Area guide
Altea Hills — between sierra and sea.
Carved into the foothills of the Sierra Bernia and looking out across the Bay of Altea, Altea Hills is a private, gated enclave of architect-designed villas. Pine forests, golden cliffs and the silhouette of Calpe's Peñón d'Ifach define a setting that feels at once protected and panoramic.
The microclimate is famous: more than 320 days of sunshine, mild winters and the soft Mediterranean breeze that draws collectors, artists and discerning families from across Europe.
Lifestyle
Beach clubs, marinas, Michelin-starred dining and a creative community rooted in Altea's old town.
Connectivity
45 minutes to Alicante airport, 1h15 to Valencia. International schools and private clinics nearby.
Architecture
From Mediterranean classicism to bold contemporary villas — the area is a quiet showcase of design.
Altea old town
A whitewashed village above the sea.
Cobblestone streets climb to the blue-domed church of Nuestra Señora del Consuelo. Galleries, ateliers and intimate restaurants give Altea a creative depth rare on this coast — a daily counterpoint to the privacy of Altea Hills above.
