About this property
Altea sits high on the Costa Blanca with a reputation that precedes it: whitewashed old town, a lighthouse on the headland, galleries and restaurants clustered around the church square, and a beach town that hasn't entirely surrendered to the package-holiday machine. This new-build apartment, positioned on the second line back from the shore, sits within walking distance of all that — the beach itself, the promenade cafés, the narrow streets where Spanish families still gather after sunset. The apartment spans 99 m² across two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a bright open-plan living and kitchen area that flows onto a private balcony. The finishes follow the contemporary Spanish new-build formula: large-format porcelain tiling, lacquered fitted cabinetry with integrated appliances, underfloor heating in the bathrooms, pre-installation for ducted air-conditioning and home automation systems. The thermal envelope meets current energy standards, and floor-to-ceiling sliding glass ensures the sea light reaches deep into the living spaces. There's secure parking within the gated development and access to a communal pool and landscaped gardens. Altea itself feels different from its neighbours along the coast. The town has steadily attracted artists, cultural institutions, and a quieter class of European settler — people who bought here fifteen years ago and never left. The restaurants are locally owned; the marina at nearby Altea la Vieja is working, not ornamental. The beaches at Playa del Bol Nou and Playa Paraíso are Blue Flag rated and far less crowded than Benidorm. Alicante Airport lies roughly forty-five minutes south by road; the old town of Valencia is ninety minutes inland. This apartment suits a buyer looking for a second home with genuine livability — a place to spend months rather than weeks. The second-line location offers proximity to the beach without the noise or inflated pricing of beachfront developments. For anyone drawn to Altea's slower tempo and cultural anchoring, it delivers walkable access to the things that make the town work, at a price point that reflects its understated appeal rather than the frantic branding of busier Costa Blanca nodes.
