Rabdells

Rabdells is a practically unspoilt beach, surrounded by a ridge of dunes. The dune formation is great for those who are looking for a secluded spot where they can sunbathe in peace. A path runs along the top of the dune, where you can go for a leisurely stroll. There are also campsites in this area with direct access to the beach, for those who fancy an outdoor adventure.

Aigua Morta

The dune continues all the way along the beach, leaving behind the more rustic zones and campsites, and instead opening up to give way to the sea and the river Bullet, whose fresh fishing water provides a change to the salty water of the sea. Here you can find the residential zone of Oliva Nova, which has many sporting facilities. For example, there’s a golf course with 18 holes from which you have a lovely view of both the mountains and the sea. There’s also 4 natural-turf football pitches which are used by many professional teams who play internationally. Last but not least, there’s a Mediterranean equestrian event (the MET) which takes place in the winter and leads to a record number of people staying in local hotels.
