Costa Blanca

Accommodation

There is more accommodation available along the Costa Blanca than in most destinations anywhere in the world; cheap and cheerful self-catering apartments, all-in package deals in high-rises in Benidorm, huge villas with pools and delightful inland casitas - the choice is massive.
The Benidorm 'flight plus accommodation' packages can prove to be good value especially for small groups.
For villas, there is a premium paid for stopping down by the coast, up in the hills things are considerably less expensive. You will often have a surfeit of facilities (pool, barbecues, balconies, televisions and dishwashers) a bit of a contrast to the usual UK climbing trip! Large groups visiting out of season may find hiring a villa the cheapest option.
The inland casitas are almost certainly the best option for those who wish to get away from the hustle and bustle of the coast. Many are beautifully situated, close to the climbing, and provide a good opportunity to see another side of Spain.
If you arrive with nothing pre-booked, either try the local Tourist Offices or find a tower block with a 'to rent' sign displayed (many of them have a 24 hour office) or phone one of the contacts below.

The following contacts all provide excellent accommodation mostly away from the high-rise blocks of Calpe and Benidorm. Please quote this page if you get in touch with them.

Information for advertisers

Refuges

The only refuge in the area is at Sella which has a small shop and camping available out side. It can get noisy in the refuge at busy times but there are always others to climb with which is attractive if you are travelling alone.

Camping

There are numerous campsites to be found in along the costal strip, although these are usually closed in the winter and crowded in the summer. Also, they are surprisingly expensive and it is usually cheaper to rent an apartment. Two spots where you can camp relatively cheaply are by the refuge at Sella and at the parking spot below Olta. Both have limited facilities.
