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.
