Hotels in Alcocéber

Alcocéber (also spelled Alcossebre) is a low-key beach town on the Costa del Azahar, north of Valencia, built around a run of clean, gently shelving sandy coves backed by the Sierra de Irta natural park rather than high-rise development. It's known for family holidays, snorkelling off the rocky points between beaches, and a coastline that stays undeveloped because the hills behind it can't be built on.

Be honest: there's little in the way of nightlife or culture here, the town more or less shuts down outside July and August, and you'll need a car to make the most of the surrounding coves and the park's walking trails. Stay close to the main beach, Playa Las Fuentes or Playa Del Moro, for easy walking access to the sand and the handful of decent seafood restaurants nearby.
