Albir

Positioned at the heart of the Costa Blanca and with a ready-made international community, Albir will suit anyone looking to enjoy this hugely popular area at a more relaxed pace.

With the high rises of Benidorm and the nature reserve of the Sierra Helada (Frozen Mountains) to the south, Albir is a purpose-built seaside community where low rise accommodation spreads out along wide tree lined streets. Take a stroll down a tropical boulevard built over a former river and you will emerge at the award-winning beach, Playa de Racó del Albir, truly a place to stretch out and enjoy the beauty of the Costa Blanca.

Unlike many of the resorts that have risen in Benidorm’s wake, you’ll find many distinctive features in Albir, such as a stunning lighthouse accessible by a delightful winding stroll along the edge of the Sierra Helada. Head down to the Paseo de las Estrellas at the right time of year and you could be rubbing shoulders with Spanish movie royalty at the well-established national film festival. Or simply relax in one of the town’s many excellent restaurants which serve food from around the world alongside classic local rice and noodle dishes – and of course freshly caught fish.
