Why this destination is a must-visit
Salou: where the Costa Dorada truly sparkles
Did you know Salou literally shines? It’s not just a saying, the Costa Dorada gets its name from the quartz and mica in its sand, glowing like gold under the sun. But Salou is far more than stunning beaches, it’s a destination full of history and postcard-perfect corners.
-
The sunset lighthouse: For that unforgettable holiday moment, stroll along the wooden path to the Salou Lighthouse. It’s the wildest stretch of coastline and the place where you’ll truly understand the magic behind every “sunset” escape.
-
Footsteps of kings and pirates: The same seafront you walk today once saw King Jaume I set sail to conquer Mallorca. Follow the Camino de Ronda and you’ll trace ancient paths used by fishermen, and the occasional smuggler, hiding among hidden coves.
-
More than adrenaline: Yes, PortAventura is just around the corner, but don’t miss the Luminous Fountain, a true work of art designed by the same visionary behind Barcelona’s iconic fountains.
-
Our insider tip: Take an afternoon trip to nearby Reus, just 15 minutes away. Birthplace of Gaudí, home to stunning modernist architecture and the temple of vermouth culture. Order one in Plaça del Mercadal and experience Salou like a local.
Salou isn’t just a destination… it’s a glow you’ll never forget.
Costa Dorada: Spain’s ultimate family-friendly coastal destination
The Costa Dorada, located on the Mediterranean coast of Catalonia just south of Barcelona, is one of Spain’s most popular holiday regions for families and couples. Known for its long golden-sand beaches, relaxed atmosphere and excellent leisure options, it’s a destination that perfectly combines beach time, culture and fun.
Make sure you visit:
- Tarragona, with its impressive Roman ruins overlooking the sea.
- Salou, lively and ideal for families, with a beautiful seafront promenade.
- Cambrils, famous for its harbour and excellent restaurants.
- Reus, the birthplace of Gaudí, full of modernist architecture.
Beaches we think you’ll like:
- Llevant Beach (Salou): wide, well-equipped and family-friendly.
- Cambrils Beach: calm waters and a relaxed local feel.
- La Pineda Beach: long and spacious, perfect for walks by the sea.
- Cala Fonda: a more natural and scenic cove near Tarragona.
Family-friendly activities:
- Spend an unforgettable day at PortAventura World, one of Europe’s best theme parks.
- Enjoy safe, shallow waters ideal for children.
- Walk or cycle along the coastal promenades.
- Discover Roman history through open-air sites and museums.
Make sure you try these local delicacies:
- Traditional seafood paella and rice dishes.
- Fideuà, made with noodles instead of rice.
- Fresh grilled fish from the Mediterranean.
- Local wines and cava from nearby Penedès.
Make the most of your visit and go to...
- Tarragona (15–20 minutes): Roman heritage and charming old town.
- Reus (20 minutes): shopping and modernist routes.
- Barcelona (1 hour): culture, architecture and vibrant city life.

Pues sinceramente de lo que más he disfrutado a sido de mi pareja, porque lo demás tururú.
La comida una auténtica vergüenza. Y como siempre el agua en el comedor más cara que la gasolina.

Muy buen lugar y por el precio pagado no se puede pedir más.
Old rooms. Breakfast and dinner with little variety and of dubious quality. In the room they stretched the bedspread but did not make the bed and did not clean. Hotel very deteriorated in general. But for the price we paid we could not ask for more. Good location
Habitaciones antiguas. Desayuno y cena con poca variedad y de calidad dudosa. En la habitación estiraban la colcha pero no hacían la cama y tampoco limpiaban. Hotel muy deteriorado en general. Pero por el precio que hemos pagado no se puede pedir más. Buena ubicación

La habitación está muy bien, es correcta y limpia.
The hotel is ok, the bad thing is that it is full of groups of teenagers who do not respect the rest. We had to change rooms but it was more of the same. I think they should reserve some space for families or couples, or have that foresight (if they are going to come hundreds of teenagers it is normal that there is noise, but it is not normal to put 2 families with 4 children next to them). The buffet is quite scarce (few things) and with little variety.
El hotel es correcto, lo malo es que está lleno de grupos de adolescentes que no respetan el descanso. Tuvimos que cambiar de habitación pero era más de lo mismo. Creo que deberían reservar algún espacio para familias o parejas , o tener esa previsión (si van a venir cientos de adolescentes es normal que haya ruido, pero no es normal poner a 2 familias con 4 niños a su lado). El buffet bastante escaso (pocas cosas) y con poca variedad.

La verdad que el hotel me pareció muy bonito, la recepción fue muy correcta y la ubicación muy buena porque íbamos a Port Aventura.
El desayuno muy variado aunque había muchísima gente a primera hora y era difícil conseguir tostarse el pan. Después de ese momento en hora punta se despejó un poco y genial.
El desayuno sin gluten muy rico y bastante cantidad. El personal muy muy amable.
La cena no la encontramos tan variada, quizá porque llegamos sobre las 21h y ya había pasado mucha gente.

Hotel en buena hubicacion,cerca de la estación de tren, se nota ha sido reformado. Personal todos muy amables, la zona de la piscina tiene bastantes hamacas y bonita.
To improve would be the food, the breakfasts were repetitive, in the dinners the dishes were not bad, but some dishes were very simple. It is understood that it is difficult to cook for so many people.
A mejorar sería la comida, los desayunos repetitivos, en las cenas los platos no es que estuvieran mal, pero algunos platos estaban muy simples. Se entiende que es difícil cocinar para tanta gente.

El parque de Port Aventura genial.
The rooms were dirty. Lots of partying at night in the hotel and difficult to rest. We had to call reception several times. The buffet was scarce and repetitive, practically the same every day. Very focused on foreigners and little Mediterranean food.
Las habitaciones sucias. Mucha fiesta por la noche en el hotel y difícil descansar. Tuvimos que llamar a recepción varias veces. El bufet escaso y repetitivo, prácticamente lo mismo todo los días. Muy enfocado al extranjero y poca comida mediterránea.

Está muy bien situado, puedes ir andando a Port aventura y te ahorras el parking. Aconsejable aparcar por los alrededores y no mover el coche. Totalmente céntrico
The staff, with some exceptions, seemed to be angry all day and the beds and pillows have given everything, time to change them. And the food, little variety although tasty, which is the important thing.
El personal, salvo excepciones, parecia que estaba todo el día enfadado y las camas y almohadas han dado todo, hora de cambiarlas. Y la comida, poca variedad aunque rica, que es lo importante

Localización estupenda. Todo muy limpio.
The only bad thing I can say is that very little consideration is given to celiacs. They give you gluten free bread but without toast
Lo unico malo que puedo decir que se tiene muy poco en cuenta a los celíacos. Te dan pan sin gluten pero sin tostar
