A two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment of 86 m² in Albir, on the Costa Blanca between Benidorm and Altea. The property forms part of a residential building completed in 2002 and is offered key-ready at a fixed asking price of €326,500. The apartment has a south- and south-east-facing orientation with a large, mostly covered terrace, a fully fitted kitchen with separate laundry area, air conditioning and a lift in the building. Communal facilities include an outdoor swimming pool and garden. The nearest beach, Caleta de l'Amerador, lies roughly 650 metres away as the crow flies, and a supermarket is approximately 100 metres from the door.
Within the wider Costa Blanca market, this apartment occupies a different segment from the comparable new-build projects listed in Torrevieja and Urbanización El Raso. Those developments, advertised from €160,000, €169,000 and €227,000 respectively, are new constructions with price lists, located on the southern Costa Blanca roughly an hour's drive south of Alicante city. This property, by contrast, is a 2002-built resale in Albir on the northern Costa Blanca, roughly 42 km straight-line from Alicante and 4 to 5 km from Benidorm, at a fixed price of €326,500. The price difference is explained largely by location and market maturity. Albir and the Benidorm, Altea corridor carry established international demand, dense year-round services and multiple international schools within a few kilometres, which supports both residential use and rental liquidity. The southern towns around Torrevieja offer newer stock at lower entry prices, generally in areas with a more seasonal service economy and greater distance from the regional airport's northern catchment. Buyers comparing the two should weigh the age of the building here, with the renovation work the bathrooms and floors may require, against the newer finishes but different setting of the southern alternatives. At roughly €3,800 per square metre of living area, this listing sits within the typical band for resale apartments within walking distance of the beach in this part of the coast, where proximity to the sea and everyday amenities forms the primary value driver. Rental economics quoted in the listing, an estimated 5.5 per cent-plus annual long-term return after renovation and summer holiday-let peaks near €4,000 per month, reflect the area's documented demand from international residents, though such figures depend on management and seasonality and warrant independent verification. Golf access, with three courses inside 8.3 km, and the density of public transport, with 23 lines and 50 stops, further distinguish the immediate area from lower-density inland developments.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The apartment sits in an urban, beachside setting in Albir, with the nearest beach about 650 metres away in a straight line. A supermarket lies approximately 101 metres from the building and a pharmacy about 666 metres. The area is flat towards the coast, with a gradient of around 2.2 per cent. Benidorm's intermodal station is roughly 3.9 km away and l'Alfàs del Pi station about 1.5 km, both measured directly.
The layout offers two bedrooms and two bathrooms across 86 m² of living area, with a master bedroom served by a private bathroom with bathtub and a second bathroom with a shower cabin. The living room opens directly onto a large terrace with space for outdoor dining. The building has a lift, and communal pool and garden provide outdoor space without private maintenance obligations.
This is not a new-build project. The building was completed in 2002 and the apartment is key-ready, meaning it can be transferred in its current condition. The property is unfurnished and has a fully fitted kitchen, air conditioning and hot-air climate control. Some elements, notably the bathrooms and floors, are of an age where modernisation may be considered; no renovation works are currently underway or planned.
The property does not include a private pool, private garden, private parking space or storage room. It is offered unfurnished and is described as being in good general condition though partly in need of renovation, particularly bathrooms and flooring. Views are urban and towards the street rather than towards the sea. The building dates from 2002, so finishes reflect that period in places.
This property fits a buyer who values walkability above space. The 86 m² layout with two bedrooms and two bathrooms suits a couple, a small family using the second bedroom occasionally, or a single occupant who wants a guest room and a second bathroom. Because both the supermarket and the beach are within a few hundred metres, the apartment works well for residents who prefer not to depend on a car for daily life, a consideration relevant to older buyers and to those spending winters here without importing a vehicle. As a second home, the south-facing terrace and the communal pool cover the main seasonal requirements, while air conditioning and hot-air climate control extend comfortable use into the shoulder months. Buyers seeking a project to personalise will note that the bathrooms, floors and furniture are identified as candidates for modernisation; the asking price positions the property below freshly renovated stock in the area, leaving room in the budget for works. For rental purposes, the description cites estimated long-term returns above 5.5 per cent per year after renovation, alongside summer holiday-let figures of up to roughly €4,000 per month, all of which depend on season, demand and management and should be verified independently. The property suits buyers less well if they require private parking, sea views, a private garden or more than two bedrooms. The airport at approximately 52 km straight-line distance also means a transfer of around an hour by road for frequent flyers, which some buyers weigh against the shorter hops available from coastal towns closer to Alicante.
