Set far enough back from Arenal beachfront to avoid the hustle and bustle, yet with the sandy shores a mere five-minute walk away, this apartment treats you to the best of both worlds. While the view from the private balcony is out onto the road and apartments opposite, you can still enjoy a peek of the sea. It’s also a nice spot for an evening glass of sangria. And if you need to cool off but don’t fancy the beach, the communal pool is just the ticket for a refreshing dip.

Private Entrance

Smack bang in the heart of delightful Dénia, this no-fuss apartment is perfect for couples or solo travellers looking for some rest and relaxation on the Costa Blanca. Inside, the place strikes a balance between comfort and function. There’s a compact kitchen equipped for quick meals and a quiet bedroom to ensure a peaceful sleep night after night. But it was the view that was our favourite part. We could’ve spent hours on that modular chair, watching the palm trees sway and the boats to and fro from the harbour, only breaking our gaze to open a bottle of Rioja as the sun sets. Spend mornings exploring your locale – you’re a ten-minute walk from the Dénia Castle and eighteen minutes from the Marineta Casiana Beach. If you’re feeling curious, take the twenty-minute drive to Parc Natural del Montgó for stunning hiking routes or catch the ferry from the port to the dazzling Balearic Islands.

If you’re planning a sunny getaway with a group of family or friends, this elegant villa set in Montgó natural park will tick every one of your holiday boxes. Inside, this home oozes sophistication. A light colour palette combines beautifully with wicker and painted wooden furniture, keeping the whole space bright and inviting, while original features such as exposed beams and stone arches add a touch of character. At the heart of the villa lies the generous open-plan living, kitchen and dining area, and it’s easy to see that this home was designed as a space for family and friends to gather. The sleek, modern kitchen is one you’ll want to cook in, and you’ll be surrounded by your loved ones as you rustle up a feast.

The outside space jostles for attention with the interior, and it would be hard to choose a winner. We love the outdoor seating areas – whether you’ve chosen to enjoy a meal on the covered terrace or you’re simply tucked up on the sofa taking a quiet five minutes to yourself, the view is framed perfectly by the arches. You’ll find it hard to drag yourself away from this tranquil spot. 

For those seeking a bit more action, the sun glistening off the surface of the pool is bound to invite you in for a swim, after which you can stretch out on a sun lounger with the mountains as your backdrop. With petanque, table tennis and a full-size clay tennis court, you’ll never be lost for something to do. With the beauty of nature wrapping around you, here, you’ve found a little slice of Spanish paradise.

Just a three minute walk to the nearest sandy beach of Arenal, you'll be spoilt for choice when it comes to choosing somewhere for dinner, a morning coffee, or a glass of sangria as you watch the world go by. There is also a rocky beach just a stone's throw from the apartment, where you can enjoy excellent snorkelling, scuba diving and fishing. The pretty port and historic old town of Javea is just three kilometres away, and you'll find two prestigious golf courses within around a twenty minute radius.

Whether you've spent that day playing a few holes, soaking up the southern Spanish sunshine on your favourite local beach, or exploring the beguiling backstreets of Javea – unmistakably Spanish with their whitewashed houses adorned with bright swathes of bougainvillea – you can always return to the comfort and calm of this home away from home. Cook up something tasty in the kitchen (we especially love preparing a steam pan of Arroz a la Banda, Alicante’s take on typical paella), before heading out onto the balcony that overlooks the communal swimming pool, perhaps breaking out the board games to while away the evening as dusk turns into a star-speckled night.

Located just a short walk from the sandy beaches of Calpe and the coastal peak of Penyal d'Ifac Natural Park, this modern villa with views of the mountains provides a seamless mix of indoor and outdoor living. The home centres around the ample garden with its modern pool, alfresco diner, and external lounge that connects via sliding glass doors to the comfortable living room, making the perfect social space to enjoy sunny afternoons and evenings. Each of the bedrooms also features access to their own balcony or patio, adding an extra sense of privacy and luxury.

