Alicante & Costa Blanca Stays

Why stay in Alicante?

Alicante brings together the best parts of a Mediterranean holiday: beaches within walking distance of the city centre, lively restaurants and cafés, historic streets, and an atmosphere that stays relaxed even when there is plenty to do. Wake up near the sea, spend the afternoon exploring, and finish the day with tapas, local rice dishes, or a drink by the marina.

Beach and city in one place

Postiguet Beach sits right beside Alicante’s historic centre, at the foot of Santa Bárbara Castle. Its central location means you can go from sightseeing or shopping to the sand in just a few minutes, then continue along the seafront towards the marina and the iconic Explanada de España.

A castle above the sea

Santa Bárbara Castle rises above the city on Mount Benacantil and offers wide views across Alicante, its harbour, and the Mediterranean. It is one of the city’s most memorable places for a morning walk, a golden-hour visit, or simply seeing Alicante from a different perspective; access is free.

Mediterranean food and evenings

Alicante is made for slow evenings: fresh seafood, tapas to share, local rice dishes, and terraces that stay lively after sunset. The palm-lined Explanada and the marina are ideal for a walk before dinner, while the old town adds small bars, character, and a more local feel.

Easy day trips

Use Alicante as a comfortable base for the Costa Blanca. Visit colourful coastal towns, family-friendly Benidorm, quieter coves, or take a boat trip to Tabarca, the only inhabited island in the Valencian Community, known for clear water, snorkelling, a walled historic centre, and its traditional caldero seafood-and-rice dish.

For every kind of stay
