Bonalba is
a modern development with residential communities
flanking the lush 72-hole golf course designed by Ramón
Espinosa. Much of the accommodation has panoramic views
across the golf course towards the Mediterranean sea or
spectacular views of the rugged mountain ranges which
dominate the landscape behind the development.
Whether you
are looking to buy or rent a permanent or holiday
property, Bonalba offers an enviable mixture of property
types; from studio apartments and town houses right
through to luxury villas overlooking the golf course.
One of the
most striking features of Bonalba are the brightly
coloured properties; painted in a variety of
Mediterranean hues, the distinct colours are carefully
chosen to reflect the traditional painted houses found
just twenty minutes north in the town of Villajoyosa.
Take any of
the roads which meander down to the sea-front in
Villajoyosa and before long you will come across the
brightly coloured fishermen’s houses. According to local
historians, the houses were traditionally painted in
bright colours to enable the fishermen to recognise
their houses whilst out at sea.
Another of
Bonalba’s features is, of course, the golf course.
Immediately attractive to golfers of all abilities, the
wide swathes of green, lush vegetation, lakes and trees
are also attractive to non-golfers who appreciate the
beauty and tranquillity of this oasis in an otherwise
arid part of Spain. In short, Bonalba offers the best of
both worlds; a beautiful green landscape in an area of
Spain which typically enjoys 320 days of sunshine per
year.
In addition
to golf, Bonalba has many excellent sports and leisure
facilities, including; a tropical water park, spa,
gymnasium, crèche, tennis courts, pitch & putt, bowling
green, restaurants and shops. Add to this the fact that
the long sandy beaches of El Campello and San Juan are
just a few minutes drive away by car and you have an
idyllic location for enjoying a holiday or for permanent
living.

all levels; green and fairways are wide and due to a

clubs in their bag! The first nine holes are quite
distinct from the last nine holes and the course
contains a number of water hazards and strategically
placed bunkers to challenge both amateurs and
professionals.
