Overview

Known as the dome of the Mediterranean, Altea bypassed the overdevelopment of the 90s to consolidate itself as an artistic and exclusive enclave. Its mountainous geography falling into the sea has defined its urbanism: terraced properties where panoramic views are the norm, not the exception.

Key Micro-markets

Altea Hills: The paradigm of security and luxury on the Costa Blanca. A gated community where renowned architects have signed spectacular contemporary and classic villas. Campomanes (Marina Greenwich): The only marina in the world located on the 000º 00’ 00’’ meridian. Ideal for nautical enthusiasts and high-standing apartments right on the seafront. Old Town: Historic retreats restored to high standards, for a more bohemian profile.

Typology and Architecture

Contrast is Altea’s signature. Ibizan and Mediterranean style estates coexist with minimalist volumes of glass and concrete. The slope of the land ensures that most premium assets enjoy unobstructed views of the bay.

Next Step

Investing in Altea requires understanding the urban regulations of the mountain and the real impact of sun and orientation on each plot. Relying on specialized technical and legal advice is indispensable.
