A world of adventure

Heading on a summer escape to the Costa Dorada from Luton or Manchester airport? Fly direct to Reus instead of Barcelona and cut down the transfer time between the airport and your hotel. With flights from Luton and Manchester to Reus twice a week between April and October, it’s now even easier to holiday on the Costa Dorada.

The resort is popular with families and is the perfect place to make lifelong memories. Thrill-seekers especially love Ferrari Land, which boasts one of the fastest and tallest rides in Europe. But Port Aventura holidays aren’t just about the kids (or big kids).

For those who want some time to slow down, the picturesque backdrop and world-class wellness centre promise blissful relaxation. And with a variety of nightlife options, including a packed calendar of stage shows and firework displays, there’s plenty to enjoy after hours, from nearby clubs where you can dance the night away to a wide range of restaurants. Alongside some of the continent’s most daring rides, holidays to Port Aventura offer every kind of entertainment you could want in one enticing package.

    There are live shows and firework displays, and some great bars. For a really big night out head to nearby Salou where you’ll find clubs, pubs and plenty of karaoke on offer.
    Barcelona is only an hour away and easily accessible. It’s well worth a visit to check out the city’s cultural riches, from world-renowned architecture to fascinating museums.
    If you're mainly going to Port Aventura for the theme park, you're likely to find bigger crowds in the school holidays. If you can go in May or September, it's pleasantly warm and not so busy. Visit the park in midweek and towards the evening when you'll be able to see fireworks. You can also choose a hotel with a gym or relax in the wellness pools around the resort. Between June and August is the best time for the beach or, in spring and autumn, you might combine a spa retreat with some day trips.
    You can choose from a wide variety of local and international eating options, from authentic Mediterranean seafood to Italian restaurants, steakhouses, noodle bars and Mexican taco joints.
    Port Aventura is in the northeast of Spain, on the Costa Dorada or Golden Coast of Catalonia. If you drive south from Barcelona, it will take you about an hour and a half to reach the resort. You can also drive there directly in just 15 minutes from Taragona's Reus airport. The adventure theme park of Port Aventura World is a little inland, where you'll find six internationally themed areas. It's about ten minutes by car from the resort town of Salou, which has several big sandy beaches and an interesting variety of bars and restaurants.
    Port Aventura is Spain's biggest theme park, but you also have hotels, shops and restaurants. There are special events at Christmas and Halloween. As well as its five hotels, you can play at any of three golf courses, get direct access to the resort's own beach or visit the Caribe Aquatic water park. You'll be able to discover how it feels to drive a Formula 1 Ferrari and enjoy some high-speed fun in the Ferrari Land Park. Port Aventura is also only a step away from the sea.
    Port Aventura is only five minutes' drive from the seaside resort of Salou, and it's not expensive by taxi. You could also board a regional train, which will take from three to 10 minutes and runs 10 times a day, or the bus, which runs every five to 10 minutes. You can walk there in 20-25 minutes or go by bike in only a few minutes of peddling. Your kids will no doubt prefer to take the little road train, which goes about every 15 minutes and stops at all the main hotels.
    Port Aventura is a good choice for a holiday when you want all your options in one manageable location. You can choose from hotels for couples, families or groups, and plan your holiday around your level of activity. You can go on thrilling roller-coaster rides or white-water rafts, or relax in the centre's own water park. Here you'll find a tropical artificial beach set among waterfalls and palm trees. You can see fireworks and entertaining shows in the evenings, or go to Salou for some lively bars and restaurants. You can also reach Barcelona quite easily for a day trip.
    No, you won't need a car, even if you want to leave the resort, unless you want to go off-piste into the surrounding region. You can get around very easily on foot, by bike or by public transport, and there's a little road train that is free for small children. You'll probably be spending most of your time enjoying the rides and theme parks but, in an hour and a half by train, you can also get to Barcelona. Here you can indulge in some high-end shopping or see the famous cathedral and modern architecture of Antoni Gaudi.
