This commercial premises is located in central Calpe, Alicante, within walking distance of the beach and surrounded by urban amenities. The unit measures 67 m² and includes one bathroom, with construction dating from 1970 and the building completed and ready for use. The asking price is €295,000. Calpe is a coastal municipality in the Marina Alta comarca with roughly 27,600 registered inhabitants (2025), situated at the foot of the Penyal d'Ifac Natural Park. The property sits in a high-footfall commercial environment close to hotels, restaurants and public services, making it a working business location rather than a residential development.
Within its immediate comparable set, this property is the only commercial asset: Residencial Los Balcones de Calpe (residential, from €373,730), Oceanic Apartments in Rojales (from €475,000) and Nueva Daya Villa in Daya Nueva (from €453,000) are all residential new-builds. That difference defines the comparison. The Calpe premises cost less at entry, €295,000 for 67 m², roughly €4,400 per square metre, but serve a commercial use case rather than a home, with income potential tied to business performance or rental of commercial space rather than residential letting. Locationally, central Calpe differs markedly from the comparables. Rojales and Daya Nueva are inland towns in the southern Costa Blanca, oriented around golf and residential developments with lower population density and dependence on car travel; Oceanic Apartments and Nueva Daya Villa buyers exchange coastal centrality for space and newer construction. Los Balcones de Calpe shares the same town but represents the new-build residential market at a higher entry price. For a commercial buyer, Calpe's profile, 27,600 registered inhabitants, three Blue Flag beaches, a position on the northern Costa Blanca between Altea and Benidorm, and an average of 3,840 sunshine hours, combines a genuine year-round population with strong seasonal tourism, a mix the inland comparables cannot match. The trade-offs are equally concrete: a 1970 building requiring technical due diligence, no parking or storage, and an economy that softens outside the May, October visitor season. The wider region reinforces the position: Alicante airport at roughly 66 km and Valencia at 104 km place the town within a two-airport catchment, while the marina and golf infrastructure (Ifach 6.9 km, Altea 7.0 km) supports the leisure economy that drives footfall past the premises.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The premises are situated in Calpe's urban centre, 757 metres from Cala la Mançanera and within 1.4 km of Platja del Cantal Roig and Cala del Morelló. A supermarket lies 63 metres away and a pharmacy 163 metres. The setting is a consolidated commercial district with hotels and retail nearby, and eleven public transport stops serve the wider area.
This is a commercial unit, not a home. It contains no bedrooms and a single bathroom within 67 m². Functionally, it suits retail or small-scale service use, with natural light through the day and immediate access to daily amenities on foot. Buyers seeking residential living space should note the property is not designed for habitation.
The building was completed in 1970 (indicative) and is delivered in a finished, ready-to-occupy state. There is no construction phase, no off-plan risk and no delivery schedule to monitor. The interior has reportedly operated as an active retail business for over twenty years, meaning fittings and layout reflect existing commercial use rather than new-build specification.
The property offers no bedrooms, no parking, no storage space, no communal facilities and no outdoor private area as recorded in the data. It measures 67 m², which limits the range of viable business types. Energy performance certification is not stated. The hospital is 18 km away and the nearest EV charging point 7.9 km from the site.
This property fits a narrow set of situations. It is relevant for an operator seeking an established retail or service location in central Calpe, particularly a business that depends on walk-in trade: the unit has functioned as a boutique clothing store for over two decades according to the imagery and listing history, and its surroundings, hotels, 136 restaurants, dense pedestrian traffic, support that use case. It may also suit a buyer seeking a commercial rental asset in a tourist town with a documented year-round population of roughly 27,600, although no yield figures are provided in the data. Situations where the property does not fit: buyers wanting a home, since the unit has no bedrooms and is not residential; buyers needing storage, parking or outdoor space, none of which are recorded; and businesses requiring more than 67 m² or specific technical fit-out, since the energy certificate and services specification are not stated. The location is car-optional for daily life, supermarket, pharmacy and cafés are all within a few hundred metres, but a vehicle remains practical for regional travel, with Alicante-Elche airport around 66 km straight-line away. Buyers should also factor in the seasonal economy: trade in Calpe peaks in summer and softens in winter, which affects any business plan built on tourist footfall. The 1970 construction date means the buyer's survey should assess electrical installations, plumbing and structural condition, as no recent renovation data is available.
