Sa Riera
Tossa De Mar | Costa Brava
⭐⭐⭐⭐
Sa Riera is a fresh, contemporary base in one of the Costa Brava’s most charming resorts. Moments from Tossa De Mar’s medieval old town and around a 10-minute stroll from the beach, this friendly 4-star hotel pairs clean-lined modern design with a relaxed Spanish seaside feel. Expect a smart outdoor pool area, rooftop terraces crowned with whirlpools, and flexible board options that work just as well for couples as for families.
Think whitewashed walls, clean lines and a splash of Mediterranean colour. Sa Riera’s contemporary design makes a smart backdrop to lazy pool days and balmy Costa Brava evenings. Start your morning with a relaxed buffet breakfast, wander down to Tossa’s sandy bay beneath the town’s storybook castle, then return to the hotel for sunset on the rooftop terrace and a soak in the whirlpool.
For couples or families keen to enjoy Costa Brava’s classic seaside charm with plenty of flexibility, Sa Riera delivers an easy-going mix of style and value. You’re around 600m from the beach and 300m from Tossa De Mar’s pretty resort centre, with its cobbled lanes and candle-lit bars. It’s approximately 45 minutes from Girona (GRO) airport.

Restaurants and Bars
Days at Sa Riera tend to orbit around the bright, modern buffet restaurant. Expect a mix of Mediterranean favourites and international classics at breakfast, lunch and dinner, with show cooking adding a bit of theatre to mealtimes. Highchairs and a microwave are available, which is useful if you’re travelling with younger children.
Between meals, the snack bar serves light bites and a range of local and international drinks, while the main bar keeps you topped up with everything from coffee to cocktails. Smart-casual dress is usually requested in the restaurant (no beachwear), and some services or opening times may vary by season and board basis.
Pool Areas and Beach
Outside, a freshwater pool anchors the sun terrace, with a separate children’s section that’s just right for younger swimmers. Sunbeds and parasols are provided around the pool, and you can pick up pool towels with a refundable deposit.
Head upstairs and you’ll find two rooftop terraces, each home to a whirlpool. One terrace is adults only, adding a quieter spot to read, sunbathe or enjoy a late-afternoon soak with a view over Tossa De Mar’s rooftops.
The main beach is about 600m away – follow the streets down towards the iconic medieval walls and you’ll reach a sweep of coarse golden sand with gently shelving waters and plenty of cafés and restaurants nearby.
Spa, Sports and Other Facilities
While Sa Riera doesn’t position itself as a full-on resort, it has all the essentials for a relaxing coastal break. Book a massage treatment to ease travel tension, then unwind by the pool or on the rooftop whirlpool terraces.
On the practical side, reception offers concierge-style assistance and luggage storage, handy if you arrive early or depart late. Around the property you’ll find free Wi-Fi to keep everyone connected, and Tossa De Mar’s seafront promenade provides a naturally scenic route for morning jogs or evening strolls.
