The Costa Blanca is generally best known for the high-rise package holiday resort of Benidorm. Still, it is so much more than that, with many luxury and exclusive locations for those who seek a more relaxed and indulgent Spanish lifestyle. There are, therefore, a variety of luxury villas for sale on the Costa Blanca, but these range widely enough in price to accommodate a variety of budgets. The Costa Blanca North continues to attract buyers from across Europe looking for a permanent home, holiday property or investment in one of Spain's most desirable coastal regions.
Denia is a cosmopolitan town with a seafaring history. The port area offers moorings to sailing jetsetters, and many will then also decide to buy a property on land close to the marina. The Las Rotas area between Denia and Javea has wonderful coastal views and exclusive villas for sale in Denia. All will have private pools, and some even have direct access to secluded coves offering privacy away from the summer crowds. The Marina area offers waterfront properties overlooking the moorings so you can step onto your yacht and explore the coast with its hidden beaches at any time. Luxurious apartments for sale in Denia Marina have balconies where you can dine al fresco and watch the boats and the world go by.
Denia is also well known for its marina, castle, ferry connections to the Balearic Islands and over 20 kilometres of coastline, making it one of the Costa Blanca North's most sought-after locations.
In Javea, inexpensive properties can be found, but there are also plenty of luxurious villas and fincas available with both modern and traditional styles, both close to quiet beachfront locations as well as overlooking the beautiful bay from Montgó Mountain. There are plenty of real estate choices available for sale in Javea, including an excellent selection of villas for sale in Javea.
Javea is one of the most popular towns on the Costa Blanca North, combining beautiful beaches, a charming historic centre, a modern marina and the impressive Montgó Natural Park.
The town of Moraira is located on the coast between Javea and Calpe and is a paradise for more exclusive holidays and luxury villas for sale. It is a sophisticated town with a laid-back and traditional atmosphere. In addition to the main beaches, there are tranquil, private coves. The streets are lined with boutiques and excellent restaurants, and the marina offers moorings for some very luxurious private yachts. Several urbanisations, including Pinar de l'Advocat and El Portet, have some of the most luxurious villas in the area, and they have exquisite sea views. Modern villas for sale in Moraira often offer panoramic windows to take in the views of the Mediterranean from all angles, and many are built to be eco-friendly. Older, more traditional houses have been lovingly renovated to provide for modern lifestyles but with a more classic appearance.
Moraira is conveniently located between Alicante-Elche Miguel Hernández Airport and Valencia Airport, both of which provide excellent international connections, making travelling to your home on the Costa Blanca straightforward throughout the year.
The coast is lovely, but just a short drive inland, there are wonderful locations, particularly for those who enjoy outdoor pursuits, including horse riding. Country villas and fincas for sale in the Jalón Valley have been beautifully restored to retain their character but provide luxury living amidst large gardens with private pools and terraces overlooking vineyards. The area offers a wonderful escape and relaxing way of life, stepping back in time to offer wonderful local wines and excellent local cuisine.
The Jalón Valley is also well known for its vineyards, almond blossom in the spring and traditional Spanish villages, making it a popular choice for buyers seeking a peaceful lifestyle within easy reach of the Costa Blanca coastline.
Food on the Costa Blanca caters for all tastes, but local Spanish restaurants in all areas proudly present locally sourced, traditional menus handed down through generations. However, if you want a more luxurious experience, the Costa Blanca can also offer you a Michelin-star dining experience. In Denia, the Quique Dacosta restaurant proudly shares its name with the chef who combines flavours from his roots in Extremadura with traditional Valencian recipes, transforming the restaurant previously known as El Poblet into a must-go dining experience for those who enthuse about haute cuisine. The chef's dedication to his art and passion for gastronomy have earned him three Michelin stars.
In Calpe, Audrey's restaurant has one Michelin star and is led by chef Rafa Soler, who reinterprets some traditional recipes in a bright and elegant atmosphere where attention to detail is always given.
Other restaurants in the region are entitled to display these prestigious stars, and when you buy a villa on the Costa Blanca, it is well worth taking time to explore and enjoy these exclusive venues.
Whilst mass tourism and comedy programmes have influenced people in the past, the Costa Blanca is now shining through as a place where many towns can offer those hoping to buy a villa in Spain a touch of luxury. At Hamiltons Real Estate (previously Hamiltons of London), we know the area well and will be very happy to show you around so that you find the perfect location and property for your dreams to come true.
