Villa in Jazmines, Cumbre del Sol, Costa Blanca North

This four-bedroom villa is being designed from the ground up in Jazmines, the all-luxury enclave within Cumbre del Sol, between Jávea and Moraira on the Costa Blanca North — a zone where every plot looks out to sea and no standard-grade product exists. With 270 m2 of interior living space, 144 m2 of terrace and a private infinity pool on an 870 m2 plot, this is a home conceived for people who want the full Mediterranean life, built precisely to their standard.

PROPERTY OVERVIEW AND VIEW ANALYSIS

This villa in Jazmines, Cumbre del Sol, sits on an 870 m2 plot with southwest orientation and uninterrupted sea views — a setting that rewards both full-time living and the kind of long, slow seasons that make the Costa Blanca North so compelling.

The official built area registered for the property is 525 m2. That figure covers 270 m2 of interior living area, 144 m2 of open terrace, 57 m2 of covered terrace, 48 m2 of garage and 6 m2 of storage and technical room. The 870 m2 plot is separate and is not included in that total.

The southwest orientation frames a panorama that, from this part of Jazmines, opens across the Sierra de Bernia and the valley. The 180-degree Mediterranean arc that Jazmines as a whole commands — with landmarks including Ibiza, the Peñón de Ifach and Moraira visible from various plots across the zone — gives a sense of what life on this terrace genuinely feels like. Every plot in Jazmines has sea views: that is a defining characteristic of the zone, not a variable.

INTERNAL DISTRIBUTION AND LIVEABILITY

This is a home that works as well for a permanent residence as for an extended seasonal base — the scale, the specification and the three-floor layout are generous enough for a family and considered enough for a couple who want the option to host well.

The distribution unfolds across three levels:

1. Main floor: The day zone is conceived as a single open, flowing composition — living room, dining area and kitchen with a large central island reading as one continuous space. The entire front of this floor opens to a panoramic terrace and the private infinity pool with its organic form. A built-in barbecue with worktop, sink and fitted base units completes the outdoor kitchen area, and an exterior shower serves the pool terrace directly.
2. Upper floor: The night zone occupies this level entirely. Three bedrooms, all of generous proportions, each with its own en-suite bathroom and direct access to the terrace. The principal suite faces the Mediterranean with open views. The covered garage — with space for two vehicles — is also located on this floor.
3. Lower floor: A large open-plan space with its own exterior terrace, adaptable to whatever the household needs: an additional bedroom or guest apartment, a wellness area, a home gym, a cinema room or a studio.

The fourth bedroom is the adaptable space on the lower floor; the specification accommodates it fully with its own exterior terrace access.

Throughout the interior, the specification is genuinely high-end. Flooring is large-format porcelain stoneware in the living areas and terraces, with the option of parquet in the principal suite. Ceilings are continuous plasterboard with recessed LED technical lighting. Interior doors run floor to ceiling, solid-core, lacquered or wood-veneered, with concealed hinges. Built-in wardrobes and dressing rooms are fitted to measure with full module, drawer and shelf configurations.

The kitchen is equipped with a Silestone worktop, Miele appliances and a water softener. Bathrooms carry Hansgrohe brassware, wall-hung sanitaryware, full-height tempered glass screens and illuminated vanity mirrors.

The climate system covers the whole home: underfloor heating by water via aerothermal heat pump runs through every room, and ducted air conditioning with Airzone thermostat zoning handles cooling and supplementary heating independently. A Mitsubishi Electric heat-recovery mechanical ventilation unit ensures continuous fresh air without energy waste.

The home automation system includes two control iPads and a smart speaker. Security is handled by a hardwired alarm with video verification and a video intercom with mobile forwarding. The electrical installation runs at 15 kW, a 5.5 kW photovoltaic array is included, and an electric vehicle charging point is fitted in the garage. A fireplace is specified as part of the project. Glass balustrades on all terraces are frameless extra-clear glazing.

The exterior boundary uses natural dry-stone walls — a defining feature of every villa in Jazmines — and the garden is laid out with terraced beds, automatic irrigation and a perimeter of dry-stone retaining walls.

TECHNICAL EFFICIENCY AND CONSERVATION

This is a new build currently at project stage, so no energy performance certificate is available yet; it will form part of the documentation provided as the project advances.

What the technical specification does make plain is that the energy approach is serious. The aerothermal heat pump feeds the underfloor heating and can also provide domestic hot water efficiently. The ducted air conditioning is zoned room by room via Airzone thermostats, so conditioning only what is occupied is straightforward. The 5.5 kW photovoltaic installation offsets part of the home's electricity consumption directly. The mechanical ventilation system with heat recovery conditions incoming air without discarding the thermal energy already inside the building.

