La Vila Joiosa, the historic capital of the Marina Baixa region, is a municipality on the Costa Blanca (Alicante), in the Region of Valencia. It lies 8 kilometres from Benidorm and 32 kilometres from Alicante.
La Vila Joiosa has 15 kilometres of coastline, offering 13 beaches and coves with certificates of quality both for their water and amenities. A municipal area spanning 38.5 kilometres that plays home to a population of some 35,000 inhabitants.
La Vila Joiosa is history, gastronomy, nature and sea all in one, with its own unique identity. Each of the civilisations that have passed through this land —and there have been many— have left their mark.
A history that has always been intrinsically linked to the sea, a Mediterranean full of light, colour and life that bathes the 15 km of coastline of this beautiful seaside town on the Costa Blanca.
It also stages some magnificent Moorish and Christian festivities throughout the year, including the ‘Desembarc’, which has been declared a Festival of International Tourist Interest.
