Living in Altea
Altea is one of the most distinctive towns on the northern Costa Blanca. Its white old village with the iconic blue-domed church climbs the hillside above the Mediterranean, with narrow lanes, local restaurants and an artistic atmosphere that has set it apart from its neighbours for decades. Along the promenade you will find pebble beaches and a marina, while higher up the hills lie quiet urbanisations with panoramic sea views. Altea is the rustic alternative to the busy Benidorm further along the coast, yet still within easy reach of its amenities. Those who want to explore the region more broadly will find a complete overview in our selection of apartments on the Costa Blanca.
What to expect
Apartments in Altea range from compact flats in the centre and along the promenade to more spacious new-build projects on the hillsides with terraces and sea views. The offer is smaller in scale than in the larger coastal towns, which makes the market more exclusive. Alicante airport is around fifty minutes by car. Altea attracts primarily buyers looking for a permanent home or a second residence in an authentic setting, rather than investors targeting mass tourism. A penthouse in Altea is a popular alternative for those who put the view first.
