Campoamor is an elegant, tranquil coastal area in the south of Orihuela Costa, built around the 18-hole Real Club de Golf Campoamor. The nearby Lomas de Campoamor development, begun in 1999, grew to around 1,200 homes around the course. Three beaches -- Cala de Campoamor, Barranco Rubio and La Glea -- offer manicured golden sand and Blue Flag waters. As of September 2026, average sale prices sit around €4,121/m2, up 10.5% year-on-year (Fotocasa) -- the only zone in this comparison currently trending upward rather than down.

Is Campoamor worth investing in?
Average sale prices around €4,121/m2 as of September 2026, up 10.5% year-on-year (Fotocasa) -- the strongest price trend among the zones covered here, likely tied to its golf-course setting and established, upscale developments.
