Costa Blanca North · Alicante
Jávea
Between the Montgó and the sea
Jávea (Xàbia) is one of the most sought-after places to live on the Costa Blanca. Sheltered by the Montgó mountain, it offers a historic old town, a lively port, the sandy Arenal beach and some of the most beautiful coves in Spain – all with an exceptionally mild climate.
General
Three centres, one way of life
Jávea has around 30,000 inhabitants, roughly half of them from other countries. Life is shared between three centres: the historic old town with its shops and market, the fishing port with its promenade and restaurants, and the Arenal beach area with its sandy beach and lively seafront.
Dénia and Moraira are about 15 minutes away, and Alicante and Valencia airports can each be reached in about 1 hour 15 minutes by car. Thanks to the Montgó and the headlands of San Antonio and La Nao, the town enjoys an exceptionally mild and stable climate all year round.
Areas
Where to live in Jávea
Jávea offers a remarkable variety of settings:
- Old town – traditional townhouses and apartments around the Gothic church of Sant Bartomeu, the market and charming squares.
- Port and Arenal – apartments and townhouses close to the beaches, the promenade, restaurants and the marina.
- Montgó and Tosalet – green villa areas on the slopes of the Montgó, with gardens, pools and views over the bay.
- Cap Martí, Portitxol and Balcón al Mar – sought-after villa areas near the cliffs, with spectacular sea views and quiet surroundings.
- Granadella and Cumbre del Sol side – exclusive villas surrounded by pine forest and coves, between Jávea and Benitachell.
Beaches
From golden sand to turquoise coves
The Arenal is Jávea's sandy beach, lined with palm trees, restaurants and bars – perfect for families. Next to the port lies La Grava, and between them the Muntanyar coastline invites you to walk along the sea.
The real treasures are the coves: Granadella, often voted one of the best beaches in Spain, the Cala Portitxol with its blue-and-white fishermen's huts, Cala Blanca and the Ambolo cove. Their crystal-clear water is ideal for snorkelling and kayaking.
Nature
Montgó Natural Park and marine reserve
The Montgó Natural Park rises 753 metres between Jávea and Dénia and offers walks with breathtaking views. Along the coast, the San Antonio headland, a protected marine reserve, and the Cap de la Nau lighthouse provide some of the finest viewpoints on the Mediterranean.
Small islands such as Portitxol, coastal paths and the Granadella forest park make Jávea a paradise for nature lovers.
Gastronomy
Fresh fish and Mediterranean cooking
Jávea's fishing fleet supplies the local fish market every afternoon, and the port is lined with restaurants serving fresh fish, seafood and rice dishes. The Arenal offers international cuisine of every kind, while the old town hides traditional tapas bars.
The weekly market and the covered municipal market offer local fruit, vegetables, olive oil and wine from the Marina Alta.
Schools
Excellent schools
Jávea has several public primary schools and a secondary school, as well as private and international options.
Among the international schools are Xàbia International College and Lady Elizabeth School, making Jávea especially popular with international families.
Sports
Sea, mountains and golf
The Club Náutico de Jávea offers sailing and water sports, and diving in the marine reserve of San Antonio is world-class. Kayaking to the caves and coves, paddle boarding and swimming are part of daily life.
Golfers can play at Club de Golf Jávea and at several courses nearby, and there are tennis and padel clubs, gyms and hiking routes on the Montgó.
Culture & festivals
Traditions and fiestas
The fortified Gothic church of Sant Bartomeu, built of local tosca stone, is the heart of the old town. Nearby, the Soler Blasco museum tells the story of Jávea from prehistoric times to the present.
The calendar is full of fiestas: the Fogueres de Sant Joan in June, Moors and Christians in July and the fiestas of Loreto in the port in September, with parades, music and fireworks.
