# Xàbia (Jávea) Kayak and snorkelling from Granadella, a trial dive, a boat trip round the bay, the Cova Tallada and the Cap de Sant Antoni lighthouse, with how to park at the coves. Fuente: https://www.geocalia.com/en/spain/valencian-community/xabia-javea · Revisado: 2026-11-13 Xàbia lies at the tip of the Marina Alta, between Cap de Sant Antoni and Cap de la Nau, at the foot of the Montgó, which rises to 753 metres above the sea. It has three faces: the old town; the port of Duanes de la Mar, with its fish market and the church of Loreto; and the Arenal, the beach of fine sand and shallow water. What sets it apart lies away from the big beaches: coves of rock and gravel with very clear water, a marine reserve beneath the cape and caves you can see from a kayak. That is why here the plan is to get into the water with a mask. ## What can you do on the water? The most complete is the kayak and snorkel from Granadella: two and a half hours with Kayak Javea to the Cova del Llop Marí and the Isla del Descubridor, for €50 and from age 14. The same company runs the kayak to the Cova Tallada, the cave beneath the cliffs of Cap de Sant Antoni. To breathe underwater for the first time, the trial dive is done from a boat with Buceo Cabo la Nao, from age 10, or with Diving Javea, at Portitxol. If you are with small children, the boat trip round the bay with a swim by Mundo Marino leaves the harbour for €12 and stops for a swim in a cove. ## Can I drive to the coves in summer? To Granadella and to Cala de la Barraca or Portitxol, with conditions. In 2026, from 2 June to 6 September, their car parks were paid every day, from 9:00 to 19:00, at €9 per car per day and with no booking: 130 spaces at Granadella and 59 at Portitxol. When they fill up, a barrier closes the road. From 3 July to 13 September, a tourist train goes up to Granadella from the La Guardia estate car park for €6 return. No public transport reaches Portitxol. You have everything in access to the coves in summer. ## And out of the water? Go up to Cap de Sant Antoni: next to the lighthouse there is an open-air interpretation space, open every day from 9:00 to 17:00, with the marine reserve at its feet. Then go down to the port of Duanes de la Mar, to watch the boats come in to the fish market. Cala Granadella and Cala de la Barraca are for swimming, but also for walking: from the first, the path to Granadella castle leaves; the second is reached on foot from the Creu del Portitxol viewpoint. ## Where do I eat and sleep? For rice, La Perla de Jávea, on Avenida de la Llibertat, with a menu of dry and soupy rices from €19 to €36; at the port, the Noray, for rice and grilled dishes; and on the Cabo de la Nao road, Mezquida, with wood-fired rices and a €25 weekday menu. To sleep facing the Arenal, the Hotel VillaNaranjos; next to the port, the Hotel Jávea; and in the old town, the five-room Hostal Carrió. ## Dónde está - Cerca: Altea (a 28.4 km), Guadalest and the Guadalest Valley (a 34.2 km), Villajoyosa (a 46.7 km), Xàtiva (a 63.3 km) ## Qué hacer - **Kayak and Snorkelling from the Granadella to the Cova del Llop Marí** (2 h 30 · From age 14, able to swim and with basic fitness · Desde 50 € per person): A coast you can only see from the water South of Xàbia, past Cap de la Nau, the coast is cliff with small coves among the rock. Several of them can only be reached by sea. Kayak Javea, an active-tourism company registered under number TA-23-Alicante, leaves from the slipway of Cala Granadella and covers that stretch: Cala en Caló, the Cova del Llop Marí, the Descubridor island and Cala Ambolo. The cave's name recalls the monk seal, the "sea wolf" that lived on this coast. What the route is like It is about two and a half hours. You paddle in a double kayak, with a seat, beside a local guide. The company rates it medium difficulty: you do not need to have paddled before, but you do need basic fitness and to be able to swim. At the coves and in front of the cave you stop, put on your mask and look at the seabed: the snorkelling equipment is included. Price, age and what is included It costs €50 per person. The minimum age is 14. It includes the double kayak with a seat, wetsuit, booties (give your size when booking), full snorkelling equipment, a dry bag for your phone and keys, and the guide. Book online on its website or by WhatsApp. If you are going as a group or want the outing for yourselves, the company also has private tours. The website publishes no calendar or fixed times: the day and time are given when you book. In summer it is worth booking several days ahead. Getting to the Granadella in summer This is the delicate part. In 2026 the Granadella car park, of 130 spaces, was paid every day from 2 June to 6 September, and at weekends and public holidays from 7 to 27 September: €9 per car per day, from 9:00 to 19:00, with no reservation. When it fills, a barrier closes access; that barrier operated daily until 13 September and at weekends and public holidays until 12 October. Arrive early or go up on the tourist train from La Guardia, from 3 July to 13 September, for €6 return. See the detail at access to the coves. What to do before and after at the Granadella If you have paid the €9 for parking, make the most of it. The cove is 160 metres, has a blue flag every year and water that the tourist office considers ideal for scuba diving: after the kayak, swimming with a mask continues from the shore. From the same car park leaves the Granadella castle trail, which climbs to the headland above the cove; it is a good plan for anyone in the group who is not paddling. For lunch, on the way back towards Xàbia along the Cabo de la Nao road, there is Mezquida, with rice cooked over vine-shoot fire. If you are not 14, or prefer another cave The company's listing sets the minimum age at 14. With younger children, the boat around the bay with a swim leaves from the port and stops for a swim in a cove, from €12 and free up to age 3. If you have already done this route, the same company has the kayak to the Cova Tallada, below Cap de Sant Antoni, with torches to enter the cave and a snorkelling session in the marine reserve, at the same price. - **Kayak and Snorkelling to the Cova Tallada below Cap de Sant Antoni** (2 h 30 · From age 14, if you can swim · Desde 50 € per person): A quarry opened in the cliff The Cova Tallada opens at the foot of the Cap de Sant Antoni cliffs, on the boundary between Xàbia and Dénia, inside the Montgó Natural Park and the cape's marine reserve. The park reminds you that it is not a beach or a cove: it is on the cliff and access by land is difficult. By kayak, you enter from the sea. The route with Kayak Javea Kayak Javea does it in about two and a half hours, in a double kayak with a seat and a local guide. You paddle along the cliffs of the marine reserve, enter the cave with torches and finish with a snorkelling session in a protected area. They rate it medium difficulty: no experience is needed, but you must be able to swim and have basic fitness. From age 14. It costs €50 per person and includes wetsuit, booties, snorkel equipment and dry bag. The start is from the Dénia side: the listing mentions Les Rotes and Punta Negra. Confirm the exact point when you book. Access is regulated The Generalitat regulates entry to the Cova Tallada in season. In 2026 authorisation was needed from 28 March to 13 April, from 28 April to 5 May and from 15 June to 15 October, both days included; outside those days it is not needed. If you go on your own on those dates, on foot or in your own kayak, you need the natural park's authorisation. If you go with the company, ask when you book how it is handled. The park warns that it is not a beach: access is difficult, there is slippery rock and wave surges, there is no mobile coverage or lifeguard, and in an emergency you must call 112. Inside, keep the passage clear for kayaks at the marked point. - **Introductory Dive in Xàbia, from a Boat or from the Portitxol Shore** (2 h · From age 10, able to swim and with the medical questionnaire · Desde 90 € per person): What an introductory dive is and who it is for An introductory dive is a trial dive for someone without a certificate. Before going in they explain the equipment and the basic rules. Then you go down with an instructor who does not leave your side. No experience is needed; you do need to swim and to fill in the centre's health questionnaire. The Xàbia coast is rocky, with walls, caves and clear seabeds: the tourist office recommends both the Portitxol island and Cala Granadella for scuba diving. From a boat, with Buceo Cabo la Nao Buceo Cabo la Nao is a diving centre and school founded in 1995, with its mooring at the Marina Nou Fontana, on calle Canal Sur, 2. Its introductory dive goes out by boat, so you do not carry the equipment across the sand. It is two hours in total, with about 40 minutes of actual dive, at 12 metres. From age 10. The instructor is exclusively for you and you get a free underwater photo report. The premium introductory dive costs €150. If within the following six months you take the Open Water Diver course, the full amount is deducted. Closer to the surface, with Diving Javea Diving Javea has its centre on carretera del Portitxol, 135. Its Try Dive in the sea is done from the shore or from one of its launches, depending on sea and weather, at an average depth of 2 or 3 metres and a maximum of 5. It is 40 to 50 minutes underwater, after an introduction at the centre, with one instructor for every three students; under-15s usually go alone with theirs. In 2026 it costs €120 per person if there are one or two of you, €100 if three or four and €90 from four. They also have an introductory dive in a pool, one hour and from age 10, and snorkelling excursions for €33, with a minimum of four people. How to choose If you want to really feel depth and see a wall or a cave, the boat at 12 metres. If it is a child's first time or it daunts you, the shore, a few metres down, with the surface in sight. In both cases the centre may change the plan according to the sea that day. After the introductory dive If you like it, the next step is the Open Water Diver course, the first diving certificate. Buceo Cabo la Nao teaches it with the SSI agency and deducts the introductory dive if you do it within six months. With a certificate, the centre goes out by boat every day to the walls and caves of Cabo de la