Calpe (in Valencian and officially Calp) is an enchanting coastal town located in the Marina Alta region, in the province of Alicante, overlooking the Mediterranean Sea. This former fishing village, full of character and Mediterranean charm, lies under the majestic silhouette of the Peñón de Ifach, an impressive limestone rock rising 332 metres above sea level, rich in vegetation and birdlife. One of the true icons of Calpe and the Costa Blanca, it was declared a Natural Park in 1987.
Calpe is not only a gift for your senses, but it is also very well connected: the Alicante airport is only 75kms away whereas the Valencia airport, to the North, is 130kms from Calpe, enabling fast and easy connections by plane with other European cities. In addition, from the ports of Calpe (Port Pesquer el Racó and Puerto Blanco), the famous islands Ibiza and Mallorca are only 60 nautical miles away.
From the unspoilt coves of El Collao in the far west to the renowned beaches of Arenal-Bol, Cantal Roig, and Levante, Calpe boasts a remarkably diverse coastline. Two sailing clubs and a lively fishing port enhance its authentic maritime atmosphere, while an array of seafront restaurants invite you to savour freshly caught fish and exquisite seafood.
Climbing the Peñón de Ifach, visiting the Real Club Náutico, strolling along the scenic Paseo Ecológico Príncipes de Asturias, enjoying a swim in the historic Baños de la Reina, snorkelling in crystal-clear coves, relaxing on fine sandy beaches, exploring Las Salinas saltflats with the diverse wild bird life, or wandering through the charming old town are just some of the experiences awaiting you in Calpe.
Combining spectacular nature, rich maritime tradition, and the refined Mediterranean lifestyle, Calpe stands out as an exceptional destination, ideal for living, investing, or simply embracing life by the sea.
