Experience

Villa Lujo is located on the rugged coastal strip of Benissa Costa with wonderful bays and a mountainous hinterland. This northern part of the Costa Blanca is called Marina Alta and is bordered by the Sierra Bernia mountain range that stretches from Altea to Javea. This mountain range ensures that the coastal area has a mild subtropical climate. A delight to stay and explore all year round. The region contains gems of (mountain) villages and takes you via winding roads to the highest peak, the Coll de Rates. Many hiking trails lead to the most beautiful spots. In Jalon and its surroundings are the famous Moscatel vineyards and for cycling pros, Marina Alta is the training ground for the Giro and Tour de France.

Highlights Benissa Costa

The highlights of this area are definitely the many bays (calas in Spanish) at the rugged cliffs between Javea and Calpe. The most famous calas are Cala Granadella and Cala Portitxol near Javea. On Benissa Costa, you can also enjoy the bays with nice beach bars (chiringuitos), such as Cala Advocat, Cala Baladrar and Cala La Fustera and Playa Portet in Moraira.

City trips

El Castell de Guadelest

This village is definitely worth a visit! The old castle offers a beautiful view over the sea and the light blue colored reservoir. The route to it is beautiful.

Altea

Altea is half an hour's drive from Villa Lujo. It is a medium-sized coastal town with an old part of town, Casco Antiguo.

Javea

Further north, Javea is a town that is getting slowly more name recognition. The old part of town is cosy with many narrow streets and small tapas bars, by the sea people stay on the promenade and the large sandy beach El Arenal or on the more intimate pebble beach near the port. The Iglesia de Nuestra Señora de Loreto on the coast is a remarkable structure. Definitely worth a visit.
