Hillside urbanisation above Carabassí dunes: family complexes with pools, sea views and quick airport access—modern apartments/townhouses with strong summer-and-shoulder rentals.
Facts
Gran Alacant spreads across sandy bluffs between Alicante and Santa Pola, overlooking the Carabassí/Arenales dune beaches. Expect upper-mid coastal pricing around €2,780/m² (modern apartments/townhouses; renovated sea-view units with pool/parking trade higher). Day-to-day life is easy—commercial centres, buses to Alicante/Santa Pola, and boardwalks over the dunes. Alicante–Elche airport ~10–15 min, making fly-in breaks simple. Rentals are excellent in summer and healthy in the shoulders thanks to beach access, nature, and city proximity.
