VAPF: extensive choice of homes on the Costa Blanca

At VAPF we have been building homes since 1963. The Costa Blanca is the scenario for all our homes, distributed around different towns and villages, all with plenty of tourist, cultural and gastronomic attractions.

Residential Resort Cumbre del Sol is our largest residential resort, located in Poble Nou de Benitatxell, where we currently have five developments. The main advantage of all the exclusive homes in Cumbre del Sol is its excellent location. Set high on a hill, yet only a few metres from the sea, Cumbre del Sol forms a natural balcony looking out onto the Mediterranean. The area is surrounded by nature, and the homes enjoy exclusive panoramic views of the sea. In addition, every service is on hand which makes it easy to live there all year round.

Montecala Gardens

Montecala Gardens, with its natural feel, has 2 bedroom apartments currently available, fully equipped and with 2 bathrooms. Luxury apartments in Cumbre del Sol with communal areas that match the exclusive homes, with several pools, ample terraces, children’s play areas, gardens etc. An ideal development for a relaxing family life.

Magnolias Design, ultra-modern independent villas in Cumbre del Sol, designed to make the most of the sea views and with some top design features, with 3 and 4 bedrooms, spacious living areas, outdoor zones with porches, terraces, private pool and garden. The villas are ready to move into now.

However, if you like to walk everywhere, to the sports area, the shopping centre and restaurants, your ideal home is Villa Edén. Located in the Encinas Design development, its architecture and aesthetic are particularly striking. The style is ultra-modern, with clean lines and with white as the defining feature. Three bedrooms with en suite bathrooms on the top floor, all facing the sea. On the ground floor, the living room, and the kitchen with breakfast bar form an extension of the terrace.

Villa Edén

The most exclusive option in the Resort, ideal for those who would like their own customised home, is Residencial Jazmines, a unique location, where there are plots designated for building spacious homes, and currently we have 3 luxury villas under construction, Villa Amanecer, Villa Estrella and Villa Luna , which you are sure to love, or which will inspire you to create your own home with VAPF’s help.

Finally, we present our new residential development in Cumbre del Sol: Novamar Suites 2. A block of exclusive apartments on the Costa Blanca. Right on the sea front, in one of the most exclusive areas of the Mediterranean coast. It has an area specially created to enjoy both outdoors and indoors alike, and all the rooms have access to a terrace, if you are interested, just ask our pre- sales department for more information.

But Residential Resort Cumbre del Sol is not the only place where we have houses and apartments available. As we have mentioned, there are other homes in different parts of the Costa Blanca, such as Altea for example. Blanc Altea Homes and Azure Altea Homes 2 are two developments in this area of Alicante province. The latter has two models of three storey homes equipped for maximum comfort, style and elegance: Villa Senza and Villa Plenum. They have plenty of open spaces, both indoor and out, and both homes bask in the Mediterranean light.

Villa Senza

Now let’s take a look at Racó de Galeno-Benissa, where VAPF also has a presence. Three en suite bedrooms, and an impressive master bedroom which is striking in that it has a bathroom equipped with a bath that overlooks the sea. Does that sound good? That’s what Villa Neva, already under construction, will offer. Villa Lena is another of the fabulous homes that we are building. This villa is built for comfort with all the rooms distributed over a single floor.

Blue flag beaches on the Costa Blanca

Blue flag beaches on the Costa Blanca

This year once again, the Valencian Community led the way with the highest number of blue flag beaches in Spain. In fact, this year three more beaches have been added compared to last year’s list. But why is this flag so important? Is it to do with the environment? Would you like to know which are the best beaches on the Costa Blanca that are flying this blue flag? Keep reading to find out what makes them so special!

What does it mean to see a blue flag flying on a beach?

The blue flag is the highest accolade a beach or sports marina can receive, in recognition of the environmental quality of its waters. To be awarded a flag, these places have to fulfil a number of requirements to meet certain standards. To give you an idea of what it means, it is rather like a restaurant receiving a Michelin star. But do you know the selection criteria that are used? And the characteristics of these beaches?

The most important feature is the quality of the water. In fact, the Costa Blanca blue flag beaches have the cleanest, most limpid crystal clear waters that enable you to see the sea bed at all times. But that’s not all. The blue flag guarantees the cleanliness of the beaches as well. So it insists on proper waste management to preserve the natural environment, and to respect biodiversity, even though many of these places are tourist hot spots. This recognition also ensures that the beaches are safe and accessible for people with reduced mobility. Although, here we should mention that pets are not allowed.

Blue flag beaches on the Costa Blanca

We never tire of telling you that Residential Resort Cumbre del Sol offers so many advantages! One of the main ones, especially now in the summer, is that of having the best beaches on your doorstep. A treat for the senses! And we are not talking about just any old beaches, but some of the very best ones. Both for their surroundings and also for the blue flag flying overhead. Shall we go to the beach then?

You are sure to know this famous little cove already as it is part of Residential Resort Cumbre del Sol: Cala Moraig. It is the ideal spot to freshen up with a dip in the water, for snorkelling or for enjoying some peace and quiet. And just a few kilometres away there is another little beach with enormous charm that belongs to the district of Benissa. Do you know which one it is? Yes, that’s right, its Cala Fustera!

Do you want to enjoy beach and a bit of urban life without straying too far from home? Then we have the perfect towns just on our doorstep: Altea and Denia! Altea has no less than 3 beaches with a blue flag: Cap Blanc, La Roda and L’Espigó. You will also find every type of beach, both sandy and pebbly. There are beaches to suit everyone, but one thing is sure, once you get there you won’t want to go home.

