Villa Amalia to have 455 homes in eight lower-rise blocks in Torrevieja

Developer Lorca Familia, S.L. has revised the plan for Villa Amalia, a development south of Torrevieja, next to the N-332. The proposal groups 455 homes into eight blocks and reduces the planned maximum heights from eight and ten storeys to six and seven. The modification is on public display for 45 working days.

The blocks would be divided between two inner blocks of land, with four buildings on each. One would have up to seven storeys and a height of 24.5 metres; the other, six storeys and 21 metres. The combined residential floor area would be 27,283 square metres.

The revised layout increases the planned number of homes in one block of land from 175 to 258, and in the other from 134 to 197. The maximum of 925 homes envisaged for the entire sector remains unchanged. The change moves the residential development potential from three plots near the road, where 146 homes and 8,804 square metres of floor space were planned, to the inner plots.

The strip closest to the N-332 would have no residential use. The revision is linked to the future dualling of the bypass, which would bring the road closer to the plots along the western edge. Measures to reduce noise and address drainage have also been proposed during the planning process.

The proposal also sets aside a plot for commercial uses, including hotels and related facilities, with a maximum of two storeys and a height of seven metres. For residents of Torrevieja and the Vega Baja, the plan sets out the layout and scale of a new housing development beside one of the main routes into the city.

Torrevieja Town Hall identifies Lorca Familia, S.L. as the developer behind the modification to the Partial Plan for Sector 6. On 13 June 2025, the Local Government Board issued a favourable strategic environmental and territorial report on a proposal submitted in 2024, subject to conditions concerning landscape integration, roads and the coastal edge.

Those conditions include demonstrating that the height and layout of the buildings will not create architectural barriers that restrict views of the coast, in accordance with coastal regulations. The favourable environmental report was a strategic planning step, not final approval of the plan. The revised layout is now proceeding through the public consultation process.
