This dreamy duplex in Javea Port boasts a beautiful balcony and expansive rooftop terrace as well as access to a gym, sauna and indoor and outdoor communal swimming pools. Situated within a gorgeous garden and pool complex, and surrounded by tropical plants, palm trees and sandstone-coloured walkways, this sensational Spanish home is sure to seduce. Featuring a well-equipped kitchen and open plan dining cum living room complete with a ravishing red sofa and matching footstool, this two-bedroom home is family friendly and fuss free.

You’ll love taking your morning coffee out onto the balcony before heading up to the rooftop for some good, old-fashioned R & R in the sun. Alternatively, start the day with a little cardio in the gym, followed by a sweat session in the sauna. In the summer months you’re bound to spend hours luxuriating in the outdoor pool or jacuzzi in the garden while at chillier times why not opt for the heated indoor pool?

If you fancy getting out and about, you’ll find your home’s privileged location a leisurely ten-minute stroll from Javea Port’s pretty marina and ‘La Grave’ stone strewn beach a blessing. Peruse the local boutiques or sample one of its restaurants or bars, wander up to the historic Old Town or saunter alongside the seaside until you reach sandy Arenal beach. If you’re game for some golf, two golf courses, including the Championship ‘La Sella’, are within a fifteen-minute drive.
