Costa Blanca vs other Spanish coasts: why choose Denia?

Denia · Costa Blanca · MyNextStays

Spain has over 8,000 kilometres of coastline. Choosing where to spend your holiday is not easy. Costa del Sol, Costa Brava, Costa Dorada — each has its own character. But if you are looking for the perfect combination of climate, gastronomy, nature and tranquillity, the Costa Blanca — and Denia in particular — has arguments that are very hard to beat.

Costa Blanca vs Costa del Sol

The Costa del Sol is Spain's most touristy destination. Marbella, Torremolinos — lots of luxury, lots of people and high prices. The Costa Blanca offers the same Mediterranean sun and better beaches, but with less overcrowding, more reasonable prices and far superior gastronomy. The water is also cleaner and more transparent.

Costa Blanca vs Costa Brava

The Costa Brava is spectacular but the climate is more variable and summers are shorter. The Costa Blanca has more sunshine hours per year, milder springs and autumns and a longer high season. Ideal for those who want to extend their holiday beyond July and August.

Why Denia within the Costa Blanca?

The Costa Blanca has many destinations — Benidorm, Calpe, Altea, Jávea, Denia. Each has its character. Denia is the perfect balance: a real city with its own life, internationally recognised gastronomy, varied beaches and a premium residential area in Les Rotes that has no equal on the entire Costa Blanca.

The Costa Blanca climate — 300 days of sunshine a year

The Costa Blanca has one of the best climates in Europe. Over 300 days of sunshine per year, mild winters, perfect springs and autumns. The sea reaches 28 degrees in August and stays pleasant until October. For northern Europeans escaping the cold, it works virtually all year round.
