Transfers from Alicante Airport to Jávea

Xàbia or Jávea is a coastal town in the comarca of Marina Alta, in the province of Alicante, Spain, by the Mediterranean Sea.

The town of Jávea is situated on the back side of the Montgó, in a wide bay sheltered between two rocky headlands. The town has become a very popular small seaside resort and market town.

Xàbia has a mild climate during the entire year. Thanks to the Montgó mountain barrier, the town is protected from the winter cold fronts and benefits from the sea winds and easterly breezes which provide relief from the summer heat.

Xàbia’s climate is considered as the World’s second best microclimate with an average annual temperature of 18 ºC.

In addition, it is located in the north of the province of Alicante, on the easternmost point of the Mediterranean coast. The island of Ibiza lies some 90 kilometres (56 mi) to the east, and it can be seen on clear days.
