Altea

Altea is a seaside resort with a soul. For anyone who loves beaches, bars and bohemian living, this is the place for you.

The cultural capital of Valencia, Altea has been a magnet for artists, musicians and writers from across Europe since the 1950s. It’s just a spit up the coast from bustling Benidorm but with an arty vibe that makes it feels a world away.

Walk from the marbled pebble beach past palm tree lined promenades, up through crooked cobbled streets of the old town, past artists’ studios and tempting shops, bars and eateries until you reach the blue domed church of La Mare de Déu del Consol. You’ll discover in Altea the perfect blend of seaside resort, arty enclave and traditional Spanish village.

An extremely pleasant microclimate provided by the surrounding mountains makes Altea a place you can enjoy all year round. Whether you are exploring the beachfront, investigating its historic buildings or enjoying its famed gastronomy, this is somewhere you’ll love to call home.
