Tourist season in Altea — when is the best time to go?
When is the best moment to book a holiday in Altea, and in which months is the Costa Blanca most pleasant? The climate in Altea from April to November is perfect for travel: a mild spring, hot summer and velvet autumn.
Spring brings early warmth: in April temperatures reach +18…+22°C, orange trees bloom and the old town comes back to life after winter. It is an ideal time for walks and excursions, as the sea is still cool (+16–17°C). May is already summery: +22…+26°C during the day, water around +19°C. The summer season starts, hotels begin to fill up, but the beaches are not crowded yet. June in Altea is especially comfortable: air temperatures up to +29°C, water around +24°C — an excellent choice for families with children. July and August bring a truly Mediterranean summer: air up to +32°C, water about +27°C. September is velvet-season time: +27…+29°C, the sea stays warm at around +25°C and there are fewer tourists, which creates a calmer atmosphere. October is pleasantly mild, about +24°C, with water around +23°C — perfect for walks, excursions and hikes in Sierra Bernia. In November, Altea enjoys a warm autumn with +18…+21°C. Although the water is already cool for swimming, the sun shines generously and the old town breathes tranquillity.
According to reviews from travellers from Moldova, the best time for beach holidays in Altea is from June to September, while spring and autumn are ideal for those who value beauty, comfort and a rich cultural programme.
Top 5 popular beaches in Altea
The beaches of Altea stand out for their natural beauty and relaxed atmosphere. Unlike neighbouring resorts, pebbles and coarse sand dominate here, which makes the water particularly clear. Travellers from Chișinău who have visited the area with Admiral Travel note the peaceful vibe and the well-maintained beaches, equipped with sunbeds, changing cabins, showers and welcoming cafes.
1. Playa de la Roda — the main town beach with fine pebbles, stretching along the Paseo Marítimo promenade. Ideal for seaside walks and relaxing by the water, with cafes, restaurants and art galleries nearby.

What to do in Altea
Altea is suitable both for a lazy beach break and for an active holiday full of culture and nature.
— Wander through the old town and climb up to the Church of Our Lady with its blue domes: from the viewing terrace you get spectacular views over the bay and the surrounding coastline.

Altea — are there “all inclusive” hotels?
Unlike major resort areas, Altea offers an elegant, intimate experience rather than loud “all inclusive” holidays. Here you are more likely to find boutique hotels, apartments with kitchens, family-run guesthouses and stylish villas by the sea. Most properties are just a short walk from the beach and boast beautiful views of the bay, yachts and the old quarters. Hotels in Altea are appreciated for their design and warm ambience — you are more likely to be served breakfast on the terrace than see a huge buffet.
For beach holidays, we recommend accommodation near La Roda or Cap Blanch beaches. Families with children may prefer complexes with pools close to the promenade. Romantic couples will love apartments in the historic centre, with terraces and views of Sierra Bernia.
