September is one of Alicante’s best-kept secrets. While most summer visitors have already returned home, the province continues to enjoy warm sunshine, pleasant sea temperatures and a relaxed atmosphere. It is the perfect time to explore the Costa Blanca without the crowds, enjoy local gastronomy and discover charming villages at your own pace.
Whether you dream of waking up close to the Mediterranean or prefer the tranquillity of the mountains, September offers the ideal balance between relaxation and adventure.
Enjoy the beaches without the summer crowds
One of the greatest advantages of visiting Alicante in September is the coastline. The sea is still warm after the summer, yet the beaches are quieter and more peaceful.
From San Juan Beach and Muchavista to hidden coves along the Costa Blanca, you can swim, walk along the shore or simply relax under the Mediterranean sun without the busy atmosphere of July and August.
If staying close to the sea is your priority, Casa La Torreta – Descanso Mediterráneo in San Juan is an excellent choice. Located just minutes from the beach and Alicante city, it offers the perfect combination of comfort, tranquillity and easy access to the region’s main attractions.

Discover Alicante city at a slower pace
September is also an excellent month to explore Alicante itself.
Visit the impressive Santa Bárbara Castle, stroll along the famous Explanada de España, enjoy the marina or discover the old town’s charming streets and squares. With milder temperatures, sightseeing becomes far more enjoyable than during the hottest weeks of summer.
The city’s restaurants and terraces remain lively, offering fresh seafood, traditional rice dishes and excellent local wines.
Explore the natural beauty of Tibi
If you prefer nature and peaceful surroundings, head inland to Tibi, one of Alicante’s hidden gems.
Located only about 30 minutes from Alicante, Tibi offers hiking trails, mountain landscapes and the historic Tibi reservoir, one of the oldest functioning dams in Europe. It is an ideal destination for travellers looking to disconnect from everyday life while remaining close to the coast.
Staying at the Casa de las Piedras en Tibi allows you to enjoy quiet mornings, fresh mountain air and authentic rural charm while still being within easy reach of Alicante, Elche, Alcoy and the beaches of the Costa Blanca.
