Town of Villa Joyosa is very Spanish. Lovely beach, shops, eating/drinking places. Railway station that goes between Alicante & Denia. There is a Thursday market along from the train station. There is Valor chocolate factory which is free to visit, plus a shop that sells their lovely chocolate. Buses run regularly to various locations. Beach is at the bottom of the hill however there are escalators in the park. Beaches are spotless, sandy and you can wade out quite a distance before getting too deep. A lot of Spanish people holiday in Villa Joyosa. The older town is very pictureesque with all their colours. Depending on the time of the year there are festivals. All in all we always love to visit there. 35/40mins from Alicante airport

If you visit Villajoyosa on Jan 5, you should watch the Three Kings parade and the firework at the end of the event. Please take note that this town celebrates the event on Jan 5, instead of Jan 6 (most of the places in Spain). The Valor museum and the Thursday market are worth to visit.

The city is quite small but a nice one. It takes about 1 hour to get to it from Alicante Luceros by Tram, ticket costs 2.5 EUR (August 2016). I would recommend to visit a chocolate factory Valor, where there are free excursions and you can see the factory inside, later on there is a degustation and you can buy some chocolate. For placed to eat I would recommend restaurants like El Guitarra and Le Cabanon in the coastline and Taberna Tres14 near Tourist office for dinner (I had the best calamares a la romana of my life in Taberna Tres14) and for chocolate and deserts -- Valor cafe in the city center. Definitely take a walk by a promenade in the evening and if you can reach the lighthouse - go for it, too! :) Sea is extremely clean but in the end of August the weather was quite windy. If want to see a really gorgeous beach, then visit Paradis beach (there is a separate Tram station). Really lovely town and prices are very reasonable. I can recommend to stay in this place for a few days (up till 6 or 7).

Depends what you looking for.....no jumping pubs or nights clubs, but good choice of really nice restaurants, beach lovely and we were just across the road. My kids would have liked some water sports or activities but you can always get the train to Benidorm for that. It suited me/us and we had a nice relaxing holiday with a few days out to Alicante and Benidorm.

I have been visiting this town for over 30 years and have watched it grow from a small fishing port with a long beach. Old protected painted Spanish houses at the southern end.Some of which can be rented for holidays. Good shops and friendly people. Some excellent restaurants along the seafront. Large underground 24hr. car park under the promenade. Wonderful sandy beach and a busy interesting fishing harbour. Located about 5 miles south of Benidorm. Safe for children.

What a great place. Just enough culture for me. The old town is wonderful and surrounding countryside is beautiful. Plenty of walking, hiking and cycling available. It's small enough to to really get to "know". If you want millions of cheap, loud bars then it's not for you. If you like some peace and quiet and space.....it's wonderful. Head to the Cale Colon (street name!) to join the locals eating and drinking.
“We have stayed at this hotel a number of times over the years and the standard of cleanliness and food has been maintained There is a good variety of food at the buffets and the chef is quite adventurous never boring”
“Loved it all - hotel, staff, accommodation, food etc all excellent Very clean, well decorated & furnished like a boutique hotel. We had a room facing the church square which had the sun all day and quiet. For British guests there is tea & coffee making facilities which isn't always the case. What you see on the photos is what you get. The town of Villa Joyosa is lovely too very Spanish, lovely beaches, shops and eating / drinking places”
“The only thing going for this 'hotel' was the fact that the staff were friendly”
“I love the location of this hotel”
“Bed and pillows were very comfortable and fresh. There was a great full sized hair dryer. The room overlooked a very charming cobble-stoned square of brightly-colored residential buildings. We lucked out by seeing a parade of marchers of all ages dressed in beautiful folk costumes. It ended at the lovely church that was just feet from the hotel. The location is just a short walk to a number of restaurants on the Mediterranean beach with outdoor seating. We had a wonderful meal in a gorgeous setting.”
