Welcome to San Javier
Located in Spain’s southwest, San Javier is uniquely positioned to offer the best of the region's natural beauty, warm waters of the Mar Menor, and vibrant Spanish culture. This serene stretch of coast, part of the increasingly popular Costa Cálida, is ideally situated within easy reach of Murcia, making it a perfect spot for those looking to enjoy a superb climate, the great outdoors, and authentic local experiences.
Tranquil Waters and Natural Beauty
San Javier has long been recognized as the gateway to the Costa Cálida, known as 'the warm coast.' Although the town was once primarily known for hosting Murcia’s airport, the facility's relocation in 2019 has shifted focus back to San Javier’s natural allure, especially its proximity to the Mar Menor. This tranquil lagoon, separated from the Mediterranean by a narrow strip of land, offers a peaceful alternative to the bustling beaches of the Costa Blanca.

Residents and visitors are drawn to San Javier not only for its climate but also for its cultural vibrancy, highlighted by events such as the annual jazz festival. The area is also a hub for golf enthusiasts and water sports aficionados, offering ample facilities for a variety of activities.
