Sun Park Living, a British-owned hotel-apartment complex is for couples and singles who want to spend time in the sun either on a short or long term basis, within a community complex. Located in Playa Blanca, it close to some of the loveliest beaches in South Lanzarote and is the first active-community holiday-living resort in Europe exclusively dedicated to those aged 50 and over. The joy is that residents can lead an active and independent community life within a permanent holiday environment and spend as much or as little time as they wish within a private community of like-minded individuals.
Sun Park Living is neither merely a commercial holiday resort, nor a retirement village. It is a unique private 'village-like' community within a holiday resort, where friendships and camaraderie develops easily. Fondly termed 'Sun Rockers', the pioneers in the community are shaping the very first and one of its kind private long stay holiday home.
"The ethos of the community is simple" says founder Gil Summers. "Sun Park Living is all about the residents, the community hearted and minded. It's about sharing life and giving back, and is about thriving in the later years and enjoying a home-away-from-home with a newly found expat family.
"New residents get to feel at home the minute they arrive. They are introduced slowly to everyone, are shown around the area and informed about the activities happening during their stay. They get help doing their shopping, daily chores and get involved in the community as much or as little as they want to."
In fact, the hotel has very little involvement as everything is organised within the community, as a social enterprise, for and by Sun Rockers, making all activities either free or almost free.
The complex, which comprises 220 apartments, is unique in that under its 'Make it yours' concept, means residents may make their mark and add their own special touches to their apartment. This means that whilst the apartments come fully furnished, residents are at liberty to redecorate and bring in their own furniture, to make themselves feel absolutely at home.
Set in the heart of the beautiful town of Playa Blanca, within walking distance of the picturesque old town and harbour, Sun Park Living encourages guests to make the most of all the benefits that come from living in the sun - a simple way of life in a unique, natural setting, filled with breath-taking scenery.
Residents don't need to sell or re-mortgage their home, nor tap into their savings in order to finance staying there. Apartments are available to rent direct from the resort from just £499 (625 Euros) per apartment, per 4weeks. There are no contracts or obligations and you can come and go as you please.
The price includes all utility fees, maintenance and common areas upkeep, ground rent, service charge, TV license, council tax and British tv satellite connection. Sun Rockers also receive complimentary wi-fi, in-room safe deposit box and hotel parking.
In fact, all Sun Rockers agree that moving to Sun Park Living could actually save residents money, by affording them the opportunity to rent out their own property back home, whilst benefiting from the low-cost of living on the island.*
The resort is offering an introductory trial week, by invitation only, for £279 (350€).
