Quiet, piney hillside by Cabo de la Nao with fast access to Portitxol/Granadella coves—villa-and-apartment mix with sea/Montgó views and strong holiday-rental appeal.
Facts
La Guardia (incl. La Guardia Park) sits on gentle slopes between Arenal and Cabo de la Nao, offering privacy, views, and short drives to Jávea’s headline coves. Expect prime Jávea hillside pricing around €3,750/m² (renovated sea-view units trade higher; older interiors lower). You trade flat walkability for calm streets and outlooks; Arenal’s promenade, supermarkets, and schools are a quick hop. Airports work both ways: Alicante ~75–85 min, Valencia ~85–95 min via AP-7. Rentals are very strong in summer with healthy shoulder seasons thanks to the coves and year-round town life.
