4R Playa Park

Pitched up halfway between two stretches of Mediterranean coastline – complete with soft golden sand and inviting waters – 4R Playa Park is a top pick for a laid-back beach break. You’ll be just far enough from the buzzy centre of Salou to feel away from it all, while still having everything within arm’s reach. And if you choose to travel via Reus Airport, this hotel is around a 25-minute drive away.

You’ll be able to walk to the beach in about 10 minutes and the resort centre in 20. Beyond that the promenade stretches along the coast almost as far as the eye can see, so if you love a long morning walk, you’re in luck. If you’re not one for getting your steps in, you can resign yourself to a run of long, sun-drenched afternoons by the pool, with a book in one hand and a cocktail in the other.
