Yes, you will need a valid passport to travel to Spain! Be sure to check your passport's expiration date—some countries require your passport to be valid for at least 6 months after your travel date, so renew if it’s close to expiring. Starting in 2026 (date TBA), U.S. citizens will also need to apply for an ETIAS (European Travel Information and Authorization System) before traveling to Spain and other countries. You can apply online at ETIAS.com. If you are traveling through the UK (even layovers), you will need to fill out an ETA prior to your travels.
The closest and largest airport is Alicante-Elche Miguel Hernandez (ALC) About an hour drive to Benissa Costa Valencia Airport (VLC) is about 1 hour and 30 minute drive to Benissa Costa
For best pricing, it is recommended to book between 3-7 months out
We recommend using the Beniconnect shuttle or private taxi to and from the airport! If you are staying in a hotel, you are able to use the shuttle. With Airbnb’s, you will need to use their private transfer (taxi) option. If you are arriving or departing at the same time as others, we would recommend sharing a private car for cheaper transportation! They have private cars available for 1-12 people. https://www.beniconnect.com/

We will be staying in the villa (The Joya Boutique) where our intimate wedding will be held. We will have the villa from Tuesday evening to Saturday morning!
We're having a small, intimate wedding with just our closest loved ones, so we’re only able to accommodate those listed on your invitation. While we absolutely adore your little ones, our wedding and welcome dinner will be an adult-only celebration. We appreciate your understanding and can’t wait to celebrate with you!
Yes, we will have a taxi service pick everyone up from the June and the Jazz Boutique starting at 6:00 pm Pickup Address: Carrer l'Albercoquer, 10, 03720 Benissa, Alicante, Spain There will also be parking at the restaurant if you prefer to drive
The temperature typically ranges in the 70s and 80s this time of year, and since we are by the beach, it will be humid! Please pack accordingly, as all wedding events will be held outdoors.
We're kicking things off with a welcome party at Oceana on Wednesday evening—join us for dinner and drinks to celebrate! The day after the wedding (Friday), we’ll be hanging by the pool at the Joya Boutique Villa, sipping spritzes and firing up the grill. We have the Villa from Tuesday to Saturday, and everyone is welcome to come by, hang out, or take a dip in the pool anytime! Please also take the opportunity to explore the beautiful coast!