When you are in Denia you can choose from among 6 beaches with a blue flag. Els Molinis beach is ideal for water sports or for a beach volley ball game with friends. If you’re planning a family day out at the seaside your best bet is Les Marines. It has everything you need with all kind of services. For example: If you are looking for comfort above anything else, you can rent a hammock and a sunshade there.

Now we have told you some of the best blue flag beaches on the Costa Blanca you know what you need to do, right?

From Denia to Pilar de la Horadada: The Costa Blanca is a Mediterranean Paradise

From Denia to Pilar de la Horadada: The Costa Blanca is a Mediterranean Paradise

244 km of coastline, 20 villages and an average annual temperature of 18 °C. The Costa Blanca is a paradise, and we know we don’t have to do anything to prove it! Still, we want to tell you about some of the peculiarities of this region and encourage you to visit its most emblematic places.

First of all, why the name Costa Blanca (White Coast)? There are different theories, but the most convincing one is clear just by observing the landscape. From the sky, the view of this coast is, as its name suggests, white. From its sandy beaches to the architectural aesthetics of its villages and white homes like those of VAPF. This white contrasts with the crystal-clear blue waters that further enhance the radiance of the coastline. Another theory attributes this famous name to British Airlines.  According to this theory, the airline used this name in 1975 to promote a flight between London and Valencia.

If there is one thing that stands out about the Costa Blanca, it is the geography. Have you heard of the Peñón de Ifach? This corner of the region, located in Calpe, is home to a natural park that is free to visit but does require reservations. From Residential Resort Cumbre del Sol you can reach it in half an hour by car, so it’s a great option for a day trip!

But Calpe is much more! Without going any further, the Baños de la Reina (Queen’s Baths) is next to the Salinas de Calpe. These are artificial pools that are carved into the rock and which contain a lot of history. Initially dedicated to aquaculture, today they make up one more historical attraction along the Spanish Costa Blanca. You can enjoy activities such as snorkeling to discover its underwater tunnels.

We were talking about the characteristic white color that washes the facades of the Costa Blanca. It’s not just Santorini or Ibiza that enjoy such views! Just a few kilometers from Residential Resort Cumbre del Sol, Altea stands as a white paradise. This town is beautiful from the outside but holds just as much charm on the inside. Its many monuments and landmarks show the passage of time and the mark that history has left on it. A good overview of all this can be experienced by taking a walk through the Old Town. It stands out for its preserved old town with its cobblestone streets, white houses and flowerpots.

And if you are a history buff, you can head towards Denia. Just over half an hour’s drive from Residential Resort Cumbre del Sol, here you can travel through centuries of history in just one day! Denia Castle is home to Roman, Muslim and medieval Christian remains. These traces can be found all over the city, from the historic district of Les Roques to the Torre del Gerro. The latter is a watchtower-built centuries ago with the aim of controlling the coast and its visitors.

All this geography filled with history and incomparable natural landscapes offers many interesting hiking routes. In Denia, the Montgó natural park is both a landscape and a viewpoint from which to contemplate the Mediterranean Sea. The hiking trails are only part of the many routes that can be done from Cumbre del Sol. One can also enjoy them cycling, scuba diving, etc…. there is no time for boredom!

So you can see that your life at Cumbre del Sol is filled with plans surrounded by nature and full of history. And for more suggestions, don’t hesitate to visit our blog and follow us on Facebook and Instagram you too can be part of the Costa Blanca!

VAPF Wishes You Happy Holidays

VAPF Wishes You Happy Holidays

2020 is coming to an end and it’s time to bid it farewell in the company of our loved ones. We have all lived through difficult times, but the Christmas holidays will hopefully bring a little happiness, joy and magic into our lives. That is why we want to take advantage of this time to be with our immediate family (always respecting safety measures), but above all we want to thank you for trusting us and deciding to be part of the VAPF family.

As you may know, we had to cancel all the events that we are used to holding at Residential Resort Cumbre del Sol, but we were very lucky to be able to host one major event: the Region of Valencia Tennis Challenge. But unfortunately, we weren’t able to celebrate Saint John’s Eve, Belgian National Day and our traditional Christmas decoration competition as we do together every year. We did, however, decorate the residential complex to spread a little holiday cheer in this beautiful setting and we invite you to do the same so that Christmas reaches every corner of Cumbre del Sol. Trees, Christmas balls, garlands, lights… let yourself get carried away by this festive season and let’s end the year on a more positive note. Needless to say, we hope to meet again soon at one of the many events we usually organize to take advantage all the many wonders of the Costa Blanca together.

Even so, there are things that do not change no matter what. VAPF will always be by your side and the quality of our services is top rate. We are always available and willing to help you if you have any doubts or problems, and we have even adapted our procedures to the current situation to guarantee your safety and well-being. For this reason, we have written articles with different activities that can be done at home or in the vicinity and we have also launched a new virtual tour service that allows you to see your future home for the first time from the comfort of your current home. We have also organised various regular webinars so that you can get to know our products better and reduce the distance between us. We hope to simplify the purchase of your new home as much as possible so all you have to think about is the life that awaits you on the Costa Blanca. Furthermore, at Residential Resort Cumbre del Sol there are many services available, you will be able to enjoy exceptional surroundings, nestled between the mountains and sea, and you’ll enjoy a home with high quality finishes.

To meet the needs of our clients, we are continuing to build apartments at Blue Infinity, we have apartments and villas ready to move in and we have launched a new development in Altea and La Sella.

VAPF’s success lies in the homes that we offer in exclusive locations, but above all, our success lies with you, because without your support we wouldn’t be able to continue our work. We want to say thank you for this 2020 and rest assured that we will continue as always working to offer the best services and amenities. We wish you an excellent holiday season and hope to see you again in 2021. Thank you and happy holidays!
