About this property
Altea climbs the hillside in whitewashed tiers, its church dome visible from nearly anywhere on the coast. This new-build apartment sits on the second line of beach, close enough to the waterfront that the morning light comes with the sound of the Mediterranean, far enough back that the pace is neighbourly rather than frantic. The apartment spans 99 m² across two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and an open kitchen-living area that extends onto a generous terrace. The orientation captures southern and eastern light through floor-to-ceiling sliding glass. Finishes follow the contemporary Spanish template: large-format porcelain tiling, matt cabinetry with integrated appliances, pre-ducted air-conditioning, underfloor heating in both bathrooms, and a thermally efficient envelope that keeps summer heat at bay. The building wraps a communal pool and landscaped garden; parking is assigned within the secure basement. Altea itself has resisted the homogenisation that flattened much of the Costa Blanca. The old town remains genuinely lived-in, its cobbled lanes still busy with Spanish families and long-term expats, the galleries and small restaurants a genuine extension of local life rather than tourist theatre. The beach here is broad and backed by a paseo lined with pines. The natural parks of Sierra de Bernia are reachable in an hour on foot; Polop's white villages and mountain walks are closer. Alicante Airport sits around fifty minutes' drive south. An apartment at this density, this distance from the sand, in a town that has stayed itself, appeals to the buyer looking for genuine seasonal living rather than a pure investment slot. At €530,000, this one carries the price of location earned slowly, not inflated overnight.
