About this property
Altea, perched on a hillside where whitewashed old town meets the contemporary waterfront, attracts a particular kind of buyer: someone who values architecture, light, and the slower rhythm of a genuinely artistic town. This two-bedroom apartment sits on the second line of beach, close enough to the Mediterranean rhythm but far enough back to avoid the transient rush. The apartment spans 103 m² across two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and an open kitchen-living area that connects seamlessly through floor-to-ceiling glass doors to a private terrace. The view from that terrace — it's why you're here. New-build finishes follow the contemporary Spanish template: large-format porcelain throughout, handleless cabinetry in soft neutrals, integrated kitchen appliances, pre-installation for climate control and home automation systems, and underfloor heating in both bathrooms. The building itself sits within a gated residential complex with communal landscaping, a pool, and secure parking. Altea punches above its weight. The old town, which climbs the hillside above, is genuinely architectural — narrow lanes, galleries, independent restaurants with actual conviction, a Tuesday market that draws locals not tourists. The beaches here, Los Iros and Paraiso, are quieter than the mega-resorts further south. The Peñón de Ifach at nearby Calpe is visible on clear days and offers some of the best walking on this coast. Alicante Airport runs roughly forty minutes depending on traffic. This apartment fits a couple seeking a more refined corner of the Costa Blanca, or an investor targeting the second-home rental market where cultural cachet translates to consistent bookings. The second-line positioning captures the balance between accessibility and distance — close enough to walk to the beach, far enough to preserve the residential quiet that makes Altea distinct. Handover is expected within the standard 12–18 month development window.
