Discover the hotel catering to elite athletes with hypoxia services in Benicasim
In these spaces, cutting-edge technology is used to replicate high-altitude conditions by reducing the oxygen content in the air
Benicasim (Castellón, Spain) is home to the perfect hotel for elite athletes — a four-star establishment specialising in health, sports and relaxation. It even offers hypoxic rooms, a true game-changer for high-performance athletes, particularly in the cycling world.
Introducing the Hotel Intur Bonaire, a long-time host to individual athletes, groups and tourists seeking a Mediterranean coastal retreat. The Intur Resort complex also boasts a top-notch Technogym studio, outdoor and indoor 25-metre heated pools and a cycling centre.
Yet, the stand-out feature at this athlete-centric hotel is undoubtedly its hypoxic rooms, a service available from January 2024 through Intur Group's sports division, InturSports Travel Services — a leading company in sports tourism consistently embracing technology and the latest trends. In these spaces, cutting-edge technology is used to replicate high-altitude conditions by reducing the oxygen content in the air. This plays a crucial role in optimising athletic performance, naturally increasing red blood cell mass.
Cyclists, for instance, often train in high-altitude environments to enhance performance and reap additional benefits. However, the challenge is usually travelling to high-altitude facilities, often with temperatures dropping below freezing. Hence, this hotel emerges as the ideal choice for high-performance athletes, as they not only achieve peak results thanks to hypoxia but also get to enjoy the beach, various routes and a welcoming environment, eliminating the need to add travel to their training routines.
