A holiday in Alicante affords access to stunning beaches, as well as the opportunity to enjoy a great many sites relating to the history and culture of Spain. Add to this the likelihood of fabulous weather conditions and fitting everything in to your schedule may be one of your biggest problems. It is for this reason that you should consider renting your own apartment or villa in Alicante. A holiday rental frees up your time to do as you please, when you please. It may also save you a considerable amount of money, which you can spend on the better enjoyment of your holiday.

Sun, sea and sand are the principal reasons why a great many people will visit Alicante. Renting a holiday apartment within easy reach of the beach will allow you and your family to take advantage of the beach when others are restricted by meal times and other terms of their accommodation deals. Playa del Postiguet is the main beach in the heart of the resort, with clean, safe sands on which to have fun, while the smaller and quieter Playa del Coco is but a short walk away. San Juan Beach is a few miles out of the resort centre but is packed with activity options, including plentiful shops and bars. San Juan is also where Alicante Golf Club can be found, likely to be of interest to those with non-beach related sports in mind.

If your idea of holiday fun is more about quietly admiring the historical sites of where you are staying, renting a family villa in Alicante is the perfect option. Enjoy the privacy this affords your family, as well as the freedom to explore the town at your leisure. There are many cultural sights to see in Alicante but few will want to miss climbing to the Castle of Santa Barbara and enjoying stunning views of the city, or visiting St Mary’s Church, built over three centuries on the site of a former Moorish mosque and one of Alicante’s most popular visitor attractions.

Renting your holiday villa or apartment in Alicante will give you the opportunity to eat out and sample some of the wonderful restaurants in the area, as well as probably allowing you extra money to spend in this way. The marina at Alicante has a wonderful choice of eateries at any time of day and a boat trip out to the Island of Tabarca from the marina is not only a fun family activity, the island is famed for its varied and delicious seafood dishes.
