Common Traits of Neighborhoods in Denia
There are some great things that all the neighborhoods in Denia have in common. Of course, there’s the obvious – close proximity to the Mediterranean Sea and the mountain Montgo, the Spanish and Valencian cultures, deliciously affordable restaurants and bars (we’re talking UNESCO City of Gastronomy here), and quite a variety of supermarkets and other conveniences.
But one of the most important things that a lot of foreigners ask about is safety. Is Denia safe at night? Is it safe for me as a woman alone to be out late at night in Denia? Will my home be safe from robbery? Is theft common in Denia? Is there a lot of crime in Denia?
A quick Google search will show that overall the crime rate in Denia is moderate. Violent crime such as armed assault and robbery is low.
From our personal experience, and that of many of our friends, Denia is very safe especially when compared to larger cities and other parts of the world. We’ve each been out walking alone very late at night (after midnight) in the various neighborhoods, and have never felt unsafe or experienced any threats. The reality of course is that it’s good to still be aware. Yet overall, the neighborhoods in Denia share the common trait of being very safe, year-round.
The neighborhoods in Denia also have a variety of foreigners staying and living in them. This can be more noticeable during the busier tourist season of summer. We love the variety of international residents and visitors that can be found in Denia alongside the local Spanish and Valencian people. It is true that some neighborhoods attract more foreigners or locals but it is a great blend and maintains a local, Spanish feel. We’ll get more into this further below.
Our Take on Neighborhoods in Denia
Keep in mind that our idea of neighborhoods in Denia is not strictly according to the map. There’s the official designations and zonings by the town hall but we’re not going off of that.
We’ll reference most official neighborhood names but are grouping neighborhoods together into areas based on popular landmarks. Our goal for this post is to describe the neighborhoods in Denia according to common ideas of what appeals to various lifestyles for visiting and living here.

How to Find the Neighborhoods in Denia That are a Match for You
It seems obvious but we want to state it nonetheless: to find the best neighborhoods in Denia for yourself, first put time into considering the kind of person you are. The exciting part is that it may be about to change. Maybe you’re moving to Denia now that you’re retired and you don’t want to drive a car around every day. Or maybe you work remotely online from home and want to have views of the Mediterranean. Asking yourself these questions can help you determine what you want from the area you’re going to stay in.
Questions to Ask Yourself for Finding the Best Neighborhoods in Denia for You
- Do you want it to be very quiet?
- Do you still work?
- Are you retired?
- Do you have a family/kids?
- Are you single?
- Do you love being active and outdoors?
- Do you want to walk and/or ride a bike as your main means of transportation?
- Are you going to have a car?
- Do you love going out and having gastronomic experiences?
- Are you social?
- Is being close to the beach important to you?
- Do you prefer being inland from the sea?
- Do you prefer sandy or rocky beaches?
- Do you prefer historic, Spanish style housing, or modern?
- Do you have pets?
Learning the Neighborhoods in Denia
We’re going to present these starting from the west side of Denia and moving along south east to its other side. Keep in mind that a sense of direction is kind of tricky here because of how Denia is on a part of the coast that juts out into the sea like a horn. Being on the Spanish Mediterranean you would think that looking out to the sea would be looking south to Africa but that’s not the case in Denia. Most views to the sea are looking north and north-east, back up to inland Spain.
So without further ado, welcome to the neighborhoods of Denia.

