Javea Villas to Rent, Costa Blanca

Why book a Javea villa with Prestige Villas Spain

Prestige Villas Spain has been arranging Costa Blanca holidays since 2004. We’re a family-run agency with a permanent base in Spain, fluent in both English and Spanish, working with established local partners who know each property on the ground. That means accurate availability, the actual nightly rate with no booking-platform mark-up, and a real person to call if anything needs sorting once you’re on the ground. Jávea is one of our largest Costa Blanca collections — a town that has stayed true to itself despite its popularity, and a range of villas to match.

The Javea villa collection

We have 30 properties in Jávea — one of our biggest single-destination collections, and villas throughout. No apartments:

• Every Javea villa in the collection has its own private pool. Most come with generous terraces and mature gardens, since the town’s villas sit in established residential areas and up on the hillsides rather than on new-build estates.
• Sizes run from three-bedroom villas sleeping six through to five-bedroom properties sleeping ten. The smallest sleeps six, so Jávea suits families and groups rather than couples.
• Several of our Javea villas sleep ten — Villa Oscar, Villa Andromeda and Villa Golf among them, all five-bedroom properties. If you’re travelling as a multi-generation group or a big friends’ holiday, those are worth asking about first: they book up well ahead of peak season.
• Properties are spread across the town — some close to the Arenal beach and the promenade, others up on the Montó hillsides where you get more space, more privacy and better views for the same money. Tell us how you’d like to balance the two and we’ll point you to the right ones.

What Jávea is like

Almost exactly halfway down the east coast of Spain, just across the water from Ibiza and nestled between Valencia and Alicante, lies Jávea. The name is pronounced “Hah-veh-ah”, and you’ll sometimes see it spelt the Valencian way: Xàbia. What we like about it is that it has stayed true to itself despite its popularity — it still feels like a working Spanish town rather than a resort built for visitors.

The Old Town is the heart of it, largely car-free, so you can wander with only the sounds of chatter, music and a bustling market town around you. The fortress church of San Bartolomé sits in the central square, its origins dating to 1304 — over 700 years old, built from the local golden “tosca” sandstone quarried under Cap Sant Antoni. It served the town as both church and refuge.

The town splits across three areas: the Old Town inland, the Port with its fishing fleet and marina, and the Arenal, the main beach strip. Each has its own character, and most villas sit within a short drive of all three.

The beaches

Jávea has 20km of coastline, three Blue Flag beaches, and around nine named beaches and coves in total. The three you’re most likely to use:

• Playa del Arenal — the main family beach. 480 metres of fine golden sand on the central bay, with a full promenade of cafés, restaurants and watersports rental. Blue Flag rated, gentle slope into the water, lifeguarded in season. This is the one most people picture when they think of Jávea.
• Cala Granadella — a 160-metre pebble cove south of the town, framed by pine-clad cliffs. Also Blue Flag rated. The water is gin-clear and the snorkelling and kayaking are excellent. Busy in high summer, so arrive early.
• La Grava — the port beach. Pebble, sheltered and the calmest of the three, also Blue Flag rated. Near where the fishing boats unload, and where the Moors and Christians Festival processions happen every July.

Beyond those, Cala Portitxol (also called Cala Barraca) is a horseshoe-shaped pebble bay ringed by pine forest, with a handful of seafood restaurants right on the sand.

Things to do in and around Jávea

The eating out is a genuine draw. Jávea covers every price point, from tapas bars to fine dining — BonAmb, on the Benitatxell road just outside town, holds two Michelin stars under chef Alberto Ferruz, with tasting menus rooted in Marina Alta produce. Closer to the water, La Perla de Javea on the Arenal seafront is family-run and known for paella, rice dishes and fresh seafood. Casa Grau in the Old Town does rustic, authentic Spanish cooking — the kind of place locals actually eat. Posidonia on Arenal beach serves contemporary Mediterranean food with sea views, and Cala Bandida on the marina does modern Med-fusion overlooking the port. All five are worth booking ahead.

Montó Natural Park is the protected area surrounding the massif that dominates the town. The summit walk takes around two hours each way and the views are spectacular — good footwear, sun protection and plenty of water, especially in summer. The lower trails are gentler if you’re walking with children.

Shopping splits across the same three areas as the town itself: the Arenal promenade for beach essentials and beachwear, the Port for fashion stores and a Sunday artisan market with fresh produce, and the Old Town for independent gift shops and grocers. Mercadona and Lidl sit on the edges of town for the weekly supermarket run.

Getting to Jávea

Alicante-Elche (ALC) is the closest airport, around 80km south — roughly 1 hour 15 minutes by car. Beniconnect runs a regular shuttle bus between the airport and Jávea. Valencia (VLC) is the alternative, about 1 hour 20 minutes by car.

Hire-car desks are at both terminals, and we’re happy to recommend reliable transfer companies if you’d rather not drive. A car is genuinely useful in Jávea: the town spreads across the Old Town, the Port and the Arenal, and most villas sit on the hillsides between them.

Season and weather: May to September are the warmest months, with daily temperatures in the high 20s through July and August. Spring is ideal for walking — warm without the summer heat. October is the rainiest month. Jávea is busiest between May and September, so book early for peak season, particularly for the larger villas.
