The Resorts
The twin resorts of Alcossebre/Las Fuentes on the picturesque Costa
del Azahar—The Orange Blossom Coast, often referred to as
the jewel of Spanish Mediterranean resorts.
Definitely not ‘package tour’ land, this is where the
discerning Spanish spend their holidays. Bustling only at peak August
holidays and Fiestas, the resort is very laid back and a great place
to unwind. Many fine restaurants and bars to choose from! Click

Beaches
The twin resort of Alcossebre/Las Fuentes boast several fine beaches
- one to suit everyone. The Las Fuentes Beach is so named because
of the many natural fresh water springs which arise on the beach,
making for a unique salt and freshwater experience with wheelable
firm-sand in places (caution with very young children). During the
high summer season, the Carregador Beach offers accessible beach
services, including showers, changing cubicles and toilets - even
a sun bed/chair which wheels into the sea! Assistants also on hand
to help. Click on the images for a larger

Eating Out
Our apartments are all fully equipped for a self-catering holiday
and there are a number of small supermarkets in the vicinity. Most
people eat out, however, as there are literally dozens of restaurants
to choose from – offering every type of local and international
cuisine. Amongst our favourites is El Pinar perched high above the
resort and offering one of the most stunning views in the Mediterranean.

Kids
The apartments pools and resorts beaches will prove to be a magnet
for young ones seeking fun in the sun. In the main summer season,
a fun train runs around the resorts until late at night, pedal go-karts
and scooters are also available for rent in the marina. A new addition
to resort is an indoor adventure play area. Trampolines, bouncy
castles etc. are also available during these periods, but otherwise
the resort is low key and very much about families spending time
together – it is normal to see young children eating out with
their parents into the early hours. This is real Spain.
For families wishing to venture out of the resort, Aquarama
is a large water and splash park in the resort of Benicassim (40
minutes drive).
Universal Studios Port Aventura is just 90 minutes.
