Do you really know the southern Costa Blanca?
Most people know the Costa Blanca from the reputation built in the seventies and eighties: tower blocks, English breakfasts and crowded promenades. That picture belongs to the north coast and the big resort towns. South of Alicante the landscape looks entirely different.
This is where you find the salt lakes at La Mata and Torrevieja with flamingos in winter, the palm grove at Elche on the UNESCO World Heritage list, orange and lemon groves inland towards Orihuela, and a coastline of protected coves such as Cala Mosca and Playa Flamenca. The mountain villages of Guadalest and Altea and the wine routes of Jalón lie north as day trips, and between them sit small towns where Spanish is still the everyday language.
The climate is the driest and mildest on the mainland, with more than 320 days of sun a year. Golf courses lie close together, the marinas at Campoamor and Cabo Roig take boats all year, and the healthcare at Torrevieja and Quirónsalud is built for an international community.
At Las Colinas all of this is right outside the gates, five to ten minutes away. Inside, you are in a world apart: sheltered, gated and private.
One of the world's most attractive regions to live in.
Alicante was recently ranked the third best city in the world for expatriates, in the InterNations Expat City Ranking 2024, published by Forbes.
The ranking points to quality of life, reasonable housing costs and good digital infrastructure. The Alicante region runs from the mountains in the north to the salt lakes in the south, and Las Colinas sits in its southern part.
Authentic. Elegant. Close.
Narrow mountain streets in Guadalest, whitewashed elegance in Altea, wine routes in Jalón, marinas at Cabo Roig and quiet coves along the Orihuela coast.
All of it a day trip away, without giving up the quiet you have at home.
Culture that stays with you.
Traces of Phoenicians, Romans and Moors, alongside modern museums, lively festivals and generous public squares.

More than a tourist menu.
The Costa Blanca has more than 15 Michelin restaurants and several D.O. wine regions. Wine, citrus, olives and rice are grown here, and all of it is used locally.
This is not a tourist menu. It is a way of living, and it reflects a region that has grown in depth and quality.
Beaches that exceed expectations.
The southern Costa Blanca has some of Spain's most awarded beaches, all within an hour's drive. Everything from quiet coves to wide stretches of sand.
WOW Beach by Las Colinas is the estate's own beach club at La Glea, ten minutes from the gates.
World-class golf,all year round.
Las Colinas Golf & Country Club is a world-class championship course, consistently rated among the leading courses in Spain, and with more than 320 days of sun a year the season never ends.
Counting the province of Alicante and the region of Murcia together, around fifty courses lie within driving distance. Links running out towards the sea, parkland courses between pine and olive, desert courses in the dry interior and mountain courses with real elevation. The designs differ so much that the game changes character from course to course, and you never tire of playing golf in this region.
The practical side is in place.
The university hospital in Torrevieja and the private Quirónsalud are a short drive away. Pharmacies, supermarkets and banks are in Campoamor and San Miguel de Salinas, a few minutes from the gates.
There are international schools in the area, and English works at the doctor, the bank and the tradesman.
