Costa Blanca

Costa Blanca: sunshine, sea and quality of life all year round

The Costa Blanca, located in the province of Alicante, is one of the most sought-after destinations to live, invest, or enjoy a second home in Spain. Famous for its Mediterranean climate, its coastline with crystal-clear waters and its relaxed lifestyle, this region offers an ideal setting both for those seeking peace and quiet, and for lovers of the sea, golf and nature.

With over 300 days of sunshine per year, international services and a wide variety of properties for sale, Costa Blanca has become one of the most attractive areas to buy property in Spain. Every year, thousands of Europeans choose this Mediterranean corner to start a new life by the sea.

Where is the Costa Blanca?

Costa Blanca stretches for around 244 kilometres along the coast of the province of Alicante, from Denia (in the north) to Pilar de la Horadada (in the south). This coastline is informally divided into two main areas:

Northern Costa Blanca

Known for its mountainous landscapes, hidden coves and charming villages. The most notable towns include Altea, Calpe, Jávea, Benissa, Moraira and Denia. This area is generally quieter, with a more exclusive and natural character, highly valued by those looking for a more authentic and private residential setting.

Southern Costa Blanca

Flatter and more open to the sea, with fine sandy beaches and long stretches of coastline ideal for sunbathing and swimming. Towns such as Torrevieja, Orihuela Costa, Guardamar del Segura and Pilar de la Horadada offer a wide range of holiday and investment properties. Inland areas such as Ciudad Quesada, Algorfa and Rojales are also popular among foreign buyers.
