In this article we detail ten reasons why you should consider Javea as a place to live in retirement. As you will see, there are different reasons that make this coastal town a perfect place to spend this stage of your life.

1.Ideal climate

It goes without saying that the Mediterranean climate is one of the most suitable for retirement. The last thing you need at this age is to lock yourself indoors and in this sense, Jávea offers many hours of sunshine and pleasant temperatures all year round.

So you can walk along the beach or inland routes to keep active. It has been proven that spending time outdoors brings physical and mental benefits, so living in a place that encourages this has a direct impact on people’s wellbeing.

2. Paradise beaches

One of the main attractions of Jávea are its first-class beaches and coves. You can choose between white sandy areas to relax or nooks and crannies where the land merges with the Mediterranean. Variety is the spice of life!

As we have already mentioned, the sea water has important benefits and that is why it is important to be in contact with it, whether you enjoy long walks or refreshing baths. Furthermore, these areas are in perfect condition and you will find all the infrastructures and services necessary to guarantee your comfort.
