Living in a place with sea views is one thing and living in Villa Ikaria is quite another. It means that added special light that only the Mediterranean sun can provide. It means that every day you get up knowing that the light that charmed the painter Sorolla will fill your home. Why not come with us and learn more about this fabulous house?
But first, just exactly where is Villa Ikaria ? It is located in a special place with views of the Mediterranean yet it is also close to the mountain sierras. We are talking about somewhere in an extraordinary setting known as Residential Resort Cumbre del Sol in Benitatxell. This place is halfway between the cities of Valencia and Alicante. It lies in the region known as Costa Blanca Norte. This area is renowned for its beautiful green spaces and close by this development there are some important restaurants that boast Michelin stars. It is unquestionably a place for making the most of life’s pleasures, both big and small. And doing so knowing that you are in one of the places with the best climate for lovers of the outdoor life!
So what is Villa Ikaria like? It is built on two floors and designed to make the most of natural light. It is located in one of the areas of Spain that enjoys the most hours of annual sunshine. It has been shown that daily exposure to the sun for a minimum amount of time will increase happiness and wellbeing. Therefore our architects were clear that filling the villa with light would be a key element of its construction.
Entry to the villa is directly through the porch which also has access to the parking area. There are three bedrooms and two bathrooms with an en suite in the master bedroom. This bathroom also has a huge window that means even here you can enjoy the sea views as elsewhere in the house.
Villa Ikaria is designed so that the sitting/dining room and the kitchen open out onto a spectacular terrace. With its huge expanse of picture windows you can enjoy the best of a terrace this size at any time of the year. Even those rare days when the sky is cloudy! The outdoor area is also striking with its large infinity pool. It has been designed so that it merges with the horizon, blending with the azure blue of the sea.
The home also boasts an extensive basement area which can be put to all kinds of uses. From adding another bedroom, to making it into a guest apartment, or perhaps a home cinema. Each person can choose what they wish to do with this area of their home!
At VAPF we are clear about how important it is to feel at ease in your own home and this is why we have designed this, and the other villas too, with you in mind. Creating a place that can become your home and where every day you will wake up knowing that you are living in your dream villa.
If you like the idea of creating new memories in the Costa Blanca Norte and having the world as your oyster, then Villa Ikaria is just right for you. It combines beauty and practical living to perfection.

At VAPF we always endeavour to ensure that the design and construction of our villa and apartment developments in Costa Blanca Norte maximise energy efficiency, and reduce as far as possible any environmental impact. Many aspects need to be considered to ensure an efficient home such as insulation, windows, lighting and also water use. This can lead to a reduction in energy consumption between 70 % and 90% compared to a conventional home. Thanks to our work, many of our developments are certified with energy qualification A which is currently the highest category available.
However, before looking further at some of the things that make your home more efficient, what are the advantages?
- Protecting the environment.
- Reduction in consumption.
- Financial savings.
- Electricity independence.
- Better air quality.
- Comfort and convenience
Insulation: the basic pillar.
Insulation is a key factor in ensuring energy efficiency in a home. Good thermal insulation helps to maintain the constant temperature in a house. It helps to keep the temperature at the required level inside the home, which means that it will use less heating energy in winter and air conditioning in summer.
The villas in our Cumbre del Sol development have a thermally insulated roof made of extruded polystyrene panels laid on an impermeable sheet of EPDM type rubber. The flooring is also thermally insulated with certified panels on floor slabs, covered with a layer of self-levelling concrete prior to laying the floor covering.
The windows in our projects also play an important role in energy efficiency. They provide excellent thermal and acoustic efficiency, as well as reducing heat transfer between the inside and outside of the house.
Lighting
We always recommend using LED lights which are more efficient and long lasting than conventional lighting. In addition, it is important to make the most of natural light, something that is not difficult in our homes as they all boast an outward looking architecture and open plan layout, and you will always enjoy direct or indirect light from outside.
Water and air conditioning
The use of water is also an important factor to consider. It’s possible to save water and energy by installing low consumption taps and showers, and toilets with double flush system which you can choose when you are selecting the personal fixtures and fittings of your villa.
The latest ECODAN Hybrid aerothermal system is available in the most recent VAPF villas and apartments. It is the most efficient way to heat and cool your home. This is based on just one external unit which will supply all your heating, air conditioning and hot water needs all year round, with the special feature of a heat recovery system that produces hot water simultaneous to use of the air conditioning.
At VAPF we are convinced that with the right approach it is possible to build more efficient and sustainable homes for future generations, and we will continue in our efforts to achieve this goal. We hope that you will be looking forward to our next blog post, but in the meantime you fan follow us on Facebook and Instagram so that you don’t miss out on anything new in our upcoming projects.

