Beaches and Coastal Resorts

The Spanish coastline is legendary for its golden sands and turquoise waters. From the bustling shores of Salou and La Pineda to the picturesque coasts of El Perelló and Vinaròs, there is a beach for every preference. Whether you want to lounge on a sunbed with a good book or take part in local watersports, the variety of resorts in regions like the Costa del Sol and the Balearics ensures you are never far from the Mediterranean sea.

Getting There and When to Go

Thanks to its proximity to the UK, reaching Spain is straightforward with regular package holiday flights departing from major airports including Manchester and Liverpool. Most travellers head out between May and October to make the most of the warm, dry weather. While the height of summer brings the most consistent sunshine, the spring and autumn months are ideal for those who prefer cooler temperatures for wandering through old town centres or enjoying outdoor dining without the midday heat.

Food and Things to Do

Spanish holidays are defined by a relaxed pace of life. Days are often spent enjoying the local promenade, visiting design-focused properties like the Villa Luz Design & Art Hotel in Gandia, or simply enjoying fresh seafood by the harbour. Each town has its own unique character; from the lively atmosphere of resorts like Benidorm and Torremolinos to the slightly more laid-back pace of places like Portocolom or Santa Eulària des Riu, there is always something new to discover.

Who it Suits

Spain is a versatile destination that fits almost any group. It is perfect for families who need kid-friendly amenities and easy beach access, as well as couples looking for a romantic escape or a relaxing coastal break. With a vast selection of resorts ranging from the popular Costa Blanca to the tranquil corners of the Canaries, it remains the most dependable choice for your next break.
