Costa Blanca holidays

It’s easy to see why holidays on the Costa Blanca or ‘White Coast’, with its wonderful beaches, are popular with millions of holidaymakers each year. From the towns of Denia and Javea in the North of the Costa, to Guardamar and Torrevieja in the South, with the infamous Benidorm and the Alicante in-between, this is Spain at its best. The city of Alicante is so much more than an airport hub, with its whitewashed houses and colourful fishing boats alongside chic boutiques and cocktail bars adding to its sophistication. Benidorm is everything you expect and more, from the sandy beaches, skyscrapers and nightspots contrasting with the authentic Spanish feel of the Old Town. The towns of Denia, with its old town, restaurants and beaches and Javea, with its marina, are perfect for a quiet holiday away from the crowds. The bays of Calpe and Altea are not to be missed along with the delicious chocolate from Villajoyosa south of Benidorm. The Costa Blanca’s healthy climate of lots of sunshine and very little rain makes for an all-year round holiday destination. What's more, flights to the Costa Blanca only take around two hours from most UK departure airports, so a holiday on the Costa Blanca is never too far away.
