Costa Daurada Resorts

The Costa Daurada has a mix of spectacular beaches and breath-taking mountain scenery, which makes this one of the nicest holiday areas in Spain, and, with the charm of Barcelona close and wonderful resorts such as La Pineda, Salou and Cambrils, you will enjoy an unforgettable holiday.

Salou

Salou is a large resort situated between Cambrils and La Pineda and just 90 minutes south of Barcelona. It is the perfect location for a great family holiday with its golden sandy beaches, excellent nightlife, plenty of shops, bars and restaurants – and it is only 20 minutes away from the biggest theme park in Europe, PortAventura, which gives you six ‘worlds’ to explore as well as legendary rides such as the Dragon Khan rollercoaster and the fearsome Hurakan Condor giant drop. Once you have enjoyed the adrenaline rush, you can cool off in the waterpark.

For the more traditionalists, the beautiful area known as Cap Salou with its pine topped coves is only 5-10 minutes’ drive away from the hustle and bustle of the centre of Salou. With Salou offering a vast amount of things to see and do, it is the ideal place for a fun family holiday or for a group of friends.

While La Pineda may not be ‘buzzing’ like Salou, the town offers plenty of entertainment and an array of bars, restaurants and shops. Five minutes from La Pineda is Tarragona, which was the capital of Roman Spain and retains numerous reminders of days gone by. The site is dominated by a huge seafront amphitheatre, where gladiators fought, while other highlights include the forum and the old chariot-racing circuit, where you can still see grooves made by chariot wheels.

Originally a fishing town, Cambrils is a pretty resort close to Salou. It is one of the most popular seaside resorts on the Costa Daurada and acts as a smaller, quieter and grown-up alternative to Salou while still in close proximity to PortAventura theme park.

Perfect for classic beach holidays, Cambrils’ 9km of Blue Flag sandy shores is a huge attraction, transforming into gigantic playgrounds for children and adults alike and teaming with beach games, water sports and evening entertainment for all.
