About Los Balcones

Los Balcones is one of the Costa Blanca South's most established elevated villa communities, perched on the hillside above Orihuela Costa with uninterrupted views across countryside, coastline, and on clear days the Murcian hills. The urbanisation has long attracted a substantial northern European community seeking space, privacy, and genuine year-round living rather than seasonal tourism. Highway access via the AP-7 puts both Alicante and Murcia airports within 40–45 minutes.
