The quality, the service, the leisure activities, the climate… if you want to find a reason to choose Residential Resort Cumbre del Sol, there are plenty of them! There are many factors that will lead you choose one of our villas or flats.
From the very first moment, our clients are our top priority. That is why we offer personalised attention in your native language throughout the whole process. As well as guarantees such as access to an extranet to follow the work progress on your new home. And if that’s not enough, we also help you with utility set-up and keep a key to your home on hand if you wish.
As Anne, one of the residents of Residential Resort Cumbre del Sol says, we involve the client in the entire process. “I had a lot of feedback, and I felt comfortable to share it; I knew that when I asked for something, they would do their best to make it happen.” This is what Anne shared about the construction of what has been her home for the last ten years.
Anne and her husband Bob had been looking for a second home in a European country such as France or Italy for some time. However, “we always found something we were hesitant about, and finally, at Cumbre del Sol, there were no hesitations. It was a ‘yes’,” she says.
Something similar happened to another of our neighbours, Kenny Belaey, at Residential Resort Cumbre del Sol. With different goals than those of Anne and Bob, he was looking for a place to practice his favourite sport: trial cycling, a very common sport in Spain. At first, he had Barcelona, Valencia or Torrevieja in mind as cities to relocate and buy a new home. But it was a friend’s recommendation that eventually led him to Residential Resort Cumbre del Sol. He told him about the wonderful views, the mountains and the surroundings. This place became home for him nine years ago now.
Our clients have always been content with the amenities and services in the surrounding areas. Mr. Wim chose one of our apartments in the Montecala Gardens development at Residential Resort Cumbre del Sol. He specifically says he chose it because of its “top quality.” Now, he values the space he has in his home so that he can have guests and still preserve his privacy.
The residents at Residential Resort Cumbre del Sol also appreciate the range of activities that their surroundings offer. “The days here are very short,” says Anne, who can’t even count the numerous plans she and her husband have already made at Residential Resort Cumbre del Sol: “We like to snorkel, scuba dive… we have many good friends here with whom we have barbecues as well.”
Mr. Wim also values the nature that surrounds his apartment. It allows him to have a greater connection with it, be it through hiking trails or swimming. From a more youthful perspective, Kenny is clear: “You can do everything. You can relax, eat good food, in the summer go to good parties….” Various ages, hobbies, tastes… there’s something for everyone!
You too can create a new community and have barbecues like Anne and Bob or visit the sea every day like Mr. Wim! At Residential Resort Cumbre del Sol, we have considered every last detail for you. Are you ready to experience it?

One of the first things to do when you arrive at your new home is to set up the utilities. This tends to happen when it is a newly built home or a house that has been empty for a long time. On the other hand, if it is a home that has had tenants until recently, the utilities have usually been kept on and you only have to change owner information. In any case, if you need to know what the requirements are for setting up your utilities, read on!
How to register for electricity and gas in a second-hand or new home?
The requirements for registering for electricity and gas are the same whether the property is new or old: you just have to provide the necessary information to complete the registration. First of all, it is necessary to indicate the personal details of the owner and the contact details. Another of the requirements for registering for electricity and gas is to indicate the CUPS number and the address of the property, as well as a proof of ownership of the property, such as a rental contract or the property deeds. It is also important to select the rate that you are contracting and the desired electrical power in the case of electricity, as well as the gas fee.
How much does it cost to sign up for electricity and gas?
Unlike what happens with the change of owner, utility set up is not completely free of charge. The cost, however, is not determined by the supplier with whom you are going to contract, but is a regulated procedure charged by the gas and electricity distributors themselves. The cost of electricity is determined by the electrical power; in other words, the higher the power, the higher the price. Something similar happens with natural gas: higher access fees are more expensive.
How long does the registration process usually take?
If the house you are going to move into does not have its electricity and gas utilities activated, you should try to start the registration process as soon as possible, as the process is not immediate. In this regard, you can’t wait until you move into your new home to register for electricity and gas because you will find that the utilities won’t be activated for several days. Currently, it is estimated that it takes between 5 and 7 working days to register for electricity and gas. In order to carry out the procedure, a technician will go to a home on an agreed date and time to start the connection; and once the work has been completed, all you have to do is wait for the corresponding distribution company to activate the supply.

We currently have villas and flats available in different developments, to suit all tastes and family types.
If you prefer an apartment for your summer, Easter or Christmas holidays, you still have the chance to turn our Montecala Gardens into your place of relaxation. A few days ago we launched the second block of apartments! Right now, there are five ground floor flats and two top floor apartments available. All of them have two bedrooms and two bathrooms and make the most of the Mediterranean climate. If you opt for a ground floor flat, you can enjoy a terrace and garden, while on the top floor you will have your own terrace and sun deck. In addition, the communal areas include everything you need to enjoy yourself. Specifically, there are two swimming pools with large sun decks, a children’s playground, and a club house.
If apartments aren’t your thing and you prefer a villa, you are in luck! We currently have two villas available in two of our developments. The first one is Villa Rodas. Located within our Lirios Design development, this modern design villa has a single floor layout and includes three double bedrooms, all with access to the terrace. In addition to the living room, dining room and fully equipped kitchen, one of the main attractions of this villa is the terrace with infinity pool.
If you prefer a more contemporary and minimalist style villa, Villa Palma, at our Magnolias Design development awaits you. Completely finished and well-equipped, the interior of this villa is linked to its exterior by large windows that welcome natural light every day. The interior offers three bedrooms and two bathrooms, and the exterior offers a space where you can enjoy the terrace and your private swimming pool.

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!
