Find Alicante Holiday Rentals

Explore Spanish culture and bask in the Costa Blanca sun with an Alicante getaway

Dotted with warm, lively bars and tempting restaurants, Alicante has plenty to keep you out till well after sundown. This sought-after city on the Costa Blanca is also something of a hidden cultural gem, whose local galleries feature works by giants of modern art, and whose landscape is studded with architecture that reflects centuries of history. And then, of course, there are the bright swathes of the beaches, where you won’t be able to resist running into the frothing waves before spending quality time just lying back on the fine sands, relishing the knowledge you’re just moments away from your Alicante holiday rental.

Why book Alicante holiday rentals with ebookers?

Whether you’re here to party for just a couple of decadent days, or are seeking a long, leisurely stay where you can really immerse the Spanish culture all around you, booking a holiday rental in Alicante can make your visit extra-special. You can swap the limited space of a hotel room for a proper pad you can call your own, complete with spacious living areas and a fully equipped kitchen. This way, not only do you save on nightly rates, but you also get to cook your own meals instead of having to splurge on restaurants all the time. With ebookers, you can choose from an array of options, from family-friendly villas to romantic apartments with views of the turquoise coast.

Top things to do in Alicante

When it comes to things to do near Alicante holiday villas, the coast has to come top of the list. The wide arc of Playa del Postiguet is a particular draw – this city beach is close to many Alicante holiday rentals, and offers plenty of space to relax and bask. San Juan Beach is another hotspot home to smooth, sumptuous sands. One landmark that looms over the whole of Alicante is Santa Barbara Castle, which has its roots in the 9th century. Take the lift up – or walk, if you’re feeling adventurous – and you’ll be rewarded with craggy ruins and photo-worthy views you’ll want to share. You can also see another side to the local scene with a visit to the Alicante Museum of Contemporary Art, which punches above its weight with works by titans like Miro, Magritte and Picasso.

Getting around in Alicante

If you want to see beyond Alicante and take in more of the Costa Blanca while staying in your Alicante holiday rental, you could consider hiring a car, which will give you the freedom to roam out to quaint villages and coastal areas. Buses and trams are also available, though you can happily explore Alicante on foot. In fact, taking an amble along the Explanada de Espana, a winding boulevard lined with millions of coloured tiles, overlooked by rows of palm trees and dotted with busy market stalls, is an activity in itself.
