From Costa Cálida to the Oasis of Al’Banyala
2-night getaway with breakfast and a guided route along the Río Chícamo to the Oasis of Al’Banyala. Book nature and relaxation.
Some getaways begin with the calm of the Mediterranean and end by revealing an unexpected inland landscape. “From Costa Cálida to the Oasis of Al’Banyala” is a 2-night accommodation package designed to combine relaxation, nature and a guided experience through one of the most surprising corners of the Region of Murcia: the Río Chícamo and the surroundings of the Oasis of Al’Banyala.
During the stay, you will enjoy accommodation in a Costa Cálida establishment, with breakfast included, and set aside part of the trip for a guided hiking route along the Río Chícamo. This combination brings together two very different ways to disconnect: the serenity of the coast and the excitement of walking through a natural landscape full of contrasts.
Costa Cálida offers that Mediterranean rhythm that invites you to relax from the very first moment. Soft light, a peaceful atmosphere, quiet walks and the chance to enjoy the coastal surroundings before or after the activity. It is the ideal starting point for a balanced getaway, where the experience is not only about physical activity, but also about the pleasure of slowing down, enjoying breakfast without rushing and letting the trip unfold at its own pace.
The main experience comes with the guided route along the Río Chícamo to the Oasis of Al’Banyala. This natural setting surprises visitors with its unique character. In a Region of Murcia marked by dry landscapes, ravines, hills and warm tones, the Río Chícamo appears as a corridor of life. Water, vegetation, eroded walls and small passages along the route create a very special feeling: that of entering a hidden oasis, close by and yet unexpected.
Walking along the Río Chícamo means discovering another side of Murcia. A more intimate, natural and silent Murcia, where the landscape appears without artifice. Throughout the route, the guide will help interpret the surroundings, accompany the group and provide safety during the activity. This guidance allows you to enjoy the experience with greater peace of mind, especially in natural areas where the terrain, riverbed or conditions may vary depending on the season.
The Oasis of Al’Banyala adds an evocative touch to the getaway. Its name itself recalls the past, water as the origin of life and that bond between nature and history that appears in many corners of inland Murcia. Reaching it on foot makes the experience feel more authentic: every step prepares you for a landscape that contrasts with the usual image of the area.
This getaway is designed for those looking for an active but not extreme plan. It is ideal for couples, friends, curious travellers, lovers of gentle hiking and anyone who wants to add a nature experience to a relaxing stay. No special technical preparation is required, although it is advisable to be used to walking in natural environments and to wear comfortable, suitable footwear.
One of the great attractions of this proposal is the contrast between accommodation on the Costa Cálida and the route along the Río Chícamo. On the one hand, you have Mediterranean relaxation, breakfast included and the comfort of the chosen establishment. On the other, a guided hiking day among water, earth, vegetation and inland scenery. This mix turns the getaway into something more complete than a simple stay: it adds emotion, content and a story to remember.
After the route, returning to the accommodation allows you to enjoy rest in a different way. The body comes back active, the mind clearer and the trip gains depth. You can complete the stay with walks around the coastal area, moments of relaxation or quiet plans depending on the chosen accommodation and availability.
As this is an activity in nature, the route may be subject to weather conditions, terrain conditions, river flow and the safety criteria of the organiser. This flexibility is part of the responsibility required to enjoy a natural environment with guarantees. The experience is always adapted to the real conditions of the day, prioritising safety and the enjoyment of the group.
“From Costa Cálida to the Oasis of Al’Banyala” is a getaway for those who want to breathe, walk and rest. A way to discover the Region of Murcia through two complementary landscapes: the calm of the coast and the hidden freshness of the Río Chícamo. A simple, Mediterranean proposal full of nature, designed to leave you with the feeling of having found somewhere different.
If you are looking for a 2-night getaway with breakfast included, accommodation on the Costa Cálida and a guided route along the Río Chícamo to the Oasis of Al’Banyala, this experience brings together relaxation, gentle adventure and landscape in one trip.
