Costa blanca holidays

Cheap holidays to the Costa Blanca

Package holidays to Costa Blanca aren’t restricted to beaches in Benidorm - there are cheap family holidays at dozens of other resorts. We at The Co-operative Travel site offer all inclusive holidays in at least 20 different locations, ranging from exclusive golf resorts to picturesque villages.

Cheap family holidays Costa Blanca with a luxury touch  

People tend to think of package holidays in Costa Blanca in terms of 1970s hotel blocks and a “chips with everything” cuisine. However, it’s a reputation that’s totally undeserved. The stretches of coast tarnished with 1970s tower blocks are far and few between, outnumbered by sympathetically designed, low-rise resort centres. 

Today, families flock to the Costa Blanca, lured by uncrowded beaches and quiet, tasteful resorts. There is plenty of nightlife, for those who want it – but plenty of seclusion and culture too. Modern, all inclusive resorts like La Manga offer everything you could want in the way of luxury facilities – yet the award-winning architecture blends into the landscape in a way that makes you feel like it’s been there forever

Package holidays in a variety of resorts

When it comes to beaches, there are plenty of cheap holidays in Costa Blanca, well away from the crowded beaches of the big resorts but within easy reach of them. Altea, for example, is a delightful medieval town with family-friendly beaches, water sports and traditional culture, that’s totally at odds with the vibrant brashness of nearby Benidorm. This means you can still enjoy the theme parks and other family attractions – without being disturbed by the party crowds at night.

Alicante is the second largest city in Valencia, and great for families wanting all inclusive holidays with plenty of variety. The beaches of San Juan and El Postiguet offer fine sands, safe swimming and plenty of sports, from wind surfing to golf and volleyball. El Postiguet lies under the shadow of Santa Barbara, and is ideally placed for exploring the Old Quarter of the city. Alicante also has some superb parks. At the Parque El Palmeral there are play areas, picturesque walks, boat hire and a summer theatre. 

Calpe – and beyond

Calpe, close to vibrant Benidorm, is famous for its rock formations and glorious sandy beaches. A favourite for both families and couples booking package holidays, it has a variety of water sports as well as safe places for children to play. Numerous rocky inlets mean you can easily find your own secluded beach to laze about on.

We at The Co-Operative Travel site have all inclusive holidays in many more resorts like these. If you’re looking for cheap family holidays with plenty of variety, we recommend the Costa Blanca.
