The Montgo mountain is one of Javea’s most stunning features as it is the highest mountain in the area at 750m. Many people believe the mountain resembles an elephants head with the trunk rolling down to the sea.
The mountain changes colour with the sunrise and sunset. The residential areas all nestle in the shade of the mountain protecting the area from the North winds and most face South.
Nearly all the villas enjoy mountain views with some on the higher slopes also having sea views. Minimum plot sizes on the Montgo originally were 1000 square meters, but most properties are on at least 1500 square meters plots giving the area a more residential feel.
The streets are narrow and enjoy a country feel while still being close to the Arenal beach area. The 5 star Marriott Hotel is located in this area with health spa, there are many restaurants and a small supermarket located at La Ermita.
The urbanisations of Castellans and Rimontgo are also located here.
