La Zenia

Located between the towns of Cabo Roig and Playa Flamenca is the beautiful Costa Blanca resort of La Zenia. Situated in a district known as the Orihuela Costa, La Zenia is a popular and desirable holiday location.

La Zenia boasts a couple of excellent beaches, Cala Bosque and Cala Cerrada and is also close to some other superb beaches at Cabo Roig and Playa Flamenca, both beaches have ‘blue flag’ status and are well cared for and maintained. Another great feature is the picturesque cliff walk to Cabo Roig, with stunning views of the Mediterranean Sea towards the sports resort of La Manga. Work is currently being done at various points along the coast to extend and improve the promenade and cliff walk so that eventually visitors will be able to enjoy walking all the way from Campoamor to Torrevieja, a new marina has been built in Torrevieja.

The renowned La Zenia Hotel is located right by the side of the beach and is well signposted from the N332 coast road, the hotel offers a good range of accommodation and some great facilities and entertainment.

La Zenia currently has a good range of shops, bars and restaurants and a new commercial centre being developed close to the motorway junction, will greatly improve the range of facilities available for visitors to the area.

La Zenia is very popular with Irish visitors and the famous ‘Paddy’s Point’ pub is reputed to have been the first Irish pub in the region.

The superb Saturday market at Playa Flamenca is just a short walk from La Zenia and is located behind the Mercadona supermarket (just follow the crowds!), it is held from 8am - 2pm and is a great place to find a bargain, or just stock up on some locally grown fresh fruit and vegetables.

The well known Cabo Roig strip is also close by and can be easily reached by bus and taxi or even by foot if you don’t mind a 15 minute walk. The ‘strip’ has a huge choice of bars and restaurants and plenty of live entertainment during the busy summer months.
