Activities to enjoy nature (I): The Mediterranean

Activities to enjoy nature (I): The Mediterranean

The Mediterranean Sea bathes almost 250 kilometres with its waters forming coves, beaches, cliffs, and unique places on the Costa Blanca. Hours, days, and months of sunshine all year round in a unique enclave that shines brilliantly in spring. Taking advantage of the good weather, in today’s article we’re going to tell you about some activities to enjoy nature with friends and family around Cumbre del Sol. Take note!

Visit the coves of Jávea in kayak

Explore the cliffs, crystal clear waters, caves and spectacular coves of Jávea by kayak. Get up close and personal with the aquatic world and be amazed by of one of the most famous coastlines in Spain. The coast of Jávea is the perfect place to enjoy guided kayak routes. Don’t worry if you’ve never used a kayak before, if you know how to swim and are in good enough shape, that’s more than enough, you’ll be accompanied at all times. One of the best ways to get in touch with the sea and relax on a day of calm waters.

Beach and mountain? In the same place?

Can’t decide what to do and looking to tackle both beach and mountain? DreamseaSurf Camp Mediterran is your best option. An authentic luxury glamping site on the cliffs of Cala Moraig, with 21 tents and terraces where you can enjoy views of the sea. A different and stylish type of accommodation to enjoy a few days off be surrounded by nature. Stand up paddle boarding, snorkelling, kayaking and many other activities such as yoga, mountain biking and hiking await you in this popular destination. Without a doubt, this is a place where you can enjoy all of the Costa Blanca to the fullest.

Snorkelling, a classic

And just because it’s a classic doesn’t mean it’s any less fun. There are many places to snorkel in Alicante. From the long sandy beaches to the secluded coves, you can snorkel and find many surprises. Discover the seabed among the rocks and meadows of Posidonia oceanica. A huge variety of marine fauna hides in this area. A few minutes away from Cumbre del Sol you can find coves that seem to have been created specifically for snorkelling. We recommend the coves of Les Rotes and Cova Tallada (in Dénia). As well as the Barraca cove (Jávea) and Fossa beach (Calpe). If you want to stay closer to home, we suggest Moraig cove (Benitachell).  You can also visit some of Benissa’s coves such as Llobella, Advocat or Pinets. All of them are perfect for immersing yourself and enjoying this corner of the Costa Blanca.

Enjoy the peace and quiet

Maybe you feel like leaving your snorkelling gear at home, or you don’t feel like kayaking. If that’s that case, there’s nothing like enjoying the coastline from a boat. The perfect plan to discover the coastline by sea from Cumbre del Sol to the south of Alicante. Costa Blanca has a number of locations that are paradise. And which, of course, give the coves of Formentera or the sunsets in Ibiza a run for their money.

We think that Dénia is a good place to start, where you’ll find a natural cave like the Cova Tallada. Cabo de San Antonio (Jávea) is another good place to spot wildlife. This area is known for being frequented by sea turtles, dolphins, whales, and birds. In Jávea, you can also find the Bay of Portixoll, a classic for sailors in the area due to its scenic beauty. We cannot fail to mention the port of Moraira, one of the best located on the Costa Blanca. It is known above all for its superb location, sheltered by Cabo la Nao and Cabo Moraira, as well as the Peñón de Ifach. It’s also very close to the old town and has a wide range of restaurants and shopping areas.

The Mediterranean is like the deep sea waiting to be discovered, inside and out. Stay tuned for the next articles in our blog where we will bring you more plans and activities for summer.

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.
