool.
Is Campoamor better than Cabo Roig or La Zenia?
That depends on your priorities. Campoamor may suit someone seeking a more residential coastal setting, while Cabo Roig provides a busier commercial area and La Zenia offers particularly strong shopping and amenity access. The best comparison is made using live properties in each location rather than choosing solely by reputation.
Can Sunshine Homes help me compare the areas?
Yes. Sunshine Homes markets new-build and resale properties across Costa Blanca and currently has extensive Orihuela Costa inventory. Its team includes Colin Robson as Property Specialist, Debra Robson in Client Relations and Ashleigh Beck as Head of Operations and Aftersales.
