Javea, Costa Blanca, Spain

Javea is part of the Holiday Property Bond portfolio offering exclusive access to over 1,500 properties to over 40,000 investors across more than 30 locations. You can find out more about Javea below, but first a brief explanation about the Holiday Property Bond.

A. How can I holiday better?

Invest from £5,000 in the Holiday Property Bond for exclusive access to a portfolio of over 1,500 top quality villas, cottages and apartments in 32 locations across 13 European countries, including over 600 properties in 19 locations in the UK. For each £1 invested you will receive one Holiday Point each year which you can use to book the properties. And when staying in them you do not pay a commercial rent, just a no-profit user charge covering actual running, maintenance and refurbishment costs. This charge is level throughout the year so there are no high season premiums. The average charge for a studio is around £360 and around £540 for a two bedroom property, for a week. Larger properties are also available. This no-profit user charge is only payable when you want to go on holiday. Your only ongoing commitment is a quarterly fee under £38 (that is around £150 a year), linked to RPIX.

B. Will there be more properties in the future?

As we attract more investors the more properties we will add to the portfolio – increasing your holiday choice still further.

C. How long can I holiday with HPB?

For life if you wish – the holiday benefits last as long as you hold the Bond. In due course you can pass it and the holiday benefits to your children and grandchildren, as many of our earlier investors have already done. If, however, at some point you and your family no longer wish to holiday with us you can surrender your Bond back to the company after two years or more (subject to deferral in exceptional circumstances). You will not get back the full amount you invested, although we would hope that you will have had some wonderful holidays. What you do get back will reflect initial charges (25%) taken before your money is invested in the HPB fund of holiday properties and securities. The fund itself also pays annual charges of around 2.5% of its net assets at cost, calculated monthly, as well as overheads. The value of the fund’s properties and securities can also go up or down and so, like most investments, your capital is at risk.

Situated on the Mediterranean coast, some 70 miles south of Valencia (55 miles north of Alicante), Javea nestles between two headlands – Cabo de la Nao and Cabo San Antonio – in a fertile valley of orange, olive and almond tree groves. The exclusive and fashionable area of El Tosalet lies on the southern outskirts of the old town, a mile inland from the coast.

Among the best holiday accommodation available at Javea are two large detached villas with private pools – Villa Margarita and Villa Louise – which were constructed by local craftspeople using traditional wood and stone, so as to blend seamlessly into their delightful setting.

Sunbathe on one of the best beaches in Spain

That private pool will no doubt serve you well, but it's no substitution for a beautiful beach. Javea's beach area, Playa de Arenal, is sandy and sheltered, so it's perfect for bathers of all ages. There's also a promenade, which is full of cafés, restaurants, gift shops, bars and ice-cream parlours. We recommend walking along it in the evening, as the sunset is just wonderful.

Visit the historic old town

If you love your history, the old part of town, Javea Pueblo, is well worth a visit. Look closely, and you can see evidence of its turbulent past, such as the fortifications from the wall which once surrounded it, built to keep pirates out.

The main attraction is the 14th Century church, Sant Bartomeu. Built in original Tosca stone, it sits at the heart of the old town and is a listed National Historic and Artistic Monument. It looks incredible considering it survived the Spanish Civil War, during which the church was badly damaged.

Don't leave the old town without seeing the Soler Blasco Archaeological and Ethnographic Museum – entry is free and you'll have the chance to see several exhibits and collections, filled with artwork and artefacts. Head to the top of the building for one of the best views in town.

Try something new

You and your family will never be bored in Costa Blanca as there are so many opportunities to try an activity you've never done before. Try golf at one of the 13 courses, or maybe take the plunge and go scuba diving or sailing.

Meanwhile, the resort offers the chance to play tennis, hire a jet-ski, go pigeon shooting and race your friends and family on a go-kart.

See incredible views at Montgo Nature Park

Be sure to pack your camera and your walking boots – Montgo Nature Park is a wonderful place to explore, as the views from the Mountain will blow you away. From the top, you can see the whole Park, as well as Javea and the Mediterranean Sea. On a clear day, you can make out Ibiza's white cliffs.

Enjoy fun-filled days out with the family

Animal-mad kids will love Vergel Safari Park, where you can drive through acres of parkland to see zebras, lions and tigers, so keep your windows shut! The little ones can then walk among the smaller animals and see them up close.

On a hot day, you may be more tempted to cool down at a water park. Aqualandia, Europe's largest, boasts acres of gardens, which are filled with waterslides, play pools, white-water rapids and Jacuzzis.
