This offering is a 1,094 m² building plot in the El Tosalet urbanisation in Jávea, Alicante, listed at €340,000 with an approved building permit for a villa of approximately 220 m² with three bedrooms and two bathrooms. The plot is flat, south-facing and situated roughly 1.4 km from Platja de la Grava, with a supermarket within 220 metres and a pharmacy within 340 metres. The proposed design follows a modern Mediterranean-loft style with a private pool and garden. Jávea is a coastal municipality in the Marina Alta comarca with around 30,600 registered residents and a substantial international population.
Within the northern Costa Blanca, Jávea occupies a distinct market position. Unlike Torrevieja and the Orihuela Costa further south, where the comparable products listed are apartments from €160,000 to €227,000, Jávea's stock is dominated by villas and plots in established urbanisations, and pricing reflects that. At €340,000 for a 1,094 m² plot with an approved permit roughly a kilometre and a half from the port beaches, the offering is positioned in the mid-range of Jávea's land market; seafront and Montgó-view plots in the town command materially higher figures. The practical comparison for a buyer is between three routes: an off-plan or turnkey villa elsewhere in Jávea or neighbouring Moraira and Benitachell, a plot with a fresh planning application (typically cheaper land but 12, 24 months of procedure), or this middle route of permitted land where construction can start promptly. Neighbouring Dénia, nine kilometres north, offers a larger urban centre, a ferry connection to the Balearics and its own marina, but its coastal plots generally sit further from the water at comparable prices. Jávea's differentiators are its flat coastal profile, its sheltered position between headlands beneath the Montgó, its roughly fifty-percent international resident population, and its two Blue Flag beaches, characteristics that support year-round occupancy rather than purely seasonal use. For Mediterranean-lifestyle buyers weighing Costa Blanca North against the Costa del Sol, the trade-off is airport access: Alicante and Valencia are both around an hour to ninety minutes by road, whereas Málaga serves the southern coast but lies over 470 km away and is not a practical option from here.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The plot sits in El Tosalet, a residential urbanisation within the built-up area of Jávea. Daily services are within walking distance: a supermarket at approximately 220 metres and a pharmacy at 340 metres. The nearest beaches, Platja de la Grava and Platgeta del Pope, lie between 1.4 and 2.3 km away. The sports centre Poliesportiu de Xàbia is 700 metres from the plot.
The approved project accommodates a three-bedroom, two-bathroom villa of roughly 220 m² with underfloor heating, air conditioning and smart-home controls. The south orientation supports passive solar gain in winter, relevant to year-round occupancy. The 1,094 m² plot allows a private pool and garden. Layout and finishings can still be adjusted within the permit framework, which suits buyers with specific spatial requirements.
The build status is recorded as complete, with the reference date of 1970 relating to the urbanisation context; the transaction concerns land with an approved building permit ready for construction. Delivery of a finished villa depends on the construction schedule agreed with a builder; timings are indicative and subject to contract. The permit's existence removes a procedural step compared with starting a fresh application.
This is a single-plot land transaction, not a turnkey completed villa; the advertised property type is land. The database records no communal facilities, no energy label and no garage specification. Hospitals are 7.5 km away and the nearest airports are 84, 97 km distant, so a car remains practical for regional travel. The swimming season, defined by sea temperatures above 20°C, spans about four months.
This plot suits a buyer who wants a new-build villa near the coast without carrying the risk and delay of a fresh planning application, the permit is approved and construction can begin after contract completion. It fits households that need three bedrooms and two bathrooms at moderate scale, and who value the ability to adjust interior layout and finishings to specific requirements, such as a home office, accessibility adjustments or a particular kitchen arrangement. It also fits buyers prioritising walkability: with a supermarket, pharmacy and sports centre within a kilometre, the location reduces car dependency for daily needs, unlike many hillside or rural plots in the Marina Alta. It is less suited to buyers seeking an immediately habitable home, since the villa must first be built, and less suited to those requiring proximity to a hospital or frequent air travel, given the 7.5 km distance to hospital care and 84, 97 km to Alicante or Valencia airports. The flat terrain and 0.4% gradient towards the beach make the area practical for older residents or families with children. Finally, it is relevant to buyers specifically drawn to Jávea's established international community and its two Blue Flag beaches, rather than to those comparing purely on price per square metre against apartment stock further south.
The approved project describes an industrial-loft-inspired design reinterpreted for residential use: open-plan spaces, floor-to-ceiling grid windows, and a contemporary Mediterranean material palette. Technical provisions in the permit documentation include underfloor heating, ducted air conditioning and smart-home technology with electronic device control. Because this is a plot transaction with an approved permit rather than a completed build, the ultimate quality of materials and execution depends on the construction contract: buyers selecting this route retain influence over finishes, fixtures and equipment within the permit's structural framework. Standard considerations for self-build projects in the Marina Alta apply: specification of thermal insulation to suit the local climate (average annual temperature 18.4°C, summer averages up to 26°C), glazing performance for the large window surfaces, and mechanical ventilation for the warmer months. An energy performance certificate is not recorded in the database; one will be produced at completion of the villa. Buyers commissioning construction should verify warranties under Spanish building law (ten-year structural guarantee, three-year habitability and one-year finishing warranties), confirm the builder's insurance, and specify in the contract which elements of the approved design, pool, garden landscaping, smart-home installation, are included in the quoted price.