This charming villa with views of the Montgó, otherwise known as the Elephant, is a great setting to spend quality time with your loved ones. With mostly ensuite bedrooms, a private pool and a room to work out in, it has a lot going for it. We like the various sunny and shaded outdoor seating areas – with the poolside marquis being our favourite spot. The centre of Beniarbeig, with its shops and restaurants, is within walking distance of the villa and the nearest beach of Denia is only a short drive away. 

Views Of The Elephant

Marina Alta is a coastal region that can please just about everyone  – from history buffs to beach bums, and hikers to urbanites, this region of Spain isn’t just all about waterside delights. Just a ten-minute drive inland from the picturesque town of Altea (and don’t worry, you will pass beaches en route), you’ll love unwinding in this zen-like villa. 

Traditional whitewashed walls and a terracotta roof are right on par with what you might expect in the area. But as you step inside, passing interesting shrubbery and succulents outside, the vibe is altogether more modern. We love the fresh and bright living space, with a cherry-red sofa suite and an ornately carved, wooden cabinet. Oversized bamboo canes and a woven lampshade complete the look as you move to the sunroom – a striking cylindrical structure that really sets the architecture apart from rustic traditions.

From here, peer out to your secluded gardens. Lush, green, and shaded by palms, the immaculate lawn surrounds a private, heated pool. Wander around to find orange trees popping up in the grass, and terracotta tiles leading up a staircase to the roof terrace – it's much easier to survey your kingdom from up here.

La Taronja

Espresso Machine

Whether you're splashing in the private pool, tucking into an alfresco feast on the covered terrace or lounging with a book in the sun, this bright villa on the outskirts of Jávea promises plenty of rest, relaxation and fun. With two living areas, three bedrooms, a glossy kitchen and a lovely terrace fit for entertaining, there's more than enough space here to make yourself at home. Start the day with a coffee on the outdoor sofa, then jump in the pool to cool off. Throw open the patio doors and seamlessly move between the terrace and the sleek living space, enjoying lunch around the dining table as you feel the breeze on your skin. Pick up some fresh seafood from the fish auction every afternoon, then fire up the grill in the evenings as the sun goes down. Don't feel like cooking? Drive ten minutes into Jávea and enjoy dinner on the water – there are heaps of cafes, bars and restaurants to tickle your fancy. And, of course, a trip to Alicante isn't complete without a day at the beach – Playa Delarenal's wide sandy shore is eleven minutes by car, but we prefer the quiet cove of Platja de la Granadella, eight minutes away.

Lemon Coloured Cove

There is something truly magical about this corner of Spain – maybe it’s the white, sandy beaches, the stunning views, or the vibrant culture. Staying at this gorgeous villa, nestled amidst lush greenery and overlooking the breathtaking sea vistas will allow you to experience all of the above. 

Even before stepping through the front door, you’ll be charmed by the vast garden and pool area, which boast magnificent panoramas and offer peace and tranquillity. There is a pool house here, too, so you can get yourself prepared for an afternoon of lounging about, catching up on your holiday reads and working on your tan. The outdoor barbecue oven and dining area make it an ideal spot for enjoying delicious alfresco meals with your family and friends.

Come inside and feel instantly embraced by the home’s cosy vibe – we love the stone floors and wooden details, not to mention the charming fireplace, which can offer added warmth should a chillier night catch you by surprise. The plush, comfy bedrooms carry the promise of a restful night’s sleep – wake up refreshed and enjoy your breakfast on the upstairs terrace, taking in the wonderful views of the seaside and the surrounding mountains. 

Once you’re ready to head out and explore, the area has plenty of exciting activities in store. From horse riding and cycling, to golfing, surfing and sailing – there are numerous options to choose from, all within a fifteen-minute drive from the house. If you prefer to simply relax and enjoy the beach, head out to the gorgeous El Arenal, a mere six minutes away by car.  


