Tucked into one of the Costa Brava’s most photogenic bays, Elisabeth by the Sea enjoys a privileged spot in Tossa de Mar. Three pretty beaches curve around the medieval old town, crowned by ramparts and towers, while pine-cloaked hills frame the horizon.

From the hotel it’s a short stroll to the seafront promenade and the walled Vila Vella, where narrow cobbled lanes hide tapas joints, candlelit bars and sweeping lookout points. Day trips are easy too – Girona’s Gothic architecture and Barcelona’s big-city buzz are both within reach for a culture fix between beach days.

Beach: approx. 100m
Tossa de Mar resort centre (shops, bars, restaurants): approx. 400m

Local area highlights:
• Medieval Vila Vella old town & castle viewpoints
• Platja Gran and nearby coves for swims and boat trips
• Easy day trips to Girona, Figueres and Barcelona

Evenings at Elisabeth by the Sea centre around Mediterranean flavours and rooftop sundowners.

Pandora Restaurant
A stylish à la carte space serving a mix of Spanish and local Costa Brava dishes for dinner. Expect seasonal ingredients, seafood, and contemporary Catalan twists, with a smart-casual dress code in the evenings.

Pique Nique Rooftop Bar & Pool Bar
The rooftop pool bar is open roughly 12:00–23:00, serving fruity cocktails, chilled wines and refreshing soft drinks with views over Tossa’s tiled rooftops and the sea beyond. It’s the natural gathering spot for sunset.

Please note: a smart dress code may apply and facilities between restaurants and bars may vary. Reservations may be required and a supplement may be payable depending on your board arrangement. Information is based on the previous season and may be subject to change.

The hotel’s social heart is the rooftop terrace, where a sleek freshwater pool is edged with cushioned sunbeds and parasols. It’s perfectly pitched for lazing with a book by day and lingering over sundowners as the sky turns coral in the evening. Fresh pool towels are provided.

Down at the shoreline, Tossa’s beaches are an easy wander away – from broad Platja Gran with its postcard castle backdrop to smaller coves ideal for snorkelling or taking a boat trip along the rugged Costa Brava coastline.

Please note: pool facilities may vary by season and operating hours.
