Calpe – property and life in an exclusive Costa Blanca North resort
Calpe is a jewel of Spain's Costa Blanca North coastline – a town defined by the iconic 332-metre Peñón de Ifach rock, pristine sandy beaches and a vibrant coastal lifestyle. Along its 11 km of shoreline, Calpe offers 7 Blue Flag beaches including Arenal-Bol and the long Playa de la Fossa (Levante), a sunny climate and the kind of upmarket atmosphere that characterises the northern Costa Blanca. A modern marina, clifftop walking trails and excellent infrastructure combine holiday-resort charm with genuine year-round liveability.
