Spain is one of the most popular places to visit for many of our British compatriots, with more people looking into settling and spending the rest of their retirement in a place like Javea. This is an area, which is dominated by British expats, because of its historical quaint setting, its year round sunshine and abundance of white sandy beach to relax upon. Javea villas are amongst some the more popular property investment plans, because of their spacious living area and affordable prices.

Purchasing Javea villas is a good investment for people looking to live in a large property with a view to rent out to tourists. Villas in this area are usually priced between 400 to 1500 Euros per week in terms of holiday renting. This all depends upon the size of the villa and the facilities offered such as catering services, cleaning and entertainment facilities. Most villas are kept independent and free from services, so that people feel like they are staying in their own place.

Aside from Javea villas, Javea itself is a place that houses plenty of sights to see and old cobblestoned roads. The main town area of Javea is split into three districts, which are Puerto Aduanas Del Mar, the Arenal and The Old Quarter. Each of these divisions reveal a strong history that has shaped Javea as it is today.

The Old quarter is so called, for its historical sceneries and monuments such as remnants of the wall that used to surround the area as a method of protecting the in habitants from pirates. Right in the centre of the town, resides a historical church, which dates back to the 14th century. The church of Saint Bartolome was subjected to much damage during the Spanish Civil War.

The Arenal is the popular white sandy beach area, which sees plenty of tourism, to keep it busy. The bars and restaurants provide modern entertainment, with the addition of street entertainers and sand artists during the summer months. Ruins and remnants of the Fontana Castle underneath the modern aprtments, which resides on the end of the shore play an important and interesting sight-seeing activity for discovering the history of the Peninsular War.

Puerto Aduanos Del Mar refers to the old port bay of Javea, whereby history would reveal that this was an important export trade location for raisin. The Nuestro Senora del Loreto is the landmark church that was built in 1967 to represent Javea’s historical fishing boats and fishing trades.

Each of these areas make it the ideal place to retire or retreat to, which in turn builds upon its tourism popularity and making it the top choice for property investment. Many people have shown more interest in Javea villas rather than buying apartments or houses, because of their spacious rooms and affordable buying prices.
