Renting a holiday apartment in Alcocéber is the favourite choice of the families and couples who arrive every summer from Aragón, the Basque Country, Navarre, La Rioja and Madrid. Alcocéber, now officially called Alcossebre (Alcalà de Xivert, Castellón), has more than 10 km of coastline, a marina and the Serra d'Irta Natural Park just north of town. Almost all the accommodation is in apartment complexes with a pool and gardens, spread across four areas.
On this site we help you choose an area and a complex, explain how renting by the week or the fortnight works and give you driving distances from inland Spain and the north.

What to look for in a holiday apartment
Before you book, check these points. Not every complex has them, and they usually make the difference on a longer stay:
- Distance to the beach. Some buildings are right on the seafront, such as Marino or Casablanca, and others are a few minutes' walk away.
- Pool. Many complexes have an adult pool and a children's pool; in some it only opens in season.
- Lift. Important if you're travelling with older people or a pushchair: Bovalar and Mare Nostrum have one.
- Parking. If you're driving a long way, check whether there's parking and whether it's free (Madeira and Jardines del Puerto offer it free of charge).
- Capacity. There are studios for two or four people and three-bedroom apartments for six or eight.
None of the Casa Azahar apartments accepts pets, so if you're travelling with your dog you'll need to look elsewhere.
By the week, the fortnight or a few days
In Alcocéber most people rent by the week or by the fortnight in July and August, and by the night for the rest of the year. In weekly and fortnightly rentals we explain when to book, what the rental usually includes and the differences between renting from a private owner or from an agency.

Driving from inland Spain
Alcocéber lies right by the AP-7 (exit 44, Alcossebre-Torreblanca) and the N-340. From Zaragoza it's about 255 km; from Madrid, about 465 km; and from Bilbao, about 565 km. You'll find journey times and tips on the page how to drive to Alcocéber.
Alcocéber, Alcoceber or Alcossebre
All three names refer to the same place. Alcossebre has been the official name since 1997; it used to be spelt Alcocebre, and in Aragón, Navarre, La Rioja and the Basque Country people still often say Alcocéber or Alcoceber. Whichever spelling you searched for, you're in the right place.
