Elche is a city best known for its lush UNESCO protected palm groves. Enjoy the sway of the breeze in the trees as you try to take in all 200,000 of them - yes, you read that correctly!  Elche is a short drive from the airport and a very pleasant day trip from Los Arenales de Sol beach.

5. Orihuela

35 minute drive from Alicante Airport

Relax on the white sandy beaches of Orihuela Costa. Choose from 16km of award-winning coastline; our shoutouts go to blue-flag Playa Flamenca and La Zenia beach.

40 minute drive from Alicante Airport

 

Torrevieja prides itself on being a modern seaside city centred around family holidays.
