The Residencial Verdemar developments in Villamartín
The complete guide for the Residencial Verdemar developments
Residencial Verdemar is a series of four highly sought-after, established low-rise residential communities located in the Villamartín area of Orihuela Costa, South Costa Blanca.
Comprising four individual developments: Verdemar I, II, III and IV, the complexes are widely renowned for featuring some of the most beautiful Mediterranean communal gardens, exotic Japanese-style fish ponds, and large swimming pools in this part of Spain.
Built between 1988 and 1990, the Residencial Verdemar communities have been among the most recognisable residential developments in Villamartín for almost four decades - a collection of Mediterranean homes surrounded by mature gardens, flowing water features, and the fairways of Villamartín Golf Course.
Today the developments continue to attract buyers looking for homes with traditional Spanish character, generous outdoor space, and established residential environments rather than the higher-density developments built in more recent years.
Where are the Residencial Verdemar communities located?
Situated immediately beside the verdant fairways of Villamartín Golf Course, location has always been one of the Verdemar complexes' most prominent features. The communities are just a 10-minute walk (700 metres) from the La Fuente commercial centre, and within walking distance of the famous Villamartín Plaza.
The developments lie 5.7 km from the magnificent Playa Cala Caleta beach in Cabo Roig (around 15 minutes by car), and just 10 minutes (4.7 km) from Zenia Boulevard, the Costa Blanca's largest international shopping and leisure space.
The origins of the complexes date back to the expansion of Villamartín during the late 1980s, when the surrounding golf resort was becoming firmly established as one of the Costa Blanca's premier residential destinations.
Built by Pemar Group under the guiding hand of Antonio Pedrera Soler, the company evolved into Trivee Properties, a name synonymous with the Villamartín area, and a real estate company that continues to shape the Costa Blanca property market today, with ongoing developments at La Finca Golf Resort.
Residencial Verdemar I, the premier community in Orihuela Costa
The original Verdemar 1 development consists of 16 blocks of homes arranged around four ornate lawned "town squares" replete with Washingtonia fan palm trees and Mediterranean flora, and a freeform community swimming pool for residents.
The complex offers a mix of single-storey "Lola" style bungalows with private gardens, and two-storey blocks with garden apartments downstairs, and penthouse apartments with a private roof terrace upstairs. Properties typically offer a 2-bedroom 1-bathroom layout with around 75 m² of living space.
Located immediately adjacent to the west of the manicured fairways of Villamartín Golf course, the inaugural Verdemar I residential community covers an area in excess of 15.000 m².
The private complex is not gated and doesn't offer vehicular access, but benefits from plentiful free on-street parking in Calle Pablo Sarasate to the north, and dedicated parking bays along Calle Pablo Casals to the south.
Discover Verdemar II in Villamartín
Located immediately south of the original community, Verdemar 2 follows a similar theme to the original complex, with a familiar mix of single-storey bungalows with patio gardens, two-storey townhouses, and blocks with garden apartments downstairs and penthouse apartments with a roof terrace upstairs.
One of Villamartín's most admired residential communities, the complex offers a wide variety of property sizes from 65 m² 2-bedroom 1-bathroom apartments to 118 m² 3-bedroom 3-bathroom townhouses. All homes have a covered terrace, an open-plan kitchen, and a fireplace in the living room.
The development boasts two swimming pools at the heart of the community, a dedicated children's pool, landscaped communal areas, and an additional lawned botanical garden to the east, with palm trees, a large fountain, and two ornamental fish ponds with flowing streams.
Verdemar II is not gated and doesn't offer vehicular access, but plentiful on-street parking can be found along Calle Pablo Casals. The complex has its own community website packed with useful information for residents and prospective property buyers.
Residencial Verdemar III, the centrepiece development
The largest of the Verdemar phases and one of Villamartín's most desirable residential addresses, Verdemar 3 occupies 28.400 m² of prime real estate immediately adjacent to Villamartín Golf Course.
The development comprises 180 apartments, bungalows and townhouses, intricately arranged around beautifully maintained Mediterranean gardens connected by winding pathways and a cascading stream that has become one of the community's defining features.
A genuine centrepiece, Verdemar III boasts three large swimming pools, an ornamental fountain pool, an extensive network of fully stocked fish ponds (replete with terrapins), and more than a hundred palm trees creating a natural environment that feels remarkably different from anything else.
Smaller homes are typically around 65 m² with a 2-bedroom 1-bathroom floorplan, whilst larger townhouses offer up to 133 m² of living space and a 3-bed 2-bath layout. All properties benefit from plentiful outside space, gardens or roof terraces (or both), and the community website provides up-to-date information.
Verdemar IV at Villamartín Golf Course
Located at the southernmost tip of Villamartín Golf Course, Verdemar 4 continues the same low-density, low-rise Mediterranean theme with typically Spanish architecture, whitewashed façades, and the vibrant terracotta tiled roofs that characterise the Verdemar communities.
The development consists of 60 properties arranged around the 15th hole of Villamartín Golf Course. The familiar mix of "Lola" style bungalows, townhouses, and two-storey apartment blocks surrounds a lawned community garden with ornate Mediterranean flora and a large freeform swimming pool.
Properties in Urbanización Villamartín Verdemar IV typically offer a 2-bedroom 1-bathroom footprint around 75 m², with an open-plan kitchen, fireplace in the living area, a covered terrace, and a patio garden or a private roof terrace with elevated views across the complex and the verdant fairways beyond.
The exclusive private community is ungated and traffic-free, with on-street parking provided in bays immediately adjacent to the development for residents and their guests.
