Dénia

The mainland, without the airport.

Dénia sits on the Costa Blanca between Valencia and Alicante, at the point where the coastline pushes furthest east towards the Balearics. That is why the island ferries sail from there rather than from either city — and why it is the shortest hop of the four mainland routes we fly.

It is also, by road, a long way from either airport. Flying it puts you on the coast itself rather than an hour and a half up or down the motorway from the terminal you landed at. The aircraft is yours: the fare covers the helicopter and the pilot whether two of you fly or six.

Ibiza is the short one

Of the three islands, Ibiza is much the nearest to Dénia — about thirty minutes in the air against fifty from Palma. If Ibiza is where you are going or coming from, this is the cheapest and quickest way onto the mainland we operate, and it is worth asking for that leg specifically rather than the Mallorca one.

The fare on this page is the Palma figure, because that is the entry in our published table. Ibiza and Menorca are quoted individually: the distance is different from each, and we would rather give you the real number than an average that is wrong for two islands out of three.

Where Dénia actually is

Worth being clear about, because it is regularly misplaced. Dénia is on the mainland coast between Valencia to the north and Alicante to the south. The Montgó massif stands behind the town and is the landmark you pick it out by from the air.

That eastward push into the sea is why the crossing beats the alternatives: fifty minutes from Palma against sixty to Valencia and seventy-five to Alicante, and half an hour from Ibiza.

Arriving in Dénia

The arrival point is confirmed with the quote rather than after you book, so you know the drive at the far end before you commit. Ground transport is arranged with the booking and landing fees at both ends are already in the fare.

If you are connecting to a boat, tell us the berth and the time when you enquire and we build the flight backwards from it. That is the most common reason people fly this leg and the timing is usually the whole point of it.

When to book

Mainland routes want a little more notice than the island hops because they cross into peninsular airspace and involve handling at the far end. Twenty-four hours is usually workable; a couple of days is more comfortable, and in July and August it is close to necessary.

Longer mainland flights are possible too, including Madrid, but those are quoted individually rather than off the fare table.

Before you fly

Flying to Dénia: the questions we get asked.

Which islands do you fly to Dénia from?

Ibiza, Mallorca and Menorca, and the same routes in reverse out of Denia. Ibiza is by far the closest at about thirty minutes; Palma is around fifty. Tell us which island you are on and we quote that leg.

How long is the helicopter flight from Ibiza to Dénia?

About thirty minutes in the air. It is the shortest island-to-mainland crossing we operate, which is why Denia rather than Valencia or Alicante is usually the sensible way onto the Costa Blanca from Ibiza.

How much does a helicopter to Dénia cost?

From EUR 3,900 for the whole aircraft, one way from Palma, with landing fees at both ends included. It is the price of the aircraft rather than a per-seat fare. The Ibiza leg is shorter and quoted separately, so ask for that one if Ibiza is your end of the trip.

Where is Dénia?

On the mainland Costa Blanca, between Valencia to the north and Alicante to the south. It is the closest mainland port to the Balearics, which is why the island ferries sail from there rather than from either city.

Can you land near the marina for a boat connection?

Tell us the berth and the departure time when you enquire. The arrival point is confirmed with the quote and the ground transfer is arranged around your boat, which is the usual reason this leg gets booked.

How many people can fly in one helicopter?

Up to six passengers plus the pilot on the largest aircraft in the Palma fleet. Larger groups fly across several aircraft released on the same slot so everyone lands together.

What happens if the weather is bad?

The pilot decides on the day and safety comes first. If the flight cannot go you are not charged; we rebook or refund. This is a mainland crossing over open water and is more exposed to wind than the short island routes.
