Why living in Benissa is so special
Benissa is one of the oldest towns on the Costa Blanca, with a beautiful old town where you can walk through narrow streets past white facades, Gothic churches and local shops. The town has retained its soul and combines it with a refined, quiet lifestyle.
The name Benissa has its origins in the Arabic language. “Ben Isa” means “sons of Isa”. As many villages and towns on the Costa Blanca begin with “Beni”, you realise the impact of the Moorish influence on this region.
What makes Benissa attractive:
- Historic town centre with cultural charm
- Coastal area of more than 4 km, with bays such as Cala Baladrar, Cala Advocat and Cala Fustera
- Unspoilt nature, pine trees and viewpoints over the sea
- Numerous hiking and wine routes through the hinterland
- Central location: a short distance from Moraira, Calpe and Jávea
In short: in Benissa you still live a truly Spanish life and escape the hustle and bustle in this authentic, picturesque town, in peace and quiet, but with luxury and comfort within reach.
