Albir Holidays

EUR: Euro

Spanish

Picture perfect beaches, wild nature parks and a mellow town where you can live like a local, Albir allows you to dial back and enjoy a slower pace of life.

It’s easy to see why sunseekers can’t get enough of holidays in Albir. Gracing the shores of Spain’s popular Costa Blanca, the town’s enviable weather and pristine sandy beaches are made for lazy days.

This holiday destination also serves up its fair share of adventure with its natural landscapes, historic sites and the bright lights of Benidorm a short 15-minute drive away.

Families love this relaxed destination because of its proximity to water parks, family-friendly beaches and local cuisine that caters to everyone. The kids will love sliding down rapids and splashing around in child-friendly pools especially when it comes to beating the heat.

If you’re travelling with a group of friends or with your significant other, don’t miss out on the chance to soak up the natural beauty of Albir with hiking trails and natural pools to immerse yourself in.

Albir also comes with its share of historic sites. Take a walk up to the famous lighthouse or step back in time among the crumbling baths and excavated burial grounds of Albir’s very own Roman villa. Not only are the ruins free to visit, but the accompanying museum showcases short films and ancient artefacts. Dating back to the 4th century it’s a fascinating insight into this little-known archaeological gem.

You’ll be well placed between other Costa Blanca towns like Altea and the buzzing Benidorm where you can mix the pace up and explore the old town, enjoy different water sports at other beaches and of course let your hair down with the lively nightlife.
