Thanks to the surrounding Sierra de Bernia mountains, Calpe enjoys a microclimate that is milder than in the south: less humidity and fewer extreme heat waves. The coastline stretches for more than 13 kilometres, with wide sandy beaches and picturesque coves such as Cala del Racó, Cala Calalga and Cala Les Urques.
A city with a distinctive identity
Calpe has long been a popular choice for those considering a second home or investment in Spain. The city combines authentic Mediterranean charm with a comfortable modern lifestyle, where everything you need is within reach all year round.
The city has about 25,000 permanent residents and offers an international yet welcoming atmosphere. It is built around the Peñón de Ifach, a 332-meter-high limestone rock that stands as a natural landmark above the coast. This rock is literally the symbol of the Costa Blanca North and can be seen from several other coastal towns.
At its base are Calpe’s two main beaches: Playa Arenal-Bol and Playa de la Fossa, connected by a promenade lined with shops, cafés, and restaurants. You’ll even find several cosy places run by Belgians and Dutch people.
Behind the coastline lies the historic old town with narrow streets, colourful facades, and small squares.
In addition, Calpe has a modern district with everything one expects for daily comfort: large supermarkets, medical centres, schools, sports clubs, and a pleasant weekly market on Saturdays.
Real Estate in Calpe: quality and location as key factors
The real estate market in Calpe is characterised by stable growth and a clear focus on quality. For many years, Belgian and Dutch buyers have found their way to this region, and that interest remains consistently strong. Its location along the N-332 and AP-7 ensures excellent accessibility from Alicante Airport (± 1 hour) and Valencia (1h15).
New developments typically consist of modern apartments with spacious terraces, communal swimming pools, landscaped gardens, underground parking, and energy-efficient facilities. Many of these residences are within walking distance of the beach or offer sea and Peñón views. In addition, there are detached villas in the residential areas on the hills around the city, often with private pools, Mediterranean gardens, and panoramic views. Popular neighbourhoods in Calpe include Maryvilla, La Canuta, Cometa-Carrió, and Empedrola: quiet urbanisations with a residential character and green coastal views.
According to our own experience and figures from the Spanish statistics institute (INE), the average property price in Calpe is in the higher segment of the province of Alicante. This is no coincidence: it reflects the quality of the homes, their location, and the continued interest from international buyers.
This demand remains stable precisely because Calpe is a city that is alive in all seasons and not dependent on mass tourism. This creates a healthy real estate market in which value retention is a realistic advantage — and that’s exactly why investing in Calpe is a smart choice.
