Life at Residential Resort Cumbre del Sol is very relaxed and you’ll have everything you need very close to home. Ideally located in the northern Costa Blanca, between Valencia and Alicante, you’ll find dreamy villas and apartments at this residential complex to turn your Spanish dreams into a reality.  If you are lucky enough to be the owner of one of these homes, you already know that at Cumbre del Sol, you’re not lacking any service or amenity, such as fiber optics, so you’re always connected. Moreover, you can enjoy exceptional surroundings, with ample opportunity to explore the natural wonders all around you.

We know that one of the most important things to consider is your children. The little ones will have the opportunity to study at Lady Elizabeth School, recognized as one of the best schools in the country. The school’s facilities aren’t lacking, as it has an indoor swimming pool, a soccer field, spacious and bright classrooms and interactive whiteboards. In addition, residents can benefit from the agreement that VAPF signed with the school in September 2019. For all these reasons, it is a unique place for the development and education of your children.

Education is very important, but leisure is as well. That’s why you can find various sports facilities at Residential Resort Cumbre del Sol. Slip on your comfortable walking shoes and discover the paths that run very close to your home; grab your racket and some balls to play a game of tennis or paddle on the resort’s courts or, if you prefer, you can also stop by the equestrian centre to sign up for riding lessons or go for a ride on horseback.

All these activities will likely whet your appetite and therefore you’ll find several restaurants nearby, some with Michelin stars, both near and within Cumbre del Sol. Cañada del Sol and Como en Casa are ideal for a quick drink after a game; Kiosko del Sol, on the northern entrance of Cumbre del Sol, right next to our offices, is perfect for breakfast or ordering lunch to take with you to work. If you continue on this road, you’ll arrive at the Adelfas shopping centre, where you’ll find the Acantilados bar-restaurant and La Cumbre restaurant. Acantilados opened this summer and has wonderful views of the sea; La Cumbre has been open for several years now and is ideal for enjoying typical Mediterranean dishes, such as different types of rice, with the whole family. Finally, you can also enjoy a mini-vacation without leaving Cumbre del Sol at DreamSeaMediterranean glamping and sign up for some of the sports activities they offer.

We’ve thought of everything our residents might need in their day-to-day life, so they don’t have to leave Residential Resort Cumbre del Sol unless it is absolutely necessary. Do you need to entertain last minute guests? No problem, you can book a table or order takeaway from one of the establishments we have already mentioned or pick something up at Pepe La Sal supermarket, located in the Adelfas shopping centre.
