Best areas to stay in Villajoyosa
Although it is not a huge city, "La Vila" has a varied topography and coastline that offer different types of holidays depending on where you stay.
The Old Town and Playa Centro
The vibrant heart of the city. Stay here to be surrounded by the famous colorful houses, narrow streets, the Church of the Assumption, and the Amadorio River. You will be facing the immense Playa Centro, full of restaurants and beach bars.
Montíboli Area (South)
Located south of the urban center. Stay here if you are looking for a luxury getaway, tranquility, and panoramic views. The coast becomes rocky and the hotels and villas sit on cliffs, offering access to more private coves like La Caleta.
El Paraíso and Bol Nou Beach
An excellent alternative to the main beach. Stay here if you are traveling with a family or prefer wide sand and pebble beaches with a less urban atmosphere. Campsites (like the Kampaoh glamping concept) and large apartment complexes abound.
The Port and Playa del Torres (North)
Stay to the north to be close to the fish market (where you can see the fish auction) and the coastal path that takes you to the Tower of Hercules. It is a quieter area but maintains the fishing essence of the city.

Stay in the south area (towards Playa del Paraíso) to have easy walking access to this Iberian hill that offers some of the best panoramic views of the coast.
Hotels near the Vilamuseu
The museum that houses the treasures of the Roman wreck Bou Ferrer is located in the center. Stay near Calle Colón to have immediate access to its history.

Which area suits your trip?
Best to experience the urban and traditional essence
Old Town / Playa Centro. If you want to leave your hotel or apartment, shop in local businesses, sit on a terrace facing the sea, and not touch the car, this is your area.
Best for high-level romantic getaways
The south (Montíboli / La Caleta). The coves between cliffs offer a much more exclusive and serene atmosphere than urban beaches, ideal for disconnecting completely.
Best for campsites and unhurried holidays
Playa del Paraíso or Playa del Torres. If you travel with a tent, van, or prefer large car parks and less crowded beaches, the extremes of the municipality offer excellent options.
Best for exploring the Costa Blanca
Near the TRAM station. If you plan to visit Alicante, Benidorm, or Altea without using the car, finding an accommodation within walking distance of the TRAM Metropolitano is very smart.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) about hotels in Villajoyosa
How do I get to Villajoyosa from Alicante airport?
Alicante-Elche Airport (ALC) is about 40 minutes away by car. You can rent a vehicle, take an ALSA bus, or take a bus to Alicante city and take the picturesque TRAM Metropolitano (Line 1) direct to La Vila.
Why are the houses painted in colors?
Tradition has it that fishermen painted the facades with leftover paint from their boats. This allowed them to spot their home from the high seas when returning from fishing.
Is Villajoyosa better than Benidorm?
It depends on what you are looking for. It is only 10 km from Benidorm, but the atmosphere is completely opposite. La Vila is much quieter, traditional, low in height, and oriented towards family and gastronomic tourism (there are no large nightclubs).
When are the Moors and Christians festivals held?
They are held in the last week of July and are declared of International Tourist Interest. The spectacular Landing on the beach at dawn stands out. During these dates, hotels fill up quickly, so book well in advance.