Nao, Dénia and Moraira, with guided dives from €47. Diving Javea, for its part, works with SSI and IANTD and has freediving courses, cave diving and a children's school. If someone in the group does not want to dive, they can stay at the surface: Diving Javea runs snorkelling outings for €33, with a minimum of four people, and the Cala de la Barraca or Portitxol, right below its centre, lists snorkelling among its services and has the island 300 metres away. - **Boat Trip around Xàbia Bay with a Swim in a Cove** (1 h 30 · For everyone; free ages 0 to 3 · Desde 12 € per adult): The Xàbia coast from the sea, without paddling This is the plan for anyone who wants to see the capes and coves from the water without taking a kayak, or for going with small children. Mundo Marino leaves from Xàbia port, tours the bay and stops in a cove for a swim: la Sardinera, the Portitxol or Cala Blanca, depending on the day. In all it is an hour and a half. If the stop is at the Portitxol, you will see the island about 300 metres from the shore. Price, times and rules It costs from €12 per adult, and children aged 0 to 3 do not pay. The boat company warns that price and boat may change with the season, and times are found in its booking calendar. You must be at the port 30 minutes before departure. Book online, by phone on 966 42 30 66 or by email. On board you cannot bring drinks from outside or smoke. If you get seasick on boats, the company recommends checking with your doctor first. From October to April it asks you to bring warm clothes, and the outing always depends on the weather. How to fit it in It is a good first morning in Xàbia with children: you park near the port, set off, swim without looking for a spot on the cove and at midday you are back for lunch at Noray. Mundo Marino also has a bay tour without a swim, at the same starting price. - **Cala Granadella** (3 h · For everyone; bring water shoes): A small, much-sought cove The Granadella is at the southern end of the Xàbia municipality, in the forest park of the same name. It is a rustic cove of 160 metres, with very clear water and a blue flag every year. The tourist office marks it with "very high" occupancy: in summer, expect a lot of people. You reach it by the Granadella road, which leaves the Cabo de la Nao road about 2 km before the cape. Parking in summer: a barrier and 9 euros In 2026, the road had a barrier every day from 2 June to 13 September and at weekends and public holidays until 12 October. The car park, on calle Pic Tort, has 130 spaces and was paid every day from 2 June to 6 September, and at weekends and public holidays until 27 September: €9 per car per day, from 9:00 to 19:00, with no reservation, at the machines or with the ElParking app. When it fills up, access is closed. Motorbikes and reduced-mobility vehicles do not pay, but use their own area. A wrongly parked car is fined and, if necessary, towed. If you do not want to risk it, take the tourist train from La Guardia, from 3 July to 13 September. More than swimming From the car park leaves the Granadella castle trail, which climbs to the headland above the cove. The tourist office considers it ideal for scuba diving, and from its slipway leaves the kayak with snorkelling to the Cova del Llop Marí. - **Cala de la Barraca or Portitxol, Facing Its Island** (3 h · For everyone; with water shoes): A long cove with an island in front Cala de la Barraca, also called the Portitxol, opens between Cap Prim and Cap Negre, south of the port. It is about 900 metres long and is gravel, pebbles and rock. Opposite, about 300 metres away, is the Portitxol island, of botanical and archaeological interest, which the tourist office recommends for diving. Like the Granadella, it has "very high" occupancy in summer. It has more services than other Xàbia coves: a restaurant, Red Cross post, buoyed swimming area, sea-state information, sunbeds and parasols, and kayaks or canoes. How to get there By car, from the Cabo de la Nao road. On foot, going down from the Creu del Portitxol viewpoint, which is the pedestrian entrance. There is no public transport to the cove. In 2026, road access had a barrier every day from 2 June to 13 September and at weekends and public holidays until 12 October. The car park on calle Barraca has 59 spaces and was paid every day from 2 June to 6 September, and at weekends and public holidays from 7 to 27 September: €9 per car per day, from 9:00 to 19:00. When the car park is full, access is closed. See the detail at access to the coves. With a mask and snorkel The water is clear and the bottom is rock, and snorkelling is listed among the cove's services. If you fancy something more, Diving Javea has its centre on the same Portitxol road and runs introductory dives from the shore: see the introductory dive. - **Lighthouse and Interpretation Area at Cap de Sant Antoni** (45 min · For everyone · Free): The cape that closes the bay to the north Cap de Sant Antoni is the end of the Montgó above the sea, between Xàbia and Dénia, and forms part of the Montgó Natural Park, together with the plain of Les Planes that joins the coast to the massif. Below, the water is a marine reserve. At the top is the lighthouse, and