Distances
This penthouse in Montecala Gardens brings together a southeast-facing layout, a high-specification comfort package and direct access to the natural setting that makes this corner of Cumbre del Sol so distinctive. Sitting within easy reach of Cala Llebeig and the protected coastline near Moraira, it is a home designed for people who want modern living without sacrificing the warmth of the Mediterranean around them.
PROPERTY OVERVIEW AND VIEW ANALYSIS
This new build penthouse apartment in Montecala Gardens, Cumbre del Sol, offers 82.9 m² of interior living space with a southeast orientation and open views over the protected natural landscape adjoining the development.
The home carries a total built area of 157.65 m² as officially recorded. Its private outdoor space comprises a 20.35 m² terrace and a 9 m² covered terrace, both accessed directly from the living areas. A further 45.4 m² are recorded as communal area: these are the shared spaces of the residential complex — circulation, landscaped areas and collective facilities — and form no part of the home's private space.
The southeast orientation means the main living spaces receive the morning light and benefit from natural warmth through the cooler months. The outlook is open and uninterrupted, over the protected scrubland and coastal cliffs that border the development around Cala Llebeig and the Portet de Moraira special protection area. It is a setting that rewards quiet mornings with changing light and genuine stillness.
The development sits within the wider Palmeras area of Cumbre del Sol, between Jávea and Moraira on Costa Blanca North, and is currently at project stage.
INTERNAL DISTRIBUTION AND LIVEABILITY
A penthouse changes the way you experience an apartment, and this one is arranged to make the most of it. The living spaces open directly onto both the 20.35 m² open terrace and the 9 m² covered terrace, so the boundary between inside and outside dissolves in a way that feels considered rather than incidental.
The apartment offers two bedrooms and two bathrooms across its 82.9 m² of interior living space:
- The main bedroom has a walk-in wardrobe and its own private bathroom en suite.
- The second bedroom is served by the second bathroom.
- The open-plan kitchen is integrated into the living area.
- Both bedrooms give direct access to the terrace, as does the living room.
The specification throughout reflects a genuinely high standard. Underfloor heating covers the whole home, fed by an aerothermal system that also handles domestic hot water. Ducted air conditioning runs to every room. Continuous mechanical ventilation maintains consistent indoor air quality throughout the year. A security entrance door and alarm system are included. Every material and fitting has been selected to sit at the higher end of the market.
The building also incorporates a photovoltaic installation for the common elements, with any energy surplus distributed to individual homes — a meaningful contribution to running costs. A communal electric vehicle charging point and a lift are included in the building, supporting a more considered approach to daily life.
The development's communal areas include a lagoon-style pool, a second pool that operates year-round, extensive sunbathing areas, terraces, gardens and a social club — all part of what Montecala Gardens offers its residents as shared amenity.
The apartment is delivered unfurnished.
TECHNICAL EFFICIENCY AND CONSERVATION
This is a new build property currently at project stage, so no energy performance certificate has been issued yet. The certificate will be provided as part of the handover documentation once the building is complete. No rating is stated or implied at this stage.
What the technical specification does confirm is a comfort and efficiency package that goes well beyond a standard finish. Aerothermal technology drives both the underfloor heating and the domestic hot water system, substantially reducing energy demand compared with conventional resistive or gas-based solutions. Ducted air conditioning covers the full apartment. Continuous mechanical ventilation — not simply an extractor — means the indoor environment is actively managed regardless of the season. The photovoltaic installation on the common elements further reduces the collective energy load, with surplus shared across the individual homes.
The combination of these systems means running costs are addressed at the design stage rather than retrofitted later — a distinction worth noting when comparing properties in this market.
Spanish law gives the buyer of a new build home three statutory guarantee periods running from formal handover: one year covering finish defects, three years covering building elements and installations affecting habitability, and ten years covering structural defects, backed by a compulsory insurance policy. The independent lawyer verifies that all guarantees and documentation are in place before any funds are transferred.
LOCATION AND NEIGHBOURHOOD REALITY
Living in Montecala Gardens means waking up on the edge of one of the most protected natural stretches of Costa Blanca North — and still being within a short drive of everything that makes day-to-day life comfortable.
The immediate setting borders the special protection area around Cala Llebeig and the Portet de Moraira, giving the development a quality of quiet and natural light that no urban location can replicate. The residential character of the area is calm, with a mix of full-time residents and those using the home as a primary base across the longer seasons.

- 1 km: Cala Llebeig and CC Lirios shopping centre

A car is a functional necessity for living in Cumbre del Sol: the urbanisation covers an extensive elevated area and the distances above make that clear. Parking is plentiful throughout Cumbre del Sol, and the streets around the development offer free, unrestricted on-street parking.
ACQUISITION COSTS AND LEGAL GUARANTEES
Buying in Spain carries a defined set of additional costs, and knowing them in advance is the clearest way to plan without surprises.
This is a new build purchase, which means the applicable taxes are VAT (IVA) at 10% of the purchase price, plus Stamp Duty (AJD) at 1.4%. These replace the transfer tax that applies to resale property. On top of these taxes, buyers should budget an additional 2–3% to cover notary fees, land registry inscription and independent legal representation.
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 designated account. This obligation is set out in the Spanish Building Act and applies once the building licence is granted. The independent lawyer verifies that the guarantees are properly in place before any funds leave the buyer's account.
The registered agent (RAICV) operates with mandatory Civil Liability Insurance and a Surety Bond covering any client funds held during the transaction, in full compliance with Valencian Community consumer-protection law. Working within this regulated framework means the process is transparent and accountable at every stage. The independent lawyer will itemise the exact total cost against the agreed price, with nothing left unexplained.
COMMON QUESTIONS FROM INTERNATIONAL BUYERS
What protects the money I pay before the home is delivered?
Spanish law requires the developer to secure all stage payments made before delivery through a bank guarantee or insurance policy in the buyer's name, and to hold those funds in a separate designated account. The independent lawyer's role — before any money is transferred — is to verify that these guarantees are properly established for this development, so the buyer has a direct claim against the guarantor if construction is not completed.
Do I need a Spanish tax number to buy this apartment in Cumbre del Sol?
Every non-Spanish buyer purchasing property in Spain requires an NIE (Número de Identificación de Extranjero), the mandatory tax identification number needed to sign the title deed, register the property and open a Spanish bank account. It can be obtained through a Spanish consulate abroad, at a designated police station in Spain, or through a legal representative acting under a power of attorney. The independent lawyer coordinates this as part of the purchase process.
Does this apartment have sea views?
This apartment's outlook is open over the protected natural area around Cala Llebeig and the Portet de Moraira. The southeast orientation brings morning light into the living spaces, and the setting directly adjoins one of the most carefully preserved coastal landscapes on Costa Blanca North.
