Wintering in Jávea

Each year thousands of Northern Europeans escape the cold winter and rent a property in Jávea for three to six months. Daytime temperatures rarely dip below 15°C, the sea sparkles and prices drop dramatically versus summer.

Long-term winter rentals (1 October to 31 March) typically cost 40–60% less than equivalent summer weeks. Most landlords include heating, wifi and utilities.

• 300+ sunny days a year, WHO names it one of Europe's healthiest microclimates
• Mild 15–18°C daytime temperatures December–February
• Active expat community (Dutch, German, Belgian, British)
• Excellent healthcare nearby (Hospital de Dénia)
• Affordable long-term rentals
• Walkable old town and Arenal seafront

Most winter renters stay from October to March or November to April. Many return year after year to the same villa or apartment. Three-month rentals are common; longer stays attract better rates.

Two-bedroom apartment: €700–€1,200 per month including utilities. Three-bedroom villa with pool: €1,200–€2,500 per month. Groceries 20–30% cheaper than Netherlands or UK. Eating out very affordable.

Non-EU nationals (including UK post-Brexit) can stay up to 90 days in any 180-day period without a visa. For longer winter stays, look into the non-lucrative residence visa or the digital nomad visa.
