Beach clubs in Orihuela Costa

Orihuela Costa sits on the southern end of the Costa Blanca, between Torrevieja and Dehesa de Campoamor. The coastline runs from Playa Flamenca through La Zenia and Cabo Roig down to Campoamor, with Blue Flag beaches and low-rise promenades connecting the main urbanisations.

Beach clubs in Orihuela Costa are a small and calm bunch. The scene here isn't Ibiza or Benidorm. It's a relaxed stretch of coast that does the sun-and-lunch combination well, with moderate pricing and a predominantly expat crowd.

The main dedicated venue is The Palms Beach Club in the Campoamor area, a pool-and-restaurant setup on Calle Monterrey. For a wider choice, Torrevieja is about 15 minutes north, and Dehesa de Campoamor to the south has WOW Beach Club, a higher-end option with luxury daybeds.

What is the best beach club in Orihuela Costa?

The Palms Beach Club is the only dedicated beach club in Orihuela Costa itself. It's in the Campoamor area, with a pool, Bali beds, and a restaurant that does a well-regarded Sunday lunch. For more choice, Dehesa de Campoamor sits directly south and has WOW Beach Club, which goes more upscale with luxury daybeds and a fine dining menu.

For something livelier, head north to Torrevieja. The southern Costa Blanca has enough venues across a 20-minute stretch to make a good day of it with a car.

Do beach clubs in Orihuela Costa have pools?

Yes. The Palms Beach Club has a full pool with Bali beds along the deck, and it's what most guests come for. WOW Beach Club in nearby Dehesa de Campoamor also has a pool, though it skews more expensive.

Most chiringuitos along the coast don't have pools. If a pool is your priority, The Palms is your best bet on this stretch.

The Palms Beach Club

The Palms Beach Club is on Calle Monterrey in the Campoamor area of Orihuela Costa. Women-owned and family-oriented, it draws a loyal crowd of expats and holidaymakers looking for a quiet afternoon by the pool. No DJ, no party vibe.

The pool is the main draw, with Bali beds along the deck. Fish and chips is what people come for, the most talked-about dish by a wide margin and clearly what regulars return for. Sunday lunch pulls a loyal crowd too.

Service is consistently praised. Staff come up as a genuine highlight across reviews, kind and attentive rather than indifferent. It's fully wheelchair accessible, LGBTQ+ friendly, and has a kids' area with children's discounts.

Free street parking is on Calle Monterrey. When booking a Bali bed, confirm it faces the sun. The club runs seasonally from spring through early autumn, and was temporarily closed at time of writing, so check directly before planning your visit.

Tips for visiting Orihuela Costa beach clubs

Alicante-Elche Airport is about 45 minutes north, and Murcia's Corvera Airport is around 30 minutes south. A hire car gives you the flexibility to explore the full stretch from Playa Flamenca down to Campoamor. Local buses connect the main urbanisations, but they're slow.

The beaches along this stretch are Blue Flag-standard and well-maintained. For more beach club options, Dehesa de Campoamor is directly south, and Torrevieja has several more a short drive north. The whole southern Costa Blanca coast is easy to cover in a day with a car.
