Jávea & Dénia Day Trip from Valencia — Beaches, Arab Castle and Old Town

Two Costa Blanca gems in one day

Jávea (Xàbia) and Dénia are just 15 minutes apart, but each has its own personality: Dénia with its Arab castle and fishing port; Jávea with the most picturesque old town in the area and one of the most photographed beaches in the province of Alicante. With ValenciaTribe you visit both in a single day, with no car and no bus timetables to juggle.

Everything is organised for you: private coach, a coordinator with you all day and the best vibes to discover two of the most special corners of the Marina Alta.

Dénia: Arab castle and fishing port

Dénia castle crowns the town and offers views of the Mediterranean and the Montgó mountain. Below it, the old town of white houses and narrow streets leads down to a fishing port where the famous Dénia red prawns — considered among the best in the world — are landed every day.

Jávea (Xàbia): the Arenal and the Marina Alta’s most charming old town

Jávea combines three areas with their own character: the old town («El Pueblo»), with the fortress church of San Bartolomé and stone streets; the port, full of fresh-fish restaurants; and Arenal beach, with fine sand and calm water, one of the most recognisable postcards of the Costa Blanca. The perfect stop for a swim, a good lunch and a wander.
