The Peñón de Ifach divides Calpe in two: is your hotel north or south?
Unlike many other destinations, finding your way around Calpe is straightforward: everything is oriented around the Peñón. Knowing which side of the rock your accommodation is on helps determine the drop-off point and avoids crossing the town unnecessarily when you arrive.
North of the rock
La Fossa Beach (Levante)
The long, lively beach lined with most of the seafront hotels and apartments, as well as the promenade. The most popular area for holidays.
South of the rock
Arenal-Bol and the old town
The beach beside the historic centre, with its colourful houses, fishing port and salt lakes where flamingos can be seen. A more traditional Spanish town atmosphere.
Many properties are also located in residential developments on the hillsides; in these cases, the exact name of the development and street address is what determines the correct drop-off point.
How to get from Alicante Airport to Calpe
Alicante Airport is around 75 km from Calpe, with a typical road journey of 55 to 70 minutes. The route follows the AP-7 motorway north, which is now toll-free, before taking the Calpe exit. It is a straightforward journey within Alicante province, with no tolls, airport pick-up and drop-off at your accommodation's exact address.
It takes a little longer than travelling to Benidorm or Altea because Calpe is further north along the Costa Blanca. In return, you arrive at a more relaxed destination with the Peñón as its striking backdrop.
Taxi fare from Alicante Airport to Calpe
Your private transfer to Calpe is booked at a fixed fare per vehicle, not per person and with no meter, so you know the price before you travel. The fare depends on the number of passengers, luggage and whether your destination is by the beach, in the old town or in a hillside residential area.
Fixed quote in one minute
Enter your passenger numbers, luggage, travel date and Calpe address and you will receive a fixed fare for a saloon car, minivan or minibus, with no surprises when you arrive at Arrivals.
Hillside residential areas: the exact name makes all the difference
A large part of Calpe consists of villas and apartments spread across the hills around the Peñón — areas such as Maryvilla, La Canuta, Empedrola and Gran Sol — with winding roads and scattered house numbers. Here, simply giving "Calpe" is not enough: the name of the residential area, street and house number are what allow the driver to take you straight to the door.
If your accommodation is a rental villa with access instructions or a code, it is best to provide these when booking so the driver does not waste time finding the property on the hillside.

Vehicles, families and late-night flights
Transfers to Calpe are typically for holidays: one or two weeks' worth of luggage, families with pushchairs and longer stays in apartments. As many flights to Alicante land at night or in the early hours, flight-tracked pick-up means you are not left without transport when the bus service is no longer running reliably.
Your vehicle is assigned according to the number of passengers, luggage and child seats required: you can see the available options in the Zonetransfers fleet. For villa stays with journeys around the area, the chauffeur service in Alicante provides a driver at your disposal. Stops and additional services can be requested according to the service terms.