With a View to Dream

This is a villa that will have even the most hard-to-please guests grinning. A lot of that is down to its fabulous views of the glistening Mediterranean and Isla del Portitxol, but special praise also goes to the peaceful swimming pool surrounded by treetops and the covered terrace complete with an alfresco dining table. Although some of the bathrooms are a little dated, we've only got kind words for the three-level layout – we particularly love the main bedroom with a sea-facing balcony. To top it all off, you don't have far to venture for beautiful gold-sand beaches, either.

The Spanish Riviera

This charming, characterful and quintessentially Spanish home boasts a private garden and alfresco dining area as well as plenty of indoor-outdoor seating and a balcony from which to admire the stunning, surrounding countryside. Featuring a fully equipped kitchen and an open plan dining cum living room – think whitewashed walls adorned with paintings and decorative plates, wooden doors, window frames, shutters and beautiful beamed ceilings – this captivating casa is simply sensational. 

You’ll love this artfully decorated home for its inimitable interiors as well as its carefully curated indoor-outdoor and open-air spaces. Take your morning cup of coffee out on the balcony, whip up family-sized feasts in the kitchen and dine alfresco on the patio. Laze on loungers in the sun or shade, whatever floats your boat, before a sneaky sundowner back up on the balcony and a sofa session in front of the wood burning stove. 

Alternatively, spend the day at one of the best swimming pool complexes in Jávea complete with waterslides and kid friendly pools as well as seasonal café and games room. Play at paddle tennis or, if you’re more in the mood for a leisurely stroll, you’ll be able to reach the rocky coves of Cala Blanca and the Montañar II seafront in five minutes. Sandy Arenal beach is also no more than ten minutes away, what could be more blissful?

It's plain to see that somebody with a real eye for design has worked their magic on this townhouse found in the coastal town of Calp. Everywhere you look inside, there are tasteful touches, from the dining table made from a repurposed door and the unashamedly bright colours on the walls to the sheer range of objets d'art dotted about the home.

We're also happy to say that there's plenty of substance behind this style. The sleek black kitchen not only looks the part, but it's also well-equipped for whipping up a feast. We're also fond of the terrace, which has views out over the rooftops and verdant hillsides beyond.

When you're ready to get to know the locale a little better, you'll be surprised at how much there is to see. All of three minutes' walk from the home is Torreó de la Peça, the centuries-old defensive walls built to protect the town from marauders. Arena-Bol beach is a ten-minute walk, while further along the coastline, it's possible to head up to the top of Penyal d'Ifac in just over an hour on foot for some incredible views. 

Art Lives Here

There’s a playful charm to this peach-pink villa on the outskirts of the northern port city of Dénia. We love the pretty curved archways shading the patio terrace – the perfect spot for morning coffees and sunny views of the surrounding villas and palm-lined swimming pool below. Head inside for an open-plan living room and dining area with tiled-flooring, comfy furnishings and homely rugs creating a sociable yet homely ambience. Back outside, you’ll revel in your private al fresco dining area or late-afternoon snoozing spot, with the turquoise pool water beckoning you in for a cooling dip. This villa sits in a tranquil residential area where you’ll be a twenty-minute walk from Costa Blanca’s warm golden sand beaches. Benefitting from a host of restaurants and bars, the 200-kilometre-long vibrant and built-up shore is known for its buzzing nightlife and evening entertainment. Well-positioned, a stay here offers you that precious downtime with the option of big exciting trips into town. 

Pastel Strokes

Hot Tub

If you’re looking for an authentic coastal town, this home’s location is bound to impress. Situated in Jávea, you’ll be just five kilometres from sandy beaches and the Medieval streets of the old town. Situated high up in the hills, you’ll have plenty of peace, privacy and incredible views over the mountains and valley, but bear in mind that a car is necessary to reach the villa. If you’d rather not venture out, three levels offer plenty of space to relax, plus a garden containing a private pool and Jacuzzi for those alfresco evenings. 

