Jávea (Xàbia in Valencian) sits between the Montgó and Cap de la Nau, and its British community is one of the most established on the northern Costa Blanca, with homes from the Arenal beach to villas scattered across the hills.
Homes in Jávea
Most British-owned homes are villas on sloping plots with pools and terraces, in areas like Tosalet, Balcón al Mar, Portichol and the slopes of the Montgó. Many are empty for much of the winter, and some are at the end of quiet roads where fibre is not always reliable.
Neighbourhoods
Every part of Jávea is covered. These are the areas we are asked about most, and what the homes there are usually like.
The sandy beach area, with apartments, restaurants and townhouses, busiest in summer.
The fishing port area, with apartments and townhouses near the sea and the market.
The historic centre inland, with stone townhouses on narrow streets.
Hillside villa areas towards Cap de la Nau, with pools, terraces and sea views.
Villa areas on the headlands, often on steep plots with several levels.
Villas on the slopes of the Montgó and in the Adsubia valley, more spread out and sometimes far from the nearest neighbour.
Also covered: La Granadella. Not listed? Put your postcode in the form and we confirm it.
The right set-up
The free survey decides the final kit, but this is what we usually fit in Jávea, depending on the kind of home.
Arenal and port apartments are covered by the Kit Tranquilidad: entrance door, camera detectors, keypad and siren, with a sensor on reachable terraces.
Old-town townhouses open straight onto the street and often have a patio or roof terrace. Each door gets a sensor, with a camera detector in the main room.
Hillside villas are where the Kit Tranquilidad Plus and outdoor detectors make the difference: more doors, more glass and more ground to cover, and an IP camera to look in from the UK.
Local advice
Terraces at several levels mean several doors. The survey covers every one that opens to the outside.
If the house is out of sight of neighbours, an outdoor detector gives the alert while someone is still on the plot.
The control panel also connects over 4G/5G and has a backup battery, so it keeps reporting if the line goes down.
Local guide
Jávea is villa country for most of the British owners we work with: houses on sloping plots with pools, several terraces and gardens that run into open hillside. They are often empty for long periods, and some are at the end of roads where nobody passes in winter.
That combination calls for early warning. An outdoor detector on the garden side raises the alert while someone is still outside, camera detectors in the main rooms let the monitoring centre see what is happening, and the IP camera in the Plus kit lets you look in yourself from the UK. Each door to a terrace gets its own sensor.
If the villa is let in summer, agree a simple routine with your manager: disarm when guests arrive, switch off any indoor camera while they stay, and arm again after the changeover. Out of season, keep the alarm armed and check it from your phone.
Plenty of Jávea villas also have outbuildings: a casita for guests, a pool house or a garage with a door into the house. Each of those can be covered with extra door sensors and camera detectors, priced at €1/month per sensor, and the survey tells you exactly what is worth adding. And because many owners here are of retirement age and spend part of the year in the UK, we keep everything simple: one app, a tag for each trusted person, and everything explained in English before you sign.
Living with an alarm in Jávea
Jávea fills up in July and August and at Easter, but many villas are used for only part of the year, and plenty of British owners spend the winter elsewhere. Out of season the hillside roads are quiet, and a house can go weeks without anyone passing. That is the gap a monitored alarm closes.
Villas left empty for months, especially at the end of quiet roads, can attract squatters. In Spain the police can act at once if they are alerted during the intrusion; once people have moved in, it usually means a court case. An outdoor detector plus camera verification gives the earliest possible warning.
Alicante and Valencia airports are each a little over an hour away. Many owners have the alarm fitted during a visit; otherwise a neighbour, your key holder or a property manager can let the technician in. Installation is usually arranged within 1 to 5 days of signing up.
How it protects you
The same thing happens whether you are asleep in the UK or at the beach down the road.
A door opens or a camera detector picks up movement, and the images go to Segurma’s monitoring centre.
An operator looks at the images before anyone is called, so false alarms do not send the police to your door.
With the images as evidence: a report from a licensed security company, not a vague call from a neighbour.
The alert reaches your phone wherever you are, and the siren lets the intruder know they have been seen.
While you are away
Plenty of owners with a villa up on the Montgó spend the winter in Jávea and leave when the heat and the crowds arrive, so the villa sits shut up from June to September while the Arenal is packed and every table at the port is booked. Picture yours, halfway up the hill with the shutters down and nobody on the road after dark but the odd car heading home. You armed it from the departure lounge at Valencia airport in June, and since then the only comings and goings in the app have been the gardener’s tag, early on Tuesday mornings before the heat, and the pool man’s on Fridays.
One night in August the outdoor detector on the lower terrace picks someone up, and a moment later the sliding door to the salón opens, its shutter levered up from below. Your phone wakes you in Surrey. You open the IP camera and, through its microphone, hear your own siren going off in the living room. At Segurma’s Alarm Receiving Centre the operator already has the camera detector’s images of a man in the doorway, and those are what the police are alerted with. By the time they come up the hill he has gone back down through the pines, but his picture goes with them.
Next morning the gardener goes up first. He has his own tag, so the disarming is left to him, and he walks round with you on a video call: the bent shutter, the forced latch, and a salón where nothing has been touched. He knows a shutter repairer in the old town who comes up that afternoon, and you keep the IP camera open on your laptop while he works. The gardener waters the pots on the top terrace while he waits, because he was going to anyway. When he locks up and arms the villa with his tag, the line appears in the app, and the house is back to how you left it in June.
Then the summer goes back to its routine, which is what you want from holiday home security on a hillside like this: Tuesdays, Fridays and silence in between. The third tag that came with the kit waits in a kitchen drawer for the friends who sometimes borrow the villa in September. You do not need a neighbour within sight of the gate, because a villa alarm on the Montgó is watched from somewhere else entirely. So you can spend August in Surrey without picturing the house at night. The terraces, the garden and the salón are all covered, and on the one night it matters, the people who need to know find out together: you, the operator and the police.
