Clifftop–marina living between Altea and Calpe: coves, Sierra de Toix views, and frontline apartments around Marina Greenwich (Campomanes) with strong holiday-rental pull.
Facts
Mascarat wraps around the Sierra de Toix cliffs and the Marina Greenwich/Campomanes harbour, mixing sea-view apartments, terrace villas, and gated communities above pebble coves. Expect prime coastal pricing around €4,120/m² (frontline/marina-prox stock) with a clear premium for renovated units and unobstructed views. Daily life leans resort-style—cafés and restaurants at the marina, full services in Altea or Calpe within 10–15 minutes. Alicante–Elche airport ~55–60 min via AP-7/N-332. Rentals perform well in summer and remain attractive in shoulders due to sailing/diving and easy access to both towns.
