The Best Places to Buy on the Costa Blanca
The Costa Blanca is large and varied, and every town has its own atmosphere and crowd. To help you on your way, we highlight some of the most popular destinations, from north to south. Which one suits you best depends mainly on your budget and the lifestyle you are looking for.
In the north: charm and sea views
Javea, Moraira and Benissa are known for their detached villas, green hills and crystal-clear coves. This part is a little more exclusive and quieter, with a strong international community. Altea stands out for its picturesque old centre of white houses, while lively Calpe is dominated by the striking Penon de Ifach rock.
Around Alicante: city and beach
Santa Pola and Gran Alacant offer wide beaches a short distance from the city of Alicante, with all its amenities, culture and the airport around the corner. A good choice if you want to combine urban convenience with beach life.
In the south: sun and affordability
Torrevieja, Orihuela Costa and Guardamar form the heart of the affordable south. Here you will find the widest choice of apartments, bungalows and townhouses, often with a communal pool and golf courses nearby. The international community is large and life carries on outside the season too.
Which place suits you?
- Looking for a spacious villa with sea views: look to the north, around Javea and Moraira.
- Want affordability and a sociable feel: the south around Torrevieja and Orihuela Costa offers plenty of choice.
- Prefer city amenities: stay near Alicante, Santa Pola or Gran Alacant.
