Are there good schools in Altea for families with children?
Altea itself has limited international school options, but nearby areas are well-served. Lady Elizabeth School (15 minutes) in Jávea and Laude Newton College (40 minutes) provide prestigious British curriculum education. Spanish state schools in Altea and surrounding areas offer excellent education with cultural immersion. Many families choose Spanish schools for full integration while maintaining English through private tutoring. The established expat community can provide personalized recommendations.
What property taxes should I expect in Altea?
Annual property tax (IBI) for luxury villas typically ranges from €2,000-€5,000+ depending on cadastral value. Additional costs include community fees if applicable (€100-€300 monthly), utilities (€150-€300 monthly), and property insurance (€800-€1,500 annually). Wealth tax may apply to high-value properties for non-residents. Overall annual costs should be budgeted at 2-3% of property purchase price, which is reasonable for a premium Mediterranean location.
How easy is it to renovate or build property in Altea?
Altea has strict planning regulations designed to preserve the town's character and natural environment. Building permissions require careful navigation and can be time-consuming. Renovation projects are generally more straightforward than new construction. It's essential to work with local legal advisors experienced in Altea's planning requirements. The effort to obtain permissions reflects the town's commitment to maintaining its unique character, which ultimately protects property values.
What healthcare quality can I expect in Altea?
Healthcare in Altea is excellent through local private clinics and nearby Hospital Marina Baixa (15 minutes). EU residents access the Spanish public healthcare system, while others obtain private insurance easily. Many doctors have trained internationally and serve the expatriate community. The region's healthcare standards match Western European norms. Specialist services are available in nearby towns, with Alicante's major hospital (45 minutes) for complex treatments.
How does Altea compare to nearby Calpe and Benidorm?
Altea commands premium prices and exclusivity due to its artistic heritage and sophisticated atmosphere. Calpe offers iconic natural beauty (Peñón de Ifach) and strong Russian/German community but is more resort-oriented. Benidorm provides urban energy, entertainment, and larger international community but lacks Altea's artistic character. Altea is ideal for those prioritizing cultural engagement and exclusivity, while Calpe suits nature lovers and Benidorm appeals to those seeking cosmopolitan lifestyle and entertainment.
