Property in Villajoyosa — what buyers need to know
Villajoyosa (La Vila Joiosa) combines colourful seafront houses, a protected historic old town registered as a Bien de Interés Cultural, 15 km of coastline and a lifestyle rooted in the daily rhythm of a Spanish coastal town rather than a purely resort atmosphere. It's a municipality in the Province of Alicante, capital of the Marina Baixa comarca, with 13 beaches and coves — and a distinctly authentic feel that's increasingly rare on the Costa Blanca.
For international buyers this means a very attractive combination: real Spain, yet close to Benidorm, Alicante and the airport. Whether you're looking for a second home, a year-round residence or a long-term investment, Villajoyosa offers far more character than many more commercially developed resorts — while remaining highly practical.

Frequently asked questions
Is Villajoyosa a good place to live?
Yes, especially for those wanting to combine sea, Spanish atmosphere and year-round functionality. Villajoyosa has a beach in the town centre, a wide restaurant scene, a marina, a hospital, local shops and TRAM connections to Alicante and Benidorm. The historic centre and fishing port give it far more authenticity than many resort-only locations.
How much does property cost in Villajoyosa?
The average asking price was approx. €3,300/m² in March 2026 (+23.8% year-on-year). Older smaller flats can start from around €138,000–167,500; well-located apartments near the beach from around €240,000–280,000; new developments typically €360,000–588,000; penthouses and premium villas significantly more.
Is Villajoyosa a good investment?
Yes, but selectively. Tourist demand on the Costa Blanca remains strong and the tourist apartment sector grew even after regulatory tightening. Best returns come from well-located beachfront apartments, high-quality finishes or distinctive zones like the old town or Montiboli. Always verify short-term rental regulations and community rules before buying.
Is Villajoyosa quieter than Benidorm?
Generally yes. Benidorm remains the main hotel hub of the region, while Villajoyosa retains the scale of a coastal town with a historic centre, fishing port and a more local rhythm of life. You can be very close to Benidorm's infrastructure while living considerably more quietly in La Vila.
How far is Villajoyosa from Alicante airport?
Approx. 50 km from Alicante-Elche Airport (ALC). You can take bus C6 to Luceros station in Alicante, then TRAM line L1 directly to La Vila Joiosa. The L1 TRAM also connects the town with Benidorm.
