Sport

Sporting possibilities are many and varied in Jávea-Xàbia, particularly those associated with the sea or mountains.


Water sports are particularly attractive, with 15 km of coastline with coves, cliffs, and beaches of sand or pebbles.

 

Motorboats may be hired in the Arenal and jet skis in the Montañar and the quiet waters of the bay are ideal for swimming and water-skiing. The gentle breeze also makes it perfect for windsurfing. For those who wish to learn to windsurf, there are schools and areas set aside exclusively for this sport.



The Montgó Natural Park, the coves and capes and other places in the area provide excellent possibilities for practising mountain- or rock-climbing, mountain bike, trekking, . .



There is also possibility for golf and tennis.





 

 

Golf

There are a few golf courses in the area.
 

Javea Golf Club 

(clicking the name will open their website)

​

The course was designed by Francisco Moreno and opened in 1981. The course is a gently sloping 9 holer with well-maintained greens and fairways flanked by palm trees, pine trees and orange trees. Although it has only 9 holes, on the second time around or back nine, many of the holes are played from different tees making it virtually an 18 hole course. Also the 4th / 13th green is large enough to accommodate two separate pin positions for each hole.

Although it is not very long, it is certainly challenging as it is plagued by bunkers nearly all the way round - 34 in total, and all of the greens have subtle runs, many of which are difficult to read.



Green fees are about 40 euros for 9 holes and 75 euros for 18 holes. There is secure car parking.



La Sella Golf

(clicking the name will open their website)
La Sella is an 18 hole par 72, 6289 metres course opened in 1991 and designed by Juan de la Cuadra.

The course features a putting green, driving range, restaurants, buggy hire, clubhouse, changing rooms, showers, sauna, club hire, pro shop, and tuition.



The fee is 75 euros for 18 holes.

Oli Nova Golf course

Designed and built by Seve Ballesteros, the Oliva Nova Golf Club course extends to around 50 hectares.



It is a par 72 links course of 6,350 m with a slope of 120, the main characteristic of which is that 15 of its 18 holes include water obstacles. The only holes that have no water obstacles are numbers 2, 13 and 14.

 

Although almost absolutely flat, it has many trees and water obstacles (canals and lakes - which provide the irrigation). It is a private club with restricted membership but the holidaying public are allowed to play and use the well appointed clubhouse. Facilities include driving range, putting green, motorised trolleys, clubhouse with club bar, lounge bar and restaurant, swimming pool, tennis and squash courts.



​

Green fees are around 75 euros. 

As with most golf clubs, it features a restaurant, bar, pro shop, buggies, tennis courts and pool.
