Denia Holidays

Backed by the impressive Montgó Mountain, the charming port city of Denia offers a rich history, vibrant culture, and stunning Mediterranean coastline. Located halfway between Alicante and Valencia on Costa Blanca, Denia is easily accessible and offers a range of attractions, and if you’ve got the energy to hike the hilltops, you’ll be rewarded with stunning views of the city and its surrounding countryside.

The centrepiece is the impressive Denia Castle, perched on a hilltop with panoramic views of the sparkling blue sea. This historic fortress dates back to the 11th century and now houses the Archaeological Museum, where you can explore Denia’s fascinating past. Wind your way through the narrow streets of the old town, El Barrio, to discover traditional Spanish architecture, quaint shops, and cosy cafés.

Denia’s 20 kilometres of coastline boast some of the best beaches in the region, from the golden sands of Las Marinas to the rocky coves of Las Rotas, perfect for sunbathing, swimming, and water sports. The bustling marina area is a hub of activity, offering boat trips, sailing, and fishing excursions, as well as a selection of waterfront restaurants serving fresh seafood, tempting tapas, and local cuisine.

If you love the great outdoors, you’ll appreciate the Montgó Natural Park, a protected area that’s ideal for hiking and birdwatching, with trails leading to the summit of Montgó Mountain for those incredible city views. Denia also hosts several festivals throughout the year, including the colourful Fallas in March and the Bous a la Mar (bulls to the sea) event in July, and features traditional music, dance, fireworks, and of course, bulls on the loose. It’s all happening in Denia!
