The elevated position opens up broad views across the coast, the sea and the Marina Alta landscape.
Between Javea and Moraira
Cumbre del Sol
Cumbre del Sol rises above the Benitatxell coast between Javea and Moraira. It is ideal for a scenic drive with wide Marina Alta views and combines naturally with Cala del Moraig.
Day trips & surroundings
Cumbre del Sol sits high above the coast of El Poble Nou de Benitatxell and feels very different from Javea’s flatter beachfront areas. Roads wind through the hillsides and the Mediterranean keeps reappearing between the slopes. Rather than one single attraction, this is a place that works best as part of a relaxed route between Javea, Benitatxell, Cala del Moraig and Moraira. The journey itself is part of the experience: drive, stop, enjoy the views and decide where you want to go next.
Cumbre del Sol is well placed for a route linking Javea, Benitatxell and Moraira.
Cala del Moraig fits easily into the same outing if you want to combine viewpoints with time by the sea.
01
A drive where the road is part of the outing
Cumbre del Sol is particularly enjoyable if you prefer exploring without a rigid sightseeing schedule. The hillside roads, changing views and proximity to the sea keep the journey interesting, whether you plan a scenic loop or simply use the area to connect several stops.
02
Pair it with Cala del Moraig and Benitatxell
If Cala del Moraig is already on your list, Cumbre del Sol is a natural addition on the same side of the Marina Alta. You can combine sea views and coastline without filling the day with long distances, leaving plenty of time to stop when somewhere catches your eye.
03
From Javea towards Moraira – or the other way round
Its position makes the route very flexible. Start in Javea and continue through Benitatxell towards Moraira, or reverse the journey and return towards Javea later in the day. Both directions give the outing a good sense of movement rather than a simple there-and-back trip.
04
Return to southern Javea without heading into the centre
On the way back, you do not have to drive all the way to the Arenal or the old town just to find somewhere to eat. Balcon al Mar sits in southern Javea and fits naturally into a return via the coastal area around Cap de la Nau.
05
Turn the scenic drive into a relaxed evening with us
After the coast and viewpoints, settle in on our terrace, stop for a drink at the bar or stay for dinner. Our menu includes Mediterranean dishes, fish, burgers, pasta and food from the charcoal grill, giving you an easy finish to the day away from the busiest central areas.

Cumbre del Sol in pictures
Cumbre del Sol rises high above the Benitatxell coastline, with broad views towards Javea, Moraira and the Mediterranean. Its elevated position makes the area especially appealing for a short panoramic drive and gives you a very different perspective on the coast below.
It combines well with Cala del Moraig or a route between Benitatxell and Javea. You do not need to make it a full-day excursion: one or two stops are enough to appreciate the contrast between the hills, residential areas and rocky coastline.
On the way back towards Javea, Balcon al Mar is a convenient place to pause. If you would rather not drive far afterwards, come and eat with us, sit on the terrace or stay for a drink. It turns a scenic drive into a relaxed finish rather than simply ending the day in the car.
