Villa María is a magnificent neoclassical residence located on the beautiful Mediterranean beachfront of Benicàsim, Spain. Constructed in 1925, this villa is a standout example of the Belle Époque architecture that defines the area, often referred to as the "Valencian Biarritz." Its elegant façade features a central tower with a four-sided pitched roof, ornamental arches, and sculptural details, all set within a lush garden adorned with a pergola with outdoor kitchen and BBQ, heated swimming pool, hot-tub, as well as a sports court for pickleball and basketball. The property spans over 2,000 square meters with 45 meters of beachfront. A quiver of kayaks, paddleboards, boogie boards, and surf boards awaits you.
Inside, Villa María boasts four levels with a total area of around 850 square meters. The interior comprises spacious living areas, a dining room, a fully equipped kitchen, gameroom, gym/yoga room, office, several terraces, and six bedrooms. A central skylight bathes the home in natural light, enhancing its airy ambiance. In 2025, a three year, meticulous restoration was completed that preserves its historic charm while incorporating modern touches.
Villa María is part of Benicàsim's renowned Route of the Villas, a collection of early 20th-century homes that reflect the town's rich cultural heritage. Its prime location offers direct access to the Mediterranean Sea, making it an ideal retreat for those seeking a blend of historical elegance and coastal luxury.

As advertised, Villa Maria is absolutely spectacular! The experience exceeded our expectations. Two families of friends shared the space and we took full advantage of the amenities—from BBQing in the outdoor kitchen and hanging in the hot tub to a movie night in the cinema room and rounds of billiards and ping-pong.The location is perfect; our daily walks on the beach and boardwalk were incredibly energizing, and we loved the local dining scene around the town. However, our favorite meal was the local paella cooked by the concierge, John. He was a total gem—as a longtime local, his recommendations were spot on. It was a wonderful experience and we’ve already decided to come back next year - muy bien!

Originally from San Francisco, our family of five moved to Valencia for a one year sabbatical that is now in its seventh year.
Why they chose this property
Living in an apartment in the city, we wanted to find a place with outdoor space and a beach. Only one hour away by car, the paseo and beach in Benicasim fit the bill.
What makes this property unique
Villa Maria is an iconic home built in 1925. It was empty for several decades. After a three year restoration, the house is back to its former glory.
