Let me introduce you to our charming town: Jávea (Xàbia) – a gem on the Costa Blanca
Jávea is a coastal town located on the sunny shores of Costa Blanca, in the Alicante province of Spain. It is known for its exceptional climate, combining warm, sunny days with mild, pleasant evenings. Thanks to this, Jávea attracts visitors all year round.
The town is famous for its picturesque and diverse coastline, featuring both wide sandy beaches and rocky coves with crystal-clear waters. Jávea is the perfect destination for those who love relaxing on the beach as well as for active travelers interested in sailing, diving, or hiking.
What makes Jávea unique is its division into three main zones: the historic center – Pueblo, the lively harbor – Port, and the famous Arenal beach, which is the heart of the town’s summer life. Each area has its own character and atmosphere, together creating a diverse and attractive destination.
Pueblo is the charming old town with narrow cobbled streets, traditional houses, and local shops. Especially in summer, Pueblo comes alive — it offers a pleasant refuge from the heat thanks to its shaded, narrow streets and cozy corners. Walking through Pueblo, you can truly feel the authentic Spanish atmosphere, full of local traditions, cafes, and markets that come alive in the evenings.
Port enchants visitors with the atmosphere of a fishing harbor where yachts and fishing boats dock. It is a bustling place to enjoy fresh seafood, watch the sunset over the sea, and soak in the energy of the local community. In the evenings, seaside bars and restaurants fill with music, laughter, and the joy of vacation time.
Arenal is a vibrant area full of life, entertainment, and beautiful beaches. The wide sandy beach with a gentle entry into the sea is ideal for families with children and those who value comfort and relaxation. The Arenal promenade is lively in summer, offering plenty of cafes, restaurants, and shops that make your holiday even more special.
Jávea is also a paradise for food lovers! The town boasts a rich gastronomic offer featuring cuisines from around the world — from traditional Spanish dishes and fresh seafood to exotic Asian flavors and Italian cuisine. Restaurants and cafes offer a wide range of dishes at various price levels, so everyone — from fans of casual quick bites to demanding gourmets — will find something to enjoy. Evening dinners on terraces overlooking the sea or lunch in a cozy local tavern are a true feast for the palate.
Currently, Jávea is home to two Michelin-starred restaurants:
BonAmb – awarded 2 Michelin stars, known for creative Mediterranean cuisine at the highest level.
Tula – awarded 1 Michelin star, praised for its innovative approach and use of local ingredients.
Additionally, there are three Michelin-recommended restaurants worth noting, offering excellent quality and unforgettable flavors:

These places are true culinary gems of Jávea and are highly recommended to visit during your stay in this unique town.
Jávea is also rich in culture and traditions, with numerous festivals, markets, and events held throughout the year. It is an ideal destination for those seeking an authentic Spanish atmosphere, stunning views, and excellent quality of life.
