Villajoyosa awarded six Blue Flags

Villajoyosa has once again secured six Blue Flags recognising the quality, safety and environmental standards of its beaches, while the municipality’s yacht club also retained its prestigious Blue Flag distinction for another year.

The awards were officially collected during a ceremony celebrating beaches and marinas across Spain that meet strict international standards linked to water quality, accessibility, environmental management and visitor services.

The Blue Flag programme is considered one of the world’s most recognised coastal quality certifications and remains an important symbol for tourism destinations preparing for the summer season.

Villajoyosa strengthens beach reputation

Local authorities highlighted the importance of the recognition as Villajoyosa continues strengthening its reputation as one of the Costa Blanca’s best-maintained coastal destinations.

The municipality’s beaches are particularly known for their clean waters, accessibility and family-friendly atmosphere, attracting both tourists and residents throughout the year.

Officials also praised the work carried out by municipal cleaning, maintenance and safety teams responsible for preparing the coastline ahead of the busy summer months.

Alongside the beaches, Villajoyosa’s nautical club retained its Blue Flag status for another year, recognising standards related to environmental management, marina services and safety conditions.

Valencian Community leads Spain again

Spain once again leads the global Blue Flag ranking in 2026, while the Valencian Community remains the Spanish region with the highest number of awarded beaches and marinas.

The continued success of municipalities such as Villajoyosa reflects growing efforts across the Costa Blanca to combine tourism with sustainability and environmental protection.

In recent years, Villajoyosa has increasingly promoted itself as a destination that combines quality beaches, gastronomy and Mediterranean lifestyle, helping attract both holidaymakers and international residents beyond the peak summer season.

Local authorities believe recognitions such as the Blue Flags continue reinforcing the town’s image as one of the Costa Blanca’s most attractive coastal destinations. For many residents and businesses, the awards represent another positive sign ahead of the summer season, which remains one of the most important periods for the local economy and hospitality sector.
