Calp sits on the Costa Blanca in Alicante, instantly recognisable for the towering rock that rises straight out of the sea beside its beaches. UK families and couples come for the warm Mediterranean climate, the long sandy bays and an easygoing Spanish resort with plenty of choice.

It mixes a working Spanish town with a relaxed beach holiday, so you get good food and local character alongside the sun and sand.

Where to stay in Calp

RH Ifach is a four star hotel near the beach in Calp, a convenient base if you want to be close to the sand with the town within easy reach.

Getting there and when to go

Alicante airport has frequent direct flights from across the UK, with transfers up the coast to Calp. The season is long and sunny, from spring into autumn. High summer is hot and busy, while late spring and September offer warm weather and a calmer resort.

Beaches and resorts

Calp has wide, sandy Blue Flag-style beaches with calm, shallow water that suits families, set against the dramatic backdrop of its famous coastal rock. There are quieter coves nearby for those who want to explore, plus a lively seafront promenade.

Food and things to do

Calp keeps a strong fishing tradition, so fresh seafood and rice dishes feature heavily, alongside tapas and holiday favourites. The headland and coastal paths offer walking with sea views, and boat trips, watersports and the old town round out the days.

Who it suits

Calp suits families wanting sandy beaches and calm water, couples after a relaxed Costa Blanca base, and walkers drawn to its coastal scenery. It is less suited to anyone seeking a pure party resort.
