Villa Marina Alta Spain

Perched on a hillside just one kilometre inland from Puerto Blanco beach is Villa Marina Alta. With its bright and airy interior, it’s a welcoming holiday home for up to six people.
The lounge, dining and kitchen areas have a modern feel and are connected via open archways. The lounge especially is a good size, allowing a large family or extended family group to mix or find their own space. All your accommodation is on one level, and Villa Marina Alta offers air conditioning in two of the three bedrooms at extra cost. There are two bathrooms and an additional guest toilet.
A real bonus feature at this villa is the veranda style living room which leads out to the pool terrace. You can sit here with a morning coffee, pondering the delights of the day ahead or reflect on everything you’ve seen and done as the sun goes down, sipping a local wine perhaps. It’s glazed with patio doors to make it an inside-outside room from where you can admire the spectacular view.
Moving outside, it’s all about that view. Wow! The outside space isn’t huge, but the 180-degree view of the mountains and teasing glimpses of the sea are fabulous. And all of this can be enjoyed from your very own private terrace. The pool is attractively shaped and tiled, with steps to lower yourself into the refreshing water for a leisurely swim or splashy family time with the kids. Stairs lead down from the pool terrace to a gravelled garden dotted with Mediterranean trees and shrubs.
Just a kilometre downhill is your nearest beach at Puerto Blanco, but Calpe’s eleven-kilometre coastline features several beaches, coves and marinas. Many of these offer water sports, white sand or rocky coves from where you can soak up the sun or take a dip in the clear, warm waters of the Mediterranean.
The Rock of Ifach juts out from the shoreline and physically dominates this stretch of coast. Calpe town itself is busy and dynamic, full of tourists and places to visit. Everyone’s tastes are well-served by this popular and lively resort. Experience it all from the luxury of Villa Marina Alta and your private pool!Calpe is a favourite destination for tourists along the Costa Blanca. What was once an old fishing port has expanded into a thriving holiday hotspot, best known for its white sandy beaches and delicious seafood. There’s something for everyone in Calpe with nightclubs, restaurants and pavement cafes, a bustling port and marina, several award-winning beaches and protected nature reserves.
One of these includes the mass of limestone rock on Calpe’s coastline called Penon de Ifach. It towers over the beaches at 320 metres and is a recognisable landmark not only for Costa Blanca but across Spain. Another nature reserve is Les Salinas, or salt flats. Set alongside Penon de Ifach, this beautiful expanse of water attracts birds from all over the world. Flamingos often congregate here, making Les Salinas their home for a while. As well as wildlife, Calpe also has a fascinating history. Iberian tribes settled here before Romans and then Christians and Moors. Visit the Roman baths, Moorish quarter or Museum of Archaeology to learn more.
If your palette is demanding authentic Spanish cuisine, you’ll still find traditional bars serving tapas with a glass of beer or Jalon, the locally produced wine. Many regional dishes are made with rice – arroz negro is black rice or arroz del senyoret is similar to paella.  Almonds grow well here and so you’ll see nougat for sale at many a street stall. Try jijona ice cream – made with nougat and to die for!
The almonds, oranges, lemons, olives and cherries from the groves and orchards around Calpe are testament to the wonderful climate on the Costa Blanca. On average, you (and the fruit and nuts) will bask in eleven hours of sunshine a day throughout the summer. Mediterranean heaven!
Calpe is an amazing mix of ancient, natural, modern and urban but all elements of this town live happily side by side. When you’ve seen and done enough for the day, your hillside retreat awaits. Return home to Villa Marina Alta and relax on a sun lounger, take a dip in your private pool or lose yourself in the view.
