Family holidays in Altea
Altea (Spain), located on the shores of the Costa Blanca, seems tailor-made for family holidays under the southern sun. Thanks to its position between the sea and the mountains, the climate in Altea stays gentle even in summer — without suffocating heat, which makes the resort particularly comfortable for holidays with children or elderly travellers. Here, right where the prime meridian passes, a special natural harmony reigns, and the blue sea along the Altea shoreline delights with its cleanliness and tranquillity.
Hotels in this charming corner of Spain gladly welcome families with children, offering everything for a comfortable and fun stay: shallow pools, water slides, play areas and colourful animation, enjoyed by both kids and adults. But Altea is much more than just beach relaxation. Above the white houses of the old town, among cypresses and cobbled alleys, rises the Church of Our Lady of Consolation with its blue domes — the well-known symbol of the resort. Next to it you will find a panoramic viewpoint with some of the most beautiful vistas — a perfect spot for memorable family photos.
Strolling along the picturesque streets with cafés and small shops, visiting the Museum of Musical Instruments and local art galleries turn your holiday into an engaging and educational journey. For those who prefer active adventures, there are yacht trips from the marinas Club Náutico de Altea and Marina Greenwich, or hikes in the Sierra Bernia mountains, where mysterious rock paintings around 5000 years old have been preserved among the cliffs.

Holiday season in Altea: when is the best time to go?
When is the best time to visit Altea and which months are good for the beach? For travellers from Cluj-Napoca we recommend holidays in Altea from April to November — during these months the climate on the Costa Blanca coastline is mild, with plenty of sunshine and pleasant temperatures.
Spring arrives early in Altea: already in April you are welcomed by blooming citrus groves, blue skies and air temperatures around +18…+22 °C. The sea is still cool — around +16…+17 °C, but walks and excursions are especially enjoyable at this time. May brings truly warm weather to the Costa Blanca: the air reaches +26 °C, the water heats up to about +19 °C, and there are still relatively few tourists, making the holiday calm and relaxed.
The summer season in Altea brings warmth without discomfort: the mountains surrounding the resort protect it from overheating, while the sea breeze brings freshness even on the hottest days. In June, conditions in this part of the Valencia region are ideal for families with children: daytime temperatures around +29 °C, sea temperature — about +24 °C. July and August in Altea mark the peak season: the air stays around +32 °C, the sea warms up to +27 °C, and rainfall is very rare.
September in Altea is the very essence of the “velvet season”. Warm air (+27…+29 °C), gentle sea (+25 °C) and fewer tourists create an atmosphere of peace and comfort. October brings a slight cooling to the Costa Blanca: around +24 °C during the day, the sea — about +23 °C. It is an excellent time for walks, quiet moments on open-air terraces and excursions into the Sierra Bernia mountains. November in south-eastern Spain remains quite warm for autumn: +18…+21 °C; the sea cools down, but the sun still provides warmth and Altea gains a special autumn charm.
According to reviews from travellers from Romania, the best months for a beach holiday in Altea are June–September. Spring and autumn attract those who are looking for inspiration, tranquillity and cultural activities without crowds.
