Discover the echoes of bygone civilisations that once populated the Mediterranean on your holiday in El Campello.

El Campello is a town just 8 miles north-east of Alicante with a unique historical heritage. The archaeological site of La Illeta dels Banyets is a particular highlight, more than 5000 years old and one of the most important sites on the shores of the Mediterranean. This town also attracts plenty of visitors captivated by the beauty of its beaches.

Check out our deals for cheap trips to El Campello to learn about the hidden secrets of our civilisation. The Illeta dels Banyets, declared an Asset of Cultural Interest, is home to vestiges from the Bronze Age, the Iberian period and the Roman Empire. Near this important archaeological site stands La Torre de la Illeta, a tower that presides over the marina. This tower was built in the mid-16th century to protect the coasts from Berber pirates.

El Campello is not just a great choice for its history, though, as you’ll find more curiosities in this town worth visiting, such as the fish auction. At sunset, the fishermen return to the port in their boats and auction off the catch of the day. Everyone’s welcome to take part in the auction. Are you in?

If you’re yearning to feel the sea breeze on your face, then our package deals to El Campello are for you. With a coastline spanning 14 miles, El Campello offers beaches to suit all tastes. From urban beaches, such as Muchavista, which connects to San Juan beach in Alicante, to secluded coves to the north, with their crystalline waters flanked on all sides by cliffs, such as the Cala d'Enmig or Cala del Llop Marí, ideal for scuba diving.

On your trip to El Campello, remember that it’s only 9 miles from L'Altet International Airport, with great transport connections by road, thanks to the Mediterranean motorway. If you prefer public transport, El Campello is connected to Alicante, Benidorm and Dénia by tram. There is also a major metropolitan bus service. Enjoy your dream vacation!
