Flying: Alicante or Valencia
Most guests land at Alicante-Elche. That airport is the closest to Moraira and has direct flights from airports across the UK and Ireland, among others. Valencia is further away, but it is a good alternative if there is a better flight from there or if you want to spend a few days in the city. From both airports you take the AP-7 to exit 63 (Benissa/Teulada).
In your own car
Those staying longer, or wintering here, often choose the car. The route runs through France to the Spanish border at La Jonquera and then along the AP-7 past Barcelona and Valencia. In France you pay tolls; the Spanish section of the AP-7 as far as Alicante is toll-free. The full route description to the front door is in the directions to Calamora. Arranging a car once you are here is also possible: see car hire in Moraira.
Without a car
Without a car there are two options. A transfer booked in advance takes you straight from the airport to the apartment. Public transport works too: ALSA runs from Alicante airport to Teulada among other places, and the tram from Alicante stops at Teulada station, with a change at Benidorm. From there you take the local bus or a taxi to Moraira. That takes more time and some planning, certainly outside the high season.
