About Javea
The Charm of Javea
Nestled on Spain’s stunning east coast along the Northern Costa Blanca, Javea is a destination that blends tradition with a cosmopolitan vibe. Enjoyed by Spanish nationals and international visitors alike, Javea offers a unique multinational experience, while proudly preserving its Spanish roots.
A Perfect Year-Round Climate
Javea enjoys a microclimate that’s comfortable throughout the year. Summers are warm and inviting, while winters remain mild, all thanks to the shelter provided by the iconic Montgó mountain. The mountain also supports underground water systems that nourish the lush, green landscape, creating a beautiful setting to live in.
Breathtaking Scenery
Montgó mountain is a landmark visible from miles away, offering a stunning backdrop to Javea’s crystal-clear Mediterranean waters. This natural beauty, combined with the town’s thoughtful planning regulations, has kept the area free of high-rise buildings, maintaining its village-like feel and preserving unspoilt views.
History Meets Modern Life
Originally a fishing village and agricultural area, Javea still reflects its rich history with a blend of Spanish culture and modern living. The town is divided into three distinct areas, each with its own unique character.
- The Old Town: Dominated by the historic Church of St. Bartholomew, the Old Town is a hub of cultural events, including the lively San Juan fiesta every June. Its narrow streets, traditional Spanish architecture, and vibrant local life make it a must-visit for anyone who loves authentic Spanish culture.
- The Port: This area is home to both the bustling marina and working fishing boats. The port offers boutique shops, high-quality restaurants, and the impressive modern church designed to resemble a boat’s hull. Stroll along the promenade and enjoy exceptional dining experiences and shopping all with spectacular sea views.
- The Arenal: Javea’s Arenal Beach is a wide expanse of golden sand, perfect for families thanks to its gentle sloping shore, sunbeds, lifeguards, and various water sports. The surrounding car free promenade is filled with an array of bars and restaurants to suit every taste, making it the ideal spot to relax by the sea.

Javea offers a wide variety of property styles, from modern apartments and traditional townhouses in the Old Town and Port, to luxury villas and state-of-the-art homes in the surrounding hills. Whether you’re seeking a holiday apartment, a family home, or a luxurious villa with panoramic views, Javea has something for everyone.
