Local Information

Costa Ballena boasts two international airports in close proximity (Jerez & Seville) whlist Málaga & Gibraltar are a little farther away; a motorway connecting with the European networks through Seville and Madrid, and a high-speed train with a terminal in Seville.

Costa Ballena Resort is a purpose built resort and has been designed with the preservation of the surrounding environment. Open spaces and landscaped zones already take up more than 62 percent of the surface of Costa Ballena, with more than 45,000 trees and shrubs planted throughout its territory. The decision to blend its architecture with the already pleasant surroundings is one of the strongest features of this development, like all buildings on the Costa de la luz the height never exceeds three floors unlike the monstrosities on the Costa del Sol. A minimum habitual area of 30 square meters per resident and all attempts made to optimise the relationship between residential spaces and natural, leisure and sports areas.

The developers have paid special attention to providing future residents with the best facilities, whilst maintaining their environmentally friendly approach. Special pnuematic rubbish disposal systems eliminate the need for containers; water purifiers provide water for irrigated land, quality drinking water, artificial lakes and a whole sea for fishing, the beach, sailing and much more. Natural Gas is in all the houses, residual water purifiers, security facilities and active monitoring, sanitary systems and emergency medical services as well as a plentiful supply of parks, avenues, gardens and a large area of trees all make Playa Ballena a perfect living environment.

If you are looking for a purpose built resort away from the hustle bustle of the Spanish resorts and towns then the Costa Ballena (Playa Ballena) is most definitely the place for you.
