Los Balcones lifestyle

The residential suburb of Los Balcones is made up of a number of developments, including apartment blocks, townhouses, and private villas. Los Balcones still retains its traditional Spanish charm, which is evident in the absence of tall buildings, busy highways, and crowded commercial centres. The presence of many local shops, Spanish restaurants, and tapas bars further enhances this appeal.

Though situated away from the hustle and bustle of busy cities, Los Balcones boasts a relatively varied array of facilities and attractions, providing a convenient way of life for the town’s residents and visitors. Its proximity to Villamartin's golf courses, the bars and leisure facilities of Torrevieja, and the beaches of Punta Prima and Orihuela Costa make its central location ideal for a variety of people—whether they prefer an active or laidback lifestyle, or a fusion of both.

Los Balcones is characterised as a quiet and peaceful residential urbanisation. The town had a population of only 4,986 as of 2018, according to the Instituto Nacional de Estadística. Shops, restaurants, supermarkets, and a shopping centre are all in close proximity to each other, as well as the many residential areas located in the town. Because of this, residents of Los Balcones, as well as guests staying in apartment rentals, don't have to travel far in search of the nearest restaurant, supermarket, or shop. These facilities are usually only a short drive away from the residential areas, and taxis are available at all times of the day. Most can even be reached by a short stroll, as many residential developments—especially apartment blocks—are conveniently located near various facilities, including restaurants, tapas bars, and supermarkets.

Despite being a residential urbanisation, nature is abundant in Los Balcones. This can be observed in the town’s tree-lined streets and its natural park, as well as the large saltwater lake of Torrevieja beside the town, which provides fresh and healthy air.

Often referred to as Parque Los Balcones, this park provides a picturesque setting to get close to nature.

Dogs are welcome, so visitors can stroll around or play with their pooches.

For those who prefer an active lifestyle, Los Balcones is just a 5-minute drive from the Club de Tenis in Torrevieja, a popular sports club that features multiple tennis courts, Ping-Pong tables, two paddle courts, a gym, swimming pool, and a spa and sauna.
