What the Costa Blanca North is like
North of Benidorm the landscape changes: mountains such as the Puig Campana, the Ponoig and the Sierra de Bernia reach almost to the coast, and residential areas climb the hillsides with views of the sea. It is a favourite with buyers looking for space, privacy and nature, without being far from the beaches or everyday services.
- Villas with sea views rather than apartment blocks.
- Nature on your doorstep: hiking, cycling, climbing and viewpoints.
- Beaches and coves in Benidorm, Albir, Altea and Cala de Finestrat, 5–15 minutes away.
- Full services in Benidorm, La Nucía and Altea: hospitals, international schools and shops.
- Golf at Puig Campana, Villaitana and Altea Club de Golf.
