La Pineda hotels

Hotels in La Pineda

The charming and relaxed resort of La Pineda lies to the north east of Salou on Spain's sun-drenched Costa Dorada. With its sandy sloping beaches and rows of friendly seafront cafés and restaurants, this is a haven for families seeking a safe and enjoyable escape.

Beaches

There are actually three beaches you can savour from La Pineda hotels, but they merge into one glorious golden stretch of sand. Their position means that they are sheltered from the full force of the Atlantic Ocean and so invariably calm: all the better for a relaxing swim or a paddle with the kids. Another major plus in La Pineda's favour is the spotless cleanliness of the beach, and a Blue Flag rating to prove it.

Perfect Location

La Pineda is one of three popular little holiday resorts on the Costa Dorada, Spain's ‘Golden Coast'. It's quieter than Salou, the biggest of the resorts, but livelier than Cambrils, which is a sleepy fishing village and the smallest of the trio.

Discerning Spanish beach lovers have been holidaying here since the 1950s and more recently the wider world has woken up to the uncompromised balance of sun, sand, quiet sea and good facilities.

For those who fancy a break from all that relaxing, swimming and sunbathing, the location of La Pineda means that you are just one hour's drive from the culture and excitement of Barcelona. Here you can marvel at the unique architectural style of Gaudi, most dramatically apparent in the vast unfinished cathedral, La Sagreda Familia. Don't forget to take a walk through the stunning Parc Güell, where you can admire the riot of organic curves, colour and twisting mosaic reptiles that decorate the paths.

Activities

Enhancing the family friendly feel of La Pineda is the close proximity of two spectacular theme parks. Aquopolis is a vast waterpark right by the sea, complete with near endless slides and a dolphinarium. Not far away are the thrills of PortAventura run by Universal Studios™ and tailor-made for adrenalin junkies of all ages.
