If you are one of the lucky ones who lives at Residential Resort Cumbre del Sol and enjoy an incredible life by the sea, or if you spend a lot of time visiting your friends and family, eating at our restaurants and bars, or simply admiring the views from the wonderful Cala del Moraig, then you might have already noticed we are offering a new service. Yes, we’re referring to the unique experience of glamping at Dreamsea Mediterranean.
The camp is located in the neighbourhood of Pp Cds Mar II-Olivos, 97, in the heart of Cumbre del Sol and it’s just above the Cala del Moraig. This glamping (glamorous + camping) experience invites you to camp in the fresh air in double tents or shared tents (for 3 people) which have the same luxury and amenities as the best hotels. Currently, Dreamsea Mediterranean isn’t offering accommodation because winter is approaching, but this doesn’t mean its facilities are closed. On the contrary!
The managers of this establishment offer a wide variety of activities, so you can relax in an incredible natural environment and enjoy the sights and the sea during any season. They’re waiting for you Tuesday to Sunday, from 9:00 to 15:00, to savour a delicious brunch next to the pool and with views of the sea. You’ll have the possibility of choosing between three different breakfast options. On Fridays, they also offer a distinct gastronomic experience, as you can try the Dreamsea Social Club Brunch. If you’re still hungry or want to try other options, we invite you to look at the menu and discover the daily specials.
If you miss the yoga classes we organised all through the summer, then you’re in luck as Dreamsea Mediterranean offers different classes throughout the week. The Dreamsea Mediterranean YOGA event awaits you Tuesday to Friday from 11:00 to 13:00. There’s hatha yoga, yin yoga, meditation, and on Friday’s a special vinyasa yoga and chakras class. They also offer different monthly payment plans if you prefer to attend 2, 3 or 4 classes a week. Do you want to try the classes beforehand or go to individual classes? That’s not a problem! There are special rates and even an offer to book a class with brunch at an exceptional price. Don’t hesitate to consult their Facebook page for more information!
After opening your chakras and relaxing in harmony with nature, you can undertake more physical activities in the sea and discover the Costa Blanca from the water. Keep working on your balance on a SUP board (stand up paddleboarding), or in a kayak with snorkelling gear to glide through the Mediterranean and discover all the secrets hidden in its waters. Dreamsea Mediterranean will provide you with all the necessary equipment (neoprene wetsuits and booties), and the activities are both 2 hours long.

That’s not all! Every weekend they organize the Saturday and Sunday Vermouth, a series of free entry concerts where you can make special memories with your friends and family. There’s nothing better than drinking good vermouth in great company while you admire the beauty of the Mediterranean. The SwingX4 band invites you to enjoy their swing music typical of the 30s and 40s, from 12:00 to 15:00 every Saturday. On Sundays Jordi Porcel, a singer from Barcelona, plays folk and bossa nova songs which will accompany you as you enjoy the tapas and the different dishes on the menu. Don’t forget that there’s free entry, so give it a go and enjoy the best music.
Whether you already live in Cumbre del Sol or you still don’t know the zone, we recommend you drop by the area and discover this glamping experience where you can enjoy something unique on the Costa Blanca.

The Costa Blanca is a paradise which is visited by a large number of people from all over the world each year who all come in search of a new life in front of the sea at Residential Resort Cumbre del Sol. However, the fact that it’s next to the coast doesn’t mean it’s all about the beach and mountains, since in the province of Alicante you can enjoy a completely different kind of tourism: wine tourism. Travel through the Alicante wine route and discover its best vineyards. Not only will you get to taste this magnificent drink, but you can also make the most of this opportunity and try the varied local gastronomy of the entire area.
This wine route unites three regions under the same symbol: the vineyard. On one side, in the North, there are the regions of Marina Alta and Marina Baixa, which have the towns of Castell de Castells, Benigembla, Murla, Parcent, Alcalalí, Xaló, Llíber, Senija, Benissa, Calp and Teulada-Moraira. On the other side, in the South, there’s the region of Vinalopó, which has the towns of Algueña, Monóvar, Novelda, Petrer, Pinoso, Salinas, Sax, Villena and Elche. Follow the Alicante wine route and get swept away by the diversity and richness of its treasured vineyards.
Throughout your journey, you will taste the best wines of the province, which have a protected designation of origin. One of the wines you must try no matter what is Fondillón, completely made from the Monastrell grape which is very well known thanks to its tradition in Europe. This is a unique wine; whose production is a difficult one as it is made using old vineyards which currently have very limited availability. This is the reason behind its rarity. But if you’re a bigger fan of white wine, then we recommend you try the dry wine Marina Alta de Bocopa, an exquisite product which is made from the grape Alejandría muscatel. Those who prefer red wines are in luck because we produce an excellent pinot noir and petit verdot. Explore all the available options and enjoy an unforgettable experience thanks to this tour.
Don’t hesitate to visit the different wineries in the province. Some of them offer guided visits with the possibility of wine tasting. If you begin your itinerary at Vinalopó, the Finca Collado winery is an unmissable stop during the tour where you can discover the Mediterranean winemaking process. Meanwhile, the winery Xalo or the one in Parcent await you in the region of Marina Alta, all with reputations which precede them.
You can also make the most of this opportunity and explore and discover the local gastronomy and combine the flavours of the traditional dishes with the delicacy of the wines of Alicante. Just try resisting arroz a banda accompanied by a glass of good wine, it’s impossible! So just let yourself get swept away!
Alicante is a place with so much to offer: an idyllic environment, a renowned wine culture, a vast gastronomic richness… If you choose to live in the Cumbre del Sol Residential Resort, your dreams will become reality and you will begin a new life under the sun and in front of the sea. Don’t wait any longer and come toast with us!

