Buses from Alicante Airport to Villajoyosa
Alicante Airport has buses run by Alsa (Spain’s equivalent of National Express). There are direct buses which conveniently run every hour from Floor 2. If you turn right out of any of the exits on Floor 2, you’ll see the bus stops listing out all of the towns and cities in the area.
Note – buses aren’t running very often to Villajoyosa so do make sure to see if the bus times align with your arrival time (also consider extra time to get through passport checks and any luggage collection)
Alsa buses are of a high standard and come complete with air-conditioning and free Wi-Fi. They take about 40 minutes to arrive to Villajoyosa, and ticket prices start from 5€. You can pay the driver on the bus.
This might be a convenient option for most individuals or groups who want to travel for a cheap price, and can’t rent a car.

You can get a taxi from Alicante airport to Villajoyosa. It will likely be the most expensive option to travel, but might be the most convenient.

The taxi fare may start from €50+ as Villajoyosa is a 30-minute drive away from the airport, so do make sure to speak to the taxi driver before you enter the taxi and discuss how much the trip will cost. This will help you agree on a fixed price you’re happy with.