The building envelope uses mineral-wool insulation in the external walls, finished with hydrophobic render, natural stone and large-format ceramic cladding. Interior partitions include acoustic insulation. High-performance aluminium window and door frames — Technal or Schüco specification — are thermally broken and fitted with double Climalit low-emissivity solar-control glazing throughout.

This combination — passive envelope quality, active aerothermal conditioning, photovoltaic generation and heat-recovery ventilation — is what the technical file supports. The energy certificate will confirm the rating in due course.

LOCATION AND NEIGHBOURHOOD REALITY

Jazmines sits at the southern entrance to Cumbre del Sol, and living here means waking up in a zone of independent luxury villas — no apartment blocks, no semi-detached rows — where the streets carry only residents and their visitors.

The Lady Elizabeth international school is 2.4 km by road, within Cumbre del Sol itself, which matters considerably for families relocating full-time. For daily shopping, the CC Lirios commercial centre is 1.8 km away and CC Adelfas is 3.4 km; the Mercadona supermarket is 3 km by road. The town centre of Benitachell is 4.7 km.

Of all the zones within Cumbre del Sol, Jazmines is the closest to Moraira — 6.6 km by road — which makes the town's restaurants, marina and weekly market a practical part of weekly life rather than an occasional outing. Jávea is 12.7 km.

For the coast, Cala Llebeig is 3 km and Cala del Moraig is 4.7 km. The golf course is 6.6 km and the yacht club 6.9 km. The reference hospital is 22.4 km and Alicante airport 97 km.

A car is a functional necessity for daily life here — the distances involved make that plain — and parking throughout Cumbre del Sol is plentiful, including at the height of summer.

ACQUISITION COSTS AND LEGAL GUARANTEES

Buying a new build in the Valencian Community is a well-structured process, and understanding the cost framework from the outset means there are no surprises when the notary date approaches.

For a new build, the applicable taxes are 10% VAT (IVA) on the purchase price and 1.4% Stamp Duty (AJD, Actos Jurídicos Documentados) — not the resale Property Transfer Tax. On top of those, budget approximately 2–3% more for notary fees, land registry inscription and independent legal representation; at higher price levels, that share typically sits at the lower end of the range. In total, acquisition costs for a new build in this region typically run to around 13.4–14.4% above the agreed price. Your independent lawyer will itemise the exact figure against the price you agree, with no hidden charges.

Spanish law requires the developer to guarantee any stage payments made before delivery through a bank guarantee or insurance policy in the buyer's favour, and to receive those funds into a separate dedicated account. That obligation arises once the building licence is granted. Your independent lawyer verifies compliance with this framework — along with land registry status, planning conformity and all licence documentation — before any funds are released.

Working with a registered agent enrolled in the RAICV (Registro de Agentes de Intermediación Inmobiliaria de la Comunidad Valenciana) adds a further layer of protection: mandatory civil liability insurance and a surety bond covering any client funds held during the transaction are legal requirements for registered agents, not optional extras.

COMMON QUESTIONS FROM INTERNATIONAL BUYERS

What does the official built area of 525 m2 actually include?

The 525 m2 figure is the total registered built area for this villa and covers 270 m2 of interior living space, 144 m2 of open terrace, 57 m2 of covered terrace, 48 m2 of garage and 6 m2 of storage and technical room. The 870 m2 plot is separate and is not included in that total. Each of those surfaces is an independent figure; none is contained within another.

As a non-Spanish buyer, what identification do I need before I can sign?

Any non-Spanish citizen buying property in Spain must obtain an NIE — Número de Identificación de Extranjero — before signing the title deed or registering the purchase. It is also required to open a Spanish bank account and contract utilities. You can apply through a Spanish consulate in your home country, at a designated police station in Spain, or through a legal representative acting under a power of attorney. Your independent lawyer will advise on the most practical route given your situation.

What protection do I have if I am paying in stages before the villa is completed?

Spanish law requires the developer to guarantee every stage payment made prior to delivery through a bank guarantee or an insurance policy issued in the buyer's name, with funds held in a dedicated separate account. If construction is not completed, those amounts — including taxes and statutory interest — must be refunded within thirty days; if the developer does not act, the claim falls to the guarantor. Your independent lawyer confirms that these guarantees are properly in place before you release any funds. This is one of the key items the legal due-diligence process covers.
