Welcome to Benissa

Charming, historic, and full of Mediterranean soul — Benissa offers a unique mix of inland tradition and dramatic coastline on the Costa Blanca.

Discover Benissa

Benissa is one of the oldest towns on the Costa Blanca, known for its beautifully preserved historic center, scenic countryside, and a spectacular stretch of coastline dotted with coves and cliffs. The town itself sits slightly inland, offering stunning views and a peaceful atmosphere, while its coastal area — including Cala Advocat and Cala Baladrar — attracts those looking for a more private beach experience.

With its traditional Spanish feel, gothic architecture, and authentic town square, Benissa appeals to those looking for something quieter and more rooted in local culture. The area is also a hub for hiking and cycling, especially in the nearby Sierra de Bernia, and offers easy access to nearby towns like Moraira and Calpe. Whether you’re visiting or settling down, Benissa delivers the perfect balance between coast and country.

Why Benissa

Benissa is for those who want to experience the Costa Blanca beyond the tourist trail. Its historic charm, slower pace of life, and proximity to both mountains and sea make it ideal for retirees, families, and anyone craving authenticity.

Whether you’re strolling through medieval streets, enjoying local tapas in a sunlit square, or relaxing in a quiet coastal cove, Benissa offers a unique kind of luxury — one defined by space, silence, and simplicity. It’s also becoming increasingly popular among international buyers who value tradition, privacy, and lifestyle quality.