The listing describes the unit as being in very good condition, ready for adaptation, with a fully equipped bathroom and orientation that provides natural light throughout the day. As a 1970 building, the structural and systems context differs from modern construction standards: no data is provided on electrical rewiring, plumbing renewal, insulation or accessibility compliance, and these points would need verification through technical due diligence before purchase. The interior currently presents as a fitted retail space, the photographic record shows a boutique clothing store with display fittings and a shopfront, so a buyer taking over the unit inherits an operating commercial layout rather than a shell. The single bathroom is noted as fully equipped, which supports both customer and staff use. No information is available on air conditioning, heating, or the energy performance certificate; under Spanish regulations, an energy certificate is required for the sale of commercial property, so this document should be requested. Windows, security shutters and the shopfront condition are visible in imagery but not specified in data. There is no lift, parking or communal amenity recorded. In short, the finish level reflects a maintained, actively used commercial interior from an older building stock: serviceable for retail purposes, but with the technical verification responsibilities that a 55-year-old building carries. Buyers converting the space to a different business type should budget for refitting, licensing changes through Calpe town hall, and compliance checks against current commercial use regulations.
The premises are listed at €295,000 for 67 m² of built space, equivalent to roughly €4,400 per square metre. The price is fixed rather than an 'from' price, reflecting a completed, operational unit delivered in its current state. Variation is limited: this is a single unit, not a development with multiple typologies. For context, comparable residential projects in the region start higher, Residencial Los Balcones de Calpe from €373,730 and Oceanic Apartments in Rojales from €475,000, although commercial and residential values are not directly comparable. Purchase costs (transfer tax, notary and registry fees) apply in addition to the asking price. Availability is immediate, subject to existing occupation and use.
The unit functions as a ground-level commercial space in the middle of Calpe's town centre, a setting defined by pedestrian and tourist footfall rather than residential quiet. Within a two-kilometre radius the data records 136 restaurants, 14 cafés, 9 pharmacies, 8 banks and 2 schools, indicating a dense, service-oriented urban fabric that stays active throughout the year, with seasonal peaks in summer months. The property itself sits among other businesses and close to several hotels, which shapes the rhythm of the street: busy daytime and evening trade, quieter winter weeks when part of the tourist population departs. Practical daily use is straightforward. A supermarket is 63 metres from the door and a pharmacy 163 metres, so restocking and errands require no vehicle. The sports infrastructure of the town, Pavelló Esportiu Ifac and the municipal Fernando Delgado swimming pool at roughly 100 metres, brings additional local traffic to the immediate area. Three Blue Flag beaches (Cantal Roig, La Fossa and L'Arenal-Bol) lie within short range, and the salinas viewing walkways are about 1.6, 1.7 km away. For a business operator, the daily pattern involves opening onto a commercial street, receiving passing trade from hotel guests and residents, and closing within walking distance of cafés and services. There is no private outdoor space associated with the unit, and parking is not included in the recorded data, which is typical for central Calpe but relevant for logistics and deliveries.
