Villas in Costa Blanca
91 villas found

It is easy to explore the Costa Blanca and you don’t even need a car! The Alicante to Denia railway line runs for 58 miles along the Northern Coast of the province of Alicante and stops at around 40 stations, so you can visit Denia or Jávea for example, or go to Altea, a charming, medieval town built on a steep hillside and dominated by the blue dome of the church of Virgen del Consuelo. You can also check out Benidorm, still a top holiday destination welcoming millions of visitors every year to enjoy its great beaches and intense nightlife. You can travel to Benidorm by boat from the marina at Calpe – a great way to see the beaches, coves and cliffs of this remarkable coastline.

If your holiday would be incomplete without a few rounds of golf, you have come to the right place! Golf is a very big deal in Spain and at present there are 13 golf courses on the Costa Blanca which are affiliated to the Spanish Federation and can validate members’ handicaps internationally. Club de Golf Ifach, 2 miles from Calpe is part of the San Jaime Urbanisation in Moraira, and a good place to start, but you need to have a valid handicap certificate from your home club with you. It is a 9-hole course with a spectacular view looking back to the Peñón de Ifach. With just one putting green, it is one of the smaller courses around. However, it is deceptively difficult and not for the faint hearted! Javier Arana created the Ifach Club course to be short and tricky with numerous obstacles, so if you like a challenge, this may be for you.

For the very fit there is a walking route through a tunnel in the rock that takes you right to the top where the views over the bay are extraordinary. On a clear day you can see as far as Ibiza.
