La Mata, in the north of Torrevieja, is built along a long sandy beach, with La Mata-Sur a Blue Flag beach in 2026. Behind it, the La Mata lagoon is part of the natural park. Inland, Nueva Torrevieja and Aguas Nuevas are residential areas of apartments, bungalows and houses.
In idealista’s districts the area covers La Mata and Nueva Torrevieja–Aguas Nuevas.

Living there all year
Health care. La Mata has its own public health centre, with primary care and mental health services (Conselleria de Sanitat (opens in a new tab)).
Getting around. The L02 bus runs between Torrevieja and Guardamar del Segura; Guardamar is about 14 km by road.
If you plan to let the property
In the Valencian Community, a tourist let of a whole home for stays of up to ten days needs registration and a favourable municipal planning report, and a new holiday let in a building with a community of owners generally needs the owners’ prior approval. Have your lawyer confirm the rules for the specific property, including the requirements for a new owner of an already registered tourist home.
Who La Mata and the north suit
La Mata suits buyers who want a quieter beach area with a long sandy beach and the natural park close by; Aguas Nuevas suits those looking for a residential area with more space.
For the town centre, look at the centre and urban beaches; for houses near the lagoons, the lagoon-side urbanisations.
