We accompany and advise you throughout the process of customising your new home in the Costa Blanca so that you will feel total relaxation and peace of mind knowing that you are in a piece of paradise when you open its doors. You’ll be in a space worthy of being called YOUR home.
We present a few spectacular models from our developments Jazmines, Racó de Galeno and Azure Altea Homes 2. Villas that are different from each other, but with the same modern and elegant style. A variety of designs that will awaken in you the desire to start a new life in Costa Blanca North.
Villa Aura and Villa Plenum: top design, efficiency, and quality
Aura and Plenum are two efficient villas in one of the most privileged and exclusive areas of Altea. These two VAPF projects are equipped with aerothermal heating, air conditioning, and hot water systems. They have solar panels and a charging point for electric cars, as well as a home automation system always connected to your home. A perfect combination of design, efficiency, and functionality.
The interiors of these customised villas share the same goal: to enjoy and share the Mediterranean light and climate. You can do so throughout Villa Aura’s 505 m2, and Villa Plenum’s 458 m2. The functional layout of these villas highlights that the views of the Mediterranean Sea are the focus in all the spaces of the villa. The common areas such as the living room, hall and, kitchen are configured in a single large and luminous space, which also opens up onto the large terrace and a relaxing infinity pool.
The outdoor spaces are designed to blend in perfectly with the surroundings. Clean architecture in a unique setting awaits you in these two customised villas in Azure Altea Homes 2.
In addition, you’ll enjoy a location where tranquillity and calm prevail. Your home surrounded by a mountain range with outstanding views of the sea. This is what you will find in the Sierra de Altea: the essence of the sea and nature just a few kilometres from the cosmopolitan town of Altea.
Villa Lena: for nature lovers
Racó de Galeno is found very close to the town of Benissa. A unique setting with spectacular views of the sea, the skyline of Calpe and the Peñón de Ifach. The perfect place for nature lovers.
Villa Lena is a truly luxurious representative of what Racó de Galeno has to offer. A design that stands out for its careful layout positioned to enhance the union between the interior and the exterior. It does so by means of windows that are hidden, creating open spaces that enhance the beauty of this customisable villa. Its single floor layout and two wings adds to its comfort.
In one wing, we find the bedrooms. Three double bedrooms, all with en-suite bathrooms. And in the other wing of the villa are the kitchen, the living room, and the dining room in a single open space with a guest toilet.
This care put into the interior design and layout carries through to the villa’s outside spaces, through the choice of elements inspired by wood. Also with planters, and with a glass wall in the swimming pool that communicates you directly with the sea. Details that invite you to live and enjoy the nature and peace that Racó de Galeno exudes.
The best views in the Mediterranean: Villa Faro and Villa Marblau
Residencial Jazmines is located in one of the most exclusive areas of Residential Resort Cumbre del Sol. The perfect place to live or to spend long periods. Nature in the form of impressive cliffs and coves and nearby services come together in this location.
A project full of soft colours, wood, and lots of natural light from the outside take shape in Villa Faro. Designed in several heights and in open, comfortable spaces in which the interior/exterior limits are crossed and blurred. The access to the house has the peculiarity of being on the top floor. From here, the stairs lead to the two wings where the 3 bedrooms of this villa are located. All of them include en-suite bathrooms. On the ground floor is the living area with kitchen, dining room, and porch… Outside, the infinity pool and jacuzzi are the centre of attention.
Villa Marblau has some special features. All bedrooms are bright and spacious and have their own bathroom and, like Faro, Villa Marblau also has a living area. An ideal place for guests where the living room includes a dining area with enough space for a large family. This room has a double height and the louvers in the upper window add light and grandeur. In addition, both the living room and the kitchen give access to an impressive terrace with a solarium and a chill out area that is completed with a large infinity pool with jacuzzi.
With their unique qualities in terms of design and placement, all these villas are made for you. Customised VAPF projects in dream locations, next to spectacular coves and beaches. The surroundings, cuisine, and leisure facilities combine to create your own personal little paradise on the Costa Blanca North.

We’re at that part in the year where we’re counting down the days to summer. Our body and mind knows it (and needs it). In fact, some people are one step ahead of bathing season, and many of them have chosen beaches in the Costa Blanca North.
The beaches with the blue flag distinction for this year 2022 have been announced. And, among the over 200km of beach in the Costa Blanca, there’s a good number of local representatives on this exclusive list. More specifically, there’s no more and no less than 74 blue flag beaches in the whole province of Alicante.
But before all else, what does this distinction mean? A blue flag is, above all else, a symbol of quality. To get one, a beach needs to meet certain criteria that are organised into 4 different blocks:
- Environmental information and education.
- Water quality.
- Environment management
- Safety and services.
