Can you picture waking up every day to a view of the sea, surrounded by natural light, quiet and elegance? What you are about to read may change the way you think about where and how you want to live. The Costa Blanca is not just a tourist destination, but one of the most desirable places in Europe to settle permanently or to invest in off-plan projects with a long-term view.

In this guide we take you through the most exclusive areas of the Costa Blanca, where design, privacy and quality of life come together in an incomparable natural setting. These places stand out not only for their location, but also for their architectural style, level of service, transport accessibility and international community. If you are considering buying property in the region, this guide will be a key resource for you.

Whether you are looking for a villa with an infinity pool, a gated community with round-the-clock security, or a complex near golf courses, you will find the ideal place here. In addition, if you want to learn more about our work as a developer in Alicante, Construcciones Kornilenko shows how we accompany clients throughout the entire journey, as described in detail in our purchase guide.

Finestrat: stunning views and modern architecture

For many buyers, Finestrat is one of the most promising property destinations on the Costa Blanca. Located between the sea and the majestic Puig Campana mountain, this corner has attracted investors and families looking for more than just property: quality of life. New builds in Finestrat stand out for their modern design, energy efficiency and a natural setting conducive to well-being.

In the Balcón de Finestrat residential area, Construcciones Kornilenko is building a four-level villa with a private pool and terraces offering panoramic views of the sea, Benidorm and the mountains, about 11 minutes' drive from the sea. In Finestrat we are also developing Sierra Verde (formerly Jardín de Finestrat): five modern detached villas with private pools and views of the sea and the mountains.

Thanks to its excellent connections with Alicante and its international airport, Finestrat is also attracting interest from those considering off-plan projects. If you want to understand all the related legal procedures, we recommend our property purchase guide. Finestrat is synonymous with nature, innovation and long-term potential.

Altea: art, serenity and the blue sea

Altea is a white pearl rising above the Mediterranean. Its old town, with cobbled streets and whitewashed houses, breathes history and beauty in every corner. Known as a haven for artists, writers and bohemians, Altea is the ideal place for those who value serenity, aesthetics and culture. Life here is not lived in a hurry: you savour every sunrise over the sea, every evening stroll among art galleries and terraces with views.

Upscale developments in Altea sit on hilltops, surrounded by nature, with postcard views and excellent privacy. Developments such as Altea Hills or Sierra de Altea offer security, controlled access, well-kept landscaping and proximity to golf courses and yacht marinas. To live here is to choose a quality of life that unites the best of the Mediterranean with a refined, quiet environment.

If you are wondering where to live on the Costa Blanca to combine natural beauty, infrastructure and exclusivity, Altea is a choice that is hard to beat. It is also well connected with Alicante and has all the services for a comfortable, inspiring and relaxed life.

Benidorm and surroundings: luxury and city life

Benidorm has undergone a quiet and unexpected transformation. Beyond its image as a tourist destination, exclusive residential areas have developed around it in recent years, especially on the south side and on the hills overlooking the sea. These areas offer an ideal balance between the dynamism of a modern city and the calm of a high-end residential setting.

The townhouse projects in Benidorm by Construcciones Kornilenko respond to the new demand from those who want to be close to everything without giving up privacy, build quality and design. With access to hospitals, international schools, shopping centres and award-winning beaches, these homes are made for those who want to live comfortably and with prospects.

In addition, Benidorm is very well connected with Alicante airport, which makes it especially attractive to foreign buyers wishing to invest in a practical location where rental demand is traditionally strong. If you are considering buying property in Alicante, Benidorm may pleasantly surprise you with its new residential face. This is not a guarantee of rental income or capital growth; we recommend discussing the terms with our manager or an independent adviser.

El Campello, Villajoyosa and the southern Alicante coast

If your idea of luxury is closer to the sea, quiet and a relaxed Mediterranean style, you will love El Campello, Villajoyosa and other places in the south of Alicante. These towns offer a more authentic, less crowded way of life, but with a full range of services close at hand. Well-kept seafront promenades, star-rated restaurants, fine-sand beaches and secluded coves are part of everyday life.

In addition, new high-end developments with new-build homes are appearing in these places, where sustainability, functional design and integration with the surroundings are the priority. You will not find skyscrapers here — only architecture adapted to the terrain, with fine materials, landscaped areas and breathtaking views.

Proximity to the city of Alicante and its international airport makes these places a strategic choice for those who want to combine comfort, privacy and good transport links. If you are looking for exclusive areas of the Costa Blanca without the bustle of big cities, but with the same level of quality and service, this coastal strip is for you.

Which area is ideal for you?

There is no single best place to live on the Costa Blanca. There is a place that is ideal for your lifestyle, your priorities and your dreams. Are you looking for movement, constant activity, services and social life? Then Benidorm and its surroundings may be the best choice. Do you prefer a creative, calm atmosphere with a Mediterranean soul? Altea awaits you. Do you dream of a modern home in a developing place, with a view and cutting-edge design? Finestrat has all of that and more.

And if you need peace, discretion and the sea, you can find true oases of serenity in the quieter parts of Finestrat, El Campello or Villajoyosa. Each place has its own charm, identity and strategic value — whether as a permanent home, an investment or a second residence.

At Construcciones Kornilenko we know every corner of this region inside out. Our team advises you individually to find not only the best home, but the best place for you. Get in touch with us and take the first step towards a life full of luxury, well-being and Mediterranean style.
