Apartamentos la barca
Steps from Poniente Beach with sea-view balconies
About this hotel
Apartamentos la Barca offers genuine beachfront access, with Poniente Beach just metres away and the Church of San Jaime and Santa Ana a three-minute walk. Plaza Mayor Square sits three hundred metres out. Each apartment comes with a private bathroom, air conditioning and a terrace or balcony with sea views, alongside a kitchenette, dining area and free WiFi, a genuinely self-catering setup rather than a hotel room with a mini fridge added on. A 24-hour front desk, family rooms and free toiletries round out the practical side, and the surrounding streets hold Poniente Beach, Plaza Mayor Square and Aiguera Park all within walking distance. Alicante-Elche Airport is 59 kilometres away, roughly an hour by road.
- Poniente beachfront
- Sea-view balcony
- Kitchenette
- Family rooms
Our take
This suits self-catering families and couples who want to be genuinely on the beachfront rather than a short walk from it, with sea-view balconies that few comparable Poniente apartments can match. The kitchenette and dining area make longer stays practical on a tighter budget. Travellers wanting hotel-style amenities like a pool or restaurant on-site should look elsewhere, since la Barca keeps its offer to the apartment and its position.
- ✓Request a sea-view balcony specifically, since apartment views vary within the same building.
- ✓Shop early at nearby Plaza Mayor Square markets for the freshest produce for your kitchenette.
- ✓Walk to Aiguera Park in the late afternoon when the midday heat has eased.
Why we love it

Why guests love itWaking up to the sea view from our balcony each morning was the highlight of the week, Poniente Beach close enough that we could check the waves before deciding on breakfast. The kitchenette meant we cooked most meals ourselves, cutting the week's cost noticeably compared with a hotel-only stay. Plaza Mayor Square's shops and cafés were an easy three-hundred-metre walk for the evenings we did want to go out.
