From our front door
Three villages in one town: the port, the Arenal and a walled old town built two kilometres inland to stay out of reach of sixteenth-century pirates. Here is what we send our own guests to.
The three Jáveas
The port for fish straight off the boat, the Arenal for the promenade and a long lunch, the old town for the Saturday market beside the church on Carrer Roques.
How far, really
Beyond the town
Granadella and Portitxol for snorkelling, Cala Blanca and Cap Negre when you want them emptier — which beach for which day is further down.
Trails straight from the door, from an easy hour to the full climb — best in the cool months.
Kayak and paddleboard trips run all year; boats and jetskis are for hire at the port.
Nearby
Villa Palmview sits in Jávea, in the middle of the Marina Alta. If you are looking for a large villa near Moraira, Dénia or Calpe, this is a good base: all of them are half an hour away or less. By car it is nothing, and a taxi from the gate is a ten- to thirty-minute run to most villages. A hire car is convenient but not essential — for dinner in Moraira or a market morning in Dénia, a taxi does the job.
Pick a village to see it on the map
The pin on the map is Villa Palmview.
Almost every village has its own weekly market, and they fall on different days. That means there is a market within half an hour’s drive on nearly every morning of the week: fruit and vegetables, cheese and olives, leather and linen — and on Sundays a rastro full of antiques in Pedreguer.
Harbour, a castle on the rock and the ferry to Ibiza. Known for its kitchens and red prawns.
A marina, a small fort on the beach and the quiet cove of El Portet.
Cala Moraig beneath the cliffs, and the coastal paths of the Ruta dels Cingles.
The old village on the hill above Moraira, with lanes in natural stone.
The wickerwork village: a street lined with baskets, cane furniture and hats.
A small village at the foot of the Montgó, with a farmers’ market under the old riurau.
Known for its Sunday rastro: antiques, curiosities and second-hand across the whole site.
A medieval centre with the church they call the cathedral of the Marina.
The wine valley behind the coast: bodegas, almond blossom in February and a busy rastro.
The Peñón de Ifach rising straight out of the sea, with a salt lake and flamingos beside it.
A white old town on the hill, with the blue-domed church above the bay.
Drive times are approximate, measured from the gate outside high season. Market days can change with the season — ask us beforehand and we will check for you.
Walking
The Montgó nature park effectively starts at the drive. These are the routes we walk ourselves.
The mountain that shapes the view, 753 metres. There are easy loops along its flank and a steep climb to the summit; start early and carry more water than you think you need.
Out to the lighthouse on the headland, overlooking the harbour and, on a clear day, as far as Dénia. Flat and easy underfoot.
A carved sea cave between Jávea and Dénia, reachable only on foot or from the water. Access is regulated in the summer months — ask us for the current rules.
Coastal paths along the finest coves in the district, with steep sections and long stretches without shade.
The cliff path above Cala Moraig at Benitatxell, a quarter of an hour away.
Ask us for the routes and we will send them ahead, so you have them offline on your phone.
Beaches
Jávea has one big sandy beach and a coastline of coves. Knowing which is which saves you an afternoon of driving with twenty-eight people in three cars.
Getting here
Two airports serve Jávea and neither has a train that reaches the town — the nearest rail is the tram line at Dénia. For a group, that makes ground transport a decision worth making before you fly, not at the arrivals hall.
Jávea or Xàbia
Xàbia is the official Valencian name of the town; Jávea is the Castilian form. You will see both on road signs, in restaurants and in this guide. Locals use whichever language they grew up with, and nobody minds which one you pick. The town has three centres that feel like three different places: the old town inland, the port with the fishing fleet, and the Arenal along the sandy beach.
Where we eat
La Tosca, Terra Jávea, El Campo, Le Dauphin and Amantes for the evenings that matter; Volta i Volta and La Tasca Rebotica for tapas. You get the full list in the guest guide after booking.
Getting around
Twenty minutes of driving buys you the whole Costa Blanca.
