Xanadu (Calp) is a striking residential building designed by renowned architect Ricardo Bofill, completed in 1971. Its bold, multicolored facade and fortress-like silhouette make it a landmark along the Costa Blanca. Visitors can view the building from the nearby promenade or beach, capturing its unique geometric forms against the Mediterranean backdrop. The structure is privately owned, so access is limited to exterior views, but its distinct appearance offers a memorable photo opportunity and a glimpse into avant-garde Spanish architecture.

- Photograph the building from the Playa de la Fossa for the best angle
- Walk along the promenade to see Xanadu in context with the Peñón de Ifach