The apartment was completed in 2002 and is described as being in good general condition, with the caveat that some elements could be modernised. The kitchen is fully fitted and includes a separate laundry area with a washing machine, a practical arrangement that keeps drying laundry out of the living spaces. The master bedroom has an en-suite bathroom with a bathtub and bidet, visible in the property photographs, while the second bathroom has a shower cabin accessible from the hallway. This dual-bathroom arrangement is a concrete advantage for shared use or guest stays. Climate control consists of air conditioning with hot-air capability, meaning both cooling in summer and supplementary heating in winter are present. The building has a lift, which removes the stair dependency found in older Costa Blanca blocks of the same era. Flooring, internal joinery and bathroom fittings reflect early-2000s standards; the photographs show a bedroom with built-in wardrobe, a living room with balcony access and wall-mounted climate unit, and bathrooms in original condition. The terrace is the most distinctive finished element: mostly covered, south-facing and large enough for both a dining set and a lounge arrangement. The possibility of installing retractable glazing exists, which would create a convertible space usable in cooler months. Communal areas include an outdoor pool with loungers and a garden, maintained collectively. No private parking, storage room or solar installation is included, and no energy performance documentation is cited in the source material, so buyers should request the standard technical file during due diligence.
The apartment is offered as an existing home at a fixed asking price of €326,500. This is not a price-list property, so no variation by unit type applies: the figure corresponds to this specific two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment of 86 m² with its terrace and communal facilities. On a straightforward calculation, the asking price equals roughly €3,800 per square metre of living area, excluding the terrace surface. Comparable new-build developments further south on the Costa Blanca, such as projects in Torrevieja advertised from €160,000 to €169,000, generally involve smaller units or different locations; this property's pricing reflects its beachside position in Albir and its key-ready status. Availability is immediate in principle, subject to the standard Spanish purchase process and any conditions agreed between buyer and seller.
Daily life around this apartment is organised around proximity. With a supermarket roughly 100 metres away and commercial premises on the ground floor of the building itself, groceries and small services require no more than a short walk. The pharmacy sits about 666 metres from the door, and the beach at Caleta de l'Amerador is around 650 metres away as the crow flies, in practice a stroll of several minutes along flat terrain, given the gentle 2.2 per cent gradient towards the coast. The morning routine here can plausibly include a walk to the beach or a coffee downstairs before the day begins. The apartment's terrace, mostly covered and facing south, functions as an extension of the living room for much of the year. With average monthly temperatures ranging from 11°C in winter to 27°C in summer and an annual average of 18.2°C, outdoor use of the terrace is realistic from early spring to late autumn. The option to enclose the terrace with retractable glazing would turn it into a year-round room while retaining the ability to open it fully. The surrounding neighbourhood is urban and residential rather than touristic in character, with 23 public transport lines and 50 stops serving the wider area. Restaurants, cafés, banks and other amenities sit within a two-kilometre radius. Benidorm lies a few kilometres along the coast for larger shops and nightlife, while Altea and its marina are roughly 4.2 km away. For residents who prefer not to use a car daily, most routine errands are feasible on foot or by bicycle; the hospital at 6.2 km and the airport at roughly 52 km straight-line distance are the journeys that justify motorised transport.
