Villa Marcio is well-connected to amenities and facilities, being just 3 km away from the centre of Moraira. Here you will find a good selection of shops, supermarkets, bars and restaurants for all your needs when on holiday.
The beautiful, white sands of Playa de l'Ampolla are perfect for enjoying a day out by the sea, with calm waters ideally suited to swimming. If the younger ones are a bit wary of taking the plunge, they can play safely in the small stream that feeds into the sea. Older children will love having a go at volleyball with the dedicated net on the beach, and there's also a playground and restaurant on the beach!
The town itself hasn't lost any of its traditional Spanish charms, despite having been transformed from a humble fishing village into a famous resort town. You'll find plenty of atmospheric restaurants and cafes dotted along its cobbled streets and old market square. A restaurant recommendation for the centre of the town is Restaurante Vista Ifach, but there are plenty more!
There's also a large open-air market held every Friday, so you can browse for local handmade goods or some souvenirs if you happen to visit the town on that day. Moraira's most famous historical attraction is the 18th-century castle, Castillo de Moraira, which sits overlooking Playa de l'Ampolla beach. The best thing to do here is to wander around the town when the sun sets, as the skies turn a gorgeous colour that will impress everyone!
Lively Benidorm is around a 35-minute drive from the villa, with the town being surprisingly full of family-friendly attractions and activities, despite its reputation for being a party hotspot. You can take the children to many fun and exciting parks, including Aqua Natura and Aqualandia water parks. There's also Terra Mitica, a large theme park, and the nature park/zoo Terra Natura that sits next to Aqua Natura.
