Calpe is defined by one rock. The Peñón de Ifach rises 332 metres straight out of the sea and splits the town between two long beaches — Arenal-Bol to the south and La Fossa to the north. Behind them sit salt lakes where flamingos feed inside the town itself.
Property in Calpe
Calpe combines a genuine old town on the hill, a working fishing port with a daily auction, and a seafront of apartment towers built for the view. Our listings cover both sides: apartments and penthouses in Arenal-Bol, Gran Sol and near the Puerto, some 70 metres from the sand, and villas on the slopes with wide views of the rock and bay.
Prices run from about €180,000 for an apartment to €2.65 million for a villa. The spread is unusually wide because Calpe serves two markets at once: compact holiday flats near the beach and large detached homes on the hillside. Both benefit from a town that stays open through the winter.
Alicante airport is about an hour by the AP-7, Valencia around 90 minutes. The Peñón is a nature reserve with a marked path to the summit, and the coastal walk to Cala del Racó runs below the old fishermen’s quarter.
