Villa for rent in Portichol - Balcón al Mar, Javea / Xàbia, Alicante

We are delighted to present this exceptional villa, located in a privileged setting with spectacular 180-degree views over the countryside, the Mediterranean Sea, the Bay of Jávea, Mount Montgó, the lighthouse at Cap de San Antoni, and the town of Jávea. On a clear day, even Ibiza can be seen. The villa was originally built in 1985 and has been completely renovated with high-quality materials to make the most of the views.

The property features a large outdoor area with a private swimming pool, a barbecue area called “Cocina de verano” (summer kitchen), and spacious gardens with fruit trees. Inside, you will find 6 bedrooms, including 2 in a separate apartment with its own entrance. The living room has a wood-burning stove, and the open-plan kitchen with an island offers sea views. From the kitchen, there is access to a large covered terrace and to the pool area.

On the upper floor, there is the master bedroom with an en-suite bathroom, as well as three double bedrooms and two additional bathrooms. Three bedrooms have access to a large terrace with sea views. On the lower level, there is a semi-basement with a large multipurpose area, ideal for a gym, home cinema, or an office/study, as well as a full bathroom, a laundry room, a storage room, and a garage for two cars. This level could easily be converted into a separate apartment. The property also has an entrance with an electric gate. A unique villa that combines luxury and impressive views.

The villa is located in the south of Jávea, about a 10-minute drive from the city center, and near the Portichol beach, a beautiful unspoiled beach that is generally very uncrowded. The specific location offers privacy and unbeatable views from every point of the home.

The beach is well known for its crystal-clear waters and for the traditional white fishermen’s houses (barracas) from which it has taken its name: Cala de la Barraca. Located between the viewpoints of Cap Prim and Cap Negre, the beach, made mainly of gravel, small stones, and pebbles, has its own bar and restaurant, as well as a wide selection of sports and water activities including diving and kayaking, among others. Both activities are very popular thanks to the intense turquoise color of the waters and the natural charm of the Portichol island, 300 meters long.

Jávea is a coastal town and municipality in the Marina Alta region, in the province of Alicante, Valencia, Spain, on the Mediterranean Sea. Set on the slopes of the Montgó massif, behind a wide bay and sheltered between two rocky promontories, the town has become a popular small spa town and commercial city. Half of its resident population and more than two-thirds of its annual visitors are foreigners.

History: the area was first inhabited in prehistoric times, 30,000 years ago, by the cave dwellers of Montgó. Subsequent residents included Stone Age and Bronze Age peoples, Romans, Greeks, Phoenicians, Visigoths, Germanic peoples, Carthaginians, and Moors. Roman fishing boats used the port, and there is evidence dating to the Roman occupation of Xàbia in the 2nd century BC, making Xàbia the oldest known Roman site on the coast with a commercial port for fish and minerals. The Visigothic Christian monks arrived in Xàbia and founded the Sant Martí monastery, which likely gave its name to the cape in the area called Cap San Martí. Several people with Visigoth names still live in the area. The hermitage of Popol dates back to the 14th century. In the 16th and 17th centuries, pirate raids were common, so a wall was built around the city to protect it. The wall was later torn down, and today a replica exists in its place in certain sections.

Access: airport, approximately 1 hour from Alicante and Valencia; regional hospital, 15 minutes.
