Wedding Party

Our wedding venue is located inland from the Costa Blanca area at CV-715, 03792 Orba, Alicante, Spain. There are many options in the area to stay, but we do recommend Javea (Xabia), Denia, and Moraira as great options to enjoy all that the Costa Blanca region has to offer. VRBO and Airbnb have great options throughout. Staying in Javea, we recommend checking out places near Playa del Arenal for a central location walking distance to shops, restaurants, and of course the beach! We have provided a few rental and hotel options that would be great too!
