• Why Serneholt Estate Clients Love Jávea
• Why We Love It

Located between Spain's Costa Blanca's San Antonio and La Nao capes, Jávea (or Xàbia in Valencian) is a breathtaking blend of dramatic coastline, mountain scenery, and stylish way of life. With unspoiled coves, historic old town, and cosmopolitan marina district, Jávea offers refined Mediterranean living that is still very Spanish.

At Serneholt Estate, we see Jávea as an upscale location for those who desire a stylish, balanced lifestyle with peace and also a vibrant, active community.

Located in the Alicante province, midway between Valencia and Alicante airports (both around 90 minutes by car), Jávea boasts a unique position on the Costa Blanca. Sheltered from the north by the Montgó Mountain, it benefits from one of the world's healthiest microclimates, with mild winters and balmy, breezy summers.

The three areas that make up the town are historic Old Town, seaside Arenal with its touristy promenade, and the Port district where fishermen's traditional homes and trendy cafes prevail. The variety creates different lifestyle possibilities ranging from residential villas in peaceful seclusion to beach-front apartments.

Jávea has grown into a food-lover’s haven. Along the Arenal promenade, you’ll find international and Mediterranean restaurants serving fresh seafood, rice dishes, and creative tapas. In the Port area, waterfront terraces serve cocktails and paella with sea views, while the Old Town offers hidden gems with traditional local menus.

Gourmet chefs are La Siesta, Tula (Michelin-starred restaurant), and BonAmb, which specialize in turning local ingredients into innovative tasting menus. From hearty market food to haute cuisine under the stars, Jávea's gastronomic variety is unbelievable and expanding.

Jávea combines old-world shopping charm with everyday convenience. The Old Town's narrow streets are filled with boutiques, art galleries, craft markets, and delis, international fashion boutiques, beauty treatments, and modern conveniences in the Arenal and Port.

There are weekly markets offering anything from organic produce to locally produced home furnishings, as well as supermarkets, pharmacies, and homeware stores to ensure that you rarely have to go far for your essentials.

Jávea is also very well-equipped for healthcare. There are a number of medical centers, dental clinics, and specialist surgeries—most of these with services in English, German, and French. Hospital de Dénia (Marina Salud), which is close by, is only 20 minutes away and has an excellent public healthcare system, with private hospitals and clinics in Jávea and surrounding towns as well.

Jávea is an internationally-populated town and also family-focused. Public Spanish schools are on offer, along with well-established private and international schools like Xàbia International College and The Lady Elizabeth School in easy proximity.

Early years education, after-school activities, and language support make expat and national children alike feel welcome and included.

Jávea is a paradise for nature enthusiasts. Its coastline has famous coves including Granadella, Ambolo, and Portitxol, ideal for kayaking, snorkeling, and sunbathing. Montgó Natural Park offers excellent hiking, and mountain-to-ocean bicycle routes are available.

Boating, diving, golfing at nearby La Sella or Club de Golf Jávea, padel, and tennis are all favored here. Wellness lovers enjoy yoga, pilates, and beach workouts all year round. Sport and nature are never out of reach in this lifestyle.

Families living in Jávea have a secure, peaceful environment with excellent amenities. Residential areas like Tosalet, Pinosol, and Cap Martí are popular for their private villas, quiet streets, and proximity to schools and services.

With parks, beaches, cultural festivals, and friendly, outgoing community, Jávea is a lifestyle in which children can grow up in harmony with nature and several cultures.

Our clients love Jávea for its diversity, lifestyle, and range of architecture—from sea-view villas on the hill to contemporary apartments within walking distance of the beach. It's an extremely popular destination for full-time living, holiday homes, and investment.

We adore Jávea at Serneholt Estate because it combines natural beauty with understated style. It's tranquil without being soporific, sociable without being busy, and beautifully liveable twelve months a year. From morning swims in blue coves to sunset meals in the Port, Jávea tastes like a piece of Mediterranean heaven.

If you're dreaming of a home where the sea, mountains, and sunshine converge—let us welcome you to what makes Jávea special.
