Apartments in Calpe
Wake up to views of the iconic Peñón de Ifach, walk to golden-sand beaches and dine on fresh fish straight from the port — Calpe apartments offer the best of the Costa Blanca in a relaxed, authentic setting.
Why Choose an Apartment in Calpe?
Calpe sits beneath the Peñón de Ifach, a 332-metre limestone rock that rises straight out of the Mediterranean and is visible from miles along the coast. It is one of the most recognisable landmarks in Spain and the defining feature of life in Calpe — you see it from your balcony, from the beach, from restaurant terraces, and it never gets old. Apartments here give you a front-row seat to one of the most dramatic natural backdrops on the Mediterranean.
The town wraps around two main beaches. Playa del Arenal-Bol is the larger of the two, a wide sweep of fine golden sand that curves around the bay south of the Peñón. It has Blue Flag status, lifeguards in season, and a promenade lined with restaurants and ice-cream shops. On the north side of the rock, Playa de la Fossa (also called Playa de Levante) is a slightly quieter alternative with excellent snorkelling along the rocky edges near the Peñón's base.
Calpe's fishing port is still active and is one of the best places on the coast to eat fresh seafood. Every afternoon the fishing boats return and the day's catch is auctioned at the Lonja — a spectacle worth watching even if you are not buying. The restaurants around the port serve rice dishes, grilled fish and shellfish at prices well below what you would pay in a larger resort. The Monday street market is another highlight, stretching along the seafront with stalls selling local produce, clothing and handicrafts.
For hikers, the Peñón de Ifach natural park offers a challenging but rewarding trail to the summit, with views stretching to Ibiza on a clear day. The Sierra de Oltà behind the town has gentler walking routes through pine forests. Calpe is also well positioned between Benidorm (20 minutes south) and Dénia (30 minutes north), making it a practical base for exploring the northern Costa Blanca.
Where to Stay: Apartment Zones
Arenal-Bol Beachfront
The most popular area for holiday apartments. Buildings line the promenade behind the main beach, many with direct sea views and the Peñón framed in every window. Walk out of your building and you are on the sand in minutes. Restaurants, cafes and a small supermarket cluster is within easy reach.
La Fossa & North Beach
On the quieter northern side of the Peñón, La Fossa has a more residential feel. The beach here is sandier than many visitors expect, with excellent snorkelling spots near the rocky shoreline. Apartment complexes in this zone often feature communal pools and gardens. A good choice for families seeking calm waters and a relaxed pace.
Port & Old Town
The area around the fishing port and the Casco Antiguo offers the most authentic Calpe experience. Apartments here are in lower-rise buildings, often with traditional architecture. You are steps from the best seafood restaurants and the daily fish auction. The old town's narrow streets have a handful of galleries, boutique shops and cosy tapas bars.
What to Expect
Peñón Views
Many apartments offer direct views of the iconic rock from living rooms, bedrooms or terraces — a backdrop you will not find anywhere else.
Communal Pools
Most apartment complexes include shared pools and sun terraces — a welcome alternative to the beach on lazy afternoons.
Walk to Everything
Calpe is compact enough that beaches, the port, restaurants and supermarkets are all reachable on foot from most apartment locations.
Fresh Seafood
Calpe's active fishing port means restaurants serve some of the freshest seafood on the coast — straight from the day's catch to your plate.
