Moraira is a Mediterranean gem located between Alicante and Valencia, known for its turquoise coves, boutique hotels, and relaxed seaside lifestyle. This destination is located just 1 hour by car from Alicante Airport (ALC) and 1 hour 20 minutes from Valencia Airport (VLC) — making it one of the most accessible and picturesque towns on Spain’s Costa Blanca.

From Alicante Airport (ALC)

By Car – the fastest and most flexible way

• Distance: around 93 km.
• Travel time: 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes.
• Route: Take the AP-7 motorway north toward Benidorm, then exit at Exit 63 (Benissa/Teulada). Follow the signs toward Teulada via the N-332/CV-743, and continue on the CV-743 directly to Moraira.
• Tolls (Peajes): The AP-7 between Alicante and Teulada has been toll-free since January 2020. There are no tolls on this route.
• Why drive:
  • Cost: The motorway is completely free, reducing overall travel expenses.
  • Flexibility: Renting a car allows you to explore nearby towns such as Altea, Calpe, or Jávea.
  • Parking: During summer, parking near the beach can be limited, so booking accommodation with private parking is advisable.

Scenic Alternative: N-332

If you prefer a slower and more local route, the N-332 runs parallel to the coast. It’s toll-free and passes through Benidorm, Altea, and Calpe, offering beautiful sea views and authentic Spanish scenery. However, traffic through urban areas can make the journey take up to 2 hours.

By Bus or Shuttle

• Direct shuttle: Beniconnect Shuttle Transfer connects Alicante Airport and Moraira in about 70 minutes. Beniconnect’s Costa Connect service offers both shared and private transfers, making it one of the most reliable and popular ways to reach Moraira.
• Public bus: Take an ALSA bus from Alicante Airport or city to Teulada, then a short taxi or local bus to Moraira (about 10 minutes).
• Travel time: around 1 hour 30 minutes.
• Tickets: from €10–€15 depending on the season.

A practical and budget-friendly option for travellers who prefer not to drive.

By Taxi or Private Transfer

• Duration: approximately 1 hour.
• Average price: €105–€140 during daytime (7:00–21:00).
• Night and holiday rate: Expect a 20–25% surcharge for services outside standard hours. Always request a fixed quote before travelling.

From Valencia Airport (VLC)

By Car – the scenic coastal route

• Distance: about 125 km.
• Driving time: 1 hour 20 minutes to 1 hour 30 minutes.
• Route: Take the AP-7 motorway south toward Alicante, exit at Exit 63 (Benissa/Teulada), follow signs for Teulada via the N-332/CV-743, and continue on the CV-743 directly to Moraira.
• Why drive: The motorway is toll-free and offers panoramic coastal views. It’s perfect if you plan to explore Denia, Gandía, or the Xaló Valley wine region.

By Bus – one easy transfer from the airport

There is no direct bus from Valencia Airport to Moraira, but it’s an easy connection with one transfer:

1. Take the Metro (Line 3 or 5) or a taxi from the airport to the Valencia Central Bus Station.
2. From there, take an ALSA bus directly to Teulada. This bus continues along the coast through towns such as Gandía, Oliva, and Denia before reaching Teulada, with an approximate journey time of 3 to 4 hours.
3. From Teulada, take a local taxi or connecting bus to Moraira (about 10 minutes).

• Total travel time: around 3 to 3.5 hours.
• Tickets: from €11–€25.

This route is reliable and comfortable, offering a simple transfer from the airport to the Valencia bus station. However, the total journey can be long — around three to four hours — and involves limited bus frequency. The advantage is that it remains one of the most affordable and scenic ways to reach Moraira, ideal for travellers who enjoy coastal views and budget-friendly transport.

By Private Transfer or Taxi

• Time: about 1 hour 20 minutes.
• Estimated cost: €175–€195 for daytime service.
