Hotels in Costa Blanca, Spain

Costa Blanca runs along Spain's southeastern Mediterranean coast, famous for its 200 kilometers of beaches and the towering Peñón de Ifach rock in Calpe. The climate offers over 3,000 hours of sunshine annually, so you can explore the 13th-century Santa Bárbara Castle in Alicante during mild winters (average 59°F/15°C), or jet-ski in the Mediterranean Sea when summer temperatures hit 86°F/30°C. For a quieter experience, head to the northern Costa Blanca for hiking in the Sierra de Bernia during spring, while the southern strip near Torrevieja draws windsurfers to its salt lagoons in summer.
