Why this destination is a must-visit
Curiosities of Santa Susanna: Pirates, Towers and a Green Oasis
Santa Susanna, on the Maresme coast (Barcelona), is far more than a classic sun-and-beach destination. Here, pirate legends meet modern holiday comfort in a setting that surprises at every turn.
-
An “invisible” wall against pirates
Santa Susanna boasts one of the highest concentrations of watchtowers along the Catalan coast — 7 of the original towers are still preserved. During the 15th and 16th centuries, Barbary pirate attacks were so frequent that locals built these towers to signal with bonfires and seek refuge. Today, some are integrated into private farmhouses, while others can be visited. -
The “Oasis of the Maresme”
Unlike other coastal towns dominated by concrete, Santa Susanna stands out for its smart urban planning. The hotel area sits by the sea, while the historic village rises toward the hills. Between them? Expansive green areas, fields and parks that create a true “natural resort” atmosphere. -
A destination with a Family Quality seal
Santa Susanna was the first municipality in Catalonia to receive the Family Tourism Destination certification. Everything is designed with families in mind — from the famous “Cuc” tourist train winding through town to playgrounds set right on the beach sand. -
Where the Tordera River meets the sea
Near Santa Susanna lies the mouth of the Tordera River, marking the edge of the Maresme region. This protected natural area reveals a completely different landscape, rich in vegetation and birdlife, offering a refreshing contrast to the urban coastline. -
A paradise for cyclists and sports lovers
Cyclists from across Europe flock here. Santa Susanna offers a high-level Bike Station and routes that connect sea level to the Montnegre-Corredor Natural Park within just a few kilometers. Start your morning by the Mediterranean waves and, within an hour, ride through oak forests 500 meters above sea level. -
Did you know?
Many historic Catalan farmhouses in Santa Susanna still preserve defensive loopholes and machicolations — authentic reminders of a time when living by the sea meant being prepared for pirate attacks.

Personal muy amable, lo mejor del establecimiento. Lugar tranquilo y piscina muy bien. Bien situado. A unos 10/15 min andado de la playa aunque hay un trenecito que pasa cada media hora que también te acerca.
Food very much aimed at foreign tourists although good. We missed a bit of variety. No pitcher/bottle of water at meals, you have to get up every time you want a glass. Meal times are too short for our usual habits.
Comida muy dirigida a turistas extranjeros aunque buena. Echamos de menos un poco de variedad. No ponen jarra/ botella de agua en las comidas, tienes que levantarte cada vez que quieres un vaso. Horarios de comidas muy justos para nuestras costumbres habituales.

Hemos estado una pareja con una niña de 5 años y nos ha encantado el parque acuático, las piscinas, el hotel en general. Las chicas de recepción excepcionales sobretodo Alba, pero todas super amables. Los currantes en comedor y piscina también la mayoría muy buena gente. Íbamos con malas expectativas por lo que decía la gente pero nada que ver a todo lo malo que han podido decir. Volveríamos sin duda.
To say something bad, it says that it has a hairdryer and they don't, I had to buy it in a Carrefour next door and the mattresses should be changed, they are not too comfortable.
Por decir algo malo, pone que tiene secador de pelo y no tienen, tuve que comprarlo en un Carrefour que hay al lado y los colchones deberían de cambiarlos, no son demasiado cómodos.

La atención de la gente que trabaja allí en general (animación, personal de comedor, personal de barras todos muy amables y atentos).
Few food options (at breakfast the fruit was practically non-existent, only a tray with watermelon). Wifi was spotty and slow. The mattresses on the beds were outdated, causing a very bad rest.
Pocas opciones de comida (en el desayuno la fruta era prácticamente inexistente, sólo una bandeja con sandía). El Wifi funcionaba de a ratos y lento. Los colchones de las camas estaban vencidos, provocando un muy mal descanso.

El personal del hotel
It is all adapted for foreigners, in the pool you could not swim because it was full of huge floats, to sunbathe you had to get up and be at 7 am in the pool, drinks of very low quality, repetitive food and very looking at foreigners. The mattresses were super uncomfortable. I expected something else being a resort. I will not return.
Está todo adaptado para extranjeros, en la piscina no podías nadar pq estaba llena de flotadores inmensos, para poder tomar el sol te tenías que levantar y estar a las 7 de la mañana en la piscina, las bebidas de muy baja calidad, la comida repetitiva y muy mirando a los extranjeros. Los colchones super incómodos. Me esperaba otra cosa al ser un resort. No volveré.

Lo siento pero nada, este hotel no es digno de estar en vuestra web
The treatment for not being English, I went to expose my complaints at the reception and they told me that if I did not like it I should leave, most of the waiters did not speak Spanish, it was a bad treatment and a bad experience.
El trato por no ser inglés, fui a exponer mis quejas en recepción y me contestaron que si no me gustaba que me fuera.La mayoría de camareros no hablaban castellano fue un mal trato y una mala experiencia
