With 100km of sun-drenched sands, Spain’s ‘Golden Coast’ definitely lives up to its name. You won’t find wild party resorts here, instead the fun is kept family-friendly, with theme parks and waterparks next to fishing villages and picturesque waterfronts – the perfect mix for summer holidays. Salou is the liveliest spot, with Cambrils and La Pineda a little quieter but just as beautiful. All boast brilliant beaches – many of them Blue Flags - and with 300 days of sunshine a year, every day is a beach day!
Costa Dorada holidays are all about kicking back, relaxing and spending quality time in the gorgeous Spanish sunshine. There are fiestas and entertainment on almost every week during the peak season and the warm year-round climate means it's always a great time to take the short flight and lounge on the golden sands of the Costa Dorada. Ebro Delta, a wetland reserve to the south of Costa Dorada, attracts millions of avian guests such as herons, kestrels and larks to its marshes and saltpans every year. Colonies of Flamingos roost here too, making it a top draw for birdwatchers and nature enthusiasts who can also visit an aquarium and eco-museum.
Resorts abound and whether you're looking for cheap last minute holidays, fantastic 4-star hotels, self-catering holidays or all-inclusives for the family, the Costa Dorada is a sure hit. Mix in fantastic Spanish and European cuisine, family-friendly restaurants and local bars and holidays to Costa Dorada are hard to beat.
Salou is a magnet for tourists who love golden beaches and family fun. There are rides, a long promenade, restaurants and beach bars lining the lovely Salou beachfront. A perfect stop on the Costa Dorada’s ‘Golden Coast’.
See more of Spain on your holiday and take a trip to the buzzing city of Barcelona, located just down the coast.
Start with a visit to the Nou Camp football ground for sports lovers and move on to the famous Gaudi cathedral, the bustling La Ramblas for shopping and the gothic quarter for tasty tapas.
Spend your free time soaking up the sights and be sure to spend time exploring the city’s spectacular sands, food stalls and street performers.
The closest airport to the Costa Dorada is Reus. There are buses going to and from the main resorts several times a day. A taxi is a convenient option, with transfer times of between 15-30 mins. Once in resort, you’ll find it easy to get around by bus and taxi – Cambrils, Salou and La Pineda sit just minutes apart along the coast. There’s also a good train service connecting Cambrils, Salou and Tarragona.
This stretch of coast is serviced by the Bus Plana coach, which runs between the airport, resorts and PortAventura. Be sure to check the timetable though, as they run a limited service daily.
Car hire is available and roads are good, but it’s unlikely you’ll need a car for holidays on the Costa Dorada, as the resorts and attractions are well connected by train, bus and taxi.