Daily life around the premises is compact and pedestrian-oriented. The supermarket at 63 metres and pharmacy at 163 metres mean basic needs are met within a two-minute walk, and the density of cafés and restaurants, 136 restaurants within 2 km, places eating and social options throughout the town. Health infrastructure is more distant: the nearest hospital is 18 km away, a consideration for anyone basing themselves here full-time, although local clinics and nine pharmacies within the radius cover routine needs. The municipal sports centre and swimming pool sit approximately 100 metres from the property, providing year-round exercise facilities. Calpe's public transport consists of three lines and eleven stops, adequate for local movement but limited for regional trips; the AP-7 and N-332 road connections link the town to Alicante (airport roughly 66 km straight-line) and Valencia (roughly 104 km). The town's character shifts with the seasons. Summer brings the tourist population that sustains the commercial centre, while the winter months are quieter, relevant context for a business, less so for residents who appreciate the calmer off-season. The Penyal d'Ifac Natural Park and the salinas lagoons, with bird observatories 1.6 km away, add accessible natural space to an otherwise urban setting. The 57-metre elevation and flat central street layout make walking and cycling practical for most daily trips, and the nearest EV charging point at 7.9 km reflects the town's still-limited electric vehicle infrastructure.
The map shows the premises in central Calpe, with the supermarket immediately adjacent and the beaches of Cala la Mançanera, Cantal Roig and Cala del Morelló within a 1.4 km radius. The Penyal d'Ifac Natural Park forms the coastal landmark to the north-east, and the golf courses of Ifach and Altea lie to the south-west.
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Calpe occupies a central position on the northern Costa Blanca between Altea (roughly 10 km south-west), Benidorm (roughly 20 km south) and Moraira-Jávea to the north-east. Within the Marina Alta comarca it functions as one of the principal service and tourism towns, larger than neighbours such as Teulada-Moraira but smaller than the Benidorm conurbation. For commercial purposes, this places the premises in a town with genuine year-round population, around 27,600 registered inhabitants, rather than a purely seasonal resort, while still capturing high summer visitor volumes.
Beaches are the closest major amenity: Cala la Mançanera at 757 m, Platya del Cantal Roig at 1.2 km and Cala del Morelló at 1.4 km, all reachable on foot in under twenty minutes. Golf is further out, Club de Golf Ifach at 6.9 km and Altea Club de Golf at 7.0 km, requiring a short drive. Alicante-Elche Airport (ALC) lies approximately 66 km straight-line from Calpe, typically around an hour to an hour and a quarter by road; Valencia Airport (VLC) is roughly 104 km away. The marinas of Puerto Blanco (1.8 km) and Les Basetes (3.5 km) serve sailing and water sports. The hospital at 18 km is the most significant distance for daily infrastructure, while supermarkets, pharmacies, banks and schools all fall within the immediate neighbourhood.

Calpe records an average annual temperature of 18.3°C with a monthly range of roughly 11, 26°C, and 3,840 sunshine hours per year, figures consistent with the northern Costa Blanca's mild winters and warm, dry summers. The swimming season extends to about five months with sea temperatures at or above 20°C, typically May through October. The town sits at 57 metres above sea level, and the property's central location is on flat terrain, so no significant slope affects access. The dominant natural landmark is the Penyal d'Ifac, the limestone rock rising directly from the coast and protected as a natural park; the salinas wetlands with bird observatories at 1.6, 1.7 km add a second natural element within the urban boundary. The climate supports year-round outdoor activity, which in turn sustains the tourist and commercial economy on which a business in this location depends.

Calpe holds three Blue Flag beaches: Cantal Roig, La Fossa and L'Arenal-Bol, placing the town within the top tier of certified coastal quality on the Costa Blanca. Cantal Roig lies 1.2 km from the premises, with La Fossa and L'Arenal-Bol slightly further along the bay. Smaller coves, Cala la Mançanera at 757 m and Cala del Morelló at 1.4 km, offer quieter swimming spots closer to hand. Recreational infrastructure extends beyond the sand: three golf courses within 14 km (Ifach 6.9 km, Altea 7.0 km, Jávea 14 km), two marinas within 3.5 km, and the municipal sports hall and pool roughly 100 metres from the property. The Penyal d'Ifac hiking trail and the salinas walkways provide non-beach recreation, the latter starting 1.6 km away. For a commercial operator, this concentration means a broad seasonal visitor base; for personal use, most leisure options require no vehicle.