in its outer grounds the Xàbia Town Council has set up an open-air interpretation area. What is beside the lighthouse The panels tell three things: the life of the Cap de Sant Antoni Marine Reserve, the native flora of the Montgó Natural Park and the history of the lighthouse as a lookout over the coast. It can be visited freely, every day from 9:00 to 17:00. The tourist website links from here to whale and bird watching and to a botanical route through the Montgó. The site has, as the tourist office says, a privileged position over the Mediterranean: the marine reserve lies at its feet, and behind rises the Montgó, at 753 metres. How to fit it in It is a stop of an hour or less, good with children and in any weather. Go up in the morning if you are going to do the kayak to the Cova Tallada afterwards, which opens at the foot of this same cliff, or at the end of the day, before dinner at the port. - **The Port of Duanes de la Mar, the Fish Market and the Loreto Church** (1 h · For everyone · Free): A raisin port that became a fishing port Xàbia's port has its origins in the 15th century and gained weight from the mid-16th. It had its best period in the 19th with the export of raisins: the first known breakwater and jetty date from 1871. When that trade collapsed at the end of the century, it remained as a fishing port, and so it continues. The district around it is called Duanes de la Mar, the sea customs houses. What to see The tourist office sums it up in one scene: the arrival of the boats, the auction and the sale of fish at the fish market. It publishes no auction time; ask at the port Tourist Info, which is in the same square. Very close is the church of Nuestra Señora de Loreto, inaugurated in 1967, with a sculptural silhouette and avant-garde design. Of the Casa del Cable, from 1860, the pillars of the hall remain, and the building is now an exhibition space. The Club Náutico, shops and restaurants complete the district. When to go Any day of the year; the port Tourist Info is open daily. In early September the district celebrates the fiestas of the Virgen de Loreto, and in July, those of Moors and Christians. From here the boat around the bay with a swim leaves, and for lunch you have Noray, on avenida Marina Española. ## Dónde comer - **La Perla de Jávea** (Restaurant, Xàbia, €€€). Qué pedir: rice with market cuttlefish, monkfish and artichokes, or the soupy one with cuttlefish, prawns and spring garlic - **Noray** (Restaurant, Xàbia, €€€). Qué pedir: a paella del senyoret or with octopus, something from the grill to share and, if you are only nibbling, a vermouth with anchovies on the terrace below - **Mezquida Restaurant** (Restaurant, Xàbia, €€). Qué pedir: a vine-shoot wood-fired paella ordered in advance or, without an order, the arroz del senyoret or the paella morena ## By car: By Car to the Coves, with Time and Parking in Mind Xàbia is covered by car: the old town, the port and the Arenal are separate, and the southern coves are reached along the Cabo de la Nao road. In summer, the car has a limit: the Granadella and the Portitxol close with a barrier when their car parks fill up. Presupuesto orientativo: 70–140 € por persona y día. ### Dónde dormir if you're driving - **Hotel VillaNaranjos Jávea** (Hotel): Seven floors above the Arenal VillaNaranjos is at pasaje Génova, 12, facing Arenal beach, Xàbia's fine-sand, shallow-water beach, with the Montgó in view. It is a large hotel: 150 rooms spread over seven floors, with gardens, a pool and an entertainment programme that runs almost all year. Reception is staffed 24 hours and the hotel is open all year. For a beach holiday with children, in which the day is split between the sand and the pool, it is designed for exactly that; anyone looking for silence or a small hotel will find another atmosphere in the village. A terrace in every room The rooms are single, double or triple, and all have a furnished terrace. Beds are 90 cm, 1.05 m or double. They have air conditioning and heating, a desk, parquet floor, satellite television with international channels, free wifi, fridge and minibar; the bathroom, with bath or shower, has a hairdryer and toiletries.

For winter there is a heated bar and a glassed-in terrace with café. The restaurant is a local and international buffet, with rice dishes, salads, fish, meat, cheese, cured meats, pastries and fruit; if you go on an excursion, they prepare packed meals. The website does not publish buffet hours or whether it sells half board: ask when you book. In summer the entertainment includes sports tournaments, archery, children's and water activities, theme nights, a disco and excursions, plus aqua gym in the pool. In winter it comes down to theme nights, contests and dance classes. There is a reading room, a television room and a board games room, laundry, lift and luggage storage. At reception they speak Spanish, English, French and German. Car, dog and prices The hotel has private paid parking; the website does not say how much it costs. Pets are not allowed. It also does not publish stars, check-in and check-out times or fixed rates; it does offer special prices from seven nights. Book on its online engine, on 915 31 22 94 (central