About this property

Villa Ra - Enchanting Moraira Villa with Secluded Pool and Sea View

Villa Ra is set on the side of a green and peaceful valley with lovely sea and hill views in the quiet, exclusive San Jaime area, 5 mins walk from the Club de Golf Ifach with its tennis courts, bars, restaurant, pool and breath-taking views and just a few minutes drive from the lovely beaches, Marina and Old Town of Moraira itself.

The very private pool (1m shallow end) is not overlooked and is particularly magical at night with pretty poolside and terrace lighting. A pool heater will soon be installed - ask for details. There is an open-plan living area with a fully equipped modern open-plan kitchen, a large glazed naya (sun room) and a sitting room (with UK satellite 'free-to-air' TV or German TV). Also on the ground floor is bedroom 3 with adjacent modern shower-room. Upstairs are two further bedrooms and a stylish family bathroom. The master bedroom has an en-suite shower-room, a private terrace with those superb views over the sea, hills and the pool terrace below. Outside there is a shady area with built-in barbecue and steps down to the orchard garden. A best supermarket in the area is close by and there are a few bars and restaurants within walking distance.

Resort area: Green countryside dotted with individual white-washed villas, shady pine woods, citrus groves and vine terracing make a pretty and relaxing setting away from the package tour crowds.

Moraira is an attractive resort which retains its local charm. There are 2 safe, sandy beaches with beach-bars, and numerous little rocky coves (calas) up and down the coast. The town has grown from a small fishing village into an attractive high-quality holiday resort whilst managing to hold onto much of its authenticity . . . partly due to the busy local fish market with catches brought in fresh each day by the fishing fleet . . . if you like fish you will love Moraira! There is an abundance of restaurants, bars and smart little shops which crowd around the harbour and popular marina and then meander on down the coast road.

San Jaime is on the borders of Moraira, and a little outside Town - but only a couple of minutes - and, whilst benefiting from a peaceful location, it also has the best Supermarket in the area.

Local attractions and activities: The beautiful 9-hole Moraira golf-course with excellent poolside bar/restaurant and magical views down to the sea is open to non-members and is within walking distance of the villa, with the popular 18-hole course at Jesus Pobre and the 9-hole course at Javea about 15 minutes away by car. Nearby are tennis courts, squash, water sports, boat hire and trips, horse-riding and go-kart racing. A little further away are the coastal resorts of Javea (15-20 mins. by car) with its beautiful sandy horse-shoe bay bordered by beach bars and restaurants, Denia with its long, sandy beach and pretty Calpe in the other direction. The local wine-making area of the Jalon valley, surrounded by mountains is also about 20 mins. drive away, and from here you can venture further into the spectacular mountain scenery - perfect for those who enjoy walking, cycling or climbing. Moraira is only 45 minutes drive from the livelier Benidorm which is close to Terra Mitica (a Disney style theme park) and Aqualandia Water Park

Suitability: Pets will be considered on an individual basis - but we'll do our best to help.

Steps from street level to pool terrace may make it unsuitable for those with seriously impaired mobility.

We are happy to accept CONSIDERATE smokers and request that you do so only when outside.

The villa has hot or cold a/c in the 3 bedrooms and central heating radiators to all main areas, so is warm and comfortable in Winter and cool in summer, and the glazed naya makes the most of the winter sun. Unlike some seaside towns, most of Moraira and nearby Javea's bars and restaurants remain open all year round to welcome the visitors who enjoy the temperate climate of the Costa Blanca. Winter in this area is generally sunny and pleasant. There are a few days where the rain falls, helping to keep the countryside green and fertile, but there are also days where, despite the calendar, you may well be able to get those shorts out and even go for a swim.

The villa now has free Wi-Fi Internet connection for guests wishing to use their laptops or tablets.

Benissa Costa
The villa is in a very quiet location and enjoys the sun from first light to sunset. A very pleasant and well maintained villa and grounds. The pool is not ideal for serious swimmers but great for young children as the shallow area is safe for them. Well equipped kitchen and extensive internal layout for when it rains

Sunny Villa Ra!
We absolutely loved our stay at Villa Ra! The Villa is just wonderful. The host has thought of everything and I really do mean everything, it is the best equipped Villa we have stayed at. Our boys loved the pool and would have spent every minute in it if we hadn’t have wanted to visit the many beautiful beaches. They made us promise to get them back to the pool by 2pm every day! The air con in the bedrooms was a godsend too! I believe the host makes improvements to this amazing villa every year, although we cannot see anything that needs improving. Fantastic holiday.

