Best Beach Clubs in Barcelona for a Relaxing Summer
The concept of a beach club in Barcelona is great for having a relaxed day next to the pool or the beach.
As you know, Spain is very popular between Spaniards and other Europeans as a holiday destination. Beaches and calas can get incredibly crowded, so much so that sometimes people have to change locations to get a decent spot.
A nice second option (or first if you prefer) is beach clubs. Beach clubs in Barcelona are indeed way more expensive than simply going to the beach, but for the price, you secure a beach chair or bed, towels, bathrooms, and a pool and get food right where you are.
After reading this article, you will have nine new beach clubs to visit during the summer. Remember that most of them you have to book! Otherwise, you will be left out.

Whenever I go to Barcelona, I drink at the Alàbriga Sea Club. Close to Sant Feliu de Guíxols, you can admire this building resembling a boat. This is a sea club and a luxurious Hotel & Home Suites, which opened a year ago.
Alàbriga Sea Club is an hour away from Barcelona’s city center. This beach club is open to the public (not only to guests), which is incredible. It was created to attract people from Costa Brava and Barcelona.
They have a multifaceted offer ranging from lounges convertible into tables at lunch or dinner with a fantastic pool overlooking the sea. During the day, you can sunbathe, contemplate the beach of S’Agaró, or have one of their incredible cocktails.
You should try their menu of Mediterranean dishes ranging from fish to rice.
At night, it is time for candles, live music, and first-rate disc jockeys until two in the morning.
3. Go Beach Club 🍹

A post shared by NOMADA BEACH SITGES (@nomadabeach)
Another of my favorite beach clubs is the one next to the Far de Sant Cristòfol beach, where you’ll find a relaxing chill-out atmosphere, mojitos, and healthy activities.
I thought their goal was very interesting, and you needed to know; “To create memorable moments for those who want to get away from the mundane,” they promise.
The best thing is the location, as the lighthouse is the light of nomads and San Cristobal, the patron saint of travelers. Here you will find activities for the whole day, from detox juice to start the day to the midday vermouth and spectacular dishes.
You should try their bravas or fresh sea bass, which they offer throughout the day. You can do yoga, massage, or a popular açaí bowl. Groups of friends and families alike come here.
This boho beach club is very conscious of fair trade and environmental respect. They show it with reusable cups and garbage collection campaigns on the beach.
They offer great plans such as monologues on Mondays and music from Tuesday to Saturday; both live and with DJs who bring rhythms from Cuba and Africa. You can even spend the night in its camping bungalow, El Garrofer, in safari tents, wooden lofts, or teepees.
Attention! When you call or write to make your reservation, remember to ask how long the beach bed will be available. The time may not be what you expect, so doing all the questions first is better.
6. Vai Moana 🌴

If you are one of those lovers of frozen margaritas or daiquiri Vai Moana is the perfect place for you. After a day of surfing at Bogatell beach, as the beach club is right on the beach, this is the best option to invade you from the world for a few hours.
The Becah club is located in the neighborhood of El Poblenou. Vai Moana is full of Easter Island decorations. It is a place where you can relax while listening to the lapping of the waves, giving you the most authentic experience possible.
This beach club in Barcelona is a perfect place to eat incredible Mediterranean gastronomy. On the menu, you can find healthy options (for example, nothing is fried) and a menu for kids.
Vai Moana is one of the few places in Barcelona to have a menu specifically designed for children, with options such as macaroni or mini hamburgers, because Bogatell beach is popular with families. Of course, they also have an adult cocktail selection on their menu.
More than a beach club, Vai Moana in Barcelona is a chiringuito with hammocks and beach chairs for clients.
7. Salt Beach Club 🌊
📍Passeig del Mare Nostrum, 19
💻 Only available in summer

A post shared by W Barcelona (@wbarcelona)
Of all the beach clubs I’ve recommended, this one is my favorite due to its incredible views as it is located on the jetty gained to the sea by the W hotel.
Thanks to this you have an astonishing view of the Barcelona coastline.
I’m sure you will fall in love with the feeling of a cocktail with your feet in the sand and the rhythm of DJ music. From here, I’ve seen one of the most incredible sunsets ever. If you want to see the sunset, I recommend you come with time in advance as it will be crowded.
It is the perfect option after a long day of sightseeing. Delighting yourself with the play of sky and sea colors at sunset is simply spectacular. I can assure you this is the setting for unforgettable days and nights.
If the wait for the sunset is long, do not worry because you can have dinner there. Salt Beach Club, their menu offers salads, hamburgers, and cocktails so that your stay is even better. Many of the recipes are inspired by Californians.
You should try the ‘mizuna,’ Japanese mustard greens with marinated red prawns, fennel, grilled carrots, Jerusalem artichokes, hazelnuts, and grilled tomato vinaigrette. They’ve also got a good burger menu with loads of toppings, such as the Salt, 300g of Catalan beef, with breaded mushrooms stuffed with cheddar cheese.
A chiringuito is a beach stall where people go to eat, we have that word all around Spain, and we thought it was essential for you to have them in this list.
8. Chiringuito Escribá 🏊

