Santa Pola Life Resort - Luxury retirement resort in Alicante, Spain

"Santa Pola Life Resort is the beginning of a new way of life for people over 55 years old, offering one-storey bungalows and two-storey apartments equipped with the very latest domotic installations, landscape gardens, communal recreational areas and 24-hour security and surveillance, explains Miguel Martinez, the UK country manager of Bancaja Habitat - a national and international real estate development group.

"The philosophy behind Santa Pola Life Resort is to provide people over 55 with all the necessary resources to enjoy their lives happily and to the full. Values such as well-being, quality of life, independence, leisure, safety and investment are the key focus points of this resort."

The development, located in the town of Santa Pola in the Mediterranean coastal province of Alicante, is just 7km from Alicante International Airport, 12km from the capital of Alicante, 5km from the AP7 motorway, 1.8km from a future golf club with two 18 hole golf courses, and only 500m from the sea.

The resort boasts a wide variety of facilities, including a social and leisure club, private bar, library, meeting rooms, theatre, dance hall, business centre, restaurants, shops, supermarket and medical centre. The onsite spa and fitness centre is well-equipped to offer a whole host of services and activities, including massages, anti-stress cures, circulatory treatments, aqua-gym, dance classes, yoga, and much more.

The development's comprehensive range of welfare services include a dental practice; physiotherapy treatments; preventative treatment plans; the follow up of medical histories; dietetics practice; and a 24-hour emergency service.

"Santa Pola Life Resort has purposefully been designed as a place where residents will be able to live their personal and private lives as they would do normally, with the added opportunity to practice sports and many more leisure, social and cultural activities, in a truly wonderful Mediterranean coastal setting," says Mr. Martinez.

"The Costa Blanca is the perfect location for exactly what this resort stands for - a healthy and enjoyable lifestyle. According to the World Health Organisation, Spain has the seventh best sanitary system in the world. They also identify the Costa Blanca as one of the best areas to retire, due to the Mediterranean diet and good weather conditions. It is not a coincidence that Alicante is the Spanish province where there is the largest number of foreign retired people living permanently."

The Costa Blanca enjoys average temperatures of 20° C and 300 days of sunshine a year. Local monuments and places of interest include Santa Barbara Castle, San Fernando Castle, Casa de la Asegurada, Casa Alberola, Santa María church, San Nicolas de Bari cathedral and the Santa Faz monastery in San Juan de Alicante.

The region's beaches include San Juan, Almadraba, Albufereta, Cocó beach, Postiguet and Saladar (Alicante), Moraira coves, l'Olla beach (Altea), Levante and Poniente beach (Benidorm), Elche beaches, Santa Pola beaches; Torrevieja beaches; Dénia beaches and Arenal beach (Jávea).

Aside from being a lifestyle choice for retirees, Santa Pola Life Resort is also said to be an excellent investment opportunity.

"The properties are great value for money and, from an investment point of view; the properties hold the same advantages as any other conventional real estate product since they are transferable (by assignment, legacy or donation), and can be financed with a mortgage," explains Mr. Martinez.

"If a younger titleholder wishes to use the property for rental purposes, the management of the resort will offer an estate agency dedicated exclusively for rentals. This rental management service is absolutely free and could be done at the price the owner considers appropriate, provided that the person who is going to use the property fulfils the requirements demanded to live in Santa Pola Life Resort."
