Resorts in Xàbia tend to sit along the Arenal beachfront or above the bay, giving you a strong sense of place from the moment you arrive.

Go all-inclusive

When to visit Xàbia
High and low season in Xàbia
Summer draws the biggest crowds to Xàbia, with warm, dry weather making it a popular choice for beach days and outdoor dining from June through August. Accommodation fills up fast during this period, so booking well ahead is a smart move, especially for July and August. The shoulder months of May and September offer similar conditions with noticeably fewer visitors.
From late autumn through early spring, Xàbia is much quieter, and you'll find accommodation easier to secure and generally cheaper. Some seasonal businesses close or reduce their hours, and the beach scene is far less active. That said, the area holds its appeal for walking, exploring, and enjoying the slower rhythm of everyday local life.
Xàbia hosts traditional Valencian fiestas throughout the year, including celebrations tied to patron saints and seasonal events on the local calendar. The official tourism website for Xàbia is a reliable starting point for current event listings before your trip. Visitor information centres in the area can also point you toward community activities during your stay.
Events in Xàbia
Festes de la Mare de Déu de Loreto: Xàbia's biggest local celebration centres on its patron saint and fills the old town with processions, music, and traditional performances. It's a deeply rooted event that draws locals and visitors together. You'll get a genuine look at how the town marks its heritage.
Fogueres de Sant Joan: Bonfires are lit across Xàbia as part of this fire festival tied to the feast of Saint John. Neighbourhoods build elaborate monuments that are ceremonially burned. It's loud, communal, and unlike most things you'll experience elsewhere.
Mostra de la Gamba: This seafood festival puts Xàbia's famous local prawns front and centre. Restaurants and stalls serve freshly prepared dishes along the port area. If you enjoy simple, well-sourced seafood, this one's worth planning around.
Check local tourism boards before your trip for the latest event details.
