Airport Guide
Compare 5 airports near Alicante
For most travelers, Alicante-Elche Airport (ALC) is the primary and most convenient gateway, located in the city itself and handling the vast majority of international and domestic traffic. It is the only airport physically within Alicante. Other options are located in neighboring cities and should be considered primarily if flight schedules or pricing offer a significant advantage. Valencia Airport (VLC), located in the nearby city of Valencia, serves a wide range of international and domestic destinations but requires a train or coach journey to reach Alicante. Murcia International Airport (RMU) serves the neighboring city of Murcia and is best utilized by those whose travel plans include the Murcia region. Ibiza Airport (IBZ), located on a separate island, requires a flight or ferry transit to the mainland. Finally, Albacete Airport (ABC) is an inland option in the nearby city of Albacete, offering a quick train connection for travelers arriving from central Spain. Generally, choose the airport closest to your final destination to minimize transit time and costs.

Alicante|0.9km from city center
There's an underground parking garage, so parking is very convenient! The rooftop pool is quite relaxing too! Although it's by the port, you still need to drive or take a taxi to get to the beach and the castle. Our family of four stayed in a suite with two bedrooms, a living room, and two bathrooms! It was incredibly spacious! All the amenities were complete, and there were even welcome chocolates! The beds were large and comfortable! The breakfast was comprehensive, and the ham was super fresh and delicious.FromUS$174

The hotel's location is absolutely fantastic! Palm Avenue, Mushroom Street, and the Castle Elevator are all within walking distance. The room has two bathrooms, both with showers. The room faces east, offering direct views of the sunrise with the beach, sea, and sky right outside the window. Plus, there are plenty of restaurants just across the street – so convenient!FromUS$302

The stay went well. The staff was pleasant despite some difficulty understanding their French.
The food was average, and the descriptions of the dishes were lacking. We were very disappointed with the takeaway breakfast we ordered on the morning of our departure. We had specified a vegetarian option, but we received a ham sandwich, a can of pâté, and a can of tuna 🤣🤣🤣 Yes, tuna, pâté, and ham! When you ask for a vegetarian breakfast, you're bound to lose it!FromUS$152

The hotel is a franchise, so the decor is old; it just rebranded. The facilities inside are very basic. Plus, there are very few parking spaces, so we had to park on the street, which was inconvenient.FromUS$143

Albufereta Alicante|3.58km from city center
Our stay at this hotel was unparalleled. We travel a lot and often stay in hotels and on cruise ships, but rarely have we been so satisfied. There was absolutely nothing to complain about and no shortcomings whatsoever. The staff were very friendly, especially the two Christians at reception and the bar/bistro/restaurant, Monica at reception, and the entire staff was incredibly kind, friendly, and helpful. 5 out of 5 stars and 100/100 points in every respect. A beautiful, bright hotel with a sea view, breakfast for €9.50, dinner for €16, both excellent, very high quality, and superb staff. We would love to come back and book again immediately!FromUS$115

There are no supermarkets or restaurants around the hotel; it's located right at the border between the city and the suburbs. The parking lot is very spacious. Although you can see the sea from the window, there's no direct access to the beach. The breakfast offered very limited options.FromUS$100

San Juan Beach Alicante|7.43km from city center
Got the room towards the back (It has a large balcony, but the sea view is really just very partial)
Still, the room, was spotless clean.
Beds were ok comfy, not great, not terrible.
Bathroom was newly renovated, very nice shower.
Aircon (for heating) worked very well.
No fridge (just for those really wanting one)
Location is good, 5min from Tram stops, 3min from the beach.
Overall, a solid no nonsense hotel.
3* Superior is correctly classified.FromUS$120

While we only had a room for one night as usual Eurostars Lucentum was right up there. We we're given a superior double room with a king-size bed, the bathroom was huge & catered for all our needs. We did not eat at this property but would 100% recommend to family and friends.FromUS$125

I have stayed in Alicante several times. The hotel setting is not comparable to domestic five-star hotels, but it is simple and clean. The room size is also OK. Sunrise, get up early and go downstairs and wait for the sunrise at the beach, the view is great. In the evening, walking on the promenade by the sea is very comfortable. The hotel's breakfast is very good. Generally, you can't eat much breakfast abroad. This breakfast is especially good for adults. It is recommended to continue this one later!FromUS$268

Excellently located along the promenade with many dining options nearby. The view from the balcony was also stunning - great for catching the sunrise/sunset. Room was extremely clean and beautifully decorated, though the TV wasn't a smart one. Breakfast was delicious, although the selection was quite limited. Staff were warm but a bit reserved. Overall, a great stay.FromUS$189
