Enjoying a prime location in the heart of Spain's sun dazzled Costa Blanca , Calpe is a tranquil, wonderfully picturesque former fishing village that provides a memorable setting for a relaxing Mediterranean getaway. Holidays to Calpe are ideal for families looking for a top beach break destination in sunny Spain, as well as couples looking for a romantic escape.

Calpe's main beaches of Port Naur and Playa de la Foss are sublime stretches of fine golden sands bordering pristine, clear Mediterranean waters. These beaches are very popular during the hot summer months, but the tranquil beaches of Playa Arenal-Bol and Playa Cantal Roig can be reached by a pleasant stroll along the lovely coastline. All three beaches have Blue Flag status.

There are plenty of fun activities to enjoy on a holiday to Calpe, including fantastic water sports at the marina area such as waterskiing and windsurfing, whilst yachting is also a popular pastime. Inland you'll find a picturesque golf course where you can enjoy a few relaxed rounds in the sunshine. For a family treat, nearby Benidorm is home to an awesome theme park, water park and aquarium.

The Rock of Ifach is an unmissable attraction for a holiday to Calpe. A towering rock formation that rises from the sparkling Mediterranean waters to a soaring summit of 332 metres. The climb to the top is very challenging, however it is said on a clear day you can see [Ibiza.|ibiza-holidays]

The resort is home to a wide range of restaurants and cafes serving local delicacies, Spanish and Mediterranean classics and varied cuisine from around the globe. The nightlife is pretty buzzing during the summer, with a good choice of bars and late-night spots, although it's nowhere near as hedonistic as somewhere like Benidorm.
