Costa Blanca North – unique charm from Altea to Villajoyosa
The stretch from Altea down to Villajoyosa is one of the most sought-after parts of the Costa Blanca — where natural beauty, a relaxed atmosphere and modern comforts come together perfectly.

Altea
In Altea you'll find classic Spanish charm — whitewashed houses, narrow streets and stunning views over the Mediterranean. It's a town that draws artists and anyone wanting to enjoy a peaceful, beautiful setting full of character.
Albir
Nearby is Albir, a popular area among foreign buyers with everything close at hand — a beautiful seafront promenade, good restaurants and convenient everyday services. Perfect for both holidays and long-term living.
La Nucía
A little inland, just a short distance from the beach, is La Nucía, which has become an increasingly popular choice. Here you get more space, a quieter setting and often better property prices — without giving up easy access to the coast. The area is particularly popular with families and year-round residents.
Finestrat
Right next to Benidorm you'll find Finestrat, which has developed rapidly in recent years. It offers new, modern apartments and villas with dramatic views over the sea and the city. The area is especially exciting for investors and anyone wanting a new build with every modern comfort.
Benidorm
While Benidorm is known for its lively atmosphere and long sandy beaches, the surrounding area also offers quieter neighbourhoods and lovely properties to suit a wide range of needs.
Villajoyosa
Further south, Villajoyosa welcomes you with its colourful houses, charming old town and relaxed Spanish atmosphere. It's a genuinely Spanish experience — that little bit more homely. Villajoyosa is also the home and birthplace of Valor chocolate.
