top 10 elopement locations in Alicante and Valencia
1. CALA PORTIXOL AND CALA GRANADELLA | JÁVEA
First up we've got one of the PRETTIEST beaches along the entire Costa Blanca! Cala Granadella is a gorgeous beach in the East Coast of Spain, it's famous for its crystal clear waters and for the blue doors at Cala Portixol. It´s a must visit! Plus
Nearest town: Jávea
Distance from Alicante: 1h22m
Permits needed: During summer
Best time to elope here: spring and fall
2. PASEO ECOLÓGICO DE BENISSA | BENISSA
If you are looking for a route around the coast, this is it! A 3.5km route (low difficulty) that allows you to see the hidden gems of this area.
Nearest town: Benissa
Distance from Alicante: 1h
Permits needed: No
Best time to elope here: spring and fall
3. RACÓ DEL CONILL | VILLAJOYOSA
This is one of my favorite beaches of all times, I've shot so many maternity shoots here that I know it as the palm of my hand. We can divide it in two parts, the first location feels like a meadow with magnificent beach views and the second location is a beautiful rocky beach with the most beautiful sunset. It's perfect, since you have these two locations together and it's pretty close to other locations such as Guadalest and other beaches. I definitely do not recommend this location during summer, it's quite popular and it will be impossible to have a moment alone, plus the sun doesn't rise from the sea during summer in this location. But it's PERFECT the other seasons.
Nearest town: Villajoyosa
Distance from Alicante: 40 mins
Permits needed: No
Best time to elope here: spring and fall
4. CALA DEL MORAIG | BENITATXELL
This place is amazing, One of the most beautiful beaches in Costa Blanca, but one of the most visited ones. The place is truly amazing, the cliffs, the cave, the blue water... just like a dream
Nearest town: Benitatxel
Distance from Alicante: 1h 20min
Permits needed: No
Best time to elope here: spring, fall and winter
5. VALLE DE GUADALEST | GUADALEST
This is THE PLACE for elopements. Most of our couples do chose Guadalest to elope. Because it's easily accessible, you have different sceneries and it's really close to the beach, just 30 mins away, and it's easy to make both mountain and beach locations at the same time. Any season is perfect for this location, we might find people at the locations but since we chose locations that are not very known, we don't have this problem.The lake though,it's very known and it's better to chose a day during the week for your elopement.
Nearest town: Guadalest
Distance from Alicante: 50min
Permits needed: No
Best time to elope here: all seasons
6. PLAYA BOL NOU | VILLAJOYOSA
7. MONASTERIO SANTA MARIA DE LA VALLDIGNA | GANDÍA
Alright, this is the absolute best place if you want to have both worlds, this stunning ruined monastery, just 40 mins away from some of the most beautiful beaches at Jávea, Dénia and Benitatxell.
Nearest town: Gandía
Distance from Alicante: 1h 30m
Permits needed: Yes, we have to call previously and sign the permits there
Best time to elope here: all seasons
8. CALA DE LA MINA | ALFAZ DEL PI
9. CALA TIO XIMO
10. BAÑOS DE LA REINA | CAMPELLO
This is one of the closests locations to Alicante, just 20 mins from the city center. It is beautiful and because of how it goes into the sea, you can catch sunrise or sundown which is perfect! But I must say it is difficult to access, you have to climb a little bit and the stones are not regular, which makes it a bit difficult to walk. Nevertheless, it's gorgeous!, especially as you can see at the photos, early in the morning
Nearest town: Campello
Distance from Alicante: 20 min
Permits needed: No
Best time to elope here: all seasons
Friedly reminder: most of these photos have been taken by us,, but unfortunately we haven´t been able to shoot in some of these locations. This might be a sign to choose one of them and let us take you there!
