Get Your Free QuoteGran Alacant is a modern residential development of 10,000 residents with around 18% expats — British, Scandinavian, and German — perched above the dramatic Carabassí Beach cliffs, just five minutes from Alicante-Elche airport and popular with families and professionals who want coast, convenience, and community.
Gran Alacant was purpose-built from the 1980s onwards on the elevated ground between Santa Pola and Alicante, and it shows in the layout: wide streets, modern infrastructure, communal pools, and a commercial centre with supermarkets, restaurants, and services that mean residents rarely need to leave. El Faro, the central commercial and social hub, gives the development a focal point that many sprawling urbanisations lack.
The star attraction is Carabassí Beach, a long stretch of golden sand backed by low sandstone cliffs that glow orange at sunset. The beach is accessed by wooden walkways down the cliff face, and the relatively undeveloped coastline — no beachfront towers here — gives Gran Alacant a more natural feel than you might expect from a planned development. The cliffs themselves create a spectacular backdrop for evening barbecues on the terraces above.
Property prices average around €190,000, with modern two-bedroom apartments from €130,000 and three-bedroom townhouses with private gardens from €200,000. Detached villas are less common but available from €280,000 upwards. The modern construction throughout means terraces are generous, gardens are flat and well-drained, and utility connections are straightforward — all factors that simplify outdoor kitchen installations.
Gran Alacant combines modern infrastructure, proximity to Alicante airport, and the dramatic Carabassí Beach cliffs to create a practical yet scenic setting for outdoor cooking — with property designs that make equipment installation straightforward.
Gran Alacant’s modern apartments and townhouses are designed with outdoor living in mind — generous terraces, flat gardens, and good utility access make equipment choice the enjoyable part rather than the logistical challenge.
The majority of Gran Alacant properties are apartments or townhouses, and most come with terraces of 15 to 30 square metres — significantly larger than typical Spanish apartment balconies. For these spaces, Costa Blanca Outdoors recommends a mid-size gas BBQ with three burners, which fits comfortably against a terrace wall while providing enough cooking surface for a family dinner or a gathering of six to eight. The modern tile and stone terrace surfaces common here are heat-resistant and easy to clean, which simplifies placement.
A kamado grill is an increasingly popular choice in Gran Alacant, particularly among the international community. A 21-inch model sits well on a townhouse patio or a larger apartment terrace, and its versatility — grilling, smoking, roasting, baking — appeals to residents who want one piece of equipment that does everything. The sheltered position of most Gran Alacant terraces, tucked behind walls and windbreaks, means kamado temperature control is easier here than on exposed coastal properties.
Townhouse owners with private gardens have the option of a more ambitious setup. A built-in BBQ counter with storage, a pizza oven on a stone base, and space for a dining table creates an outdoor room that extends the living space of the property substantially — particularly valuable given that Gran Alacant’s elevation catches cooling sea breezes that make outdoor dining comfortable even in August.
Costa Blanca Outdoors recommends 3-burner gas BBQs or 21-inch kamados for Gran Alacant’s generous terraces, with built-in outdoor kitchen options available for townhouse owners with private gardens.
We deliver throughout Gran Alacant, covering all residential phases from the El Faro commercial centre to the cliff-edge properties overlooking Carabassí Beach, on our central coastal route.
Gran Alacant is one of the most delivery-friendly developments we serve. The wide, well-maintained roads were designed for modern vehicle access, and most apartment blocks have goods lifts and ground-floor loading areas. Townhouse streets have ample parking and direct access to front gardens, making heavy item placement straightforward.
The development is organised in numbered phases, and our delivery team knows the layout well — including the one-way systems and speed bumps that can catch first-time visitors off guard. We confirm your exact phase and street number when scheduling to ensure the driver arrives without delays.
Gran Alacant sits between Santa Pola to the south and Alicante to the north, and we combine deliveries across all three areas regularly. Elche is also on the same route, just fifteen minutes inland via the motorway. Standard delivery takes 5–10 working days for in-stock products, with custom outdoor kitchen builds requiring 3–4 weeks from design to installation.
Living in Gran Alacant offers a unique microclimate that differs significantly from the flat plains of Elche or the sheltered streets of Alicante. Whether your property is tucked away in the established lower phases near Carabassí Beach or perched on the ridge near El Faro, your outdoor furniture choice is dictated by the environment. With roughly 18% of our 10,000 residents being international—largely British, Scandinavian, and German—there is a sophisticated demand for outdoor spaces that function as primary living areas. I have found that Scandinavian residents often prioritise sleek, minimalist aluminium frames that catch the morning sun, while British homeowners frequently look for substantial, cushioned daybeds that offer a sanctuary for long afternoons. Given the average property price here sits around €190,000, investing in high-quality loungers is a practical way to increase the usable square footage of your home without a major renovation.
The primary challenge for furniture here is the exposed coastal position. We face two dominant forces: the humid Levante wind from the sea and the dry, dusty Poniente from inland. If you live within two kilometres of the shore, salt spray is a constant factor that will corrode inferior metals within a single season. I strongly advise against cheap steel-framed loungers, which will bleed rust onto your terrace tiles at the first sign of humidity. Instead, I recommend powder-coated aluminium frames or high-grade teak. For example, a professional-grade adjustable aluminium lounger with a textilene base, priced around €225, offers the necessary resistance to salt air while remaining heavy enough not to be tossed across the terrace by a sudden gust. You must also account for the intense UV radiation that defines the Costa Blanca. Any fabric that isn't solution-dyed acrylic or Olefin will fade from vibrant blue to a dull grey in less than six months. Always check your Comunidad de Propietarios rules before installing permanent Balinese daybeds, as some urbanisations have strict regulations regarding the height of structures visible from the communal walkways.
Your property type in Gran Alacant dictates your configuration. For the spacious detached villas found in the higher parts of the town, I often recommend a focal-point setup using a luxury Balinese daybed, which typically ranges from €1,500 to €3,000 depending on the timber and fabric specifications. These units provide 4m² of dedicated relaxation space and pair perfectly with side tables for a complete poolside environment. Conversely, for the compact balconies of beachfront apartments or Novamar-style townhouses, space is your most valuable commodity. In these instances, I suggest stackable, slimline loungers that can be easily tucked away during the winter months. Integrating your loungers with matching rattan-lounge-sets creates a cohesive aesthetic, but never forget the necessity of a high-quality cantilever parasol. Without adequate shade, even the most expensive lounger becomes unusable between 2:00 PM and 5:00 PM in July. Adding bespoke outdoor cushions with quick-dry foam technology ensures that your setup is ready for use even after a morning cleaning or a rare coastal shower.
Navigating the steep hills and specific one-way systems of Gran Alacant requires local logistics knowledge. My team regularly delivers and installs across all phases of the town, as well as neighbouring Santa Pola, Guardamar, and the wider Elche region. We understand the physical constraints of delivering large daybeds to clifftop properties where access roads can be narrow and parking is often restricted. We don't just drop boxes at the gate; we assemble, position, and ensure all packaging is removed so your terrace is ready for immediate use. If you are unsure which materials will best survive the specific exposure levels of your particular street or urbanisation, I am always available for a free consultation to walk through the options that fit your budget and property style.
