There are several different options for staying in Jávea, all offering different experiences to the visitor. Unlike many other coastal resorts along the Costa Blanca, Jávea has managed to control development and consequently there are just a handful of very good hotels serving every pocket and taste. Two official campsites offer every facility for those wishing to stay under canvas or park up their camper vans or caravans in delightful surroudings just a short walk from the Mediterranean Sea. Hidden amongst pine trees on the surrounding hills there are villas of all shapes and sizes whilst the apartment complexes closer to town offer a more convenient place to stay.
Hotels
The premier hotel is without doubt the four-star Parador de Jávea which has been built on a rocky promontory overlooking the Arenal beach and offers stunning views of the Mediterranean. The well-manicured exotic gardens and swimming pool provide a perfect place to relax whilst inside there is a great restaurant offering Mediterranean-style menus.
A little further away from the busy (and somewhat noisier) beach area is El Rodat Hotel, another four-star destination which is located in a much quieter zone of the town about five minutes’ drive from the main Arenal beach. The rooms are more like private chalets set around the landscaped gardens. The hotel also boasts La Galería restaurant, holder of a Michelin star, which serves traditional Valencian dishes with innovative touches, and a Wellness Spa although this is an additional cost.
Hotel Villa Naranjos is a very popular three-star hotel located just a few hundred metres away from the Arenal beach with more than 150 rooms which either overlook the beach and bay or give fine views of the majestic mountain of Montgó. Due to its popularity, vacancies are often at a premium during the busier summer season and it’s often fully booked long before the season starts. It’s also a very popular destination for Christmas and New Year breaks.
In the port area is the two-star Hotel Javea located right in the heart of the this bustling maritime zone and just a few minutes’ walk from the stone beach. It has a popular restaurant right at the top of the building which offers stunning views across the bay and is open to the public as well.

In the port is Nomad Hotel Xàbia Port, which is located along the popular Marina Española promenade just a few metres from the sea. .
