Javea on the Costa Blanca in Spain has according to the World health organization one of the healthiest climates in the world. Javea enjoys more hours of sun than any other place in Spain. It is mainland Spain's most easterly point and for this reason is often referred to as "amanecer de espaņa" or "the dawn of Spain", being where the sun first rises. On a clear day, the Balearic island of Ibiza can be seen quite clearly.

Javea is situated with the same distance to two airports, Alicante and Valencia, about 1 hours drive. There are 3 different sections in Javea on the Costa Blanca in Spain. The 'Old town', considered the original Javea, with its narrow streets. Then there is the port area with luxury yachts alongside fishing boats and delightful street cafes. The third section is the Arenal beach. This beautiful, sandy bay is planted with palm trees and has play areas for children. The bay is fringed by the promenade with its wonderful choice of bars and restaurants offering national and international specialties. Interesting shops and boutiques abound.
