At a glance: an 18-hole golf course at its heart · a walkable urbanisation with supermarket, bars, restaurants and a pharmacy · 24-hour security · around 15 to 25 minutes to the beaches of Guardamar and Orihuela Costa · roughly 35 to 40 minutes to Alicante airport · some of the best value golf-side living on the coast.

What Vistabella Golf is

Vistabella Golf, often known by the name of its urbanisation, Entre Naranjos, is an established golf-side residential community set in the countryside of the Orihuela municipality on the Costa Blanca South. Built around its 18-hole course and surrounded by orange and lemon groves, low hills and palm trees, it has grown into one of the most popular and best-value golf urbanisations in the area, with a long-settled, multinational community living there year round.

For a buyer, the appeal is relaxed, affordable golf-side living with everything close at hand. Unlike a purely seasonal resort, Vistabella is a genuine community with its own supermarket, pharmacy, bars, restaurants, shops and a bus route, much of it within walking distance, plus the golf course, clubhouse and sports facilities at its heart. It sits between the traditional Spanish villages of San Miguel de Salinas and Los Montesinos, with the beaches and the larger towns of the coast a short drive away.

Location and getting around

Countryside calm, with the coast, golf and airports all close

Vistabella Golf sits inland in the Orihuela countryside, between San Miguel de Salinas and Los Montesinos, with the coast to the east. The position gives you a quiet, green setting while keeping the sea, the shops and the airports all within easy reach.

The beaches of Guardamar and Orihuela Costa (La Zenia, Campoamor, Cabo Roig and Playa Flamenca) are around 15 to 25 minutes away by car.
Alicante-Elche Airport is roughly 35 to 40 minutes by car, with Murcia (Corvera) Airport under an hour to the south, giving two sets of routes from the UK and Ireland.
San Miguel de Salinas and Los Montesinos are within about 10 minutes for traditional Spanish town amenities, markets and restaurants.
Torrevieja and La Zenia Boulevard are a short drive away for hospitals, major shopping and the seafront, with many more golf courses close by.

For buyers weighing up where to settle, Vistabella offers a middle path: affordable golf-side living in a quiet, green community, with the beach, the villages and the airports all a short hop away. As with most of this area, a car is useful for day-to-day life.

Golf, amenities and resort life

A full 18-hole course with a real community around it

The heart of Vistabella is its 18-hole golf course, designed to be enjoyable for players of all levels, with a driving range, clubhouse, pro shop and a restaurant overlooking the greens. Add paddle tennis and a bowling green, and there is plenty to keep golfers and sporty buyers busy. For variety, some of the best courses on the Costa Blanca South are within a short drive, including Las Colinas, La Finca, La Marquesa, Villamartin, Las Ramblas and Campoamor.

Away from the course, the urbanisation works as a self-contained community. There is a large supermarket, a pharmacy, a convenience store, hairdressers, a gym, and a choice of bars and restaurants, much of it within walking distance, plus communal pools across the residential complexes and 24-hour security across the resort. The surrounding countryside of groves, hills and quiet lanes is ideal for walking and cycling, and with over 300 days of sun a year, outdoor living is the norm.

A quick word on the seasons. Summers are warm, with July and August often around 30°C and the inland setting feeling a touch hotter than the coast. Many buyers prefer spring and autumn, when the days sit in the low to mid twenties and the golf is at its best. Winters are mild, which is why Vistabella is a popular year-round and winter-golf base rather than a purely summer resort.

Lifestyle: who Vistabella Golf suits

For golfers and active buyers

Vistabella is, first and foremost, a golfer’s home, with an 18-hole course, driving range, clubhouse, paddle and bowls on site and many more courses within a short drive. Add the quiet lanes and groves for walking and cycling and the communal pools, and it suits active buyers who want to be outdoors all year at a sensible price.

For retirees and second-home owners

The mild climate, the flat and walkable urbanisation, the on-site amenities and the lock-up-and-leave convenience of a managed community make Vistabella a long-standing favourite for those buying a place in the sun for the long term. There is a large, established international community, English is widely spoken, healthcare is close by in Torrevieja, and there is a genuine year-round social scene.