Excellent winter stay
We had a superb 7 week stay at Villa Ra. The property is very well equipped and in an excellent location, very quiet and only a short way to the beach or shops to the South, with great access to the motorway or mountains to the North out of Benissa. We soon felt very settled and comfortable here. It was an excellent place for our dog as well. We were unlucky with the weather, it being much colder than usual, so were grateful for the property having a decent central heating system. Being south facing it soon got warm inside with the doors open on a sunny day, and being so sheltered it was a sun trap sitting out by the pool, but the water was too chilly to take a dip!

Like a home from home
My husband and I rented this villa for ten weeks - October to December. We found the villa to be extremely clean and well-equipped and well presented. The owner lived nearby and was always available if required, he also popped round on a regular basis to make sure the pool was maintained. The area, while hilly, was wonderful - mountains and beaches. Moraira is within walking distance and is a lovely town with plenty of restaurants and bars. We had a wonderful time and would highly recommend this villa and the area.

Valued family Time
We have had over a months stay at Villa Ra and we truly appreciate the special family holiday we have had there . It offered all that we required especially the pool which our grandchildren loved any problems and James was contacted easily . Quiet and not overlooked we enjoyed it . A car is essential here but as we drove from the UK we were well prepared. Home now tired but the baby precious memories we will hold dear .

Simply Perfect
Just returned from an amazing 2 weeks at Villa Ra. There's only one word to describe it...PERFECT!! The villa itself was superb, with everything you could possibly want and more supplied. The films went down a storm with our children on the evenings, meaning we could relax and take in the peaceful surroundings. All of the rooms and furnishings were so well maintained and comfortable, meaning it was difficult to leave when the time came. It really did feel like a home away from home. I would highly recommend this villa to anybody and will hopefully be visiting again soon.

Great villa to spend two weeks
Stayed at this villa during August 2018 - one family of six adults. It was just perfect for us with 3 x air-conditioned bedrooms, a good bathroom upstairs and smaller shower room downstairs and a safe for valuables. Kitchen is a very good size and the open-plan layout is very good for preparing meals yet still talking with each other. Plenty of everything you need in the kitchen including dishwasher and large fridge. TV very good but little used by us. There is also a washing machine. The grounds of the property are large with a very good outside BBQ at the back of the property and on the lower levels, various trees with lemon's etc on the lower level. The pool area is superb. VERY private, with sunshine (in August) the whole time & an outside shower as well as 6 good quality sun loungers and at least three sun umbrellas. From the pool terrace you have a long distance view of the sea - very tranquil. James (the owner) was regularly at the property checking the pool condition and keeping it clean and topped up. I also liked the fact that the car could be parked off road and under a good shelter and it was behind a garage door so much safer. Potential issues: The only one I can think about is if you have disabled guests / guests with difficulty going up and down steep steps. When you enter the property from the road you must go down a set of steps so you just need to be careful. There is a sturdy handrail so ok for most people. James (the owner) was easy to reach, helpful, and knows the area well. For myself I loved the area the property is in. It is a nice area, very quiet, good for running (although hilly). There are some restaurants within walking distance (try the German restaurant close by for good value and service), and the supermarket is just a few minutes away in the car with Moraira and Calpe very easy to get to. Overall a very good relaxing holiday and the property is strongly recommended

Just WOW!!!!!
Just wow!! Villa Ra was even more perfect than we imagined. It was in a superb location; the villa was immaculately clean and tidy and equipped with everything we could possibly need and so much more; there were even books, magazines, CD’s and DVD’s to borrow; the air conditioning in every bedroom was a godsend and the sun loungers were ridiculously comfy - as for the swimming pool, just wow! James was available any time to answer our silly questions, and nothing was a hassle for him. His directions and tips were invaluable and the guest book at the villa was packed full of useful information and advice on where to eat/visit etc. We will be back :)

