A Perfect place for your wellness

Denia has 20 kilometres of coastline. To the north, fine sandy beaches; to the south rocky, precipitous beaches, such as Las Rotas Beach, which has many small coves and areas of great beauty. Every year, these beaches are awarded the European Union blue flag, which is only given to clean and well equipped beaches.

The area evokes images of past times and cultures which remind us that Dénia has been ruled by the Moors, Romans, Carthaginians and Iberians. As proof of the constant passing of civilizations we now enjoy the examples of architecture which have been left, the best of which is the magnificent castle overlooking the town.