For value buyers and investors

Vistabella is one of the better-value golf urbanisations on the Costa Blanca South, with apartments in particular offering an affordable way into golf-side living. That value, combined with on-site amenities, 24-hour security and steady golf and holiday demand, supports both lifestyle buyers and investors, though as always rental returns depend on the specific property, season and management.

For families

A safe, low-density community with communal pools, green space and on-site amenities, with the traditional towns of San Miguel and Los Montesinos and international-friendly schooling within easy reach, makes Vistabella an easy and relaxed base for families, with the beaches a short drive away.

What you can buy at Vistabella Golf

Apartments, bungalows, townhouses and villas

Vistabella offers a broad mix of resale and new-build homes across the urbanisation, so the exact choice changes over time. Broadly, buyers can choose from:

Apartments and penthouses. Two and three-bedroom apartments around communal gardens and pools, including ground-floor units with gardens and top-floor homes with private solariums. The most accessible way into the resort, and the strongest value on the urbanisation, popular with golfers and investors.
Bungalows and quads. Low-rise ground and upper bungalows and quad-style homes with gardens or solariums and shared pools, offering more space than an apartment while keeping the easy community lifestyle.
Mid-terrace and corner townhouses with private outdoor space, good for families wanting room to spread out at a sensible price.
Detached villas. Contemporary detached villas with private gardens, optional pools and solariums, open-plan living and modern specifications such as ducted air conditioning. New-build villas are released in phases across the resort.

Because availability spans both established resales and new-build releases, the best way to see what is currently on offer is a live, tailored search, which is exactly what we put together for buyers.

The Vistabella Golf property market

What your money buys, and what really moves the price

Vistabella spans a wide range, from very affordable resale apartments to modern detached villas with pools. The figures below give a sense of the spread currently available. New-build pricing tends to rise with each release, and villa prices vary widely with plot, position and whether a pool is included, so treat these as a guide rather than a fixed list.

From around €100k	€250k bungalow	€230k townhouse	€340k+ villa
Resale apartment	New-build bungalow	2/3-bed resale townhouse	Detached villa, pool

As with any new build or resale, the headline figure is only the start. Floor level, the size of the terrace or solarium, plot size, golf proximity and views, whether a private pool is included, the build age and the community fees can all move the price of two otherwise similar homes by a wide margin. That is exactly the detail we help buyers see clearly before they travel.

A note on buying costs. Vistabella Golf is in the Orihuela municipality, in the Alicante region of the Valencian Community, where resale purchase tax (ITP) is charged on top of the price at 9%, alongside notary, registry and legal fees, while new builds carry IVA (VAT) at 10% and stamp duty (AJD) instead. We always recommend taking advice from a qualified independent Spanish lawyer before you commit, and being especially careful with off-plan contracts. We are happy to introduce you to recommended local solicitors, and the choice of who advises you is always yours.

Why buy at Vistabella Golf

The honest case for and against a golf urbanisation like this

A golf-urbanisation home is a different proposition from a town or beach house, and it is worth weighing both sides:

The appeal	Things to weigh up
Golf, sports and on-site amenities within walking distance	Community fees apply for the upkeep of pools, gardens and security
Some of the best-value golf-side prices on the coast	It is inland, so the beach is a 15 to 25 minute drive rather than a walk
Established, multinational community with 24-hour security	New-build phases can mean off-plan waits and stage payments
Steady year-round and winter-golf rental demand	Quoted rental yields should always be checked against real, current figures

Total acquisition costs on the Costa Blanca generally run around 11 to 15 per cent above the purchase price once tax, notary, registry and legal fees are included. Tax rates and reliefs change, so confirm current figures with your lawyer.

What this means for a buyer. Vistabella is at its best for buyers who want golf, on-site amenities and a settled community at a sensible price, and who are happy to drive fifteen to twenty-five minutes to the beach. If you want to live on the seafront or in the middle of a town, a coastal spot may suit you better. Neither is automatically the right answer, and that is exactly the conversation we are here to have with you. You can compare both live: pre owned at Vistabella Golf and new build at Vistabella Golf.
