Jávea - Costa Blanca - Spain

No high buildings, no mass tourism, but pure authenticity. In short, Jávea is the place where people live and spend their holidays, who like privacy but also the conviviality and wants to avoid the crowds.

General information about Jávea

The history of Jávea (Jávea in Castilian), or Xàbia (in Valencian), dates back many centuries. The first evidence of human inhabitation of the area is 16,000 years old, found as wall paintings in the caves of the impressive mountain Montgó.

Jávea is divided into three different areas: the old town ( El Pueblo ), the port ( El Puerto ) and El Arenal, the area around the sandy beach of Jávea, where you can also find most of our holiday apartments. The old town hasn´t changed much over the last centuries and has retained some traditionally built houses, around the typical Spanish squares.

The port was built in 1871 with the main trade being raisins. After this trade was no longer in demand, the once large harbour diminished to a small fishing harbour. Later on, thanks to the increasing tourism, the port expanded with a marina suitable for yachts and powerboats. The Arenal is the commercial and tourist part of Jávea. Here you can also find many restaurants, pleasant bars and a few discotheques which stay open till late.

Things to see in Jávea

Jávea has many beautiful places with stunning views and interesting sights, some of these worth a visit include the two churches: Iglesia de San Bartoleme, built in the 12th century and an example of late gothic architecture. Santa Maria de Loreto was built in 1967 with a very unusual design. The ceiling of this church is shaped as a ships hull, and is dedicated to the patron saint of the fishermen of Jávea, The Holy Virgin of Loreto.
