This new development project, DON BENITO, presents an exclusive collection of 36 luxury villas in Polop, a charming town in the province of Alicante. The homes, already completed, offer a modern interpretation of the Mediterranean lifestyle. With a focus on space, comfort, and design, the villas are engineered to take full advantage of the local climate and surrounding nature. DON BENITO is situated on the highest plot of Mount Ponoig, offering spectacular views of both the sea and mountains. This project is aimed at buyers seeking a combination of tranquility, nature, and proximity to amenities.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
DON BENITO is located in Polop, an authentic Spanish village inland within the Marina Baixa comarca, Alicante. The location provides a peaceful environment with daily amenities within easy reach, such as a supermarket (1.2 km) and pharmacy (1.8 km). The project benefits from its altitude (549m), offering expansive views and a pleasant climate, while the proximity to Benidorm (approximately 20 minutes) grants access to beaches and urban facilities.
The villas at DON BENITO are designed for those seeking a comfortable and modern living environment in a Mediterranean climate. With 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, the homes offer ample space for families or guests. The layout, featuring a spacious living-dining area, open-plan kitchen, and private outdoor space including a terrace and pool, supports an active lifestyle. Optional solariums provide additional living space and elevated views.
DON BENITO is a completed new construction development, meaning the villas are immediately available. Construction has been carried out with attention to modern architecture and sustainability, resulting in a 'Class A' Energy Efficiency Certification. This indicates high-quality insulation, double glazing, and the integration of renewable energy sources like photovoltaic solar panels and aerothermal systems for hot water.
While DON BENITO offers many advantages, it's important to note that it is an inland development, meaning direct beach access is not immediate (as the crow flies approx. 8.7 km). Public transport is available with 5 lines and 6 stops, but a car is recommended for optimal exploration of the area. Further limitations, such as specific cadastral details or warranties beyond standard construction guarantees, are not detailed in the project information.
DON BENITO is a suitable choice for buyers looking for a new, fully finished villa emphasizing views and tranquility, while still valuing proximity to urban facilities. The project is ideal for those considering a permanent residence and preferring an authentic Spanish environment away from the coastal bustle, yet with convenient access to amenities like international schools (Elian's British School, Den norske skole Costa Blanca). It is also attractive for buyers seeking a holiday home with a high degree of comfort and privacy, who enjoy outdoor living with a private pool and terrace. The immediate availability makes it an option for those wishing to move in the short term or make an investment without a lengthy construction wait.
The DON BENITO villas are characterized by a high standard of finishes and modern technology, achieving a 'Class A' Energy Efficiency Certification. The construction includes thermal and acoustic insulation with increased density in windows (ClimaGuard Premium) and the roof, contributing to a comfortable indoor climate and energy savings. The homes are equipped with automated blinds, underfloor heating in all bathrooms, and pre-installed ducted air conditioning. The master bathroom features a hydromassage column. New materials have been used throughout the interior and exterior, with a thoughtful layout that combines functionality and aesthetics. The installation of photovoltaic solar panels and aerothermal systems for hot water support underlines the focus on sustainability.
The villas within the DON BENITO project are immediately available, with prices ranging from €639,000 to €799,000. This price range reflects variations among the available villas within the development. The indicated prices are 'from' prices and may vary based on specific finishes, plot size, or optional additions such as a solarium. Each villa features 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, with a built area of 129 m² on plots of at least 165 m². The developer offers these luxury homes currently for sale in Polop.
Polop is a picturesque town in the province of Alicante, situated on a hillside with views towards the coast and mountains. The DON BENITO project itself is located on the highest point of the Ponoig mountain, offering spectacular panoramic vistas of the surrounding nature and the distant Mediterranean Sea. Daily life here is characterized by tranquility and a strong connection to nature, while the proximity to Benidorm (approximately a 20-minute drive) ensures access to a wide range of urban amenities, including shopping centers, restaurants, and entertainment venues. The area is ideal for hiking and exploring local culture, with the beaches of Benidorm and Altea within easy reach for leisure activities. The region enjoys a mild climate with an average annual temperature of 16.7°C and approximately 3,855 hours of sunshine per year, allowing for extended periods of outdoor activities.
DON BENITO is situated in Polop, a town that blends an authentic Spanish atmosphere with the advantages of proximity to the Costa Blanca coast. With a population of 3,538 and various local amenities such as restaurants, a pharmacy, and cafes within a 2 km radius, Polop offers a peaceful living environment. The altitude of 549 meters above sea level ensures fresh air and impressive vistas. Key amenities are accessible within 2 km, including a supermarket at 1.2 km and a pharmacy at 1.8 km. The proximity to Benidorm (approx. 20 minutes drive) provides access to larger shopping centers, hospitals, and recreational opportunities, while international schools like Elian's British School and Den norske skole Costa Blanca are within reasonable distance.
This project is located in Polop, a town in the province of Alicante, situated on a hillside offering views towards the coast and mountains. Its inland location provides a quieter pace of life, while the proximity to the coast and larger cities like Benidorm ensures a good balance between tranquility and accessibility to amenities and recreation.
DON BENITO is strategically situated in Polop, a municipality within the Marina Baixa comarca in the province of Alicante. This location places the project in the hinterland of the popular Costa Blanca, a short distance from the vibrant coastal town of Benidorm and the historic city of Altea. While Polop's immediate surroundings offer a quieter, more traditional Spanish life, the dynamism, beaches, and amenities of the coast are accessible within a 20-minute drive. This makes it an ideal base for those wishing to experience the diversity of the Costa Blanca, from mountain landscapes to beaches and cultural centers like Alicante city (approx. 54 km as the crow flies).
Accessibility to DON BENITO is good, with the coastal town of Benidorm and its beaches (such as Platja de la Roda, 8.7 km as the crow flies) approximately a 20-minute drive away. The international airports of Alicante-Elche (approx. 54 km as the crow flies) and Valencia (approx. 94 km as the crow flies) are reachable within approximately 45 minutes and 1.5 hours, respectively. Although the location recommends a car for flexibility, there are 5 public transport lines with 6 stops nearby, offering some connection to surrounding areas. Several golf courses, including Meliá Villaitana (7.1 km), are within a reasonable driving distance.

DON BENITO positions itself in Polop as a premium new development project, distinguished by its location on the highest plot offering panoramic views. Compared to surrounding projects in Polop, such as BAY VIEW POLOP (from €514,400) and RESIDENCIAL POLOP HILLS (from €470,000), DON BENITO presents a higher starting price point, reflecting its completed status, larger plots (minimum 165 m² here versus potentially smaller in cheaper projects), and extensive luxury finishes like Class A energy rating and specific installations such as aerothermal systems. The Ponoig mountain location provides unique views unmatched by many projects in lower-lying Polop. While the lower-priced projects may focus on entry-level homes, DON BENITO targets buyers who value exclusivity, views, and immediate living comfort in a natural setting, while maintaining relatively short distances to Benidorm's amenities.
