Rent a home in Benissa
Benissa is two places in one: a beautifully preserved medieval town inland (one of the oldest in the Marina Alta) and, four kilometres downhill, its own four-kilometre stretch of rocky coastline with pine-backed coves like La Fustera and Cala Advocat. You get authentic Spain and the sea, for noticeably less rent than next-door Moraira.

Why Benissa
Why our tenants choose Benissa
Two lives, one town
Morning coffee under the arcades of a 15th-century old town, afternoon swim in your own municipal coves. Few places on the coast offer both within a ten-minute drive.
Wild coves & coastal path
Cala Advocat, Baladrar and La Fustera are small, rocky and crystal-clear: snorkelling territory. The Paseo Ecológico walks the whole clifftop with the Peñón on the horizon.
More casa for your money
Villas with gardens and sea views rent here for what a small apartment costs in Moraira or Jávea, which is why long-stay tenants who know the area often choose Benissa.

Living on the Costa Blanca
Settling in Benissa as an expat
Once you've secured a rental in Benissa, you'll need to register your address (empadronamiento) with the local town hall (ayuntamiento). This is required to access healthcare, schooling and other essential services, and is often needed for residency applications. Spanish Casa guides tenants through this process as part of the move-in support included with every reservation.
Whether you're looking for a compact apartment near the old town or a family-sized villa in a quieter residential neighbourhood, our listings in Benissa are verified and updated regularly, with full support from application through to signing your contract under Spanish law (LAU).