Area 1 of Neighborhoods in Denia
From Las Marinas beach inland to Avenida de Gandia (VC-723), west to Playa Bovetes, and east to Restaurante Fernando.
Also known as Les Marines in Valenciano, this area extends north-west from Denia’s town center. It is known for its long, gorgeous stretch of sandy beaches. It starts right at the Beach Raset which is the closest beach to the town center.
The two-way street Carretera de Les Marines a Denia, parallels the coast here but is set back a couple of blocks from the water allowing for certain houses, apartments, hotels and restaurants to have a front-line beach location.
We lived here our first two years in Denia, right on the little dirt road Carrer Boga. It was ideal because the properties here are the closest to town (easy walking distance) while still being front-line on the beach. Carrer Boga can get busy in the summer and in winter it’s very damp and thus cold. But if a property here is well insulated, or at least off the ground, it can still be a great location year-round.
In this area, the main tennis club in Denia is just about four blocks or so inland from the beach. There are also restaurants and a great supermarket called Aldi. Further down Las Marinas, heading away from town, there are also more grocery stores and restaurants.
The first kilometer of Las Marinas is the end closest to town. From here, it’s relatively easy to walk or ride bikes into the town center. As you make your way further away from town, it’s more essential to have a car. There is a public bus service called DeniBus that has stops all along the Las Marinas, as well as in the other direction down along Las Rotas (we’ll get to that area soon). As of when this was written, it costs 1.50€ per person each way for taking the bus.
Las Marinas tends to be quite busy and more crowded during the summer months, especially August. Then in winter months, it can be very quiet and some apartment complexes can be practically deserted, especially further away from town.
Overall, the Las Marinas area is a great place to be if you don’t mind walking a bit more to get into town center, have a car and don’t mind driving, and if you want to be able to get away at times from the more happening town center. It’s also ideal if you prefer a stand-alone home that can allow for some garden space and more room. Keep in mind that there are still a lot of apartment and townhome options here as well.

Area 2 of Neighborhoods in Denia
From Restaurante Fernando inland to Avenida de Alcol and west to Avenida de Andalusia and east to Ronda de les Murralles (the street with the Castle wall on it).
On the west side of the castle, are plenty of apartments and a large Mercadona grocery store. This area is more modern-day built and while it doesn’t have any historical style to it, we mention it here to note that it can provide some affordable apartment options. Some of these apartments have views of the castle and it’s a close walk (5-10 minutes) to the Marina Portet and the Raset Beach.
TRAVEL TIP
One of the two entrances to the castle tunnel is located here right off the Ronda de las Murralles. It provides a quick and convenient way to cross from Area 2 to Area 3 by going underneath the castle instead of around it. Thi is especially nice if the weather is rainy or hot.
Points of Interest
- Mercadona supermarket
- Denia Castle
- Marina Portet
- Castle Tunnel (west entrance/exit from Ronda de las Murralles)
- Recommended Restaurants: Casa Federico

Area 3 of Neighborhoods in Denia
Bordered by Placa Benidorm and over to Carrer del Mar.
At the front of the castle you’ll discover the authentic fisherman’s village of Baix la Mar. Here you’ll feel like you’re on the movie set for Pirates of the Caribbean (they’ve actually filmed pirate movies here back in the late 1950s). The accommodations are row homes of only three and four stories high amidst a select few palm trees and various pomegranate and orange trees decorating the sidewalks. It’s very pedestrian friendly here.
One of the stars of this area, for both locals and visitors alike, is the creative, market-style food court of Els Magazinos. Featuring gorgeous outdoor and indoor spaces amidst a variety of restaurants, this is one of Denia’s best gastronomic experiences – we love this place! Just around the corner is the traditional Plaza de Mariana Pineda, with more wonderful places to enjoy delicious food.

Area 4 of Neighborhoods in Denia
Bordered by Avenida de Alcol and Ronda de les Murralles down to Avenida d’Alacant and over to Carrer de Diana.
From the back of the castle (the end opposite from the sea), extends the Les Roques neighborhood. This is such a charming area with its old-world style and narrow one-way streets, complete with Spanish tiles on the roofs and overflowing jasmine and colorful bougainvillea flowers. It includes the popular pedestrian, gastronomical street, Calle Loreto.
Along with the fantastic restaurants and bars, there’s even an old convent still existing here. The homes are row home style and also consist of apartments. If you’re looking for a romantic, European/Spanish vibe with easy access to everything, this could be the ideal area for you!
TRAVEL TIP
The entrance to the Denia Castle is at the end of the street Carrer Sant Francesc.
Right along the back eastern side of the castle is the Plaza de la Constitución where the town hall (ayuntamiento) and the Iglesia de Nuestra Señora de la Asunción are located. There are some wonderful apartments in the old world, traditional buildings located here. This is also where the Calle Loreto starts.