Hillside History 

This spacious and well-located villa is a good option for a family or group of friends wanting to holiday in Denia, Costa Blanca. There's a fully equipped kitchen and comfortable living room area to relax in – albeit a little dated in terms of decor. Equipped for all seasons, there's a fireplace for cooler evenings and air conditioning for the summer months. We love the lawned gardens surrounding this family-friendly home – they boast superb sea and mountain views and include a large private pool and BBQ area too. While you can explore the local area on foot, we suggest a car for ease – Parc Natural del Montgó is less than 2km from the villa.

Waves & Water

If you're looking for a Spanish getaway with that all-important sea, mountain or valley view, well, we're happy to say this place has all three. There are multiple terraces, perfect for capturing the view from every angle, and topping up the tan. The beautiful living space blends traditional Spanish and contemporary styles with tasteful furnishings that will make you feel right at home. Whip up some tapas in the modern kitchen – try not to be distracted by the panoramic views from the large window – or if you prefer to cook alfresco, fire up the barbecue. After a long, lazy lunch, go for a dip in the glistening pool or explore the wildlife garden – that's what holidays are all about. There's plenty to do out and about if you fancy seeing more of the area. Pego is a family-friendly resort, while nearby Parque Natural de la Marjal de Pego-Oliva is a paradise for walkers and birders alike.

Spanish Bluebell

With a sprawling garden and terrace – ideal for delicious dinners under the stars or a snooze on the outdoor sofa – a sparkling pool and plenty of room to spread out, this home checks all the boxes for a laid-back coastal stay. The light, bright interiors make the most of that sunlight and have plenty of beautiful ceramics and sculptures from all over the world to admire. The local resort provides plenty for those who want to get out and about, with bakeries and cafes within ambling distance – perfect for breakfast pastry pickups – climbing, hiking, surfing and sailing for the adventurous, weekly markets and fiestas and festivals if you come at the right time of the year. You're also just over one kilometre from the powdery beaches the Costa Blanca is known for – grab a deck chair and don't move for a while.

Wavelengths

Located in a popular destination in the eastern part of Spain, this home is the perfect base for a beach holiday. The sand and sea are a five-minute drive away, or if you want to make sure you hit your 10,000 steps a day, it’s a half hour walk. In classic resort town style, you’ll find a disco, local eateries, and places to practice your salsa moves nearby. If you want to hole up and not leave the apartment, you'll find plenty to keep you entertained. From the flat-screen TV to the large garden and your very own private pool, there is every chance you'll stay put. After practicing your strokes in the pool, fire-up the barbecue for lunch on the shaded terrace. Feeling tired? The locals strongly believe in a siesta, and we can't agree with the concept more. Happy dreaming.

Belleza del Sur

With sea views and plenty of spots to soak up the rays, this villa makes an ideal Costa Blanca retreat. Everyone will enjoy the swimming pool, while the covered terrace and sun-kissed sitting area are perfect for dinner and drinks in the coastal breeze. Sure, the design isn't the most modern, but there's a lot of room to spread out inside – not to mention it's kitted out with everything you need for a fuss-free stay. A car is a must here, as this home is located in the hills above the town. Still, it's just a short drive to Jávea's beaches, restaurants, and buzzing centre.

Get lost in an infinity of blue as this Spanish haven offers breathtaking views over the Mediterranean Sea. Up high, in an elevated position, you'll feel on top of the world when staying here. We particularly love the private terrace area – overlooking the cliff edge, you'll get to lap up in vistas of both the landscape and the sparkling seascape from morning through to night. 

Inside the apartment, you'll find clean lines and contemporary furnishings that create a luxurious setting to soak up the laid-back beachside lifestyle of the surrounding locale. Designed around leisure, the apartment complex features an indoor and outdoor pool, a fitness room and a hammam and sauna room - all for guests to use at their own disposal. 