Enjoying views of both the sea and the surrounding countryside of the Costa Blanca Norte is one of the main attractions of Villa Índigo. A house with a garden and a private pool, and a layout that comprises three floors with 3 bedrooms, each with access to a terrace. In short, you have the utter luxury of waking, walking out onto the terrace and breathing in fresh pure air and beginning your day looking at the Mediterranean and the garden, which is perfectly adapted to the landscape and the building design, to which is added, to top it all off, an impressive infinity pool. Would you like to hear more?
Optimal and functional distribution
The 425 square metres of Villa Índigo are distributed over three floors. Access to the villa is through the top floor where there is a parking area for vehicles and a lift that connects the floors of the home. On the second floor, the villa’s 3 bedrooms are located (there is also a guest suite with private terrace on the ground floor). All the rooms have access to the terrace and therefore all have fabulous views from the villa. Unquestionably, the mere fact of waking up every morning will become a whole visual and sensory experience as you breathe in the fresh air and gaze out onto the Costa Blanca Norte.
Natural light all year round
VAPF projects are characterised by architecture that looks outwards to make the most of the hours of daylight and the 300 days of sunshine enjoyed on the Costa Blanca Norte. This openness to the outdoors takes shape on the ground floor of the home. This consists of a spacious living area, filled with light and leading to an open plan kitchen and outdoor zone which makes this room the heart of the home and the main living space. The interior layout has prioritised the breadth and functionality of the rooms, incorporating elements such as the kitchen sliding door and the overhanging section of the sitting/dining room which conveys the sensation of being suspended in the air looking out to sea.
An outdoor area to be enjoyed
Villa Índigo has been designed as the connection of several modules that all look outwards. In this way, the terrace and the bathing area become a central component of the home. The main façade is composed of glass panels, which provide continuity between the indoor area and the outside. The garden, which is adapted to the landscape, and the huge terrace with its infinity pool that merges with the sea, are the most striking elements of the villa.
With its own style, marked contemporary design, unique location and fantastic views of the sea, what else do you need to make Villa Índigo your new home? In our upcoming blog posts and in our Facebook and Instagram profiles, we’ll tell you more about our future projects on the Costa Blanca Norte.

Individual care, experience, guarantee and service. These 4 features have been the pillars of our mission for the last 60 years and they take shape and are evident in all the projects that at VAPF we have developed in Costa Blanca Norte. In this blog post we tell you about the developments that have proved most popular with our clients. Some of them have purchased units that will be ready to move into in 2023. Keep reading and find the home that you have always dreamed of!
Apartments: Montecala Gardens and Golf Suites La Sella
Designer apartments, with views of the Mediterranean, equipped with top brands and with impressive communal zones with outdoor pools and wellness areas, with a heated pool, jacuzzi and sauna in two exclusive locations: Cumbre del Sol and La Sella.
Golf Suites La Sella is in an exclusive part of the Costa Blanca Norte: right next to the Montgó Nature Reserve, and yet just 15 minutes from the centre of Denia.
Added to this select location are the residential development’s services, designed to encourage a healthy lifestyle with sport as the main driver, namely golf, tennis, padel, horse riding and hiking.
Architecturally, the external appearance of Golf Suites La Sella is characterised by the way the volumes are designed, ensuring privacy between the terraces with integrated planters that merge with the surroundings. Inside, the apartments have 3 bedrooms, each with access to a terrace so that you can enjoy life on the Costa Blanca Norte, and an open plan kitchen that leads into the sitting/dining room which extends towards the porch area of the terrace.
In short, one of our top developments, and with a third phase underway following the success of the two previous projects.
Montecala Gardens is another apartment development. This time, in Cumbre del Sol, Benitachell. Their success is due to the fact that all the apartments have a layout designed to make the most of the space, taking advantage of the Mediterranean light and offering added comfort for our daily life. They have 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, an open plan kitchen leading into the sitting/dining room and terrace or garden, depending on the type of model.
There are also extensive communal zones designed with relaxing and enjoying family life in mind: pools, terraces, play area, social club… And also this is all just a few minutes from some of the best beaches in the area such as Cala Llebeig.
Luxury Villas in Altea and Cumbre del Sol
Our villas in Costa Blanca Norte merit special mention. At Cumbre del Sol you will find Residencial Jazmines, one of our most successful villa developments. With its contemporary architecture, this development of luxury villas has stunning views of the Mediterranean. Each home is an absolute work of art, with privacy as an important feature. And they are specially designed with every luxurious detail to ensure that you can enjoy the main attractions of the area, namely, the sea and the mountains. And above all, the sunshine, something that is never lacking on the Costa Blanca. You can see all the villa developments available on our website, each one totally tailored to suit your requirements, and you can even book a visit to Villa Veleta, the showhouse available for viewing in this development. The house is completed and has been fully fitted out and furnished, so that you see what we are talking about at first hand.
Azure Altea Homes 2 is one of our villa developments in Altea. Cosy and comfortable homes, built in contemporary style, light and airy with spacious rooms and outdoor areas, all of which you can design to your own requirements and taste. The roomy areas of the villa communicate with the outside areas and terraces through large picture windows and sliding glass curtains that seem to merge the interior with the outdoors. In 2023 some of these villa developments will be complete and will be available, such as Villa Plenum, which we talked about a few months ago in this article.
Delightful and ideal locations, together with spectacular little coves and beaches. Those are some of our most popular developments. Follow our activity on Facebook and Instagram, as well as our upcoming blog posts so that you can keep up with all our news.
