Are you thinking about buying a property in Calpe, but you’re worried about what to do in your free time—or what to do when guests come over? We have great news: Calpe isn’t just peace and quiet, dreamlike beaches, and the majestic Peñón de Ifach; it’s also the gateway to the largest leisure hub on the Costa Blanca.
Just 20–25 minutes by car (or a comfortable ride on the TRAM), Benidorm offers a whole range of experiences that make Calpe the perfect “base camp” for living.
Here are the theme parks you’ll practically have in your own backyard:
If you love big thrills, this park is an absolute must. Divided into the ancient Mediterranean civilizations (Egypt, Greece, and Rome), it blends impressive shows with roller coasters that will take your breath away, such as Titánide or Synkope.
Ideal for: Families with teenagers and lovers of strong adrenaline rushes.
Living on the Costa Blanca means enjoying more than 300 sunny days a year. And when the heat really kicks in, Aqualandia is the top plan. It’s one of Europe’s largest water parks and features Verti-Go, the tallest capsule slide in Europe. If you’d rather something more relaxed, its wave pool and VIP areas are a real treat.
For the days when you want something calmer but just as fascinating, you’ve got two spectacular options:
Mundomar: A marine animal and exotic bird park, known for its dolphin and sea lion shows.
Terra Natura: A “zooinmersion” concept where you can see the animals in habitats that recreate their natural environment faithfully, separated by invisible barriers for the human eye. Plus, it has its very own adjacent water park (Aqua Natura)!
And what if, one day, you’d rather plan a covered afternoon, go shopping, or have fun with friends? A stone’s throw from Calpe, there are fantastic options for all ages:
Shopping Centres: The La Marina Shopping Centre (in Finestrat-Benidorm) has the best fashion stores, restaurants, and terraces to spend the day.
Bowling Alleys and Recreational Areas: In the leisure area you’ll find modern American-style bowling alleys, arcade game rooms, and entertainment spaces with state-of-the-art simulators—ideal for a fun family outing or a get-together with friends.
If you want to enjoy this unique lifestyle—with the peace and quiet of Calpe and all the fun just around the corner—we have the perfect home for you.
