The southern Costa Blanca (or "White Coast" - as the name means), has an average of 320 days a year of sunshine and maintains an average year round temperature of 24°C. According to the
World Health Organisation the area has the "healthiest climate in the world". This is caused by the combination of constant year round warm temperatures and the two huge salt lakes rich in minerals of "Laguna
de la Mata" (now a conservation area) and the "Salina de San Miguel" that surround Torrevieja. The natural salt lakes dry the air, therefore reducing humidity and producing a healthy atmosphere beneficial
for people who suffer with chest problems, arthritis, rheumatism etc. These lakes are also home to a host of wildlife including large flocks of flamingos.
The Villamartin area is located on the Orihuela Costa and is built around one of the most prestigious golf courses in the Spain. It has all the amenities you would expect to find at such a
resort, with panoramic views of the Mediterranean.
For those not interested in golf, the beautiful sandy beaches and the warm waters of the Mediterranean are only ten minutes drive away. The beaches of the Costa Blanca are plentiful and diverse
ranging from isolated coves for secluded sunbathing to vibrant beaches full of life with beach bars and restaurants. Here you will find all kinds of water sports including paragliding, diving, wind surfing,
