About the area

Spain’s gorgeous Costa Blanca lies along its south eastern shore and flights into Alicante Airport take roughly two and a half hours from the UK. This one hundred and twenty-five mile stretch of coastline, looks out over the Mediterranean Sea and was given its name in the 1950s to help attract holiday makers keen to enjoy its white sandy beaches and unrivalled climate. Which is perfect for enjoying the area’s selection of world class golf courses and if teeing-off in the bright sunshine is your thing, there’s over thirty to choose from. With so many benefits, it’s no surprise the Costa Blanca continues to rise in popularity for those seeking a home from home.
