A detached villa on a fully walled plot of 1,387 m² in the village of Beniarbeig, in the Marina Alta region of the Costa Blanca. The property offers 218 m² of living space with four bedrooms, three bathrooms, a 10 x 5 m swimming pool, covered naya and terraces with views over the Orba valley. Built in 1970, the villa is key-ready and stands about 5 km from the nearest beaches. A supermarket is within walking distance and the village has a full range of daily amenities. The asking price is fixed at €490,000.
Within its own micro-market, this villa competes with detached resale homes in the villages of the Marina Alta, Orba, Benimeli, Sanet i Negrals and the Ondara fringe, where plot sizes of 1,000 to 1,500 m² and four-bedroom layouts are common, and where prices hinge on view, renovation state and walking distance to the village centre. At €490,000 with a fixed asking price, this property sits in the mid-range of that segment: not a bargain ruin, not a fully rebuilt designer villa. Its differentiators are the 270-degree valley outlook, the walkable distance to Beniarbeig's amenities and the flat terrain, which several neighbouring villages on hillsides cannot offer. Set against the comparable projects listed on the southern Costa Blanca, the Palangre Beach and Sun & Center apartments in Torrevieja from €160,000 and €169,000, and Oasis Laguna 2 in El Raso from €227,000, the comparison is one of category rather than price per square metre. Those are new-build or key-ready apartments in dense coastal tourist towns, with communal pools and minimal outdoor space, aimed mainly at holiday and rental use. This villa trades that specification for privacy, land, a private pool and a genuine village setting roughly 5 km from the sand. Buyers weighing the two should consider running costs as well: a 1,387 m² private plot with a pool carries higher maintenance than an apartment, though community fees are absent here. Regionally, the Marina Alta has seen steady demand from northern European buyers seeking year-round homes rather than seasonal lets, which supports the village segment; Beniarbeig's proximity to both Dénia's beaches and the Ondara motorway access strengthens its position within that trend. The distance to Alicante airport (about 77 km straight-line) and Valencia (about 85 km) is comparable to most of the northern Costa Blanca and should be factored into travel planning, but it does not distinguish this property from its direct competitors.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
Beniarbeig lies inland in the Marina Alta comarca, at roughly 48 metres above sea level with a flat route towards the coast. The nearest beach, Platja de l'Amadrava, sits about 5 km away as the crow flies, while Dénia and its hospital are around 8 km distant. Alicante airport is approximately 77 km straight-line from the village.
The house combines four bedrooms and three bathrooms with a separate kitchen, a large living room with open fire, and a glazed naya overlooking the pool and valley. The lower floor holds a spacious bedroom with shower room, utility area, storage and garage with internal staircase. Off-road parking is available for several cars or a large motor home.
This is an existing property, completed in 1970, and available key-ready. It is not a new-build development, so no construction phases or delivery schedules apply. The current owner states the interior could be further modernised, which any renovation budget should take into account.
The villa dates from 1970 and parts of the interior are of that period, with modernisation described as an option rather than completed. Air conditioning is fitted in the living room only. No sea view is offered; the outlook is across the Orba valley and village. Public transport exists but is limited to four lines.
This property fits several recognisable situations. A family relocating permanently benefits from four bedrooms, three bathrooms and the lower-floor suite, which also suits a household that needs a quiet work-from-home room; the layout separates the main living level from the ground floor. Buyers seeking a holiday home gain a lockable walled plot with electric gates, garage and space for a motor home or caravan, useful for extended-stay visitors. Those wanting year-round residence find an open fire for winter months and hot-and-cold air conditioning, though only in the living room, plus walkable village services that reduce car dependency. The house may also suit buyers willing to modernise: the seller explicitly notes the interior could be updated, so those budgeting for renovation can shape the finishes to their own taste while retaining the existing structure, pool and plot. It is less suited to anyone requiring a contemporary new-build specification, a sea view or a coastal address within walking distance of the sand, since the beaches lie roughly 5 km away by road. Nor does it offer communal facilities such as a gym or concierge; everything here is private. Households valuing space, privacy and a genuine village setting within a short drive of Dénia and Jávea will recognise themselves most clearly in this property.
The villa was constructed in 1970 and its finishing reflects several eras of updating rather than one uniform specification. Windows carry double glazing with shutters, a practical feature for both summer heat and winter insulation. The living room is equipped with an open fire, which provides both warmth and ambience in the cooler months, and hot-and-cold air conditioning in that same space allows year-round temperature control there. Bedrooms include built-in wardrobes, and the two shower rooms on the main floor are described as well appointed; the lower floor adds a further shower room beside the master-scale bedroom. The kitchen is independent rather than open-plan. Externally, the property presents maintained gardens with Mediterranean planting, an electric-gated driveway, a carport and a garage with internal access. The glazed naya and surrounding terraces are laid out for outdoor living, with the 10 x 5 m pool as the centrepiece. In structural and technical terms, the house is key-ready and immediately habitable, yet the seller states that further modernisation is possible; prospective buyers should treat finishes such as bathrooms, kitchen units and possibly electrical installations as items to inspect during a survey, given the 1970 construction date. There is no energy label or cadastral information reproduced here, but the combination of double glazing, shutters, open fire and split air conditioning gives a workable picture of how the house is heated and cooled in practice.
