I know what you are thinking… should I visit Lloret De Mar? Lloret de Mar is a small Mediterranean beach town in Costa Brava, Spain. It is located only 75 kilometers away from Barcelona and 40km from Girona. It’s a perfect getaway from Barcelona, and a great place to stop on if you are touring the Costa Brava. I chose to stay in Lloret de Mar because, compared to other towns in the Costa Brava, Lloret de Mar is slightly bigger. As such, there’s a lot of hotel availability and hence cheaper prices. In simple words, you get better bang for your buck if you are staying here versus other perhaps more quaint but smaller towns like Tossa de Mar.
In this post I’ll walk you through my personal recommendations on what to see, do and where to stay in Lloret de Mar. Let’s start with things to do!
VISITING SAN AGUSTIN, GRAN CANARIA: THE ESSENTIALS
Transport / Lloret de Mar is compact and easy to walk around. Buses connect you to nearby beaches and towns, and day trips are doable by public transport. If you’re planning to explore inland or want more flexibility, a rental car is worth it — I use DiscoverCars. For airport transfers from Barcelona or Girona, WelcomePickups is a reliable pre-book option.
Tours / Some of the top activities in and around Lloret include:
Scuba Diving (no license needed)
Sunset Catamaran Cruise with DJ & Drinks
4×4 Guided Mountain & Coastal Tour
Stay / The best hotels in town include:
Rigat Park & Spa Hotel ($$$)
Casa Coco Boutique Hotel & Spa ($$$)
Hotel Cleopatra ($$)
Hotel Marsol ($$)
The 15th Boutique Hotel ($$)
Hostal Ribas ($)
Eat / You’ll find great tapas at La Lonja, seafood at Al Freskito, and Italian at Trattoria Da Paolo.
Connect / Stay connected with an eSIM — I use Sim Local (get 5% off with code TRAVELWITHPAU). Grab one here.
Get Insured / Unfortunately, things can and do go wrong when you travel. World Nomads offers coverage for more than 150 activities as well as emergency medical, lost luggage, trip cancellation and more.
