How does it actually work?

You pick the group that fits you on this website, click the WhatsApp button, send us a message, and within 48 hours (usually the same day) a real person adds you to the right WhatsApp community. That's it. No apps to download, no login, no fees.

Yes. Joining any Alicante People Club group is 100 percent free. We do not sell your number, we do not spam the chat, we do not run ads inside the groups.

Can I join more than one group?

Absolutely. If you're a digital nomad who swims at Postiguet every morning and hikes on Sundays, join the Nomads, Beach Social and Hiking groups. Most members are in 2 to 4 groups.

What's the group size? Won't it be spammy?

Each group stays under 250 members with active moderation. Anyone posting promo, crypto, or off-topic links gets removed. The chat is for members, by members.

I'm only in Alicante for 5 days. Worth joining?

That's exactly why Short-Stay Visitors exists. You get a welcome dinner, an airport-pickup carpool, and a dozen locals telling you the real spots within hours of landing.

I don't have WhatsApp. Another option?

WhatsApp is how most of Alicante actually runs - group chats for everything from padel courts to school runs. If you're staying a while it's the one app to install. If you really can't, message us from the contact page and we'll figure something out.

Are these groups safe? Vetted?

Every new member sends one intro message before being added - 1 photo, first name, where you're from, which group you want. We remove anyone flagged for harassment or scams. We're a community of residents and travellers, not a business directory.

Alicante People Club is run by long-term Alicante residents and travellers who believe nobody should stay alone here. We started informally with one WhatsApp group; now we moderate ten. It's a labor of love, not a company.
