Holiday Homes & Rentals on the Costa Blanca

Want to relax soaking up the sun on a sandy beach or take a dip in the vivid blue waters of the Mediterranean Sea? The most popular beaches are Granadella in Jávea, Carabassí in Elche, Caleta in Villajoyosa, El Cura in Torrevieja and Levante in Benidorm. Travelling with family and kids? You’ll love the amusement and theme parks, nature hikes, nautical activities, castles, natural caves and many more options that will make your stay unforgettable. Take a glass-bottomed boat ride to the spectacular marine reserve of Isla de Tabarca, an islet close to the seaside town of Santa Pola, and spend a memorable day there. Shop to your heart’s content. Savour the local delicacies at a beachfront grill. Drink some ice-cold horchata in a sidewalk cafe. Take a leisurely stroll along the beautiful palm-lined promenade in the city of Alicante. Go nightclubbing to chill out after a fun-filled day exploring. Still need more reasons to pack a suitcase?

But beyond the sun, sea and sand, the region boasts a rich history that you can discover at your leisure. From its perch high above Benidorm, the blue-and-white-tiled Placa del Castell offers breathtaking views of the beaches and bays below. Or climb the 166 metres (544 feet) above sea level to Santa Barbara Castle for a panoramic lookout over Alicante bay. Originally built in the late 9th century, the castle’s fortress walls are still preserved atop Mount Benacantil and houses a historical museum; you can also visit the archaeological remains of the Bronze Age and dungeon or take a guided castle tour. More into botany? El Palmeral is the largest palm grove in Europe and one of the largest in the world. Walk among the cool shade of its more than 11,000 palm trees, some of which are up to 300 years old!