Area 5 of Neighborhoods in Denia
Bordered by Carrer de Diana, Calle del Mar along the side of the castle, over to Carrer de Patricio Ferrandiz, and all the way down to the Carrer Denia a Xabia (CV-7301) along the water’s edge.
Above Image – The main street of Marques de Campo with the Festa Major parade.
A few streets over from the east side of the castle, is one of the other popular landmarks in Denia, the Carrer Marqúes de Campo. This is Denia’s main street which is now a pedestrian walking area lined with restaurants, shops, and beautiful Sycamore trees. Rising up with those trees are plenty of apartments. The style is a mix of modern and early 20th century – one building will be glass and steel and the next one French balconies and hand painted tiles.
In between the castle and Marqúes de Campo is the parallel street of Carrer de la Mar, which is also a great option for this part of town. In between the Carrer de la Mar and the Carrer Marqúes de Campo, you’ll find the Mercado Central (Central Market). Keep in mind that there is also a primary school in this area and Carrer de la Mar has Denia’s handful of nightclubs and an Irish Pub. So it can get a bit noisy here on weekend evenings and during festivals.
Heading east a couple of streets from the Marqúes de Campo, we run into the Carrer de la Via, a wide pedestrian street with cafes, one of our favorite pizzerias Senza Nome, and where the mercado de viernes (Friday market) takes place each week. These two streets are also where the town parades take place for annual festivals like Los Moros y Cristianos in mid-August (the Moors and Christians), El DÃa de Los Reyes Magos on the evening of January 5th (Three Kings Day on January 6th), and the Bous a la Mar in mid-July (the running of the bulls to the sea).
Marqués de Campo runs into the perpendicular road of CV-7301, which runs right along the water’s edge. This is also home to several apartment buildings that have great views of the super yachts docked here. If you like apartment living and to be in the center of the action, you’ll adore the Carrer Marqúes de Campo and its parallel streets.
Points of Interest
- Denia Mercado Central (Mercat Municipal)
- Mercadona Supermarket
- Carrer de la Via (pedestrian street with restaurants and bars)
- Mercado de Viernes (Friday Market) on Calle la Via
- Recommended Accommodations:Â Maison Marineta
- Recommended Restaurants: Tasca Eulalia, Sancta Sanctorum, Senza Nome, Bella Ciao Cafe, and HeladerÃa Miguel Gelater
TRAVEL TIP
The prior areas of two, three, four, and five are truly the heart of it all and where the action happens. The historic center consists of the older and most historic neighborhoods of Les Roques (Area 4) and Baix la Mar (Area 3), which are to the front and back of the Castillo de Denia (Denia Castle).

Area 6 of Neighborhoods in Denia
Bordered by Carrer de Patricio Ferrandiz to Avenida Joan Fuster, and Carrer Denia a Xabia all the way up to just past the Torrecremada Park.Â
Above Image – From left to right, Park Chabas and Park Torrecremada.
Continuing southeast from Carrer de Patricio Ferrandiz to Avenida Joan Fuster are several streets, one of them being the parallel street of Passeig de Saladar. The Denia train station is also in this area. This local train runs from Denia southeast along the coast, stopping in various little villages and towns like Calpe, Altea, and eventually ending in the city of Alicante. The latest news from the town hall is that the train will be back up and running sometime in 2023.
This area of town has an eclectic array of architectural styles and residences. At the end closest to the water, just off Carrer Denia a Xabia, are two historical blocks that used to be fisherman homes decades ago. Each block is very similar, with the charming rowhomes forming a U-shape with a central area.
Then there are some nice apartment buildings behind the train station, while some of the buildings can be hit and miss when it comes to style and age. But keep heading further inland and there are some nice spots with lovely residences, such as the Parque Chabas, along the Avenida Joan Fuster, and around the Park Torrecremada.Â
Points of Interest
- Main bus station
- Main Post Office
- Park Chabas
- Plaza Saint Jaime
- Consum Supermarket
- Mercadona Supermarket
- Mas y Mas Supermarket
- Torrecremada Park where summer concerts are held and the Monday market (or rastro).
- The Denia Justice building
- The Denia DNI Office for processing passports and DNIs for foreigners
- Recommended Restaurants: El Mosset, DOA, and Bar Bus

