Villajoyosa FAQ
Is the Alicante Adventure Hunt an escape room?
The Alicante Adventure Hunts are not an escape room but it is a fun experience with similar challenges that need some teamwork and lateral thinking. It is very enjoyable for people who enjoy escape rooms. Everything takes place outside, at your own pace – there is no race against the clock. In fact, we encourage people to take a break for a drink or something to eat and enjoy the lovely surroundings that the Adventure Hunt is set in.
Is Adventure Hunt a walking tour of Alicante?
The Adventure Hunt in Alicante City takes you along the beautiful promenade and around the narrow streets of the fishing quarter, showing you some places that you were possibly not aware of. However, it is not a replacement for a historical or guided walk as the focus is on having fun rather than learning.
Is the Alicante city escape room experience suitable for families?
Yes, Adventure Hunt is great for families.
are the clues complicated?
This is a really difficult question! What we can say is that out of the 10 initial test groups, no single clue was found to be difficult by all groups. Every group did find a couple to be quite challenging, but they were almost always different clues from the other groups.
So we can assure you that you are not faced with any impossible puzzles.
How do I win?
Having fun is winning so there is no need to be too focused on the score. That said, Adventure Hunt has a scoring system, with each clue offering a maximum of 20 points. Collect as many points as you do your Adventure Hunt and compete with friends and other groups.
Can we compete against another group?
Live scores are available within the Adventure Hunt App. You will be able to see the scores of everyone doing the same hunt as you on the Clue Completed page. We encourage a 10-minute break between groups.
Please contact us if you have multiple groups. We can put up a specific configuration so that all of your groups can start on separate clues at the same time.

About Villajoyosa
Situated along the crystal-clear Mediterranean is the charming town of Villajoyosa—affectionately known as La Vila. It is a colourful seaside town rich in history, culture, and coastal charm. Just a short tram ride from Benidorm and Alicante, it offers the perfect blend of authentic Valencian life and slow-paced holiday bliss. Its famously bright, multicoloured houses, golden beaches, and deep chocolate-making tradition give the town a personality that’s warm, lively, and unmistakably unique.
From strolling along its palm-lined promenade to exploring its ancient old town or sampling traditional dishes by the sea, Villajoyosa welcomes travellers looking for beauty, history, and a more peaceful escape from Spain’s busier coastal hotspots.
A TOWN PAINTED IN COLOUR AND HISTORY
Villajoyosa’s story reaches back over 3,000 years, with evidence of Iberian, Phoenician, Roman, and Moorish settlement. The Romans valued its strategic coastal position, leaving behind archaeological remains that hint at its importance as a port and trading hub. Later, during medieval times, the town fortified itself with walls and watchtowers to defend against pirate attacks—many of which still stand as reminders of its turbulent past.
Today, Villajoyosa blends this rich history with modern Mediterranean living. Its vibrant old quarter, bustling market, artisan bakeries, and traditional fishing port all contribute to the town’s warm, lived-in charm. And of course, Villajoyosa is the home of Valor, Spain’s most famous chocolate maker, filling the air with sweet aromas and offering a delicious taste of local heritage.
The town’s main central beach is its golden heart—wide, clean, and framed by colourful houses that look like a postcard brought to life. With calm turquoise waters and a relaxed atmosphere, it’s ideal for swimming, paddleboarding, or simply settling under a parasol with the sound of waves for company.
MUST-VISIT ATTRACTIONS AND HIDDEN GEMS IN VILLAJOYOSA
Playa de Villajoyosa & the Coloured Houses
Villajoyosa’s iconic seaside promenade is lined with tall, vividly painted buildings in every hue—said to help fishermen spot their homes from the sea. The wide sandy beach below is perfect for families, sunbathers, and anyone who loves an easygoing Mediterranean vibe.

A must for chocoholics! Take a guided tour to learn about the history of chocolate-making in the region, see production in action, and enjoy tastings of locally crafted dark, milk, and signature hot chocolate.

Surrounding Beaches & Coves
For those seeking quieter spots, Villajoyosa is full of hidden coves such as Racó del Conill, Bon Nou, and El Torres. Crystal-clear waters make these perfect for snorkelling, swimming, or escaping the crowds.
La Vila’s Fishing Port
Still one of the Costa Blanca’s most authentic ports, you can watch fishermen bring in their catch at dawn or enjoy incredibly fresh seafood in the restaurants nearby.

Outdoor Cinema on the Beach
During the summer, family-friendly movies and popular films are screened on Playa de Villajoyosa or Playa Torres. Bring a towel or chair, settle under the stars, and enjoy a relaxed Mediterranean movie night once the heat eases in the evening.