reservations) or on 965 79 00 50. From the Arenal you have La Perla de Jávea on foot, a rice restaurant from 1984 on avenida de la Llibertat. By car, the Cabo de la Nao road leads to La Barraca and the Portitxol and to the Granadella, and the port, from which the boat around the bay leaves, is on the other side of the bay. - **Hotel Jávea** (Hotel): On Calle Pío X, a step from the harbour The Hotel Jávea is at number 5 Calle Pío X, in the harbour area of Xàbia and about 100 metres from the sea. It is a 24-room hotel, open all year, and its trump card is the top floor: that is where the Attico restaurant is, with an air-conditioned dining room that looks over the whole bay. From the door you can walk to the fish market, the tourist office and the boats that leave for the coves; by car, the AP-7 is close. Interior and exterior The rooms are singles and doubles, and are divided into interior and exterior: the price changes according to where they are and what you see from them, so if you want a window onto the street or the sea, ask when you book. All have individual heating and air conditioning, television, telephone, safe, hairdryer, fridge, minibar, wooden floors and free wifi. In the bathroom you can choose between a shower or a bath. In the common areas there is a lounge with café bar, a terrace bar, room service and left-luggage. Reception arranges car and bicycle hire. The hotel has no parking of its own, but points to a free car park nearby. The website does not publish stars, rates, check-in and check-out times or pet or children policy: write to info@hotel-javea.com or phone 965 795 461 or 965 796 457. Breakfast and dinner at the Attico Breakfast is continental and is served in the Attico, facing the sea. The same dining room works as a Mediterranean market-cuisine restaurant, with set menus and à la carte; the website gives no prices or hours, and booking is on a separate phone, 653 339 698. The tourist office includes it in its list of local-cuisine restaurants. What you have on foot from here The harbour is the district of Duanes de la Mar: the arrival of the fishing boats, the fish market and the church of Loreto. In the same area leaves the boat trip around the bay with a swim and, for rice dishes, Noray is on the harbour front. The harbour tourist office is open all year. For the rest of the coast, from Cap de Sant Antoni to the southern coves, you need a car or the bike you hire at reception. - **Hostal Restaurante Carrió** (Small hotel, desde 35 € / night): Three generations of Carrió Don Juan Carrió opened the hostal in 1970 at calle Virgen de los Ángeles, 31, in Xàbia's old town. In 2000 his son Federico renovated it, and he runs it today with his wife, Ana, and his sister, Naci. It is a small place, with rooms above an eatery, in the upper village and not on the coast: the port and the Arenal are a few minutes by car. For anyone looking for a cheap place to sleep in Xàbia, with the car parked and home cooking downstairs, it fits; for anyone who wants to step from the room onto the sand, it does not. Rooms and what they cost The website talks of five fully equipped doubles and its price table adds single rooms. All have a private bathroom, television, air conditioning and heating. The published rates are per night: Low season (January to May, October and November): single €35, double €60. High season (Christmas, Easter and June to September): single €50, double €75. The rates appear under the heading "rooms with breakfast", but the website does not detail what the breakfast includes: confirm when you book. There are special prices for companies. The hostal has private parking, which in Xàbia's old town saves driving round in circles. It does not publish check-in and check-out times or whether it admits animals: ask before arriving. The kitchen downstairs The restaurant serves traditional Valencian cooking with seasonal local produce. From Monday to Friday at midday there is a €14 menu, with three starters and three mains to choose from; on public holidays there is no set menu. There are also recommended menus from €19 to €23.50 and a menu, with lobster rice, paella, fideuà and arroz a banda. Xàbia's tourist office includes it among restaurants serving local cooking. It is open from 9:00 to 18:00 and closes on Tuesdays, the staff's rest day. It does not serve dinner: for the evening you will have to go down to the port, where Noray serves dinner on Mondays, Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays, or to the Arenal, where La Perla de Jávea serves dinner Tuesday to Sunday. Getting there and booking Book directly, by phone on 965 79 12 19 or on the mobile 618 596 361, or by email at info@hostalcarriojavea.es; the website also has a contact form. With a car, the hostal works as a base for the southern coves: the Cabo de la Nao road leads to Cala Granadella, and in summer it is worth checking beforehand how the barrier access to the coves works. ## As a family: A Boat with a Swim, a Lighthouse and a Shallow-Water Beach With children, Xàbia works best on the quiet side: the Arenal has fine sand and shallow water, the bay boat stops at a cove for a swim and the Cap de Sant Antoni lighthouse has outdoor panels.
