Jávea

Jávea

Jávea, locally known as Xábia, is also called the pearl of the Costa Blanca. Rightly so! This enchanting place immediately surprises and captivates you with its fine mix of authentic old streets, cozy beaches and boulevards and the most beautiful bays.

The azure blue coastline is breathtakingly beautiful and unlike Benidorm, for example, there are no high-rise apartment buildings or hotels. Instead, there is the impressive Montgó mountain, also called the Elephant, which is no less than 753 meters high. And they say that once you have looked at this one in the eye, you will definitely come back to Javea.

The city of Jávea consists of 3 sub-areas, all very different. In the historic center you can stroll through the cute narrow old streets with small Spanish cafes and cute boutiques. In the lively harbour, the authentic fishing boats are located a few meters from the pebble beach 'La Grava' and along the beautiful boulevard you will find a varied range of cozy tapas restaurants, cozy coffee shops and more chic restaurants. And in the 'Arenal' area you will find Javea's only sandy beach with cozy beach beds in high season, live music on various days in the varied catering offering along the promenade.

In short: Javea is a vibrant place where there is always fun and sun, even in winter, so you can enjoy the good life all year round.
