Deciding
where to live in Costa Blanca
We offer properties
across the Costa Blanca, both in coastal areas
and other towns just inland. The coastal towns
of Denia, Moraira and Javea are some of the
most popular choices of expatriates, though
some prefer to live in more peaceful mountain
villages and small towns, such as Jalon (where
Hamiltons main office is located), or the
nearby villages of Parcent and Alcalali, away
from the hustle and bustle. Our selection
covers over 2,000 properties on the Costa
Blanca. You can read more about the
Costa Blanca on our general Costa
Blanca information page, as well as general
amenities and activities across the Costa
Blanca under the "information" heading in
the menu.
Costa Blanca -
Jávea (Xabia)
Jávea, is a
town of great beauty, magical landscapes,
a haven of peace and serenity. Here, Nature
has been so generous and splendid that it
is difficult to find a similar place. The
sea is pure blue, clean and revealing. The
mountain, washed by the Mediterranean sea,
offers us lush vegetation and many local species
of flora and fauna.
Jávea, framed by the Capes of La Nau
and Sant Antoni on the shores of the Mediterranean
sea. The town occupies an area of 68.4 km2.
in the north of the Costa Blanca and is protected
from continental winds by the mountainous
barrier of the Montgó. It has a varied
landscape, both along its 25 kilometres of
coast and inland, a mild climate throughout
the year with an average temperature of 18
ºC, careful urban planning and much to
offer tourists - all waiting in this beautiful
town which has conserved all the charm of
traditional seafaring communities.
Costa Blanca
- Altea/Albir
This part of the coast
is a perfect summing up of all the Costa Blanca’s
positive benefits rolled in to one –
a blend of mountains and sea, historical traditions
and modern facilities, magnificent views and
an abundance of fiestas!
The dramatic Sierra
Bernia mountain range creates not only a stunning
backdrop to the coastline but also creates
its own micro climate, maintaining temperatures
of 15° in the winter and 25° in the
summer.
On the top of the hill in the old town of
Altea you will find the church “Virgen
de Consuelo” which is situated in the
Casa Antigo offering panoramic views of the
coastline and particularly views of the port
with it´s own fishing fleet.
Albir is a cosmopolitan town offering a gastronomic
range of food and drink and there is nothing
more enjoyable than a stroll after dinner
along the promenade enjoying the balmy Mediterranean
breeze.
Costa Blanca - Denia
Denia is a medium-sized town, with its
population near 40,000, with long stretches
of sandy beaches making up the majority of Denia's
20 kilometres of coastline. Also coming under
the town of Denia is the extensive, spread-out
sub-district of Las Marinas, a mostly residential
area, that also has many beachfront bars and
restaurants to relax in. The Denia beach stretches
so far that it is never crowded, even in August,
and the Las Marinas area is not too busy, while
still close to all the features of the Denia
town.
Costa Blanca - La Xara
La Jara, now officially known by its
translation in Valencian dialect as La Xara,
is a pleasant village situated a 2-minute drive
from Denia, that offers a true feeling of the
countryside, in which we have a number of houses.
Slightly inland, it offers the relaxed atmosphere
of country life, while still being only a few
minutes drive from the beach.
Costa Blanca - Calpe
Calpe is home to the Peñón de Ifach,
the highest rock in the Mediterranean, and can
be walked up almost right to the top for a fantastic
view of the sea and surroundings. It has long
sandy beaches, with many beachfront bars and
restaurants, and a number of marinas. It is
a large town, but well spread out, and is surpisingly
quiet for its size.
Costa Blanca - Moraira
A smallish coastal town with a large marina,
sandy beach, a good number of bars, restaurants
and shops. It is situated at the foot of a tall
hill, on the road descending from Benissa, with
many properties offering spectacular views of
the town, sea and picturesque green surroundings
below. A very popular choice for expatriates,
with one of the largest British communities
in relation to its size in the Costa Blanca.
Mountain towns and villages
This category groups the town of Jalon, and
the smaller villages of Alcalali, Parcent, Orba,
Benichembla and Benidoleig. They are all within
a 20 - 30 minute drive of the seaside Costa
Blanca towns of either Denia or Javea, and
are typically Spanish mountain villages in the
surroundings of which we have a number of properties.
An ideal choice for people wishing to enjoy
the sunny climate of Spain, and "get away from
it all" in the complete sense, enjoying the
relaxed Spanish lifestyle, in the peaceful,
picturesque mountains with far less tourism.
However, the towns of Denia and Javea are only
a relatively short distance away, for all the
necessary shops and restaurants.
