Coves, mountains and a settled international community
Property for sale on the Costa Blanca North
The northern Costa Blanca, around Dénia, Jávea, Moraira, Calpe and Altea, has a more hilly, cove-lined coast than the south, with the mountains close to the sea. Many buyers choose it for the views, the old towns and the restaurants, and for a more upmarket feel.
It suits people who want a settled community and a home to enjoy for more of the year. It is also one of the more expensive parts of the Costa Blanca, so it is worth comparing it with the south and with Murcia before you decide.
Alicante-Elche and Valencia are the main airports. Distances depend on the town, so check the drive for the particular property.

Questions about Costa Blanca North
Which airport is closest to the Costa Blanca North?
Alicante-Elche is the main airport for most of the area, and Valencia is the alternative for the northern end. Journey times vary by town, so check the drive for the property you are looking at.
Is it more expensive than the south?
Generally yes. The north has a more upmarket reputation and a more hilly, view-led coast. Compare current listings in each area for a fair picture.
Is it a good area for year-round living?
Many people live there all year and the towns have a settled community. If you plan to live in Spain, check the residency rules first, as buying a property does not give you a right to live there.
