Explore Javea / Xabia in Spain

Javea Port

Javea port is located below the old town and well worth a visit to enjoy many shops, restaurants and tapas bars as well as the crystal clear waters of the pebble beach alongside the promenade lined with palm trees. Enjoy excellent seafood restaurants and fantastic harbour and sea views.

Located at the north end of the promenade, Javea’s marina still functions as a fishing port with the fishing fleet arriving back in port at least once a day and yachts moored in the same vicinity. It's also home to Javea Nautical Club, which hosts a multitude of activities and competitions within the world of sailing, fishing and rowing.

The Old Town of Javea 

Away from the coast, a short drive from the villa is the historic centre of Xàbia, which originates from the Medieval period, spanning over seven centuries. Today the Old Town of Javea features an impressive church and townhouses line gorgeous narrow cobbled streets, blending whitewashed walls, arched doorways and gothic windows with the local golden “tosca” sandstone. The streets are lit up with fairy lights in the evening, perfect for a romantic stroll. 

There are two underground car parks, one at the top of town and one at the bottom. Discover the best of the Old Town of Javea with a walk through the narrow streets visiting the many historic sights and a fabulous selection of restaurants and bars. Click here to find out more.

Arenal Beach

La Playa del Arenal in Jávea is a beautiful sandy beach, 12 minutes drive from the villa, or a 15-minute walk from Javea Port. It's a popular spot with a large pedestrianised promenade that's perfect for families with a lovely holiday vibe. A variety of seafront restaurants and beach bars line the shore. The beach stretches for 480 meters, featuring shallow waters and sand, making it a major tourist hub and a favorite for swimmers and paddle boarders.

There are play areas for children, sports facilities including soccer goals, volleyball nets, and gymnastics equipment, as well as sunbeds and parasols for rent. At night, the beach area comes alive with a diverse nightlife scene, including clubs, restaurants, bars, and a night market with street artists, providing a vibrant atmosphere for all to enjoy.

The Montgó Massif

Our villa is situated in the foothills of The Montgó Massif, an impressive 750 meter peak. It offers a diverse range of attractions and activities, including hiking along well-marked trails with breathtaking views of Javea and Denia, birdwatching and nature observation, rock climbing opportunities, and designated areas for picnicking. You won’t need any specialist climbing equipment, just a good pair of trail shoes and a camera to capture the impressive views!

The park also provides educational experiences about the local environment, geology, and wildlife. With its cultural and historical significance, the Montgó Massif is an interesting place to explore, and it's a prime spot for ecotourism, allowing visitors to appreciate the natural beauty and ecological importance of this protected area. Whether you're seeking adventure or a peaceful day in nature, the Montgó has something for everyone.
