Welcome to Finestrat
Tucked between mountain and sea, Finestrat is a town of contrasts — blending dramatic landscapes, peaceful coves, and modern coastal living.
Discover Finestrat
Finestrat is one of the most unique towns on the Costa Blanca, offering both a picturesque historic village set against the Puig Campana mountain, and a modern beachside area known as Cala de Finestrat. This coastal zone — surrounded by high-rise buildings and golden sands — borders Benidorm, yet maintains its own distinct identity.
The cove of Cala de Finestrat is perfect for families and beachgoers looking for a calmer atmosphere, while the nearby shopping centers and residential complexes have made the area increasingly attractive for long-term living and real estate investment. Meanwhile, the old town of Finestrat, perched inland, preserves its traditional charm and spectacular mountain views. The contrast between seaside convenience and village authenticity is what truly sets Finestrat apart.

Finestrat offers the best of both worlds. Whether you’re enjoying a swim in the tranquil Cala or hiking toward the cliffs of Puig Campana, this area delivers natural beauty and livable convenience in equal measure.
The modern residential developments near the beach attract digital nomads, retirees, and investors alike, while the historic town center offers a more peaceful, traditional way of life. Its close proximity to Benidorm, golf courses, and major highways makes Finestrat a strategic location — ideal for those who want proximity without the chaos, and a lifestyle that mixes comfort, nature, and opportunity.
