Description
Benijófar and its neighbouring residential area Benimar form one of the most desirable inland communities on the Costa Blanca South, within the Alicante province. Situated just 10 minutes from the beautiful beaches of Guardamar del Segura and around 15 minutes from Torrevieja, these two adjoining areas offer the perfect blend of authentic Spanish village charm and modern living convenience.
These lovely areas lie just off the CV-920, between Ciudad Quesada and Rojales, making them an excellent base for both permanent residents and holiday homeowners.
Benijófar is a charming, traditional Spanish town with a welcoming atmosphere. It has a vibrant main square, local shops, supermarkets, bakeries, banks, restaurants, tapas bars, and a weekly street market offering fresh local produce. There are also schools, medical services, and excellent road connections nearby.
Benimar, just across the river and slightly elevated, is a modern residential urbanisation with a mix of villas and townhouses, offering stunning countryside and mountain views. The area has its own commercial centre filled with international restaurants, bars, and shops, creating a lively yet relaxed environment.
For leisure, residents can enjoy nearby golf courses such as La Marquesa Golf in Ciudad Quesada and La Finca Golf (only 5 minutes away), as well as walking and cycling routes along the Segura River and the surrounding countryside.
These areas are particularly favoured by expatriates, retirees, and families looking for a peaceful lifestyle close to all amenities and beaches while still retaining an authentic Spanish community feel.
