Los Dolses

An Area Guide to Los Dolses

Mid-way between Villamartin and La Zenia is the beautiful area of Los Dolses in Orihuela Costa. Centrally located, Los Dolses is ideally situated within just a few minutes of the beautiful Costa Blanca beaches, yet central to both the extensive shopping and leisure facilities of La Zenia (including the famous La Zenia Boulevard) and the buzzing atmosphere and busy entertainment hub of Villamartin.

Things to Do in Los Dolses

For the more active visitor, three of the local golf courses are all within a kilometre – Golf de Campoamor, Villamartin Golf and Las Ramblas – and offer a wonderful test for golfers of all abilities. Six kilometres of cycle tracks connect the area with the beachfront promenade, offering a guilt free way to explore the Mediterranean coastline…and the bars along the way! Local entertainment can primarily be found in the vicinity of the two commercial centres – the self-named ‘Los Dolses’ and the ‘Rioja’ where there are plentiful cafés, bars and restaurants catering for every taste and palate.

Properties in Los Dolses

Aesthetically, the established property development in the area is more traditional in style with a Mediterranean look and feel, comprising a well-balanced mix of large detached villas, characterful townhouses and spacious apartments.

That said, over the last few years a collection of beautiful new-build developments have sprung up in the area, adding a new vibrancy and contemporary feel, contrasting and complementing the existing residential urbanisations. These new-build developments range from apartment complexes boasting indoor and outdoor heated pools, gymnasiums and large landscaped gardens with sports areas, modern townhouses often benefitting from large underbuilds and private solariums to exclusive detached and semi-detached villas, many of which come with private pools. The area is home to a largely ex-pat community and often attracts a more upmarket clientele with a luxury property waiting for almost every budget.

Weather in Los Dolses

Blessed with a climate that the World Health Organisation declare to be one of the very healthiest in the world, the area is noted as having ‘as near perfect an environment as it is possible to obtain’ – high praise indeed! Year-round sunshine and low humidity are a perfect combination and with the Costa Blanca enjoying an average annual temperature of 19o, highs of 40o+ and more than 3000 hours of sunshine over 320+ days, few other regions can compete. Water temperatures average 25o even in the autumn meaning you can take a dip in the Med well into late October whilst daytime temperatures often still reach well into the 20’s throughout December making this the perfect spot to escape the British winter!

Testimonials

Marie & Jimmy

The service we received from Home Overseas was first class, everything explained step by step in layman’s terms by friendly well informed staff from beginning to end by Jayne and Matt.

We were selling and purchasing so it was an intricate time for us everything had to be timed with military precision. We felt reassured by the professionalism and genuine care the company offered: Matt dealt with everything from Notary visits and solicitors appointments, making way for the fun part “searching for a property” – we explained what was on our wish list – what we could compromise on and our budget.

Matt put together two full days of viewing without any pressure or stress filled sales talk, and always with a smile.

When we found our forever property we were both touched that Matt was totally genuinely pleased for us. It is clear Matt and Jayne work very hard to match people up with their dream properties- the difference Home Overseas offer than other companies we have dealt with is, they work in an upbeat personal manner, in no way making you feel they are trying to get “the deal”.

Matt Austin delivered our dream with great enthusiasm, professionalism, knowledge and understanding. We not only found a great property but a friend for life.

We would sincerely recommend “Home Overseas” Matt and Jayne to any potential buyer

The best experience we had by far when we purchased our holiday home in Cabo Roig.

We didn’t know where to start and what to look for, we originally went with another estate agent in Spain what turned out to be the worst decision of our search for a property abroad. Just as we were leaving Malaga airport we found Homes-Overseas, we rang them and spoke to Jane who was very helpful. Within a few weeks we were back out in Spain and we met up with Matt.

Matt showed us a load of properties and told us what the area had in terms of shops, beaches, restaurants etc what we weren’t given before or aware of. We were picked up, dropped off and shown whatever we wanted to see with nothing being a problem.

The whole process of buying a house with Homes Overseas was so easy, they took control of everything what needed doing what left us time to enjoy the area we had chosen to buy our holiday home in until we flew home. Even after buying the property we can still rely on Matt to sort out a few things for us like the Suma, we didn’t get our renewal but this was sorted within 10 minutes and I received a duplicate via email.

We would recommend these guys to anyone who is looking to buy a property abroad.

Matt was recommended to us by a friend that had already purchased their dream property with his help a year earlier. From first telephone contact to completion of our purchase Matt was always available to answer questions and support us through the process. He was able to show us numerous properties based on our preferred criteria and budget. Nothing was ever too much trouble….
