Active holiday on the Costa Blanca
Active holidays on the Costa Blanca have become very popular in recent years. People increasingly seek adventure sports to experience the pure adrenaline. With over 240 kilometres of coastline and around 74 different beaches, the Costa Blanca also offers excellent opportunities for water sports.
Dormio Resort Costa Blanca is the ideal beach resort to unwind after an active day in the beautiful surroundings. Thanks to the good weather and the perfect combination of sea and mountains, you can always enjoy an unforgettable stay at the Costa Blanca, even in winter!

Diving during your holiday on the Costa Blanca
The marine reserve del Cabo de San Antonio is a perfect diving location on the Costa Blanca. This cape consists of 150-metre-high cliffs and is special because of its numerous fauna and crystal-clear waters. On the seabed you will find corals and posidonia oceanica. The beautiful seabed is inhabited by octopus, groupers, cuttlefish and sea bream, among others. A true spectacle not to be missed during your active holiday on the Costa Blanca!
Furthermore, we recommend diving in la Cala del Portitxol; one of the most beautiful bays in the province of Alicante. Like most of the beaches on the Costa Blanca, this bay has calm and crystal-clear waters and amazing flora and fauna. However, Cala del Portitxol has something unique, namely a plant-rich island a short distance from the shore with high archaeological value. This makes a visit to this diving point a real must!
Adventure sports on the Mediterranean
Always wanted to fly over the sea? Then flyboarding is something for you! This exciting sport is becoming increasingly popular, which is no surprise. A flyboard is connected to a jet ski by means of a large hose. The pressure of the water pushes you up and you feel yourself flying over the water with a great adrenaline rush. The best places on the Costa Blanca to practice this sporting activity are Torrevieja and Santa Pola.
Another adventurous sport is taking a ride on a jet ski. You don't need any experience or special skills for this. In fact, you can be accompanied by an instructor so all you have to do is enjoy the breathtaking ride. This activity is very popular on the Costa Blanca.
Discover the Costa Blanca from the air
Not only can you practice adventure sports from the ground or water, but also from the air. For example, while paragliding, you can enjoy the panoramic views and the contrast between the sea and the mountains on the Costa Blanca. Immerse yourself in a relaxing flight during your active holiday where you feel like you are floating through the air.
If you want to fly above the Spanish coast, parasailing is the perfect activity for you. This is a combination of water and air sport that is guaranteed to give you spectacular views. You fly over the water thanks to a parachute pulled by a boat.
Would you like to enjoy the view, but prefer an activity that is less stressful? Join a hot-air balloon ride! Experience a unique journey through the sky, gliding through the clouds and flying alongside seagulls during this relaxing flight.
For the truly adventurous, we recommend a helicopter flight or a flight in a small plane. A truly special way to admire the Costa Blanca's landscapes!
Experience even more sporting activities during your stay on the Costa Blanca
Become one with nature by heading into the beautiful mountains! For example, hike along the fantastic trails past the Albir lighthouse, along the cliffs of Benitatxell or along the Barranc de l'encantada gorge.
Would you rather go for an extreme sport? Rock climbing is an active and fun sport, which also offers stunning views of the surrounding area. Three of the best climbing spots for beginners on the Costa Blanca are: Peñon de Ifach, Sierra de Toix, and Sierra Helada.
If you are looking for a quieter sport, horse riding is highly recommended! Take a relaxing trip along the beach. There's nothing like a sea breeze and a trot along the coast, is there?
