Discover the Costa Blanca
The area around Altea la Vella has something for everyone — whether you're after a leisurely round of golf, a beach day, a cultural wander or a long lunch on a sunny terrace. Here are some of our favourite spots, with distances from the apartment.
Walking Distance
The apartment sits right beside this beautifully situated 9-hole golf course, uniquely positioned between the sea and the mountains. After your round, stay for lunch or dinner at the clubhouse.
Walking Distance
Your local village, just a short stroll away. Pop in for your morning coffee, pick up groceries, or settle in on a terrace for a cold beer in the afternoon sun. Everything you need, at an easy pace.
Various Locations
Most nearby towns hold a weekly market — a great excuse for a morning out, browsing fresh produce, local crafts and everything in between.
Beach - 4 km
A lovely pebble beach with traditional Spanish chiringuitas (beach bars). Swimming and water sports are both on offer — perfect for a relaxed afternoon by the sea.
Nature Reserve - 5 km
Stunning mountain scenery with well-marked walking trails. The first stretch is accessible by car, making it easy to explore at your own pace.
Town - 7 km
One of the Costa Blanca's most charming hilltop towns, with whitewashed streets, sea views and a charm that's hard to shake. Wander the old centre, find a sunny terrace and raise a glass to the evening light.
Beach / Town - 12 km
Famous for its dramatic rock, the Peñón de Ifach, and its long sandy beaches. It gets busy in high season, but once you're settled on the beach with the sea in front of you, that's easy to forget.
Beach / Town - 23 km
A beautiful, more laid-back resort with a fine sandy beach and mainly low-rise buildings. The drive there is half the pleasure — a winding road through pine forests along the coast.
City / Beach - 16 km
Not just high-rises and nightlife — Benidorm also boasts some of the best sandy beaches on the coast, a lively atmosphere and something for every taste.
Shopping - 25 km
Just outside Benidorm, this is your go-to for bigger shopping. Home to a Carrefour (open daily 10–22h), a large air-conditioned mall and a great range of well-known stores.
City / Beach - 90 km
A city well worth a full day out. Stroll the elegant promenade, explore the historic old town and soak up the relaxed Alicante pace — with a cold drink in hand, naturally.
City / Beach - 128 km
About 1.5 hours up the AP-7, Valencia is one of Spain's most vibrant cities. Stunning architecture, incredible food, and a historic centre that draws visitors from all over the world. A wonderful day out.