Situated in Benitachell, just a ten-minute drive away from Moraig Beach, you'll be in a prime position for exploring the sandy shores of the Alicante coastline – with plenty of shops, bars and waterfront restaurants waiting to be discovered. 


Blue Infinity

White-pillared and glass-fronted, this spectacular villa juts out of the mountain like a princess-cut diamond on a gold band. Sharp lines and clean spaces characterise this modern home, from the cavernous living room with its all-cream furniture and UFO-shaped skylights to the bright bedrooms. Artwork, in stark contrast, is bold with huge colourful prints hung in each room. We won't be surprised if you miss all those details, however, as it's the views that will have you enraptured. Looking out over the Mediterranean ocean, the home has floor-to-ceiling windows for uninterrupted panoramas – from the master bed when you wake up to your mid-afternoon soak in the standalone bathtub. Head out for a closer inspection, with a blue infinity pool to make you feel like you're floating, while the upstairs balcony is unbeatable for watching the sunset.

Spicy Red

Outdoor Kitchen

With easy access to eateries and bars, this villa invites your family to stay two kilometres from the Castillo de Moraira and a small-town promenade. Come and sunbathe on Platja de l'Ampolla before driving inland to Costa Blanca's most famous climb at Coll de Rates. Once you return to the driveway, you'll see that this home revolves around its outside space. On the terrace, there's a barbecue and a little outdoor kitchen, so you can enjoy poolside snacks and sip sundowners with sea views.

The Golden Melody

Playground

The coastal town of Calp is a real glistening pearl of the Marina Alta province. With archaeological sites and historic fortresses sitting alongside bustling streets of cafés and bars, this town is a vibrant community in the sun – and of course there’s a fabulous beach. Just a six-minute walk from Playa el Arenal-Bol, this modern apartment is a perfect urban retreat. 

Looking up from below at this striking white building, it almost has the nautical feel of a towering, luxury yacht. It has curved balconies and railings wrapping around every floor, and glass doors letting the sunlight flood in at every level – but at the very bottom, the swimming pool adds to this marina vibe. Let the kids splash about here (or roam the playground, or play table tennis) while you head to the sixth floor to check out the interiors.

Fresh, bright, and modern, the living space has a Scandi rather than Spanish feel. Wooden floors and minimalist furniture look classy in the lounge, while sleek white cabinets bring a clean, futuristic look to the kitchen. And best of all – a huge private balcony with panoramic views of the city, ocean, and landscapes beyond. 

The Top Deck

This single-level, modern villa on the Costa Blanca has all the ingredients for a great holiday. There are a good-sized private pool, nice garden and several terraces to enjoy – one of which is covered for some alfresco dining. The living room and bedrooms all have air conditioning and there is a woodburner for those chillier days. You can go sightseeing or soak up some culture in the nearby town of Moraira. For the adventure-seekers, there are activities such as snorkelling, kayaking and wind-surfing five kilometres down the road. 

Spanish Chic

Heated Pool

Wheelchair Access

Immediately, this home is a sight to behold. An impressive contemporary design of sharp edges and white stone stands bold against pine-clad hillside. Inside, light and airy bedrooms are maximised by enormous sliding doors that open out onto a wrap-around balcony. Downstairs, the open-plan living space exudes sophisticated minimalism. Clean, simple lines flow onto the terrace, where you're greeted with a burst of technicolour. The pool, sky and ocean on the horizon shimmer in all shades of blue, while the garden blooms a verdant green. Bring up a bottle of red from the wine cellar and sit out in the sun on a lounger or around the dining table, snacking on cured meats and chatting about nothing in particular. The charming town of Xàbia is just a ten-minute drive away – here you can deliberate between restaurants that serve the best of Spanish cuisine before heading home to catch a pastel sunset. No matter which spot you choose, indoor or outdoor, the views across the landscape are second to none. 


