Why buy a property in Altea?
Altea has cultivated a different identity from every other town on this coast: an arts faculty, a concert hall, galleries and craft markets give it a cultural life that outlasts the season. The setting seals it, with the old town rising between the sea and the Bernia ridge, and Benidorm's skyline visible but comfortably distant across the bay. Apartments near the seafront start around 1'000,000 euros, villas in the hills from 2'300,000 euros, and the Altea Hills gated community adds a premium address with panoramic terraces.
Which area of Altea to choose?
The old town suits buyers drawn to character: stone houses on stepped lanes, terraces over the bay, everything on foot. The seafront and its promenade concentrate apartments with direct beach access along a mostly pebbled shore that keeps the water exceptionally clear. Altea la Vella, the original inland village, offers a quieter Spanish rhythm below the Bernia, while Altea Hills and the Mascarat area, towards Calpe, stack sea-view villas above the coast's most dramatic cliffs.
