Costa Blanca holidays
With larger-than-life Benidorm taking centre stage, this iconic Costa is a playground for pleasure-seekers of all ages, all year round. Blue Flag beaches, boat trips, wineries, great golf courses, tonnes of pubs – it’s all here. And you can’t beat a bit of sequin-splashed cabaret or tapas in the Old Town. That’s why it’s such a winner for stag and hen parties. Further up the coast, authentic Spanish scenes await in Calpe and Albir. Plus, there are the lantern-lit bars and art galleries of Alicante to discover, while the nearby mountains hide natural wonders, year-round cycle routes and secret villages. Whether you’re a first-timer or have been holidaying here for years, you’ll find this old-school favourite hasn’t lost its charm.Popular Costa Blanca Holiday Resorts

Stunning coast
The Costa Blanca’s coastline is utterly gorgeous, with never-ending beaches, towering cliffs and tucked-away coves. A little way inland, you’ve got mountains and pine forests, plus the salt marshes that draw in flocks of flamingos and other curious birds. It’s a glorious wild shoreline.
Resorts for everyone
Classic Spanish villages dotted across the Costa Blanca all have their own character. Take Benidorm – it’s the biggest, best-known resort in the area, teeming with life and nightclubs, and couldn’t scream better value if it tried. Albir is more laid-back, while Calpe’s all about authentic España. Foodies will even find Michelin-starred dining options dotted about the region’s resorts.
Vibrant cities
Alicante should be high on your list. Take advantage of the photo opportunities sweeping all the way from up on the hillside to down in the city. Don’t miss the covered markets or golden beaches. Stylish Valencia, with its parks and pretty old town, makes for a brilliant day trip.
Costa Blanca resorts
Benidorm
Pull up a sunlounger and do what Benidorm does best – take life as it comes.
Calpe
This former fishing village is a hit with holidaymakers who like a dose of history with their beach-based relaxation.
Albir
Albir is ideal for sun-seekers who enjoy a relaxed pace in an upmarket area, so it’s certainly the one for a seaside resort with a bit of an edge.
Altea
North of Alicante, this gem put itself on the map back in the 1950s. Still shining today, you’ll be bowled over by its verdant views and stretching valleys – not to mention its unsurprisingly brilliant beaches.
Moraira
This endearing fishing village, surrounded by remarkable rocks and beautiful blue waters, is found in the north-east of the Costa Blanca.
Javea
Nestled between two headlands, this photogenic resort was originally a port used to source fish and minerals. Now, it’s got bags of charm and pulls in people looking for a go-slow retreat.
Beaches
Whether you’re a relaxer or a fun seeker, Costa Blanca’s beaches have something for all. Check out the water sports on Benidorm’s Blue Flag-awarded beach or head to Alicante for 7km of soft golden sand. Calpe’s the place to be if you’re looking for something a bit quieter, and this one’s dotted with bars, restaurants and shops.

Sights
Birdwatchers and nature lovers will find lots to do in Calpe, and the sunset here is truly stunning. History and culture lovers in search of an authentic Spanish experience should head to the old hilltop villages of Altea and Guadalest – straight out of the pages of a fairytale.