Albir functions as a residential extension of l'Alfàs del Pi, with a registered population of around 21,080 spread over 19.4 km² at an elevation of roughly 88 to 92 metres above sea level. The terrain towards the sea is flat, which shapes daily life: walking and cycling are realistic transport modes, and the 23 bus lines with 50 stops in the area provide alternatives to the car. The train stations at l'Alfàs del Pi (1.5 km straight-line) and Benidorm Intermodal (3.9 km) connect the area to the regional rail network. Within two kilometres, the data lists four restaurants, five pharmacies, two banks and a café, alongside the supermarket at 101 metres. Tennis and padel players have several options within a short radius, including a tennis school at 1.6 km and further club facilities at 2.3 and 2.7 km. Two international schools, Costa Blanca International College at 2.2 km and Lope de Vega International School at 3.9 km, serve families considering longer stays. The general hospital lies 6.2 km away as the crow flies. The nearest electric-vehicle charging point sits 707 metres from the building. Beach options within walking or short driving distance include Caleta de l'Amerador (650 m), Platgeta del Metge (721 m) and Cala de la Mina (1.4 km), all measured in a straight line.
The map shows the apartment's position in Albir relative to the nearest coves, the supermarket immediately adjacent, and the wider network of Benidorm, Altea and the golf courses to the north-east. Straight-line distances are shown as the crow flies; actual road distances will be longer.
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Albir occupies the coastal stretch of l'Alfàs del Pi between Benidorm and Altea, roughly 42 km straight-line from Alicante and 102 km from Valencia. This position places it within the northern Costa Blanca, an area characterised by established residential tourism, international schools and a mix of cove beaches and hillside towns. Compared with Benidorm's high-density tourism model, Albir maintains a lower-key urban profile, while Altea, a few kilometres north, is smaller and more village-like. The local population of around 21,000 supports year-round services rather than a purely seasonal economy.
Beach access is the strongest accessibility feature: three coves lie within 1.4 km as the crow flies, with the closest at roughly 650 metres. Benidorm, with its full range of retail and services, sits about 4 to 5 km along the coast, while Altea and its marina are approximately 4.2 km away. Golfers have a choice of three courses within 8.3 km straight-line distance: Meliá Villaitana at 5.1 km, Campo de Golf y Escuela Las Rejas Benidorm Sol de Poniente at 5.8 km and Altea Club de Golf at 8.3 km. Alicante-Elche Airport (ALC) lies roughly 52 km away in a straight line, making it the natural arrival point; Valencia Airport (VLC) at approximately 106 km is a secondary option. Road distances to the airport will be longer than the straight-line figures and should be planned accordingly. Public transport coverage in the immediate area is dense for a town of this size, with 23 lines and 50 stops recorded, so day-to-day mobility without a private vehicle is realistic for errands and local trips, though hospital visits and airport transfers are more practical by car or taxi.

The climate data show average monthly temperatures ranging from 11°C in the coldest month to 27°C in the warmest, with an annual mean of 18.2°C. This is a moderate Mediterranean profile: warm summers without the extreme peaks recorded further inland, and winters mild enough that the terrace and the surrounding countryside remain usable year-round. The swimming season, defined by sea temperatures of 20°C or above, lasts approximately four months, concentrated in the summer half-year. Albir sits at 88 to 92 metres above sea level on terrain that slopes gently towards the coast at about 2.2 per cent, effectively flat for practical purposes. Several viewpoints lie within short range, including Viewpoint Aqualandia at 4.2 km and Mirador Cronistes d'Espanya at 4.8 km, giving access to elevated coastal panoramas without living on a hillside. The Serra Gelada natural park between Albir and Benidorm is the characteristic backdrop of the area for walkers, although the source data does not list specific trail access points.

The coastline near the apartment consists of a series of coves rather than a single long beach: Caleta de l'Amerador (650 m), Platgeta del Metge (721 m) and Cala de la Mina (1.4 km), all measured in a straight line. The source data does not include Blue Flag designations for these specific beaches, so no such claim is made here. For swimming, the four-month season with water at or above 20°C runs roughly from early summer into autumn; outside that window, sea bathing is possible but cool. Recreational infrastructure within a few kilometres is weighted towards racquet sports and golf. Tennis and padel facilities sit at 1.6, 2.3 and 2.7 km, and three golf courses within 8.3 km cover practice ranges and full rounds. Two marinas, Port d'Altea at 4.2 km and el Mollet at 8.9 km, serve sailing and mooring needs. The apartment's own communal pool provides a daily swimming option independent of the season and the sea temperature, which extends the practical bathing window well beyond the natural one.
