Apartamentos Marcomar in Alcossebre
The Residencial Marcomar is a very special apartment complex in Alcossebre (Alcocebre): it sits at the foot of the Sierra de Irta Natural Park, a privileged spot for lovers of nature, crystal-clear coves and peace and quiet. It is a different option from the typical town-centre apartment, designed for truly switching off without giving up being close to the sea.
At the foot of the Sierra de Irta
Marcomar's great distinctive feature is its natural setting. A few minutes' walk away is Cala Mundina, a small natural cove of fine sand and transparent waters, and Las Fuentes beach is about 1.3 km away. Being next to the Sierra de Irta Natural Park means having hiking and mountain-biking routes on your doorstep and some of the most unspoilt coves on the Mediterranean, an increasingly rare luxury on the coast.
The pool and communal areas
The complex stands out for its outdoor pool, usually open from Easter until mid-November, surrounded by nature and with a sunbathing area with loungers. It is one of the aspects most praised by guests, ideal for families. The very large complex, made up of several blocks integrated into the landscape, also offers easy parking, something greatly appreciated in high season.
Inside the apartment
The Marcomar apartments are spacious and quiet, with good soundproofing according to guests themselves, an equipped kitchen and a terrace. It is important to know that the complex does not have a lift, so it is worth bearing in mind if you travel with a lot of luggage or have reduced mobility. In return, you enjoy a relaxed atmosphere in contact with nature that is hard to find so close to the sea.
Hiking and coves in the Sierra de Irta
The Sierra de Irta is one of the last stretches of unspoilt coastline on the Mediterranean, a land and sea natural park with paths skirting cliffs, centuries-old watchtowers and coves of turquoise water reached only on foot or by bike. From Marcomar it is the perfect starting point for discovering Cala Mundina, Cala del Moro or the lighthouse, and for snorkelling in protected, crystal-clear waters.
A destination to switch off
Marcomar is the choice of those looking for a different kind of holiday: less tarmac and more nature, with the murmur of the sea and the pine forest as a soundtrack. It is common to see families and couples returning every summer, drawn by the calm, the pool and the feeling of being away from it all without giving up the comforts of an apartment. A perfect plan for recharging your batteries.

Tips and who it suits
Marcomar is perfect for those looking for nature, coves and calm, for hikers and for families who value the pool and the quiet over being in the centre. Bring comfortable footwear for the trails and use the car to combine nature and town. Book through Casa Azahar.
