The season has come to an end, and it’s time to close the doors — but first, we want to open our hearts. At Hotel Bersoca, we just want to say thank you. Thank you for every smile, every kind word, every shared moment. This summer has been filled with emotions, and before we start thinking about the next one, we want to pause and celebrate everything we’ve lived.

Moments we’ll never forget
 This year, we welcomed over 50 dogs, served around 3,500 toasts at breakfast, and heard the phrase “it’s so nice here” more than 1,200 times. And each time, it made us smile.
There was the couple who celebrated their anniversary on our terrace, the family who came for three nights and stayed for seven, and the child who cried when they had to leave — and maybe the parents too.

Summer lessons we carry with us
 You’ve reminded us that it’s not about how much you do, but how you live it. A nap on the terrace, a shared breakfast, or a sunset conversation are just as valuable as any excursion.
You’ve taught us to value the simple things, the authentic ones — and that’s exactly what we want to keep offering.

More than guests — a community
 Thank you for recommending us, for tagging us in your photos, for your kind reviews and for coming back year after year.
We close the season with full hearts and already looking forward to the next. Hotel Bersoca is much more than a place to sleep — and that’s thanks to you.

Taking a break from the everyday can be easier than you think, and sometimes the best nature experiences are just around the corner. Near Hotel Bersoca, you’ll find stunning natural spots where you can enjoy peaceful walks, fresh air and breathtaking views — no hiking expertise required.

Whether you’re visiting as a couple, with a group of friends, or bringing your pet along, these hiking trails in Benicàssim are perfect for relaxing and reconnecting with the landscape. Here are four you can explore during your stay with us.

1. Vía Verde del Mar

This is the most famous trail in the area, and with good reason. It follows an old railway route between Benicàssim and Oropesa del Mar, running alongside the Mediterranean with impressive views of cliffs, tunnels and hidden coves.

  • Distance: around 6 km one way
  • Difficulty: very easy
  • Perfect for: cycling, walking or going with kids

You can walk to the starting point directly from the hotel. It’s a great option for the morning, and once you’re back, you can cool off with a swim at the beach.

2. Bartolo Trail (Easy Section)

The Bartolo summit is the highest point in the Desert de les Palmes, but you don’t have to reach the top to enjoy its surroundings. There are milder routes, like the one that starts at the Sant Joan viewpoint, which takes you through pine forests and natural lookouts.

  • Distance: varies depending on the chosen section
  • Difficulty: low to moderate on the easy stretch
  • Perfect for: anyone wanting a bit more movement without too much effort

3. Walk through La Renegà Natural Area

This is not a mountain trail, but it is one of the most visually rewarding. Starting near the Vía Verde, it winds along rocky coves, Mediterranean pines and hidden corners where nature feels untouched. It’s a short but very sensory experience.

  • Distance: 2 to 3 km
  • Difficulty: easy
  • Perfect for: couples looking for romantic spots or families wanting to explore without getting too tired

4. Agujas de Santa Águeda Route

Starting from the Desierto de las Palmas, the trail climbs through rocky terrain until reaching the striking formations known as the Agujas de Santa Águeda. The scenery is wild, the panoramic views are breathtaking, and the experience connects you with the most rugged and authentic side of Benicàssim.

  • Distance: 6 km (circular).
  • Difficulty: moderate.
  • Ideal for: hikers with good physical condition looking for a short but intense route, unforgettable views, and a true sense of achievement.

Planning your walk

At Hotel Bersoca, we’re happy to help you make the most of your day outdoors. We can provide trail maps, app suggestions for navigation, tips for picnic spots and even advice on where to eat after your hike. We believe spending time in nature is an essential part of a complete and memorable holiday in Castellón.

 

From our hotel we know that traveling is often more than just a change of place: it is an opportunity to enjoy different environments in a responsible way and taking care of the chosen destination. For this reason, responsible tourism in Benicàssim and surroundings is becoming more and more common, combining rest, leisure and responsibility with the environment.

If this summer you feel like relaxing while remaining conscious, here are some ideas to enjoy Benicàssim and its surroundings in an ecological and sustainable way.

Responsible housing: the first step is in the stay

Our commitment to sustainability starts with our accommodation. At our hotel, we apply conscious measures to minimise the impact of our activity:

  • Use of solar panels to reduce energy consumption.
  • Charging stations for electric vehicles.
  • Efficient use of water.

We are also committed to inclusive tourism, participating in and promoting various organisations and associations, having adapted rooms and services and happily welcoming your pets.

Sustainable movement

One of Benicàssim’s strong points is the ease of getting around by bike and the routes that are more enjoyable by pedalling, such as the Via Verde. This route, which takes advantage of the old railway line between Benicàssim and Oropesa, allows you to enjoy breathtaking views of the Mediterranean without having to go by car. From the hotel, we provide you with bicycle rental so that you can move around in a comfortable and sustainable way.