The asking price is fixed at €490,000 for the entire property, including the 1,387 m² walled plot, pool, garage and parking provision. This is an existing resale villa rather than a phased development, so there is no price list or unit variation; the price applies to the house as it stands. Buyers comparing against new-build apartments along the southern Costa Blanca, where units start at €160,000 to €227,000 in the listed comparable projects, should note the difference in scale: here the outlay covers a four-bedroom detached house with substantial outdoor space. Availability is immediate, as the villa is key-ready. Any modernisation works a buyer chooses to undertake would be additional to the purchase price.
Daily life here is organised around a village rhythm rather than a resort one. A supermarket stands 79 metres from the plot and the village centre is about a five-minute walk, which makes routine shopping, bread runs and coffee stops possible on foot. Within two kilometres there are around ten restaurants, two cafés, three banks, a pharmacy, a dentist and a hospital facility at 218 metres. The Poliesportiu Municipal sports centre is 400 metres away, and padel courts lie 1.7 km from the house. The property itself works across two levels: the main living floor holds the open living space, kitchen, naya and three bedrooms with built-in wardrobes, while the lower floor contains the largest bedroom with its own shower room, the utility room, storage and the garage reached by an internal staircase. Outside, the 10 x 5 m pool sits within generous terraces, and the orchard of orange trees frames the view. The covered naya functions as an outdoor living and dining room for much of the year, given the regional average of 18.4°C. Evenings tend to be quiet, as Beniarbeig counts just over 2,200 residents and sits inland of the coastal tourist flow, with Dénia and Jávea reachable by car for restaurants, marinas and nightlife. A car is convenient but not strictly necessary for everything, since the village core and basic services are walkable.
Beniarbeig sits at 48 metres elevation with a gradient of about one per cent towards the coast, so walking and cycling in the area involve little climbing. The village itself is small, 2,237 inhabitants, and retains a working village character with a supermarket 79 metres from the property, a hospital facility at 218 metres and a pharmacy 1.8 km away. Ten restaurants, two cafés and three banks within two kilometres cover most daily needs. For recreation, the municipal sports centre is 400 metres away and indoor padel 1.7 km, while the municipal swimming pool lies 2.7 km from the house. Nature walks begin close by: the Mirador de Segària viewpoint is 1.7 km distant and the Segària ridge trails start around 3 km away. Electric-vehicle owners can charge at the Ondara Supercharger, 2.2 km from the plot. The surrounding road network connects to Ondara and the AP-7 motorway corridor, placing Dénia, Jávea and the coastal towns within practical driving range, and the wider region's beaches begin about 5 km away as the crow flies.
The map shows Beniarbeig's position inland from the Dénia coastline, with the nearest beaches about 5 km to the east and the Segària ridge to the west. The village itself clusters around the point marked, with supermarkets, sports facilities and the walkable centre all within a small radius of the property.
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Beniarbeig occupies an inland position in the Marina Alta, the coastal comarca of northern Alicante province, between the regional cities of Alicante (67 km straight-line) and Valencia (79 km). Within its local market it functions as a residential village serving the Dénia, Jávea, Ondara triangle, quieter and cheaper than the coastal strip while remaining a short drive from it. Compared with the southern Costa Blanca locations of the comparable projects, Torrevieja and Urbanización El Raso, this area is greener, flatter and more village-oriented, with the Segària mountains as a backdrop rather than salt lagoons.
Distances in this section are straight-line (as the crow flies); road distances may be longer. The nearest beach, Platja de l'Amadrava, lies 5.0 km away, with Platja de l'Almadrava at 5.2 km and Platja dels Molins at 5.3 km. Two golf courses, Gregal and Llebeig, sit 6.4 and 6.6 km away respectively, with Club de Golf Jávea at 15 km. Hospital Denia is 8.4 km distant and the Repsol station at Dénia 8.9 km. Regional access runs through two airports: Alicante-Elche at roughly 77 km and Valencia at about 85 km straight-line. The nearest train station is Gata, 9.4 km away. Within the village, public transport consists of four lines serving 33 stops, sufficient for local connections though most residents use a car for regional travel. Parking is abundant on the private plot.

The Marina Alta enjoys one of the mildest climates on the Spanish Mediterranean, and Beniarbeig's data reflect this: an average annual temperature of 18.4°C and a swimming season of about four months during which sea water stays at or above 20°C. At 48 metres above sea level with a one per cent gradient to the beach, the terrain is essentially flat, which makes outdoor activity straightforward year-round. The village sits beneath the Segària mountain range, whose ridge and viewpoints sit within 1.7 to 3.0 km of the property, giving residents direct access to hiking terrain without driving far. The inland position, roughly 5 km from the sea, slightly moderates summer humidity compared with front-line coastal areas while keeping the beaches an easy bicycle or car ride away. Mediterranean planting in the garden, including the small orange orchard, matches this climate and keeps irrigation needs modest.

The closest stretch of sand is Platja de l'Amadrava at 5.0 km straight-line, flanked by Platja de l'Almadrava (5.2 km) and Platja dels Molins (5.3 km) along the Dénia coastline. These beaches sit at the northern edge of Dénia's long sandy bay, within a short drive of the property. Golfers can reach the Gregal and Llebeig courses at 6.4 and 6.6 km, while Club de Golf Jávea lies 15 km away near the cape. For everyday sport, the municipal sports centre of Beniarbeig is 400 metres from the villa and indoor padel courts 1.7 km; the municipal swimming pool is 2.7 km distant. Hiking routes onto the Segària ridge begin from viewpoints 1.7 to 3.0 km away. The coastal towns of Dénia and Jávea, roughly a 15-minute drive according to the seller's description, add marinas, restaurants and cultural events to the recreational mix.
