The best beaches in Villajoyosa

Playa Centro

The most well-known and accessible beach in Villajoyosa. Its wide promenade, lined with palm trees, restaurants and ice cream shops, is perfect for an evening stroll or a refreshing swim in crystal-clear waters. Ideal for families and those who want full amenities without sacrificing peace and quiet. As the sun goes down, Playa Centro comes alive with beach bars and a friendly local atmosphere — always keeping that authentic charm that makes it so special.

Playa del Paradís / Paradise Beach

The name says it all: Playa del Paradís is a true Mediterranean paradise. Golden sand, tall palm trees and an endless blue horizon. It's ideal for those seeking complete disconnection, as it maintains a serene atmosphere even in summer. You'll often spot locals paddleboarding or reading under a parasol. Here, life slows down and the Mediterranean sets the rhythm.

Cala del Bol Nou

Surrounded by red cliffs and turquoise waters, this cove is a hidden gem. Easy enough to reach, yet secluded enough to stay peaceful. Perfect for couples or travellers seeking privacy and a direct connection with nature. Its crystal-clear waters are ideal for diving and snorkelling, revealing a rich and vibrant seabed.

Things to do in Villajoyosa

Colourful Houses of the Old Town

The soul of Villajoyosa lies in its seafront façade: brightly painted houses gazing out to sea. Historically, local fishermen used to paint them in vivid colours so they could spot their homes from the water on their return. Today, they are one of the most photographed spots on the Costa Blanca.

Valor Chocolate Museum

A must for the whole family. Founded by the iconic local brand, the museum takes you on a journey through the history of cacao and the artisan chocolate-making process. At the end, you can sample a selection of Valor products. A great way to spend a morning before heading back to the beach.

Promenade & Fishing Harbour

At sunset, the harbour comes to life. The fishing boats return after a day at sea and the maritime atmosphere blends with the scent of the ocean. At the fish market, you can watch the fresh catch being auctioned — a living tradition that captures the true essence of this place.
