GETTING THERE:
You book your own flights to Alicante or Valencia. We recommend booking your AirPort transfer through us, but you are welcome to organize this on your own.
In general, it is easier to find transfer between Gandia and Valencia than to Alicante. However, the plane tickets to Alicante may be cheaper. It may be a good alternative to hire a car if you are a group travelling together.

THINGS TO DO IN GANDIA
Sunsation Beach is situated between Valencia and Alicante. The beach is very well maintained and is well guarded by lifeguards who look out every 100 m at a high level. In addition, beach police patrol the zone and provide additional security. Sun lounger service is offered everywhere, where you can reserve an umbrella place with sun lounger for the whole day. Most holidaymakers bring their own umbrellas and occupy the foremost beach front. The sand is super soft and clean and continues gently in the sea - you can wade out forever to bathe here or let the waves take you back to the shore by bodysurfing. Bodyboards are a good idea here.
Around the harbour, at the south end of the beach, you may also play football or rent pedal boats and sailing boats. Extremely popular are the many Segways and Elektro-Fat bikes, with which you can roll along the long promenade. There is also a two-lane cycle path, which is used a lot.
Several restaurants with the typical Valencian paella dishes and fideuas are lined up along the harbour promenade together with ice cream shops, bars, market stalls and chiringuitos. You will probably find the best shopping in Gandia center, with several warehouses from well known brands to affordable prices, just a few minutes drive from the beach.
​
If you're looking to combine the beach with sightseeing or nature walks, we suggest an afternoon or early morning hike to Monduver.
Less than an hour drive away you find Valencia, the 3rd largest city in Spain, which makes the perfect destination for a day-trip. In Valencia you may watch a LA LIGA match at Mestalla Stadium, take an educational journey through the Principe Felipe Science Museum, experience the underwater world at the Aquarium de Valencia or explore the Old Town district. The options are endless.
