Areas we serve in Jávea
Every zone of Jávea has its own legal texture, and we know it street by street: we are in town every week, with well over 100 completed purchases here over the years, and our Moraira and Dénia offices sit either side of Jávea.
El Arenal
Jávea's sandy beach and promenade, a favourite with British and Dutch buyers. Frontline property here sits against the Ley de Costas boundary, so we always check the coastal deslinde before you commit.
Read the El Arenal zone guide
The Port and Duanes de la Mar
The old fishing harbour and its first line along El Montañar and La Grava. Lovely to live in, but frontline plots carry Coastal Law exposure that deserves a careful read of the Land Registry before any deposit.
Read the The Port and Duanes de la Mar zone guide
The Old Town
Historic townhouses in the casco, many bought as renovation projects. Under Jávea's provisional 2026 rules this is the most restricted tourist rental zone in town, with heritage protection on top.
Read the The Old Town zone guide
El Tosalet
A large, established villa urbanisation with British, Dutch and Nordic owners. Under the provisional 2026 rules it carries the most generous tourist rental cap of any zone in Jávea.
Read the El Tosalet zone guide
Portitxol and La Caleta
Exclusive hillside villas above some of the finest coves on the Costa Blanca. Premium prices meet old titles here, so the Coastal Law position and the paperwork get a careful read before any deposit.
Read the Portitxol and La Caleta zone guide
Balcón al Mar and Costa Nova
Cliff-top and elevated family villas out towards Cabo la Nao. Close enough to the sea that the shoreline protection strip is worth confirming plot by plot, and single-family homes keep a workable route to a holiday rental licence.
Read the Balcón al Mar and Costa Nova zone guide
The Montgó slopes
Hillside homes on the flanks of the Montgó Natural Park. Where a plot falls inside the park boundary the park's own planning rules apply, and some lower-slope properties need an AFO review before purchase.
Read the The Montgó slopes zone guide
The campo: Cansalades and Adsubia
Rustic fincas on non-developable land where many older homes were never fully legalised. We check the AFO position and the occupation licence before you sign anything.
Read the The campo: Cansalades and Adsubia zone guide
Tourist rental notes above follow Jávea's rules approved initially on 28 May 2026, which remain provisional until final approval and publication.
