In addition, during the summer months, the population of Jávea doubles, reaching 150,000 inhabitants in total. The festivities of Jávea are the perfect opportunity to experience the culture and traditions of the area. Particularly popular is the fiesta of Moors and Christians, the Living Chess and the Bonfires of San Juan. Some of the best areas to find accommodation in Jávea for your holiday are the following:

  • Town Centre: This area of ​​Xàbia still retains its interesting medieval layout, forming a network of narrow streets with white fronted homes. Over time, the area has developed without losing its charm. From your holiday rental in Jávea you will find shops, bars and tapas bars, the Mercado Municipal de Abastos and other markets. In addition, in the old town of Jávea you can visit the main monuments of the town and attend the different events that take place throughout the year.

When to visit Xàbia

The season par excellence for renting apartments in Jávea is summer. On the Costa Blanca, the climate is Mediterranean, giving rise to long, hot summers, so that beach days can be extended from the beginning of June to the end of September. A Jávea rental in August is ideal to travel to the beach with your family. However, if you want to find cheap apartments, our recommendation is to reserve for the month of June, when prices are up to 45% cheaper than in the month of August. September is also a good month to book a self-catering villa to Jávea, when accommodation starts at lower prices. Another good time to spend the week is during the festival of Moors and Christians, which is celebrated in the third week of July.

The cruet de peix is a very typical dish of the Marina Alta and is a must if you stay in Xàbia. A typical drink for the long afternoons of heat is the horchata de chufa, a very special soft drink. Some of the best restaurants in Jávea to try these dishes are the Mezquida Restaurant, La Fontana and the Volta i Volta restaurant.
