BLUE INFINITY, CUMBRE DEL SOL — SOUTH-FACING SEA VIEW APARTMENT
€635,000
There is a particular kind of morning you only get up here. You open the terrace doors while the coffee is still brewing and the whole Mediterranean is just there, from the headlands of Jávea round to the Peñón de Ifach at Calpe, the light coming up off the water. Some days you can pick out Ibiza on the horizon. You will find yourself standing there longer than you meant to.
This two-bedroom apartment sits one floor below the penthouse at Blue Infinity, one of the most sought-after addresses in Cumbre del Sol, the cliff-top residential enclave in the municipality of Benitachell (El Poble Nou de Benitatxell), between Moraira and Jávea on the Costa Blanca North. The complex is fully gated. The position is the whole point: elevated, open and south facing, with sun on the terrace from morning through to evening, the Puig de la Llorença massif rising behind and the coves of the Marina Alta below.
Inside, the layout is contemporary and uncomplicated. An open-plan living and dining area runs out to the private terrace, so the view is part of the room rather than something you go and look at. The kitchen is modern and fully equipped, with integrated appliances, generous storage and a breakfast bar for the meals that don’t need a table. Both bedrooms are doubles. The principal has its own en suite, a dressing area and direct terrace access, which means the sea is the first thing you see each morning and the last thing you see at night. A second bathroom serves the guest bedroom, and two further private storage rooms on the same floor take care of everything that would otherwise clutter a coastal apartment: the paddleboards, the winter wardrobe, the golf clubs.
What sets Blue Infinity apart is what sits beyond the front door. There is an outdoor pool for the long summer days and an indoor pool heated all year round for everything in between, alongside a hammam and sauna and a residents’ gym. It is a genuine spa and wellness offering rather than a token facility, and it means the building works as well in February as it does in August. A lift serves the floors, and a covered parking space in front of the building is included, with a further space available as an option and the possibility of installing an electric vehicle charging point.
The other thing worth saying about Cumbre del Sol is the school. Lady Elizabeth School sits within the development itself, a few minutes from the apartment, teaching the British curriculum through to A-level and drawing families from across the Marina Alta. Very few coastal addresses in Spain put one of the region’s leading international schools within a short drive of the front door, and it is a large part of why people here stay year-round rather than seasonally.
Solar panels have been installed to reduce the building’s communal energy costs, which keeps the running of the place sensible as well as comfortable.
It works as a permanent home for a family wanting the school on the doorstep and everything else close to hand, as a low-maintenance base that can be closed up and left without a worry, and as a holiday property in an area with strong year-round rental demand.
A spectacular apartment, with facilities most developments on this coast cannot match and a view that does not need selling.
PROPERTY HIGHLIGHTS
AREA GUIDE: CUMBRE DEL SOL, BENITACHELL
Where is Cumbre del Sol?
Cumbre del Sol is a large cliff-top residential development in the municipality of Benitachell (El Poble Nou de Benitatxell), in the Marina Alta district of Alicante province, on the Costa Blanca North. It sits between Moraira and Jávea, on elevated ground running down to the sea, protected by the Puig de la Llorença massif and bordering the Granadella natural park.
What is Cumbre del Sol known for?
Views and infrastructure. Its elevated position gives some of the most far-reaching sea and coastal panoramas anywhere on the Costa Blanca, taking in the Peñón de Ifach at Calpe and the skyline of Jávea, Moraira, Altea and Benidorm, with Ibiza visible on a clear day. Unlike many hillside urbanisations, it is a fully serviced community in its own right, with shops, restaurants, sports facilities, an international school and medical services on site, alongside scenic footpaths through Mediterranean pine and a coastline of exceptional coves.
What is Benitachell like?
El Poble Nou de Benitatxell is a small inland Valencian village of a few thousand residents, built around agricultural land and moscatel vines, with a quiet town centre, its own supermarkets, bars and weekly rhythm. The municipality stretches from the village down to a dramatic cliff coast, which is where Cumbre del Sol and the coves sit. The combination of a genuine Spanish village and a well-serviced coastal community is a large part of the area’s appeal.
What amenities are nearby?
Within Cumbre del Sol itself there is a shopping area with a supermarket, pharmacy, hairdresser, beauty salons, bars and restaurants, a sports centre with tennis and padel courts, an equestrian centre and the Lady Elizabeth School. Mas y Mas in Benitachell village and a Mercadona within around 5 km cover larger shopping, with Jávea golf course at a similar distance. Moraira town centre and El Portet beach are roughly 7 to 8 km away, and Jávea’s Arenal beach and promenade around 10 km.
How far is Cumbre del Sol from the airport?
Alicante–Elche Airport is approximately one hour and fifteen minutes by car via the AP-7. Valencia Airport is approximately one hour and thirty minutes. High-speed AVE rail connections to Madrid run from both Alicante and Valencia.
Can you fly to the Costa Blanca North from the United States?
Yes. From June 2027, United Airlines will operate three weekly services between Valencia and Newark. Newark is a United hub, giving onward connections across the United States. Air Transat already operates a year-round Valencia–Montreal service.
What towns are close to Benitachell?
Moraira and Jávea are each around fifteen minutes by car. Teulada lies just inland. Calpe, with the Peñón de Ifach, is around twenty-five minutes south, and Dénia roughly half an hour north. Altea and Benidorm are within forty-five minutes.
What is there to do nearby?
Cala del Moraig is the headline attraction, a dramatic pebble cove beneath sheer cliffs, home to the Cova dels Arcs sea cave and some of the best snorkelling and diving on this coast. From there the Ruta dels Acantilados and the Camí de Llebeig run along the cliffs to Cala Llebeig and Cala dels Testos, coves reachable only on foot. Beyond that: padel and tennis at the Cumbre del Sol sports centre, riding at the local equestrian centre, golf at Jávea and Club de Golf Ifach, sailing from Moraira and Jávea marinas, and the vineyards and mountain villages of the Jalón valley inland.
Are there international schools in the area?
Yes. Lady Elizabeth School is located within Cumbre del Sol at its Benitachell campus, a few minutes from the apartment, teaching the British curriculum through to A-level. Having one of the region’s leading international schools inside the development makes the area unusually practical for families. Xàbia International College in Jávea is around twenty minutes away, and local Spanish state schools serve Benitachell and Teulada.
Who buys in Cumbre del Sol?
Cumbre del Sol draws both Spanish purchasers and the established international buyer pool that has long favoured this stretch of the Costa Blanca North. Families are drawn by the school and the on-site services. Second-home owners like that a lock-up-and-leave apartment here needs almost no management. Year-round residents value having shops, restaurants, sport and medical care within the development itself rather than a drive away.
What is the climate like?
The Marina Alta enjoys a mild Mediterranean climate with around 300 days of sunshine a year. Summers are hot and moderated by sea breezes, which are noticeably stronger at this elevation. Winters are mild and bright, with daytime temperatures that regularly allow outdoor living in January, and the indoor pool, heated all year round, along with the hammam and sauna at Blue Infinity, keeps the facilities fully usable through the cooler months.