The province of Alicante is always at the top of this list guaranteeing the quality of its coast. The secret? Because of the consistent effort from its towns to keep this honour, year after year. Want to discover the beaches that are here in Costa Blanca North? Well, keep reading whilst we add more place to your list to visit this summer!
Costa Blanca North, the blue flag cradle
Let’s start with one of the main fixtures on the list. Cala Moraig, in Benitachell, is one of the most well known beaches year after year and earning a blue flag each time. And of course, 2022 is no exception! Cala Moraig is a paradisical cove in Alicante. Turquoise blue waters flanked by cliffs that dominate this unique setting.
If we follow on to Teulada, there are 3 more beautiful beaches like El Portet, L’Ampolla and Les Platgetes. There’s also another place where you can enjoy a spectacular dip in a more secluded setting like in Cala Fustera. This little corner can be found in Benissa.
The city of Calpe also has several blue flag beaches. As well as enjoying its cuisine, you will also do so if you drop by La Fossa, Cantal Roig or Arenal Bol. If you feel like heading north, you are spoilt for choice. In Denia, there are Les Bovetes, Les Marines, Marineta Casiana, Molins, Les Deveses and Punta Raxet. And in Jávea L’Arenal, La Grava and La Granadella. A visit to the latter is a must, especially: a beautiful paradise of turquoise and emerald tones. A bay of calm waters and incredible transparency.
Another must on your route to blue flag beaches is Altea. The Dome of the Mediterranean keeps its three famous beaches on this list: Cap Blanc, L’Espigó and La Roda.
Here is a small guide to the best beaches in the municipalities of the Costa Blanca North. And, if you feel like exploring further, you can check out all the Blue Flag beaches in Alicante in this article.

Choosing materials for constructing quality housing is a task that takes hours. And also takes a lot of testing. In addition, as concern for the environment is also part of VAPF’s philosophy, we pay special attention to the green areas of the superior quality villas we design. Precisely for this reason, we feel that this article is necessary. So that you know how and why we choose certain materials to achieve quality and more sustainable homes. We will focus on our developments Jazmines, Azure Altea Homes 2 and Racó de Galeno.
The importance of a good foundation
Our villas are built on reinforced concrete pillars and beams with concrete joist floors and vaulted beams. In this way, nothing and no one will be an obstacle in the path to you enjoying your new home. Above all, because the inside of the house is efficient when it comes to its heating and its acoustics.
First impressions…
… matter. We’re aware of how important the image a luxury home must convey to the outside world. The quality that it boasts must be felt from the very first impression. The modern architecture of clean lines in our villas takes shape in the façade cladding with water-repellent cement mortar, which is finished with a coat of paint. As for the villa’s exterior, the metal coplanar hinged entrance gate with a smooth panel and integrated handle welcomes you to the house. A unique shape that invites you to enter and enjoy a high quality villa.
Even so, it’s what’s on the inside…
… that counts. After all, it’s where you will make your life and so it’s where you should feel best. Our villas’ interior makes the difference. You can choose the interior distribution partition walls in ceramic brick and/or a two-sided laminated plasterboard system. We pay special attention to the cladding of interior walls in the home, opting for projected plaster with a smooth finish and a final decorative coat of plastic paint, combined with wood panelling or vinyl wall cladding.
The carpentry inside the house is sure to meet your expectations. Solid board doors, with lacquered or veneered wood finish. Ideal for wardrobes, for storing luggage or other objects that you do not use on a daily basis. In short, we offer space in the form of large wardrobes with interior modules. And which, in turn, are equipped with drawers, dividing shelves, and clothes rail.
In addition, the floor’s thermal insulation in the house provides extra comfort when there’s a drop in temperature, by placing approved insulation boards in the floor slabs.
.
Fully equipped kitchen and bathrooms
Depending on your project, you can choose to change around some details in these rooms, but the bathrooms of our top quality villas are delivered fully equipped. They include wall-mounted toilet, bidet, bathtub and/or extra-shallow shower tray and taps. As well as a tempered glass shower screen, worktop with wall unit, and illuminated mirror.
Not only do the bathrooms come fully equipped, but the kitchen in your future villa is also equipped. With furniture, Silestone worktop, sink, taps, and top brand appliances. From the fridge to the hob, oven, microwave, extractor fan, dishwasher, and washing machine, all of which are Miele (or similar).
And to top it all off: The garden with pool
What would be the point of living in Costa Blanca North if you can’t enjoy it directly in your own home? In VAPF villas, sea views and natural light are the main focus. Not forgetting the outdoor areas and gardens, as important as they are necessary to enjoy the wonderful Mediterranean climate. The swimming pool is where you’ll spend most of your time in spring and summer, which includes an outdoor shower. The garden, with dry stone walls on the borders around the plot, and the possibility of having a barbecue bench complete the leisure area to share with your family and friends.