Vista Tranquila

Sonos

Ideally located a ten-minute walk from Platja de l'Arenal, this boho-chic is all about beach days and relaxing in style. Linen, wood, wicker and concrete make up the interiors, creating a calming environment that’s a pleasure to spend time in. Two balconies call for mornings to be spent outside – tuck into your breakfast accompanied by views overlooking the glittering Mediterranean or puzzle over a crossword as you idly sip an espresso. 

In the afternoon, float about in the cool water of the communal pool. Or why not jump in the car and explore Spain’s southeastern coast? Head into Dénia for a trip back in time at the Archaeological Museum followed by a sunbathing session on the soft sands of Platja de les Marines. 

Time Moves Slowly

Nestled in a quiet spot in Altea, this villa has a private pool, three floors and two terraces to stretch your legs on. While some of the furnishings might be a little dated, the views from the bedrooms' balconies are fantastic.  The outdoor amenities make this home shine, with a lush garden to tire out the kids, sunbeds for the grown-ups, and alfresco dining facilities. Altea la Vieja is a brisk twenty-minute walk from your doorstep, known for its restaurants and golf course.

Swimming in the Shade

This modern villa boasts an incredible location with an infinity swimming pool and stunning views of the Mediterranean coastline below. Spend your days soaking up the sun on one of the loungers, or bag a retro stripy deckchair in the shade and dive into the pool when the heat gets to you. Or, with the beach just a five-minute drive away, perhaps you'd rather relax on the sand. Have a light lunch at home or head to the town for some tapas, with everything from traditional Valencian restaurants to quirky eateries on your doorstep. Return home to catch those spectacular sunsets and cook a barbecue as the sun sets over the sea, turning the sky pink and silhouetting the rugged islands off the coast. A huge sliding wall of glass separates the indoor living space with the outdoors, so there’s plenty of opportunity to cook in the sleek, modern kitchen and serve under the parasols on the pool terrace. Each bedroom has its own access to the garden or the terrace so there’ll be no short straws when it’s time to decide who sleeps where.

Blue Eternity

Set against an eye-catching mountain backdrop, this home comprises two separate villas rented out together, so is a great choice for two families or groups of friends holidaying together. As well as a private pool, the lush gardens have lots of extra features, including a yoga gazebo, Balinese day bed, and fruit tree orchard. And inside, there’s plenty of space for everyone to find a bit of privacy when they want it. Location-wise, the villa is near a twenty-seven-hole golf course and a day spa, with the tourist destinations of Denia and Javea also within easy reach.

Shade of the Sun

This seaside haven in the heart of Javea Port is our kind of heaven. Tucked away and yet mere moments from La Grava beach, this ground floor two-bedroom home is pure boho-beach chic. Featuring a lovely, light filled open plan kitchen cum dining and living room, courtesy of floor to ceiling sliding glass doors which open out onto a cosy courtyard, this artful home boasts both style and substance. Nods to the nautical meet whitewashed walls and windows shutters while brand spanking new cabinetry meets worn wooden furniture, woven basket lights and colourful framed prints. 

Undoubtedly the star of the show, however, is the interior courtyard, with its traditional Tosca stone walls and Spanish style tiled floor – the perfect relaxing retreat come morning, noon or night. You’ll love rising early to catch the sunrise before taking your morning coffee out into the courtyard. Host cook offs and gather around the dining table for sociable meal times or head out for hours of sun-baked fun at the beach before meandering along to one of the many local seaside cafes for fresh food and uninterrupted Mediterranean views. 


Boho-Beach Chic

The green vistas and pretty enclosed gardens of this traditional villa perched on the hillsides of Javea are charming. Well-geared for family holidays close to the sea, kids will love you for that outdoor playground and trampoline, and you'll all appreciate those shady terraces and private pool when it's time to beat the heat. Location-wise, you're just a five-kilometre drive to the horseshoe-shaped El Arenal Beach. With shallow waters and gently shelving sands, it's perfect for little ones. 

