About the area

The Costa Blanca means white coast and is named after its gorgeous beaches which stretch for over 120 miles. This search focuses on the towns and beaches between Alicante up to Valencia, to which direct flights from the UK take under 3 hours. As well as ample opportunity for sun worshipping and water sports, the Costa Blanca’s coastline is dotted with charming towns to explore–like Oliva, with its beautiful blue domed church. And Gandia, a town of two halves with miles of sandy beach as well as an old town packed with history.
