Torrevieja gears up for summer with new waterfront attraction and outdoor pool season

Torrevieja is welcoming the summer season with two major attractions now open to residents and visitors. The long-awaited opening of Paseo del Mar marks a significant transformation of the city’s waterfront, while the reopening of the municipal outdoor swimming pools provides a popular and affordable way to stay active during the warmer months. Together, the developments offer even more reasons to spend time enjoying one of the Costa Blanca’s most popular coastal destinations.

Harbour reborn with the opening of Paseo del Mar

After years of construction, delays and anticipation, Torrevieja has finally unveiled one of its most ambitious waterfront projects.

Paseo del Mar officially opened on Thursday, June 11, welcoming visitors to the new shopping and leisure complex built alongside the Dique de Levante in the heart of the harbour.

The development forms part of an investment of more than €100 million designed to reconnect the city with its seafront and transform a previously inaccessible area into a new destination for residents and tourists.

Although the centre is opening in phases, visitors can already enjoy a wide range of restaurants, cafés and leisure facilities. Well-known names including McDonald’s, KFC, Taco Bell, Foster Hollywood, Saona, Sibuya and Brasa y Leña have already opened, while Ozone Bowling and the cinema are expected to become major attractions throughout the summer.

Around 30 commercial units are planned in total, with further businesses expected to open in the coming months.

One of the biggest attractions, however, may be the location itself. Positioned directly beside the marina, Paseo del Mar offers great views across the harbour.

The underground car park is already operational, although work continues on some surrounding public areas and walkways.

Summer Splash returns to the city

Torrevieja’s outdoor municipal swimming pools have now reopened for summer.

Visitors will once again have access to two pools, offering a convenient option for exercise, leisure and family outings throughout the season.

The 25-metre pool and leisure pool will operate on extended summer schedules, with morning and evening opening times designed to help visitors avoid the hottest part of the day.

Standard entry costs just €3. Reduced admission is available for €2, while regular users can take advantage of a 20-visit pool and gym pass for €40. Discounted passes are available for eligible groups.

More reasons to visit Torrevieja this summer

The reopening of the pools and the launch of Paseo del Mar highlight Torrevieja’s continued investment in facilities for both residents and tourists.

With new dining, entertainment and shopping options now available on the waterfront, alongside affordable sporting and leisure facilities, the city is well positioned for another busy summer season. As visitor numbers continue to grow across the Costa Blanca, these new and improved attractions are expected to become popular destinations for locals and holidaymakers alike.
