The Costa Blanca / Valencia / Alicante Province region

Javea is justly proud that its climate is rated ‘environmentally near perfect’ by the World Health Organisation what that means is glorious summer weather without the oppressive heat of further south. Javea sits at the most Easterly point on mainland Spain.

One hour drive north takes you to Valencia and one hour south to Alicante - both have a beautiful old city centre with lively nightlife, port and beach areas

Historical castles of Xativa and Guadalest are both within an hour's drive.

There are worthwhile day trips to the fortress village of Guadel’est or even take the ferry to Ibiza. Closer to Javea visit Gata de Gorgos for cane and ceramics. Towards Alicante there are a number of attractions including the Terra Mitica theme park which is an excellent day out for the young and young at heart, the Mundomar marine & exotic animal park or Aqualandia water park for the energetic.

Javea / Balcon Al Mar area

Javea is ideal for families, there are very few hotels and almost all visitors are groups of families and friends who rent villas. Balcon al Mar (translates as Balcony of the Sea) is up in the pine hills overlooking the town and it's position means there is usually a cooling breeze at night for comfortable sleeping.

Javea sits at the most Easterly point on mainland Spain. A medieval town with a Roman and Moorish history it can be divided into 3 distinct areas - the old town (narrow cobbled streets, 16th Century church and whitewashed houses), the port area and lastly the beach.

Locally there is horse riding, golf, tennis, go-karting, jet ski, windsurfing, scuba diving, other watersports and designated nature walks.

There is a covered market in the old town and a Thursday outdoor market where you can shop for anything from cheese to chorizo, from lace to leatherwork. The picturesque fishing harbour is a working port. Stroll along and watch the days catch being brought in before dinner. The modern yacht club is also situated here.

Evenings are lively along the promenade at Arenal Beach where there are a score of bars and restaurants and dozens of craft stalls as well as exclusive boutiques. The beach has lifeguards and showers and there are safe separate play areas for children of various age groups.

How to get there