The plot is listed at €340,000. This covers the land and the approved building permit; construction costs for the proposed 220 m² villa are additional and depend on the specification agreed with the builder. For context, comparable listed products in the wider Costa Blanca South include apartments in Torrevieja from €160,000 and El Raso from €227,000, although those are turnkey apartments rather than building plots with approved villa permits. Prices should be treated as 'from' figures and verified with the selling agent, and buyers should budget separately for construction, notary, land registry and applicable taxes including ITP or VAT depending on the transaction structure.
El Tosalet functions as a low-density residential area within Jávea's urban fabric, on flat terrain at approximately 11 metres above sea level. Daily life here can largely be conducted on foot or by bicycle: the nearest supermarket is around 220 metres away, a pharmacy 340 metres, and the municipal sports centre 700 metres. Within a two-kilometre radius there are 58 restaurants, 11 pharmacies, 6 banks, 9 cafés and 4 dentists, which indicates a mature service infrastructure rather than a seasonal one. The rhythm of the area is residential and comparatively quiet, with the bustle of the Arenal beachfront and the port area a short drive away. For a buyer building a villa here, the typical day involves short local errands on foot, optional cycling to the beaches along the flat coastal strip, and driving for hospital visits (7.5 km), golf (Club de Golf Jávea at 5.1 km) or airport connections. The south-facing plot supports a daytime living pattern oriented towards terrace and pool use, with the approved design incorporating floor-to-ceiling glazing that connects interior and garden spaces. Jávea's demographic profile, roughly half of resident population foreign, means English and other European languages are commonly encountered in shops, medical practices and administration, which lowers the practical threshold for international owners managing a self-build or renovation project from abroad.
Life around El Tosalet is anchored in Jávea's town services rather than in a resort complex. The immediate radius offers daily conveniences within a short walk, and the town centre, with its historic core, municipal markets and the Tuesday market, lies a few minutes away by car or bicycle. The nearest beach, Platja de la Grava at the port, is 1.4 km from the plot, with Platgeta del Pope at 2.3 km and Platja de l'Arenal, Jávea's sandy family beach with its promenade of restaurants, at 2.0 km. Two of the town's beaches, Granadella and La Grava, hold Blue Flag status. Sports infrastructure is close: the Poliesportiu de Xàbia at 700 metres and the Palau Municipal d'Esports at 1.9 km, plus a public swimming pool complex at 1.8 km. The Club Náutico de Jávea marina is 2.7 km away. For healthcare, the nearest hospital is 7.5 km away, with Hospital Denia at 9.4 km. The surrounding environment combines flat coastal terrain with the Montgó Massif as a backdrop; viewpoints such as Mirador les Rotes (4.8 km) and Mirador de la Granadella (4.3 km) sit within easy reach for walks.
The map shows the plot's position within El Tosalet, immediately north-west of Jávea's port area. Note the short walking distances to supermarket and pharmacy, the flat coastal strip towards Platja de la Grava, and the road connections towards the town centre, Dénia and the AP-7 corridor towards Alicante and Valencia airports.

Jávea occupies the easternmost point of the Costa Blanca, in the Marina Alta comarca of Alicante province, positioned between Dénia (approximately 9, 10 km north) and the coastal villages heading south towards Moraira and Calpe. Relative to the provincial capitals, Alicante lies roughly 90 km south-west and Valencia 100 km north. Within this micro-region Jávea functions as a self-contained market town with a large international resident base, which distinguishes it from more seasonally driven resort strips further south such as Torrevieja.
Distances from the plot, measured in straight lines: Platja de la Grava 1.4 km; Platgeta del Pope 2.3 km; Platja de l'Arenal 2.0 km; supermarket 218 m; pharmacy 339 m; EV charging point 887 m; hospital 7.5 km; Club de Golf Jávea 5.1 km, with further courses at Llebeig (8.5 km) and Gregal (8.7 km). Airports: Alicante-Elche approximately 84 km, Valencia approximately 97 km, both roughly an hour to ninety minutes by road. Public transport is limited, two bus stops are recorded, so a car is practical for regional travel, while most daily errands can be done on foot or by bicycle given the flat terrain.

Jávea records approximately 3,802 sunshine hours per year, a figure comparable with the highest in Spain. The average annual temperature is 18.4°C, with monthly averages ranging from about 11°C in winter to 26°C in summer. The sea-temperature-based swimming season, defined as months with water at 20°C or above, lasts around four months, although pool use on the plot extends this window. The plot lies at 11 metres above sea level on essentially flat ground, with a 0.4% gradient towards the coast, relevant for construction logistics and for access without stairs or steep paths. The town sits on the flank of the Montgó Massif, sheltered between rocky headlands, which moderates wind exposure relative to more exposed stretches of coastline. The immediate surroundings shown in the imagery are green, with established trees on and around the plot.
