Luxury Real Estate in Javea – Find Your Dream Home on the Costa Blanca

Thriving expat communities, an iconic beach and great options for sports and recreation, Javea is undoubtedly one of the jewels of the Costa Blanca. With all the amenities of a much larger town, Javea has a wonderful balance of outdoor pursuits with modern infrastructure and amenities. Not to mention its pristine coves and proximity to the Montgo mountain are an outdoor enthusiasts dream!

The town is divided into 3 areas; the Old Town of Javea (Xàbia Pueblo), the Port of Javea (Xàbia Puerto) and Javea Beach (Playa Arenal). Each area has its own distinct personality, whether it’s the traditional charm of old town Javea or the shabby-chic vibe of the Arenal and Javea’s main beach.

Javea is a haven for western expats, with about 29% of the population being British in addition to sizable communities of German and French nationals. This often facilitates an easier integration into Spanish life as you find familiar cultural sights and sounds as you are also exploring Spanish culture.

Just a 30 minute drive from Javea, you have the famous port town of Denia (another jewel along the Costa Blanca). Larger and more spanish in its make-up, here you will find possibly one of the loveliest marinas along the entire coast, framed by the majestic Montgo mountain. Denia’s marina is also home to some of the finest restaurants in the area.

Within a 90 minute drive of Javea, you have the larger cities of Alicante to the south and Valencia to the north. Both cities can offer a welcome change of pace from the relative tranquillity of Javea.

Types of Properties Available in Javea

There are a multitude of options for villas in Javea. The Cap Martí area has many different types of villas in a range of prices and sizes. For large luxury villas, many of these can be found in Ambolo which sits on a hillside overlooking the Mediterranean in the south of Javea.

Valle de Sol is an additional option that exudes a peaceful and secluded atmosphere, making it a popular choice for those seeking a tranquil and private lifestyle.

Apartments

Apartments are the choice in Javea for buyers seeking the convenience and lower up-keep of an apartment.

Duplex (two-level) and penthouse apartments elevate apartment living even further, with the later often providing sought-after views. Another great thing about apartments in Javea is there are no high rise apartment buildings, so apartment options are typically nicer and more exclusive than you will find in larger nearby towns like Denia and Calpe. Avenida Augusta stretches along the coastline from the beach area in the south to the Port area in the north and is lined with modern, low-rise, apartment blocks and townhouse complexes. The Arenal area close to the main beach is also a good option for apartments.

Townhouses

Townhouses provide a fusion between the convenience and facilities of apartment living with the added living space similar to a villa. This type of dwelling also provides the opportunity to explore the idea of a traditional spanish townhouse with unique layouts, exposed beams and plenty of charm. Many townhouses feature terraces, small gardens and spacious interiors. Townhouses (also known as Casas de Pueblo), offer tranquillity while remaining close to local amenities. Areas to look at in Javea for modern townhouses include Avenida Augusta. For more traditional spanish style townhouses Pueblo de Javea in the heart of the old town, features this style of property.

New Developments, versus Owned Properties