Simply Superb
A superbly equipped villa located in a pleasantly quiet area away from main roads. We were pleasantly surprised by the amenities available locally and also the way the villa was so well maintained by James, its friendly and personable owner, who took care of the pool and any other matters that needed attending to. There is a lockable, sun-screened parking area that is hidden from view. Another car or two can be safely parked on the road outside the villa. The kitchen is very well equipped with just about everything you are likely to need and is very clean and easy to maintain. We had plenty of storage space for luggage and all of our clothes and loads of other things that we took along. Unlike so many other villas, Villa Ra is bright and light inside with a pool that is not overlooked, so privacy is there if you want it. We had several visitors whilst we there during our three month stay and there was plenty of seating and equipment to make their visits pleasant and comfortable. They were all impressed and amazed by Villa Ra, so it was not just us! It was easy to feel at home very quickly and we really enjoyed our stay. Of special delight for us was the way the sun bathed the pool area and sun lounge from early morning until late evening making mealtimes on the terrace just perfect, even in February! Moraira is definitely not Benidorm! It is a wonderfully slow and easy going town with a multi-national community full of restaurants that can provide a brilliant English breakfast right up to top end dining you would expect to find in major cities across Europe and further afield. Locally there are markets in several towns including Moraira that are well worth a visit. The culture scene is active in the local and Valenciennes region with many festivals, parades, theatre and music concerts to enjoy. For nights in, the satellite TV has plenty to watch and the 4G internet connection is fast and reliable. We would happily go back, but unfortunately in 2018 the first few weeks we would have wanted for a prolonged stay were already booked.

Villa RA
We have stayed at this lovely villa twice now, and would highly recommend it. The villa is set in a very relaxing quiet area near Moraira, with lovely views, of the sea and hills. It is very well equipped, with everything you need for an enjoyable holiday. The owner Judy, is a lovely lady, and has been very helpful sending us the keys and directions, which were really easy to follow. There are a few bars and restaurants you can walk to, which are all friendly, or you can drive to the gorgeous town of Moraira, which is about 5 minutes away by car, for lots more restaurants and bars. We have enjoyed our 2 stays in the villa so much, we are hoping to book again this year.

Summer 2012 stay at Villa Ra
Great 2 weeks at Villa Ra. Everything was as described, great pool which got the sun all day, with plenty of sun lounges. Villa Ra was spotlessly clean and well maintained, James came to change linen and clean the pool on a few occasions. Good location in a quiet residential area, near to local golf club and a short drive to supermarket and some great restaurants. Moraira town is just 5/10 min drive away with its beautiful beach and great choice of restaurants so I recommend a car but taxis are available too. Great communication with owner Judy, who was very accommodating to our needs, and flexible with our dates. I highly recommend this property, our party included a 70 year old and a 3 year old, and the villa was very private, safe and secure for all.

Villa Ra
Well where can one begin, Villa Ra is without doubt the very best villa I have stayed in, in the past 13 years, not only is she very pretty, she is very accommodating, being clean and spacious. The pool was sumptuous, clean and bright! The owners provided a great service forwarding all the details from airport to the villa and we arrived in good time. We cannot recommend this villa enough and I for one shall book this villa again. Moraira is my very most favourite place with plenty of beaches bars and eating places. If you like to eat food better than burgers and chips then the square or the marina area is for you. Chamizo has now become my favourite, set on the beach over looking the bay of Moraira and the food is top notch, table 20 is the best. Try Algas for the best cocktails, set on the stony beach, its views looking across the bay and Med offers the best ambiance in the world. I for one cannot find anything wrong with Moraira apart from the fact I cannot visit it enough.

About the host

Hosted by James Morris

Host profile image
My late wife and I enjoyed many family holidays in the area with friends and eventually we bought Villa Ra between us. Every year we upgraded and improved the villa to what you see today. In 2016 I was pleased to become the sole owner of Villa Ra.

Why they chose this property

When we first viewed Villa Ra we entered, as you must, through a street door and down steps to the pool terrace. We were all hooked by Villa Ra before we even entered the villa, such was the magical feel and the open green views that we all experienced. The decision was instant . . . . . "If there's nothing seriously wrong, it's sold!" We later learned that it's after dark when Villa Ra becomes something even more special. It takes on a magical calmness and becomes a tranquil paradise.

What makes this property unique

It's perfect! The naya (sun room) faces south, as does the pool terrace. So both are always sunny. In winter when those in nearby villas have headed inside as the shade reaches them, Villa Ra is still sunny and warm.
