Why stay in Calpe?
Calpe is defined by one of the most recognisable landmarks on the Spanish coast: the Peñón de Ifach, a 332-metre limestone rock that rises straight from the sea and splits the town's two main beaches. Playa Arenal-Bol and Playa La Fossa offer fine golden sand, shallow water perfect for families, and a backdrop that looks almost unreal in the late afternoon light.
Beyond the beaches, Calpe has a growing reputation for food. The old fishing port still operates daily, supplying the town's restaurants — including two Michelin-starred establishments — with the freshest catch on the Costa Blanca. The Baños de la Reina archaeological site, Roman fish pools carved into the rock, and the weekly market add layers of history and local flavour that most resort towns lack entirely.
The town is also a gateway to some of the best outdoor activities in the region. The hike to the summit of Ifach is a bucket-list experience, the coastal road to Moraira is considered one of the most scenic drives in Spain, and the narrow-gauge TRAM railway connects Calpe to Benidorm and Denia. Alicante airport is about an hour away.
A holiday rental in Calpe means waking up to views of the rock, walking to the beach, and cooking with ingredients from the local market — all at a fraction of hotel prices.
