Map & location
La Pineda, Costa Dorada, Spain
Set in laid-back La Pineda, Golden Costa Salou sits just back from one of the Costa Dorada’s longest beaches. A palm-lined promenade runs the length of Playa de la Pineda, dotted with cafés, ice-cream stops and bars, perfect for evening wanders. When you want more buzz, lively Salou and the huge PortAventura World theme park are a short taxi ride away, while you still come back to a calm, adults-only base at the end of the day.

Inside the spa you’ll find an indoor heated pool (adults-only, spa access charge; usually heated from late March to early November). Pool towels are available with a refundable deposit.
