Alicante

Taking your private chartered flight to Alicante is a pleasure. This sun-drenched area of Costa Blanca has everything: the weather, the beaches, the nightlife and rich history.

Choosing somewhere to stay is another pleasure and one hotel that ticks all the right boxes is Hotel Hospés Amerigo. Set in the 19th-century Dominican convent, this hotel is nestled in the heart of the Old Town offering a rooftop spa and beautiful views of Alicante Cathedral and Santa Bárbara Castle.

For a little more privacy there are a wealth of private hire villas conveniently situated near the beach and the many well-kept golf courses offered in the region.

If you’re hoping to sample some of the city’s best tapas, then a trip to D’Tablas Alicante never disappoints. Or to match with some of the best wine in the area, you might consider a wine and food pairing evening at the El Portal restaurant. Always worth booking in advance if you can.

The region’s beautiful Mediterranean climate means some of the best wines in the world are produced right here, but the traditional dessert wine fondillion is rarely found outside the area, so snap up a case or two.

Besides eating and drinking in style there’s plenty to experience in the city itself. Start with a trip to the aforementioned stunning cathedral and imposing Santa Bárbara Castle, whose origins date back to the 9th century.

Wander down the main esplanade, pausing for refreshments at any of the numerous bars and cafes before you hit the beautiful beaches ready for a day of serious relaxation.

If you’re looking to head out of the city. A trip to the stunning Algar waterfalls or Guadalest Valley is just under an hour away.

Getting around Alicante is a simple enough affair. Public transport is available in the form of buses or trams, which run underground in parts. This tram network also runs along the coast connecting numerous towns and villages.

But it’s just as easy to jump in a taxi, hire a car or a chauffeur and car through the numerous desks at the airport or by booking in advance.

This is a city that’s so full of energy and life. When you book your private jet charter to Alicante you can’t help but get caught up in the fun and vibrancy of this unique part of Spain.
