Costa Blanca Destination Guide

Costa Blanca

Acclaimed as Spain's "White Coast", the Costa Blanca, aptly takes its name from the 150 miles of soft sandy beaches that attract millions of visitors for classic holidays by the sea

Blue Flag shores, washed by the gentle waves of the Mediterranean and bathed in the warm, sunny climate make this well known Spanish coastline a firm favourite all year round and an ideal option for families of all ages. The variety of resorts also promise perfect places for everyone, from the largest, liveliest holiday towns to smaller, seaside villages.

Holiday in the Costa Blanca for Fun in the Sun, Sangria & Traditional Tapas

From the original "fun in the sun" holiday playground of Benidormto the buzzing and bustling harbour resort of Torrevieja, the Costa Blanca offers endless possibilities for leisure and pleasure, dawn 'til dusk. A "full English" and pint in a pub or traditional Tapas with a sunset sangria, the Costa Blanca is certainly a destination of striking contrasts and this is perhaps the secret of its enduring appeal for so many visitors.

Relax in the Coastal Villages of Costa Blanca

Less well known are the sleepier coastal villages, with winding, whitewashed streets and seafront restaurants to watch the world go by. Within an hour from Benidorm, Altea is among the prettiest, with both a fishing harbour and panoramic hilltop village, while neighbouring Albir provides the perfect setting for a quieter beach holiday.

Cheap Holidays in the Costa Blanca for Fabulous Sandy Bays, Marinas & Pristine Golf Courses

Further to the north, a huge rocky promontory towers above the sandy bays of Calpe and near Torrevieja in the south, discover the beach resorts, marinas and golf courses of Orihuela Costa.
