Marina d’Or is located north of the city of Oropesa de Mar. The project is based on the beachfront model, but tries to break the traditional summer seasonality with several golf courses, thalassotherapy, covered artificial ski venues and other elements. The current development occupies an area less than a km wide between the coastal railway and the beaches, having been classified as urban extension land from the 1980s

In 2010 was enacted the Integrated Intervention Programme for Marina Golf (3 golf courts, some 33.000 dwellings and over 8 million sq m of total area), which in the long term will mean a development towards the hinterland.
