Villas in Javea Resort

Javea has a typical Spanish market every Thursday in the Plaza de la Constitution, which is transformed by market stalls selling fruit and vegetables, fish, and meat. You will also find leather goods, clothing, and jewellery. The only way to buy things is to haggle, so be brave! There is a daily indoor food market just 5 minutes’ walk away in the Plaza Celestino Pons. They sell a variety of fresh produce, ideal if you want to cook at your Javea villa. The boutiques and bazaars of the Old Town have plenty of souvenirs and crafts. You can get all your essential villa food shopping at the supermarkets and minimarkets around the resort.

Close by your Javea villa you'll find a whole host of restaurants and bars, giving you plenty of choice! The Old Town has a good selection of local menus and tapas bars if you want to try some traditional cuisine. Visit the promenade by Arenal Beach if you want a choice of more international menus and fun bars. If you enjoy good seafood, the picturesque port is the place to go with waterfront restaurants serving the freshest fish. Paella is a regional specialty and locally grown oranges, figs, almonds and raisins are used in many desserts and cakes. The Costa Blanca produces renowned sweet wine, Mistela which is worth trying.

The mountain and the whole surrounding area form the Montgo Nature Reserve home to over 600 different species of plants as well as wildlife. Spain is renowned for excellent golf courses and Javea has its own 9 hole Club de Golf, Javea.
