The hostel occupies a building dating back to the 1940's, completely renovated in 2009. Its white walls and the pine trees at the entrance contrast with the rest of the modern buildings that surround it. In addition to this, it is located on the beachfront, just a few metres from the sea and has a wide, fine sandy beach.

The hostel has two floors, on the ground floor there are some rooms, the dining room, living rooms, classrooms and other services of the hostel. The rest of the rooms are on the first floor. At the back there is an esplanade with sports courts, swimming pools and an area for evening parties.
It is located on the seafront promenade, in the heart of the tourist area of Benicàssim, next to the Sailing School.

GEOGRAPHICAL SITUATION

It is located in Benicàssim, 13 km from Castellón de la Plana, a town between the sea and the mountains, between the Mediterranean and the mountain ranges of Orpesa and Les Santes, where the Desert de les Palmes Natural Park is located. This means that there are dry and irrigated crops in the area, although the main economic resource of the area is tourism.

Benicàssim is a modern town that conserves vestiges of its history, such as the ruins of the castle of Montornés (of Muslim origin), a watchtower on the beach or the ruins of the monastery of the Carmelites (18th century) and a parish church in neoclassical style (18th century). It also has a series of summer villas next to the beach, the oldest dating from 1879.
