New technologies, the frenetic way of life and constant sense of immediacy have brought changes to our lifestyle. It has become a routine from which the only escape is your holidays and sometimes these can actually be a bit of a disappointment.
However, in contrast to this way of life there is a movement afoot which seeks to reverse this frantic life style, adapting instead to a gentler, more restful way of life. The slow movement arose in the nineteen eighties in the food sector, but today it has come to encompass every aspect of life. So what is the main aim? Slowing down the pace of life, and in doing so, reducing stress and everything that goes with it.
And the fact is that a frenetic lifestyle not only deprives you of your spare time and experiences but it can also be bad for your health. So here at VAPF we are promoting the slow lifestyle and in this blog post we will tell you why Residential Resort Cumbre del Sol is the ideal place for making this happen.
The thinking behind slow life is that we should learn to enjoy life. And at Residential Resort Cumbre del Sol, that lesson is pretty easy to learn. Focusing on the present is one of the keys to enjoying life in the here and now. Yoga and mindfulness are two disciplines which, among others, encourage this idea of being in the moment and putting aside thoughts of the past or the future. How about trying it? Yoga on the beach is an extraordinary experience and it is a help when you want to try living the slow life At Residential Resort Cumbre del Sol, yoga is a very popular pastime.
Closely linked to this process is the opportunity to live close to nature. There is no question that our residents live in close proximity to mountains, forests, sea, in a natural paradise. Set in the heart of the Costa Blanca, Residential Resort Cumbre del Sol is bordered by the Granadella Natural Park. The local flora includes some real treasures such as a micro orchid reserve, or the fern species Asplenium Marino, which is unique to the region. The local fauna further enhance the connection with nature, as sea birds and raptors abound, along with small mammals like wild boar and foxes.
In terms of personal relations, the slow life movement inspires and encourages a connection with the local community. At Residential Resort Cumbre del Sol, we do our best to create good relations between neighbours through community events and activities. An example of this sense of community can be found in our paddle tournaments which create new friendships and sporting links.
Food is another factor to consider when you are moving towards a slow life style. It advocates local products, retail outlets and healthy restaurants and bars and Residential Resort Cumbre del Sol fulfils all these requirements, as local shops are family run, selling regional products and serving traditional Costa Blanca specialities.
And, finally disconnecting and silence are crucial tenets of the slow life philosophy. Our villas and apartments are designed for a tranquil, autonomous and independent lifestyle. The home interiors inspire creativity and a feeling of intimacy in our residents. The external features of the homes, often including an infinity pool and extensive chill out areas, provide a connection with nature and help to disconnect from a saturated world.
If you are thinking of changing your lifestyle and leaving behind all your accumulated stress, Residential Resort Cumbre del Sol is the place you’re looking for. We’re here waiting for you!

The last few months have been very difficult. We started by being at home one day after the next, and then continued with restrictions to what we could do. But it was and still is necessary to be responsible so that this situation can end soon, and so we can get back to enjoying every moment to the fullest.
Many lessons can be drawn from the last year. However, on a personal level, we can conclude that comfort and well-being at home are essential. And consequently, the desire for spaciousness and, if possible, an outdoor area.
That’s why our villas and apartments are everything you need to create a cosy environment. Have you had a chance to view them? We know that it is still a difficult time to travel and visit places far from our city of residence. That’s why at VAPF we offer alternatives so that you can get to know your next home without moving from where you are.
One of these options is our digital tours. Among its advantages, the most obvious is that you decide when you want to visit! After filling in our application form, one of our sales agents will contact you in your native language to arrange the day and time. Another advantage is that you decide from where and with whom to enjoy the tour through our villas. And who knows, maybe your next home!
However, if you are unsure about a specific development, we also offer another option. We recommend you attend one of the webinars we have scheduled for the coming weeks. The first one will be held on May 27th. And thanks to it, you will learn all about the Villas Advance: Lirios Design, Magnolias Sunset, Magnolias Pure Design… they will grab your attention!
In June, we also have two days of webinars on the calendar. On the 10th, you will learn more about what it’s like to live in Residential Resort Cumbre del Sol. We will talk about how to live here and also about taxes. We know it may be less attractive than getting to know one of our villas by the sea, however, it is essential information for future residents! Besides, the webinar on the 24th makes up for everything. The reason being that during the “La Sella experience” you will get to know apartments where both nature and the sea are the main protagonists.
With all this information, you will be able to decide on your next home before you even visit it. Furthermore, if you decide to start your new life with us, during the process you will be able to access services such as an extranet. Here you can check the status of your home and receive personalised attention in your own language, among other things.
For your first in person visit, we have also built-in exclusive services for your maximum comfort. You will have a free one-night hotel stay the day before handing over the keys, which will be personalised. We will explain to you how the facilities work. In addition, to make it easier for you, we will take care of some of the formalities, such as arranging direct debit for the utilities for your new home if you need it.
So, there’s no excuse! Getting to know your new home from your current location is possible. Moreover, you can do it with all the guarantees and knowing that, already during your first visit, everything will be ready. If you want to see more about our properties and promotions, you can follow us on our blog, Instagram and Facebook. We look forward to meeting you!
