Prefer to take things easy?

Spend the day relaxing by the pool or exploring nearby villages like Bolulla, Parcent, or Castell de Guadalest.

For a change of pace, you can reach the coast in 30-40 minutes – from hidden coves to the buzz of Altea or Calpe. Then return to Tàrbena for quiet evenings and starry skies.
