Top 5 best scooter rentals in Villajoyosa (La Vila Joiosa)

Picture riding the coast road out of Villajoyosa (La Vila Joiosa) with the sea on one side and the ochre and blue houses of the old town rising behind you — that first stretch alone is reason enough to skip the bus. Park a scooter right by the Amadorio riverbank, wander the painted lanes on foot, then hop back on to cover the rest of the coast before lunch. A short ride north gets you to Playa del Paraíso for a quieter stretch of sand than the town's main beach, and the road south opens up all the way to Benidorm's high-rise seafront, a striking contrast to Villajoyosa's low-key charm.

The old town itself is small and best explored on foot, but everything worth seeing around it — the beaches, the Roman watchtowers, the Valor chocolate factory — is strung out along several kilometres of flat coastline where a car would only mean hunting for parking in narrow streets. A scooter rental in Villajoyosa lets you hop between stops in minutes instead, and the easy, level terrain along the coast road makes a small 110–125cc automatic scooter perfectly manageable, even if you've never ridden one before.

Top 10 things to see in Villajoyosa by scooter

1. Casco Antiguo (Old Town) and the painted houses of Villajoyosa — the town's signature sight, rows of brightly coloured fishermen's houses along the riverbank and seafront, best walked but easy to loop around by scooter.
2. Playa Centro — the main Blue Flag town beach, 1.4km of fine sand right below the old town, an easy first stop.
3. Playa del Paraíso — a quieter beach a short ride north of the centre.
4. Museo del Chocolate Valor — the free factory museum of Spain's best-known chocolate maker, with tastings included.
5. Torre de Sant Josep (Torre de San José) — a Roman-era watchtower on the coast, part of a scenic string of defensive towers.
6. La Malladeta — Roman villa and baths remains near the coast, a good stop for history lovers.
7. Puerto de Villajoyosa — the working fishing harbour with its daily fish auction, full of local life just minutes from the beach.
8. Serra Grossa — a coastal hill area between Villajoyosa and Alicante with Mediterranean viewpoints along the coastal road.
9. Iglesia de la Asunción — the fortified parish church that anchors the old town's skyline.
10. Benidorm's Poniente and Levante beaches — a short, popular ride south along the coast road, for a taste of Spain's biggest beach resort.

What do you need to rent a scooter in Villajoyosa?

For scooters up to 50cc you need at least an AM licence (a full category B car licence also covers these); a 125cc scooter needs an A1 licence, since the B-based entitlement only applies within Spain and most non-EU visitors can't rely on it. If your licence isn't from the EU, bring an International Driving Permit along with your home licence, as rental desks commonly ask for it. Rental companies typically set their own minimum age, often 18 or 21 depending on the vehicle, and will block a deposit on a credit card in your name.

How much does it cost to rent a scooter in Villajoyosa?

Prices swing a lot across the year. In low season you can find a scooter from 5–9 EUR per day, while during the peak of summer expect 18–30 EUR per day. Larger or newer 125cc–300cc scooters and motorcycles run 30–45 EUR per day in high season.

• Cheapest months: November to February.
• Dearest months: July and August.
• The closer to summer, the earlier it pays to book — good scooters sell out fast in high season.

When to book a rental scooter in Villajoyosa?
