All inclusive Holidays in Altea, Costa Blanca whitewashed lanes, pebble beaches – Discovering Altea

Altea is gorgeous. Whitewashed lanes, blue-domed church, pebble beaches and calm seas. However, there are no true all inclusive hotels in Altea. Do not worry. With Cheap All Inclusive Holidays, you can still enjoy an all inclusive style trip that feels effortless and great value.

Altea sits just north of Benidorm on the Costa Blanca. Expect a relaxed old town, a pretty seafront and clear Mediterranean light.

The all inclusive reality here

Most hotels in Altea offer Bed & Breakfast, Half Board or Full Board. Drinks are usually extra. Entertainment is light and tasteful. Think live music and low-key shows several nights a week. For full all inclusive programmes, nearby El Albir and Benidorm have options just a few miles away.

Food and drink you will love

Hotel buffets lean Mediterranean. Expect grilled fish, salads, rice dishes and fresh fruit. In town, dine on tapas, paella, seafood and wood-oven rice. Prices are friendly, portions generous. Many restaurants host live music, so dinner often comes with entertainment.

Evenings and nightlife

Altea’s vibe is mellow. Stroll the old town, sip wine on the plaza or catch a seaside bar with acoustic sets. Fancy a big night? Benidorm is about 6 miles away on the TRAM line. The ride is quick and costs roughly £0.86 to £1.73. That keeps your ‘inclusive’ feeling without the wristband.

Free or almost-free things to do

Wander the cobbled streets and church square. Walk the Albir Lighthouse trail in Serra Gelada. It is an easy paved route, about 3 miles there-and-back, with sea views that amaze. Swim from the pebbly bays. Browse artisan stalls at dusk. Joy costs little here.

Who this suits

• ✔️ Couples seeking charm. Foodies who love eating out.
• ✔️ Families who prefer quieter beaches and easy days.
• ✔️ Walkers and cyclists will adore the coastal paths and gentle hills.

If you like freedom over fixed schedules, this is perfect.
