Appartement Joy, Orihuela Overview
Appartement Joy is located in Orihuela, Spain. Rated 8.6 out of 10 based on 4 guest reviews.
Appartement Joy is an apartment stay in Orihuela, Spain, set on Calle Columbretes at the address 39 Calle Columbretes. It suits travellers who want independence without giving up comfort, with air conditioning for warm days and a terrace for slow mornings or evening downtime. The property is non-smoking throughout, and guests can rely on free wired internet and internet access for practical planning during their stay. Parking is also part of the equation: offsite parking is available with discounted rates, and covered parking helps if you’re arriving by car.
The layout is designed for day-to-day living, and previous visitors have highlighted the space and privacy that come with an apartment-style setup. One recurring theme from the small set of reviews is that the stay feels straightforward and comfortable, with guests appreciating the overall value for the area rather than expecting hotel-style services. The nearby swimming option is a plus for those who prefer a quick dip close to home rather than committing to a full beach day.
For sightseeing, Orihuela Cathedral is about 18 km away, offering a classic historic stop when you want culture beyond the coast. Golfers can plan around Las Colinas Golf Course (around 10 km) and Villamartín Plaza (around 8 km), where you’ll find a lively mix of leisure and dining. If you’re travelling with a car, the coast around La Zenia Beach is roughly 16 km from the apartment, giving you an easy route to sand and sea when the weather is right.
Best for couples and small groups who want a self-catered base with practical comforts, or for golfers and beach-goers who prefer to come and go on their own schedule.

Should You Book Appartement Joy?
Worth considering if you want an independent apartment base in Orihuela with comfort features like air conditioning and a terrace. The 8.6/10 guest rating from 4 reviews suggests a generally positive experience, though the review sample is small.
Best For
- Travelers who prefer apartment-style independence over hotels, with space to manage their own routine
- Small groups or families needing air conditioning for warm days and a terrace for downtime
- Golf-focused visitors planning trips to Villamartín Golf Club (7 km) and Las Colinas Golf & Country Club (10 km)
- Beach-goers who don’t mind driving to La Zenia Beach (16 km) and want a quieter base in Orihuela
Not Ideal For
- Guests who strongly rely on on-site parking, since parking is described as offsite/covered rather than explicitly on-site
- Travelers who need frequent flight options closer than Murcia–San Javier (41 km) or Alicante–Elche (52 km), since Valencia is much farther (173 km)
- Anyone who needs a large volume of recent reviews before booking, given the rating is based on only 4 reviews
What to Expect
Check-in is scheduled between 4:00 PM and 6:00 PM, so arriving within that window should make things smoother. The apartment setup on Calle Columbretes feels suited to a more self-directed stay, with air conditioning for comfort and a terrace for slower mornings or evening downtime. In the area, you can plan day trips by car to golf at Villamartín and Las Colinas, or head toward La Zenia Beach for a beach day. With an 8.6/10 rating from a small set of reviews, the overall impression is positive, but it’s best to treat it as a promising option rather than a fully proven one.
Location Intelligence
Orihuela is positioned well for golf and day trips: Villamartín Golf Club (7 km) and Las Colinas Golf & Country Club (10 km) are relatively close, while La Zenia Beach is about 16 km away. For broader sightseeing, Orihuela Cathedral is listed at 18 km, and the salt lakes area at Salinas de Torrevieja is about 38 km. The nearest airports are Murcia–San Javier (41 km) and Alicante–Elche (52 km), so plan transfers accordingly.