Nature in its purest form

A few minutes from our hotel, you will find the Desierto de las Palmas Natural Park, perfect for your hiking routes, suitable for all ages. Here, active tourism becomes a conscious experience: clean air, walking calmly and connecting with nature, always remember to protect yourself from the sun, take water and follow the marked paths!

Small gestures add up

Sometimes it doesn’t take much effort to travel responsibly. Here are some simple reminders:

  • Turn off the air conditioning when you are not in the room.
  • Control your water consumption.
  • Try to support local businesses.

Every action counts.

When we think about holidays, often what we want most is simply to rest. And if we add delicious, homemade food to that, even better. At Hotel Bersoca, we understand this perfectly, because we’ve spent years caring for our guests as if they were family.

So if what you really need this summer is a true break, here are 7 reasons to choose our hotel in Benicàssim. A place that’s calm, family-friendly, sustainable, and full of Mediterranean charm.

1. Because here, holidays mean no stress

No need to wake up early to reserve a spot. No endless queues or crowds. At Hotel Bersoca, everything flows at a calm, easy pace. We’re big enough to offer great services and amenities, but small enough to ensure there’s always space for you and that personal touch.

2. Because we’re close to everything

One of our greatest advantages is our location. We’re in a quiet residential area of Benicàssim that offers the best of both worlds: peace and convenience. In just a few minutes, you can be at the beach, on the promenade, or in the town center.

And when you return to the hotel, what you’ll find is calm. No noise. Just the break you were looking for.

3. Because our food is homemade, fresh and full of flavor

If you’re looking for a hotel with good food in Castellón, this is your spot. Our restaurant serves menus made with fresh ingredients, with options for every taste and that unmistakable homemade touch you’ll notice from the very first bite.

Every day we prepare varied breakfasts, balanced lunches and different dinner options, including local dishes. And if you have any dietary preferences or intolerances, just let us know — we’re happy to adapt our menus for you.

4. Because our rooms are made for real rest

Nothing beats a comfortable, bright and quiet room to help your body recover from a day in the sun and by the sea. At Hotel Bersoca you’ll find cozy beds, great ventilation, spotless cleanliness and practical details that make everything easier.

5. Because if you’re coming with family, everything is ready for you

We’re a family-friendly hotel, and it really shows. We have kids’ entertainment in the summer, a pool with a children’s area, an outdoor playground and spacious rooms. Kids will have a great time — and parents can truly relax.

6. Because we respect everyone and the planet

We take sustainability seriously. From small daily gestures like responsible water and energy use, to bigger commitments like sourcing local products and encouraging recycling among guests.

We’re also an LGTBIQ+ friendly and pet-friendly space, where everyone is welcome and free to enjoy their holiday exactly as they are.

 

7. Because here, you’re what matters most

This might be the most important reason of all. At Hotel Bersoca, we don’t just see guests — we see people. We want you to feel welcomed, cared for and supported. We love to chat, recommend plans, help you organize your day… but we also know when to give you space.

Because every guest is different, and our way of caring is to listen, adapt and always offer a genuine smile.

Are you someone who can’t imagine a holiday without feeling the sand beneath your feet? Then you’re in the right place. At Hotel Bersoca, we don’t just offer a peaceful, family-friendly atmosphere — we’re also just a short walk away from some of the very best beaches in Benicàssim.

In this article, we’ll take you on a tour of the coastline closest to the hotel, with options for every taste. From quiet coves to fully serviced beaches, because a seaside holiday is always better when you know exactly where to go.

Torreón Beach: Perfect for Families

Torreón Beach is one of the most iconic in Benicàssim. It gets its name from the old watchtower that still stands near the seafront promenade. It’s perfect for families with kids thanks to its fine sand, calm waters, and relaxed vibe.

It’s also fully equipped with showers, lifeguards, accessible facilities for people with reduced mobility, and shaded areas. You can reach it on foot from Hotel Bersoca in just about 10 minutes.

Heliópolis Beach: For Leisurely Strolls

Stretching over 2 kilometers, Heliópolis Beach is one of the longest in the area. Ideal for those who love long shoreline walks, reading under a parasol, or simply lying back to gaze at the sea.

Along the promenade you’ll find cafés, ice cream shops, and terraces perfect for taking a break. Its generous width means there’s always space to stretch out and unwind, even during high season.

Almadraba Beach: Relaxed Atmosphere and Local Charm

If you’re looking for a beach with personality, this is it. Almadraba Beach is smaller, more intimate, and has its own special charm. It’s perfect for couples or families with teenagers wanting something a bit more “authentic.”

Access is easy, and there are plenty of beach bars around where you can enjoy a cold drink or tapas at lunchtime. If you’re feeling more adventurous, you can also rent a kayak or paddleboard to explore the coast.

Voramar Beach: Seaside Elegance

Voramar Beach is one of the most famous for its well-kept surroundings, historic modernist villas facing the sea, and tranquil vibe. Everything here feels calmer, slower.

It’s ideal for early morning swims, reading a good book, or simply sitting at a terrace with a view. You can get there with a short bike ride or drive from the hotel, and it’s worth setting aside a morning to really enjoy it at your own pace.