Area 7 of Neighborhoods in Denia
Bordered by Avenida Joan Fuster, inland to the suburb of La Pedrera, and up to the sea along the Carrer de Denia a Xabia.
Now we come to a part of town dear to our hearts, because it’s where we live! On the northeast side it has the Nautical Club, Marina de Denia, and the beach Marineta Cassiana. From here it extends south (inland) to the Pedrera. Centrally located are also Lidl and Consum supermarkets.
The Avenida Joan Fuster has some good apartment buildings all along it and it is one of the major streets for coming in and out of town. Most of these buildings have views of the mountain Montgo and of the sea, thanks to the openness on the Montgo side of the street.
This area overall can be an ideal location and for us feels very local. The closer to Avenida Joan Fuster, the closer it is to easily walk or bike ride into town. Another benefit is that it’s not in the very center where it can get a bit more congested and crowded during certain times of the year.
Above Image – The Chiringuito Club Nautico Denia (year-round ‘beach’ bar)
Then as you head east, away from town, there are also more homes and villas, along with apartments, that are just in from the Marina de Denia and the sandy beach of Marineta Cassiana. The proximity to this beach, as well as the gorgeous rocky coves of Las Rotas, is one of our favorite things about this neighborhood in Denia. Technically, it is considered the Las Rotas neighborhood by the town hall.
There are also some quaint looking urbanizations throughout this area that have a charming Mediterranean style to the architecture. Keep in mind that overall, the further east/southeast you go into this area, the more likely that you will want to have a car for getting to town. Having an electric bike in this area is also ideal.
Points of Interest
- Real Club Nautico Denia (Denia Nautical Club)
- Marina de Denia
- Marineta Casiana Beach
- Hill Saint Nicolas
- Troya Grocery Store
- Consum Supermarket
- Lidl Supermarket
- Recommended Accommodations:Â Boho Suites
- Recommended Restaurants: Chiringuito Club Nautico, Zahara Restaurant, Basta, and Samaruc

Area 8 of Neighborhoods in Denia
Sloping up along the bottom of the mountain Montgo. There are so many little streets here that we’re not trying to identify exactly which ones border the area.Â
As you start to head south from Denia, there is what we like to refer to as the Montgo neighborhoods. This area slopes up towards the bottom of the majestic mountain and is known for plenty of charming villas. There are also some complexes of bungalow style townhomes and apartments that can be nice to consider.
A reader and fellow denizen of Denia who lives in this area summed it up perfectly: “It’s kind of the opposite of Las Marinas. A lot of people live in this area all year and as such the difference between summer and winter is minimal“.
It is good to keep in mind that while you can walk into town from most of this area, it’s a further walk. You’ll want to have a car if you’re going to be in this area. Many of the streets do not have good sidewalks and can be curvy and narrow, especially the higher up you go towards Montgo. Villas in this area can have great views of the sea and town
Another thing to be aware of in this part of town is that in the winter, the higher up the slope you are, the less sun you get throughout the day because of the shadow cast by the mountain. In the winter, this means that it can feel colder in the homes. But then of course, that will vary according to the house and its construction.Â

Area 9 of Neighborhoods in Denia
Bordered by the Cerretera de Denia a Xabia (CV 7361) and the water’s edge along the beach area of Las Rotas. Â
Above Image – The little cove just past Restaurante Pegoli.
We love the fact that Denia has two kinds of beaches – sandy and rocky. Las Rotas is the rocky coastline that stretches southeast of Denia and in the direction of Javea. It is great for snorkeling and starts at the end of the horseshoe-shaped cove of the Marineta Cassiana beach. It’s wonderful to walk along the water’s edge here and while it is a small road, there are portions of it that are pedestrian-only. In true Mediterranean style, there are also a handful of cafes and restaurants that are perfect for tapas or a meal right on the water.
There are some spectacular homes here, definitely villas, and even various apartment buildings. The key with this area is to explore the little streets that extend inland from the water. These are filled with beautiful, fragrant pine trees and plenty of homes to consider for rent or purchase. Many of these homes are holiday homes but some are lived in year-round.
Above Image – Punta Negra, our favorite for snorkeling.
From this neighborhood in Denia, it’s a lovely 20 to 40 minute walk into town, depending on how far down Las Rotas you are coming from. It’s also a lovely bike ride, although quite a bit bumpy in a few places. If you’re staying out here for long, it’s best to have a car for going into town.
Points of Interest
- Playa de Trampoli, Punta Negra, and the little cove just past Restaurante Pegoli for great snorkeling
- Trailhead for the Cova Tallada hike (to sea caves)
- Torre del Gerro (Roman Tower)
- Recommended Accommodations:Â Hotel MR Les Rotes and Hotel Boutique MR Palau Verd
- Recommended Restaurants: Helios, Restaurant Mena, and L’Ericó del TrampolÃ
Which Neighborhoods in Denia Are Most Suited for You?