You can choose our villas in Azure Altea Homes 2, Residencial Jazmines and Racó Galeno. You can choose to live in the most exclusive areas of the Costa Blanca North. And you can also choose to live in a high quality villa with high quality materials and some of the most spectacular views of the Mediterranean.

Science has proved that living by the sea has numerous health benefits. VAPF Group’s properties in the Cumbre del Sol Residential Resort offer the highest standards of comfort and luxury and are just metres away from the beautiful beaches of the Costa Blanca and the Mediterranean Sea.
Here are 10 reasons why living by the sea will make you happier and healthier:
It will relax your body and mind: The human brain reacts positively to what is called “blue space”, which means that we feel more relaxed when we see the sea. Seeing the sea, listening to the waves, and swimming in the water gives our brains a rest and helps us feel more connected with our surroundings. The sound and colour of the waves calms and rejuvenates our body and mind.
Your mood will improve: The iodine in the sea breeze balances our serotonin levels, reducing anxiety and stress. That’s why people who live near the sea show higher levels of happiness.
You will fall asleep more easily: The sea breeze accelerates the body’s ability to absorb oxygen, which helps us rest. Water, sunlight, fresh air, and exercise help our bodies get ready to sleep.
Vitamin D will strengthen your body: Vitamin D is vital, and spending time under the Mediterranean sun will give you the dose you need. Vitamin D helps combat depression and strengthens bones, the immune system, and the digestive system. What’s more, the sunlight will give you healthier hair, nails, and skin.
Your lungs will thank you: The salty sea breeze is rich in iodine and sea salts which clean our lungs, reduce the need for antibiotics, help clear our sinuses, and ease our breathing.
Costa Blanca
It’s good for your heart: People who live in towns by the sea have a healthier heartbeat. This is down to the fact that the air pressure is higher and so the amount of oxygen in the air is also higher.
The sea is a natural healer: Sea salt helps to heal wounds. The iodine in salt is a natural bactericide, which means that acne, cuts, or even internal inflammations will heal faster after a swim in the sea.
It will protect your immune system: The iodine in the sea breeze helps the immune system, so living in areas near the sea will protect you against illnesses and infections.
You will feel the benefits of magnesium: Salt water fills the skin with magnesium, an element which is necessary for muscular function, blood clotting, and the metabolism of nutrients. It also helps to normalise the production of thyroid hormones and aids the absorption of phosphorus, magnesium, and calcium.
The beach is the best gym: Doing exercise on the beach has a positive effect on joints and muscles. Practising sports in the peace and tranquillity of the sea helps the brain to concentrate better and makes the activity more worthwhile. Swimming or diving are good for people who have fluid retention problems and heaviness in the legs; underwater sports are good for reducing and getting rid of varicose veins; and floating in the sea redirects blood from the extremities to the abdominal area and the brain, improving circulation and making people more alert and active.

Without doubt, the many stunning beaches in Cumbre del Sol make this residential resort an irresistible piece of paradise on the Costa Blanca. With coves and beaches nearby offering the clear, turquoise water characteristic of this Mediterranean location, you will be truly spoilt for choice. While all our properties in Cumbre del Sol, such as the Blue Infinity apartments and Lirios Sunrise villas, provide stunning terraces from which to enjoy the panoramic views of the coastline, you will also be perfectly placed for a day spent on the sand.
Of all the beaches in Cumbre del Sol, Cala Moraig is the perfect choice for family time and water sports like snorkelling, kayaking, and scuba diving. Furthermore, as this beach is just a short distance from all of our properties, and is accessible both on foot and by car, it’s an ideal option whether you want a full day on the beach or just a couple of hours relaxing in the best company.
If you prefer exclusivity, other beaches in Cumbre del Sol, such as Cala Llebeig and Cala Testos, are also just a short distance from all of our properties. While these locations are only accessible by boat or along a footpath, which offers them a true sense of privacy, the effort spent reaching them is certainly worth it: the unmatched air of tranquillity on both beaches is something you have to experience for yourself.
Within a distance of less than 20 kilometres/13 miles from our properties, there are two beaches in Cumbre del Sol which seem like something from another world. The first of these, Cala de la Granadella, is a strikingly beautiful beach surrounded by forest, where you can also follow a leisurely route to take in points of interest such as the castle and the Mirador Granadella observation deck. Meanwhile, the crystal-clear water makes this the perfect choice of the beaches in Cumbre del Sol to explore the underwater world.
Cala Ambolo, the second of these beaches, is a truly unique location for rest and relaxation in this area. Take some time out from daily life as you lie back on the white sands and gaze at the stunning views of the horizon, the clear waters, and the Isla del Descubridor located just off the beach.
Whichever of the beaches in Cumbre del Sol suits you, you can rest easy knowing that they are within easy reach of all of our properties here.
