Discover the Costa Blanca, one of Spain’s best-loved coastal regions, known for its golden beaches, turquoise coves and lively seaside towns. From the colourful streets of Jávea to the harbours of Moraira and the dramatic coastline around Calpe, it offers an easy blend of beach days and Mediterranean sunshine.
Stay in villas in Spain with private pools and enjoy space, privacy and easy access to the coast.
Costa Blanca combines beautiful Mediterranean beaches with authentic Spanish towns and dramatic inland landscapes. While its coastline is famous for long sandy shores and vibrant seaside resorts, venture inland and you’ll find terraced valleys, mountain villages and historic hilltop towns.
The region’s coastal towns each offer their own character. Jávea and Moraira are known for relaxed harbourfront dining and picturesque coves, while Calpe is instantly recognisable thanks to the towering limestone rock of Peñón de Ifach rising above the sea. Further south, Alicante brings lively city energy with historic streets, waterfront promenades and excellent restaurants.
Beyond the coastline, natural parks and mountain ranges offer hiking, cycling and spectacular viewpoints. Local festivals fill towns with music and celebration throughout the year, while traditional markets and seafood restaurants showcase the region’s vibrant Mediterranean culture.