If you live at Cumbre del Sol Residential Resort you know better than anyone that it’s an invigorating experience for all the senses. The weather, landscapes, and beaches together create the perfect combination for the dream life you’ve always hoped for. However, the Costa Blanca in general and Poble Nou de Benitatxell specifically has hidden secrets and delights that you might not be aware of. To discover them, we propose a series of free guided tours offered by the Town Hall during the following months. If you haven’t considered going, think again and take note of the ones that are happening in September!
Take advantage of this month to discover the centre of Poble Nou de Benitatxell with the History and Heritage Route (La Ruta Histórica y de Patrimonio), which takes place every Friday at 6:00 pm and offers you a glimpse into the history, culture, and gastronomy of the town. The route begins with a guided visit of the Santa María Magdalena church and continues along the “El Portalet” old wall and the Jaume Llobell chapel. The second part of the route focuses on traditional architecture with a visit to the “riuaus” or raisin drying facilities and takes you through the Pous de I’Abiar, the Cova de las Bruixes and ends by contemplating the beautiful landscape of the vineyards. Undoubtedly, this route is the perfect opportunity to better understand the Iberian, Roman, and Muslim past of the town.
On the other hand, the Cliffs’ Route (La Ruta de los Acantilados) offers you a guided tour along the coast next to the cliffs until you reach Cala Llebeig. Thanks to this visit, you can get to know the hidden stories behind the places where smugglers, fishermen, and farmers lived and gathered and collected experiences in this part of the Costa Blanca. Bear in mind that the trail is not an easy one, and runs through cliffs, ravines, and the Cala Moraig fault. If you are interested, the visit takes place every Thursday in September at 5:30 pm.
In addition to these routes, considering Benitatxell’s desire to promote its historical and cultural heritage, the town is organizing another nocturnal route, with the title “Between witches and bandits,” in Spanish, “Entre brujas y bandoleros.” The local historian Pepe Cano was responsible for creating this tour that turned out to be a big success by bringing together more than 100 neighbors and tourists.
If you are interested in discovering the history and attractions that Poble Nou de Benitatxell has to offer, you can register for the guided tours at the tourism office, by calling 96 649 35 46, by sending an email to benitatxell@touristinfo.net or completing the registration form.

Cumbre del Sol Residential Resort is a little piece of paradise in which, thanks to its warm temperatures, you can make the most of all year-round. Summer 2019 has been no different, and we’ve had a calendar full of events and new happenings. Did you miss any of them? Here you’ll find a summary of all our events.
On June 23rd, we celebrated the magical St. John’s Eve to kick off the summer. This time around it was held at the La Cumbre Restaurant, where we were surrounded by a spectacular atmosphere and delightful views. The residents enjoyed a pleasant dinner and at midnight they made their wishes by the bonfire for the coming year. Those who opted to stay and continue the celebrations danced the night away until the wee hours of the morning.
On July 21st, as has become tradition here at VAPF, we commemorated Belgian National Day with neighbours and friends. This was the 3rd edition of the event which brought out over 200 people! The guests enjoy a welcome cocktail, dinner, a photocall, and music. In addition, the little ones had a great time with the entertainers and the older folks were able to participate in a raffle with great giveaways. Things were later livened up with a firework show as well as a singer who delighted us with her voice from the pool area, creating a festive atmosphere.
In August, we celebrated another special event, the 3rd Classic Car Rally. On this occasion, we collaborated with the Vehícles Històrics La Marina association of Benissa. The cars left from Benissa to drive to Restaurant La Cumbre, where they were on display all evening. Attendees celebrated the night with a dinner, music and a fun photocall.
In addition, on the 25th, the Tour of Spain passed through the residence and we were able to watch it from our villas. Guests were able to see everything from the front line while enjoying an aperitif and a meal that included music.
It’s important to note that they haven’t all been one-time events! During July and August, we offered free yoga sessions located in beautiful outdoor settings: Tuesdays at 7:00 pm at Cala del Moraig and Thursdays at 9:00 am at Mirador dels Testos, two locations in which our residents could get up close and connect with nature and the sounds of the sea.
Two padel tennis tournaments and one tennis tournament were held for our most sporty residents, in collaboration with Dylan Mary Tennis Academy on the padel and tennis courts at Cumbre del Sol Residential Resort.
It was a summer filled with events for all tastes and styles and we want to take the time to take all those who participated.