Area 10 of Neighborhoods in Denia
Bordered by the train tracks, the mountain Montgo, and the road Cami Pou de la Muntanya.Â
La Pedrera is a suburb of Denia that hugs the side of the mountain Montgo. It has a quaintness to it and some of the properties here can have some nice views. It’s also where the main local hospital is located. Aside from residences and the hospital, there is not much else here.
If you like the idea of being somewhere a little more quiet but still close to Denia, this may be the area for you.
Points of Interest
- Local Denia Health Center / Hospital (also referred to as Pedrera Hospital)

Founders & Producers of Move to Traveling
We’re Amalia and Eric – a traveling couple who moved from the US to Denia, Spain. With our combined skills of travel consultant/writer and artist/film producer, we share resourceful stories to inspire and support your travel dreams. Let us know how we can be of help.
Hello again,
Do you have an experience of the process ofgetting Married or Civil Partnershipin Denia. Is there specific person you can suggest that can help us through the process.
Hi again Mike, I responded to your first comment and also emailed you both responses directly via email to ensure you get it.
Without writing a book here, I can say from experience that both processes can take longer than expected. We got parejas de hechos (domestic partnership) about 4 years ago now and that process took us almost three years with the paperwork and laws changing. We did not hire help though since I speak Spanish and have dual nationality (I am Spaniard as well as American). I am not sure what may have changed with the process and laws since then.
Then just recently we married in Denia in September. We started going to the justice center here (registro civil) last November 2021 and we are still not registered because after 4 times of going there in person and certain workers checking our paperwork progress, the last person there insisted that I have to provide my Spanish birth certificate which was created for me when I got Spanish nationality 10 years ago. Even though I was born in the US and got that certificate apostille and translated, they won’t accept it and want the Spanish one. Turns out it’s taking months for Spain to process providing birth certificates. So we are still waiting.
I hope that insight helps. If you would like to discuss it more we could do so, along with other topics, in our Meet & Greet that we provide: https://www.movetotraveling.com/denia-meet-greet/
We hope to hear from you again and have a great move to Denia!
Hi Amelia & Eric , we are English late 60’s and moving from Ibiza ( after 9 years ) to Denia. We will have to change all our formal paperwork regards Medical, Tax, local town hall etc . Do you know of a specialist who we could sit down with to go through exactly what we need to do . As we both work, it is worth us paying for this service in order to get it completed quickly .
Also any information on a good place to meet up with other ex pats and Spanish, who we can get to know to set up our social lifestyle , would help .
Hi Mike, Thanks for being on our blog and for your questions. We’re happy to help.
I recommend Lorena Romans who is a local of Denia and has her office right on the main street of Marques de Campo. https://romansyasociados.com/ Her and her office will be great to help you with these processes. Please let her know that Amalia of Move to Traveling sent you.
For resources regarding meeting up with other expats and Spaniards, I suggest reading our article that features this: https://www.movetotraveling.com/learn-from-denia-resources-foreign-residents-spain/
There is a specific section in there that provides links for the Denia Department of International Relations and the resources they provide. We highly recommend these.
You can also learn more about Denia and my Meet & Greet service that I offer by visiting here: https://www.movetotraveling.com/denizens-of-denia/
Congratulations on moving to Denia. We hope that the move goes well and please let us know of any other questions. I will also email this information to you directly to make sure that you get it and to respond to your second comment that you left.
Thank you again,

