Why holiday in Lloret de Mar?

South of Girona and north of Barcelona, breaks to Lloret de Mar offer a great way to discover the region of Catalonia. Whether you’re after getting back to nature, immersing yourself in history and culture or simply laying back on a sun lounger, this fishing-village-turned-holiday-hot-spot is the ideal backdrop. For families with children of all ages, there are plenty of kid-friendly Lloret de Mar highlights. In Fenals you’ll find kids entertainment in the welcoming food and drink venues. There’s even one of Europe’s biggest waterparks located nearby: Water World.

Lloret de Mar’s surrounding landscape offers Blue Flag beaches and plenty of places to cycle, ramble and explore to your heart’s content. In the resort centre, you’ll find plenty of shops, bars, restaurants and clubs. In fact, the nightlife here has earned Lloret the accolade of clubbing capital of Spain’s wild coast, also known as the Costa Brava. Home-from-home pubs serving all-day English breakfasts, colourful cocktail bars with happy hours and clubs that open their doors until sunset are all on the cards. Why not channel your inner pop star at a karaoke club or brush up on your dancing at a flamenco hall?

Beach holidays in Lloret de Mar

The shoreline of Lloret de Mar is made up of five main beaches, each with its own personality and charm. One of our favourites is the main Lloret de Mar stretch of sand and shingle, which offers stunning views of the Mediterranean Sea, a convenient location close to the resort centre and plenty of facilities and places to eat. Another popular beach – especially with families is Santa Cristina beach. The gently shelving sea here offers shallow waters that are great for paddling and playing with little ones, and the golden sand is great for sandcastles too. Here you’ll spot the 17th century Santa Cristina chapel – it’s worth a visit for the panoramic views of the Costa Brava alone. Another family favourite is Fenals beach. This golden crescent is over 750m long and surrounded by picturesque trees and cliffs. This is the beach to seek out if you want a laid back place to soak up the Spanish sunshine. You can also dive into watersports or visit a chiringuito – beach bar – for a refreshing drink and a tasty snack.

What to eat and drink in Lloret de Mar

From proper foodies to creatures of habit, there’s something for every taste in Lloret de Mar. You really can’t go wrong with the pubs and restaurants along the strip, starting from the resort’s main beach. If you’re looking for a welcoming venue to introduce you to Catalonian menus, look no further than La Parrilla. This restaurant is a popular choice with holidaymakers for its great value and great quality – we recommend the paella especially! To sample a uniquely Spanish drink, why not order a Clara? This tipple combines local beer and lemonade to create a refreshing, summery flavour that’s perfect for a hot day in the sunshine.

Visiting Lloret de Mar

Fun in the sun mixed with culture is a good way to sum up the Lloret de Mar holiday scene. What better way to combine the two than with an annual fiesta? Time your trip to coincide with the end of July and you’ll be treated to the procession to honour Lloret de Mar’s patron saint - Santa Cristina. Close to the beach of the same name, you’ll find the parade as it winds its way towards the chapel – there’s plenty of dancing and food, too. If you prefer to shop ‘til you drop, visiting in May or September is a must. These months host a few days of night shopping, where the boutiques and stores keep their doors open until late. The fun then moves to bars and restaurants nearby. These events often host fashion shows and live music
