What are the best beaches in Lloret de Mar?
There are five main beaches in Lloret de Mar, so you can take your pick depending on which sand spot tickles your fancy. Lloret is the town’s biggest stretch of coast, with 1.5km of soft sands, snack bars and watersports. Fenals Beach is the second largest in the area, with sunbeds and parasols, pedalos, banana boats, bars and ice cream kiosks to keep you refreshed. If you prefer more of a quiet, scenic setting for your sunbathing sesh, then give Santa Cristina a try, with its sheltered bay and surrounding woodlands, or head to Boadella Beach. This rocky cove is traditionally used by naturists, tucked a little further away from your standard tourist beaches. The steep walk is well worth it for the stunning scenery though, and boats don’t come into this beach, so you’re guaranteed relaxation. It’s even been used as a backdrop in some TV shows and films!
What are the top hotels in Lloret de Mar?
Hotels in Lloret de Mar have something for everyone, whether you're off on your annual family holiday or you're looking for a quiet couples escape. Gran Hotel Don Juan Resort is a top pick for us, with a gorgeous pool area, activities for the little ones and a choice of restaurants - you can't go wrong! Looking for a cool and contemporary base in a great location? The four-star Rosamar Es Blau is ideal for an adults-only break, set along the beachfront with a stylish pool deck and an ultra-modern feel, whilst Rosamar Garden Resort has everything you need for a fun-filled vacay with the kids - extravagant waterpark included. If simplicity is the key to your heart, then you'll love Els Llorers Apartments. Cosy accommodation, a vibrant pool area and a central location, all for a budget-friendly price - it ticks all the right boxes!
What's the food like in Lloret de Mar?
Lloret de Mar's food scene is all about Spanish and Catalan staples, with no shortage of paella, tapas and seafood. Keep an eye out for orada or dorada on the menu, which is gilt-head sea bream, often grilled or baked in salt. For something a little lighter, pan con tomate is a Spanish classic. Think crusty bread smeared with fresh tomatoes, salt and olive oil. Simple but delicious. You can also enjoy your foodie faves with a twist, such as fideuà - a Catalan paella which uses pasta noodles instead of rice, and if you're travelling out of season then it's the perfect time to sample some of Spain's more comforting dishes, like escudella, which is a traditional pork and vegetable stew. For authentic Catalan cuisine in a quality location, you have to stop by La Parrilla. You'll be greeted with tapas before being offered a menu of Lloret de Mar's most traditional dishes. Craving something a little more familiar? Pizzeria Marghe 1889 is actually one of the town's most popular dining venues, serving fresh, Italian-style pizzas with a range of toppings. If you're travelling with the kids then this is a guaranteed crowd-pleaser!
Where’s the best nightlife in Lloret de Mar?
If you're a group of party animals looking to dance day and night, then Lloret de Mar won't dissappoint. Find pool parties and buzzing beach clubs in the daytime where you can enjoy music and drinks under the sun. Once the sun sets, you'll find endless bars and clubs to invie you in. No matter what genre of music you fancy dancing all night to, there's a place for you. Some of the best nightclubs in Lloret de Mar include Disco Colossos, Millenium Party and Disco Tropics - all of which feature different party zones that you can go between dependent on your mood.
