Why choose Altea

Holiday villas in Altea, Costa Blanca

Altea is often described as one of the most beautiful villages on the Costa Blanca: a hilltop old town of whitewashed houses and cobbled streets, crowned by the blue-tiled domes of its church. It has a long tradition of artists and craftspeople, a relaxed seafront and the Sierra de Bernia just behind it.

Beaches and coves

Pebble beaches and coves with crystal-clear water, such as Cap Negret and La Olla, ideal for snorkelling.

Sea and water sports

Sailing and water sports from Altea’s marinas, plus kayaking and diving along the coast towards Mascarat.

Food and restaurants

Rice dishes and fresh fish on the seafront, and small restaurants and terraces in the old town.
