Holiday visitors in pursuit of a hectic holiday nightlife may well be disappointed with Javea, where activity after dark is limited to the strumming of Spanish guitars in a few restaurants and bars, or the odd flamenco show, even during the height of the summer season. A few British bars offer football, pool tables and sometimes karaoke nights. There are one or two discreet discotheques open during summer in the Arenal area. For a rollicking night out visitors will have to travel to the larger, more frenetic resorts nearby, particularly Benidorm.
