About this property
Altea's old town climbs a hillside in white-washed terraces, and this new-build apartment sits on the second line of the beach, close enough to hear the Mediterranean but far enough back to enjoy the village's pace. Two bedrooms, two bathrooms, 103 m² of floor space designed around the kind of openness that defines contemporary Spanish coastal living. The layout flows from a generous entrance hall through an open-plan kitchen and living area with floor-to-ceiling sliders that frame the sea view and pour light across pale porcelain tiling. The principal bedroom takes the sea aspect; the second sits on the quieter side, overlooking the street or communal gardens. Both bathrooms have been finished with underfloor heating and contemporary fixtures. The specification is clean and durable: integrated air-conditioning pre-installation, ducted ventilation, matte cabinetry, large-format porcelain throughout. There's a storage room and an assigned parking space within the secure building, which provides lift access and a landscaped communal garden with a pool. Altea itself has resisted the drift towards mass tourism that defines much of the Costa Blanca. The narrow streets of the casco antiguo still hold independent galleries, bookshops, and restaurants where locals outnumber visitors even in August. The beaches here curve into coves rather than sprawl; the Paseo Marítimo is planted and walkable rather than chaotic. Alicante Airport sits around forty-five minutes south by road. The surrounding coastline — Benidorm's nightlife to the south, the quieter villages of La Nucia and Polop inland — offers variety without requiring you to leave. This apartment is built for someone seeking a second home with character, or a rental investment in a town where the market has proved steady through cycles. The second-line position is the decisive detail: close enough to the beach to make daily walks habitual, distant enough from the seafront noise to feel like genuine home rather than a hotel pad. The scale of the building keeps that balance, and at this price-point and orientation, that's increasingly difficult to find along this coast.
