AQUA Hotel Promenade sits on Pineda de Mar’s long, palm-lined seafront promenade, with the railway line and sandy beach just across the road. The resort itself still feels authentically Catalan, with terracotta-roofed buildings, leafy plazas and a good choice of local bars and restaurants.

The coastal path and nearby woodland offer easy walks if you fancy a break from the beach, while the train makes day trips to Barcelona, Calella and Blanes refreshingly simple.

Pineda de Mar – Costa Barcelona, Costa Brava, Spain

The main buffet restaurant keeps things relaxed and family-friendly, serving breakfast, lunch and dinner with a mix of Mediterranean and international dishes. Expect show-cooking stations at lunch and dinner, plus handy touches such as microwaves and highchairs for little ones.

A seafront snack bar and lounge-style bar are open through the main season for light bites, coffees, cocktails and ice creams between meals – ideal when you don’t want to stray too far from the pool or promenade.

Smart-casual dress is usually requested in the restaurant (no beachwear at dinner). Opening dates and times, and any supplements, can vary by season and board basis.

The hotel’s outdoor freshwater pool is the social hub, framed by a sunbathing terrace with plenty of sunbeds and parasols. There are baby-changing facilities close by and pool towels are available for a small local charge, which keeps packing light.

The broad, golden-sand beach of Pineda de Mar lies just over the promenade and railway line, with lifeguards in season and plenty of space for families to spread out. The shallow shoreline makes it a popular choice for younger children and less confident swimmers.

Stay active in the well-equipped gym, which offers cardio machines, a free-weights area and a stretching zone (minimum age 16yrs). Organised activities such as aerobics, aqua aerobics, dance classes, darts, paddle and petanque run seasonally, balancing beach time with something a bit more energetic.

For downtime, the spa area (16+; charges apply) features a sauna, steam room, Turkish bath and a menu of massage and beauty treatments – a welcome treat after a day exploring coastal trails or Barcelona’s sights.
