Gran Alacant – a modern residential area between the beach and the airport with a strong international community
Gran Alacant is one of the most popular residential areas on the southern Costa Blanca for foreign buyers. Located between Santa Pola and Alicante airport, it has grown over the last two decades into a large, well-planned residential community with a mix of new-build homes, good services and excellent links to both the coast and the city.
The location is outstanding — Gran Alacant is only 10 minutes from Alicante airport and around 15–20 minutes from Alicante city. The beaches at Carabassí are a short distance away and are among the finest in the area, making Gran Alacant a very convenient choice for both permanent residence and holiday homes.

The area has become especially popular with Nordic, British, Dutch and Belgian buyers, who have made it their second home or permanent residence.
