Find your perfect holiday

A characterful seaside spot

A prime spot on the Catalan coast and just an hour from Barcelona, Pineda de Mar holidays are all about beach culture, with a number of inviting bays and calm Mediterranean water to dive into. Dwarfed by a dramatic mountain backdrop and surrounded by a carpet of protected greenery, this charismatic seaside town is totally captivating. You’ll find it has retained all the charm of a quintessentially Spanish village – sun-bleached buildings are topped with terracotta-tiled roofs, and sun-dappled terraces make the perfect setting for plates of tapas.

From the manicured flower beds and miniature urban parks to the fantastically preserved centuries-old farmhouses, it’s a joy to explore, even if you’re travelling out of season. For active types, holidays to Pineda de Mar offer volleyball, sailing, mountain biking and a host of water-based sports guaranteed to keep you busy. Meanwhile, laid-back evenings are made for sunset strolls along the palm-tree-fringed promenade.