Dear Amalia and Eric,
Thanks for the article of the areas of Dénia, I liked it a lot. My wife and I are moving to Dénia in Janaury ’23 and in a month we want to look for a place to rent in Dénia (for a year or so) beforce deciding to buy something. Can you suggest any agents in Dénia we shoudl contact?
Good to read that you enjoy Dénia for its walking, outdoor and food/drinks, just what we have in mind.
It should be David, not Daivd 🙂
Hi David,
This is Amalia from Move to Traveling. Thank you so much for being on our blog and leaving your comment on our post about the neighborhoods in Denia.
And congratulations that you and your wife are moving here in January! That is exciting news.
In case you didn’t find it before, here our resources for buying real estate: https://www.movetotraveling.com/valencia-region-real-estate-resources/
At this time, we do not have a specific person or company who we recommend for rentals. We are very particular about who we recommend and for some time there have not been very good agents for finding rentals. The rental search here can be a little tricky.
I can suggest using sites like Idealista (https://www.idealista.com/alquiler-viviendas/denia-alicante/) and Kyero (https://www.kyero.com/en/denia-property-long-let-1l1232).
If you do work with an agent or agency that you end up liking, please let me know about them so that I can look into recommending someone for rentals who would be helpful, and that we can feel good about recommending.
Also, if you would like to meet up for any help regarding settling into Denia, I offer a Greet & Meet service which includes an in-person consultation and follow up. Just let me know if you’re interested and I can send you more information.
We wish you all the best in your move and we hope that we see you here in Denia one day.
Thank you,
Hello Amalia and Eric,
Thank you for your blog. So very appreciative for all the information you’ve shared.
My husband and I are planning and hoping to temporarily move to Denia in February, 2023 to see and experience the area. If we like it, then we will extend our visa and may purchase property. We have hired a lawyer to help us navigate the visa application process. One of the things we are struggling with is the area we would like to live in since we are not familiar with the city at all. I’m wondering if you can assist us with this. Would you mind giving us some suggestions?
We are in our mid-late 60’s. Both retired. We enjoy walking for pleasure and exercise. We also enjoy going out to eat for dinner, or appetizers and drinks. It would be ideal to live close to restaurants! We also enjoy music!
Anyway, which areas would you suggest for us? We would prefer a condo for we no longer want to be bothered with too much maintenance of a single family home. Your knowledge and advise is greatly appreciated!
Hi Pipa, Thank you so much for enjoying our blog. And congratulations that you will be spending more time in Denia and are considering living here. You sound quite similar to Eric and I in regards to lifestyle – we also love to walk and enjoy eating out, live music and are happy in an apartment withe much less maintenance than a house with a yard.
Based on what I described in our post about Denia’s neighborhoods, there are so many great options. I would highly suggest the following areas:
If you like very historic and Spanish style, there are apartments in area 4 which is right behind the Castle of Denia and in the historic district. Just keep in mind that these older buildings can have moisture problems so make sure they are well renovated.
Our own area 7 where we live has a lot of options for apartments and is still such a close easy walk to the historic center (maybe 10 minutes tops and even less to plenty of restaurants close by). We especially like this area because it can be a bit quieter but is still conveniently close to everything.
Another option that could fit your tastes is in area 2 but closer to the castle. There are some nice apartment buildings there and it is super central.
And then of course there is right on the Marques del Campo (our main street here) which is in area 5. You would be right in the heart of it all there and literally above some great local restaurants here. Just keep in mind that this area is busy so there can be a good amount of noise but if the apartment is on a higher floor and has good windows, it may not be a problem.
I hope that this helps. Please let us know of any other questions you have. We wish you all the best in your travels here and maybe we’ll see you around once you’ve arrived!
Thank you for
the article written with patience and effort!
I also live in Denia.
In your next recommendations, maybe it will be useful an article about spending free time/groups that have the same interest would : cycling, hiking, dancing, etc.
Have a nice day!
Hi Leila, You are so welcome and thank you as well for enjoying our blog. We’re very glad that you like the article.
I love your idea for an article about groups and activities that for people to take part in here.
We hope you visit often and subscribe to our newsletter so that when we post that article, you are notified.
Please let us know of any questions or other ideas you have, and how we can be helpful.
Thank you again!