Casa de Sal

This villa caught our eye for its incredible sea views – and with five terraces and three balconies, there are plenty of spots to enjoy them from. You’ve also got a private pool and the use of a fitness centre and sauna to make your stay even more enjoyable. Inside, the contemporary living spaces offer ocean vistas and all of the bedrooms are ensuite for added privacy. The historic town of Javea, with its many shops, restaurants and tapas bars, is a 10km drive away and if you fancy eating in, your host can help arrange a cooking service so you won’t have to lift a finger.

Ocean Vistas

Situated just a short drive from the coastal town of Moraira, this modern villa is a great base for a family stay on the Costa Blanca. You’ll need a car to reach the beach and explore the local area, but you’ll also have fabulous sea views to take advantage of back home. Our eye was immediately drawn to the outdoor areas – hello, private pool – and the villa's stylish and light-filled interiors are the icing on the cake. There are some steep stairs to climb inside, though – it may not suit guests with reduced mobility.

The Seaside Story

Fancy sleeping under the watchful eye of a gaggle of guardian angels? This modern and stylish home on the Costa Blanca offers just that. An understated, contemporary interior is punctuated with some fun, bold design features, including a Michaelangelo-inspired bedroom ceiling – so you’re guaranteed to be under the bluest of skies. But with around 300 days of sunshine a year in these parts, you’ll probably want to make the most of the real thing. That’s easy to do on the sunny, elevated terrace, with its cool blue infinity pool and views of the Mediterranean sea. Set in a quiet residential area just a short drive from the centre of Moraira, a small, family-friendly holiday resort, you’ll be minutes from the beach and the heart of this small town. Shop in the local market and pick up the freshest of fish for an al fresco feast. Fire up the barbecue and cool down with a cava as the sun goes down. It’s just like heaven. 

Blue Heaven

With picturesque views over the bay and mountains of Benitachell offers a scenic stay in the heart of Costa Blanca. You'll find sandy beaches such as Cala Moraig just a short drive away, along with many hiking and cycling routes within proximity. Due to its low-key location, renting a car here is advised to make the most of the surrounding coastline and resort towns. Meanwhile, you'll find home comforts and privacy at the villa. From the private swimming pool to the open sun terrace and the sheltered alfresco dining spot, there are plenty of places to relax before the views. The outdoor barbecue and kitchen are where you'll likely want to be at meal times. 




Spanish Style

This beautifully-styled home offering panoramic sea views deserves to be at the top of your list if you’re looking for a home just footsteps from the beach. The sandy shores of Granadella, with its seafront restaurants, are just a flip-flop away. A great choice for friends or couples sharing, each bedroom offers direct access to the top-floor balconies, so there's no need to tussle for the best room. While that private pool and sun-kissed terrace for alfresco barbecues are all about socialising. It’s worth noting that while the hillside setting is magnificent, you’ll need to navigate a steep driveway. However, there’s roadside parking for the less confident drivers out there.

Marigold Moon

This simple, fuss-free apartment is an ideal retreat for a coastal family getaway. It may not be the biggest, but it’s well-equipped and comfortable, with the sun-drenched balcony an added bonus. For some respite from the Costa Blanca sun, the communal swimming pool is a welcome sight, framed by towering palm trees. If you prefer not to drive, a car’s not essential here. A short walk from the apartment and you’ll find a selection of shops and restaurants, or for a stroll on sandy shores, Platja de l'Arenal beach is just 800 metres away. 

A Dream in White

With a stripped-back, fuss-free interior, the beauty of this home lies on the outside. If your Costa Blanca holiday is all about topping up your tan, the sun-soaked terraces will be a welcome sight – as will the private pool and Mediterranean Sea views, which stretch all the way to Ibiza on a clear day. With a whole host of outdoor activities available within five kilometres of the villa, you’ll never be short of things to do. Or, for a more laid-back day trip, enjoy a leisurely stroll through the Granadella nature reserve to a charming pebble beach, just twenty minutes away.
