Why Gran Alacant? The location speaks for itself
Gran Alacant sits on a hillside between Alicante and Santa Pola — 8.5 km from the airport (15 minutes by taxi). Alicante-Elche Airport handled a record 19.95 million passengers in 2025 (Aena, 2026). Being so close to the airport is pure comfort — no more overnight stays "near the terminal" and 2-hour transfers.

From the lower urbanisations of Gran Alacant you can walk to Carabassí Beach (Blue Flag, 1.5 km of white sand and protected dunes). Gran Alacant also has full infrastructure on site: Mercadona, Lidl, Aldi and Consum at the shopping centre, a Thursday market, and a pharmacy open until 10 pm with English-speaking staff.
The Costa Blanca enjoys 300–320 sunny days per year. It's no coincidence that Scandinavians, Dutch and British expats have fallen in love with Gran Alacant — "winter rentals" (September–June) are a distinct and very active market segment here.
Studio or one-bedroom apartment — which to choose?
A studio has one open living space — bed, sofa and kitchen all in the same room, with only the bathroom separated. It covers around 25–45 m². A one-bedroom apartment has a separate, enclosed bedroom, which makes a real difference in comfort on longer stays. It costs about 15–30% more, though.
Studios work best for couples, solo travellers and digital nomads. Spain ranked #1 in the world in the 2025 Digital Nomad Rankings (Idealista, 2026) — and Gran Alacant is one of the most popular Costa Blanca bases for that group. A kitchen lets you control your budget; fast WiFi keeps you connected.
Travelling with children or planning a stay of more than two weeks? A one-bedroom is worth considering. For short breaks or when price matters: the studio wins.
