Discover Dénia
A castle-topped Mediterranean town where beaches, food and fast ferries open the way to the Balearic Islands
Dénia combines the scale of a working coastal town with the atmosphere of a Mediterranean holiday base. Its castle rises above the centre, with old streets, markets and restaurants spreading down towards the marina and passenger port.
The town is particularly strong for food. Dénia is recognised for its gastronomy and makes an excellent place to slow down over rice dishes, seafood and local produce before or after a ferry crossing.
Beaches extend both north and south of the centre. Les Marines offers long sandy stretches, while the rocky coves around Les Rotes provide a different landscape below the Montgó massif.
Montgó Natural Park gives active travellers hiking viewpoints above the coast, and nearby Jávea/Xàbia expands the choice of beaches and old-town scenery for anyone travelling by road.
Dénia is also one of the most useful mainland ferry gateways for the Balearics. Baleària operates passenger services towards Ibiza, Formentera and Palma, with fast ferry options on key routes.

Dénia Ferry Terminal
Cars, motorcycles and other bookable vehicles can travel on suitable sailings. Foot passengers are also well served, making Dénia particularly useful for island hopping without a vehicle.
The ferry terminal sits close to central Dénia and the marina, making it more convenient than many out-of-town ferry ports. Even so, allow enough time for check-in and vehicle processing during busy summer periods.
