Calpe blends high-energy beach life with residential pockets that look back to the Peñón de Ifach. The coastline revolves around two main bays—Arenal-Bol and La Fossa (Levante)—lined with seafront and second-line apartments that suit holiday use and straightforward rentals. Step a few streets inland and you’ll find the old centre with character townhouses and practical apartments close to shops and cafés. For more space, Calpe’s urbanisations deliver villas with pools and wider views, from Maryvilla’s dramatic slopes to Cometa/Carrió and Empedrola.
If beach days and evening promenades are the priority, start by shortlisting buildings along Arenal-Bol and La Fossa; many offer terraces and lifts, with parking or storage typical in newer blocks. After quiet streets, privacy and plot size? Head uphill to villa areas where sea and skyline views open up. South along the coast, Benissa Costa adds coves and cliff-top vistas, while Moraira offers a low-rise marina town vibe—useful comparisons if you’re weighing lifestyle as much as floorplans. Calpe’s mix of services, transport and variety of stock makes it a strong pick whether you’re buying a simple lock-up-and-leave or a sea-view home to use year-round.
