Village-and-clifftop municipality between Jávea and Moraira: Cumbre del Sol sea views, dramatic coves, and a year-round base—mix of villas and apartments with strong holiday-rental pull.
Facts
Benitachell (El Poble Nou de Benitatxell) bridges inland village life with the clifftop urbanisation of Cumbre del Sol above coves like Cala del Moraig and Llebeig. Expect upper-mid coastal pricing around €3,120/m² (village apartments lower; renovated sea-view homes in Cumbre command clear premiums). You trade flat walkability for views and privacy—daily errands work in the village and nearby Jávea/Moraira. Airports work both ways: Alicante ~75–85 min, Valencia ~85–95 min via AP-7. Rentals are very strong in summer and healthy in the shoulders thanks to beaches, diving/kayak routes, and proximity to two resort towns.
