Bel-Air AFFORDABLE NEW GOLDEN MILE WITH SPORT AND BEACH ACCESS

What is Bel-Air?

Bel-Air is a residential neighbourhood positioned on the southern, beach-facing side of the New Golden Mile between Cancelada to the west and Costalita to the east. What distinguishes Bel-Air is its combination of reasonable pricing, proximity to amenities and a growing sense of community identity. The Bel Air Tennis Club acts as a social anchor.

Bel-Air's position gives it practical advantages. The N-340 with supermarkets runs along the northern edge. The beach is a five-to-eight-minute walk south. Los Flamingos Golf is immediately to the east.