💻 Book your table
Escribá is one of the best pastry chefs in Spain. But who says a family of pastry chefs can’t make a good paella?
They have opened a chiringuito run by the Escribà family. Many people say that their dishes are “indescribable.” You can eat various rice dishes, seasonal seafood, and excellent appetizers (the cured Spanish ham ‘airbags’ are a definite highlight).
As I’ve said, Escribá is one of the best pastry chefs in Spain, that is why you should leave room for dessert because you can’t leave the table without having tried one of the cakes or sweets prepared by the family’s bakeries.
9. Chiringuitp Pez Vela 🐟

Chiringuito Pez Vela is my must-see every time I visit Barcelona. It is located in the W hotel, next to Salt beach club. Depending on your plan, you can go to the beach club or the chiringuito, all in the same place isn’t this great?!
It is in an incomparable seafront setting with simple cuisine built around fresh, grilled fish, rice dishes, and salads. It is beautiful as it is a deluxe chiringuito.
It is said that this beach bar pays tribute to the authentic beach bars of the pre-Olympic days. It is a fantastic place to drink and listen to music.
Did any of these beach clubs in Barcelona catch your eye? I know these places are not the beach, but you must admit it is a fun and comfortable plan.
If you decide to go to any of these, comment! We would love to add your experience to this article so more people know what to expect from these beach clubs in Barcelona.

The beaches of Gava and Castelldefels – Costa Dorada
While on vacation in the Costa Dorada, it is simply impossible not to go to Barcelona for at least a day. And on the way back, you can stop by the beaches of Gava or Castelldefels, which are quite deservedly nicknamed “children’s” because of the gently sloping entrance, shallow sea and gorgeous sand. These two beaches are less crowded than the beaches within Barcelona, although they are fast, convenient and far away. It is worth stopping by here on the way to the Costa Dorada, if, on the contrary, you are relaxing in Barcelona and going, for example, to Port Aventura. Read more about the beaches below.
Gava Beach
Just behind El Prat airport (so that you can get here even if you have a long transfer at the main Barcelona airport) is Gava Beach.
There are three ways to get to the beach from Barcelona: by bus, commuter train or car.
Buses to the Gava beach – L94 and L95 – run from Plaza Catalunya. Considering that several bus stops are concentrated here at once, choose the one on which these bus numbers are indicated. You can pay the fare both with the driver and get there with a travel card.
If you want to take the suburban train, you need to leave from Sant Estasio station, line R2. Trains leave every 10 minutes.
By car, you need to go to Gava beach along the C32 highway, the journey time is no more than 20 minutes.
Note: Tips for renting a car in the Costa Dorada
Gava beach is a very pretentious place. Artists, politicians, businessmen love to relax here. At the same time, the beach is municipal, that is, completely free. Its length is about 3 km. It is quite wide, sandy, clean, with a shallow and gently sloping bottom. So, with kids it will be just fine here.
The sea warms up in the Gava area also faster and better than in neighboring resorts. Precisely because it’s small here.
The beach is equipped with showers and toilets. You can rent a sun lounger and an umbrella.
If you want more amenities, Tropical Beach Club is located on the beach. On weekdays, admission costs 17 euros, on weekends – 25 euros. For this money, guests have access to the pool, sun loungers and umbrellas, a sauna, a gym and private access to the sea.
Castelldefels beach
Castelldefels beach is located just behind the Gava. You can get there in the same ways: by bus L95 (goes to the city center), which runs through Gava, by train (line R2) to the Plaja de Castelldefels stop, or by car along the C32 highway.
The length of the beach is 5 km. The bottom is shallow, the entrance is gentle, the beach is sandy. On weekdays it is calm and not crowded, very pleasant atmosphere.
Approximately every 500 meters on the beach there are traditional Spanish cafes – cherengito.
All of them are equipped with a playground so that the children do not get bored while their parents eat. In the evenings, the Cherengito hosts concerts by local Catalan bands and performers. The average check in such eateries is 12-15 euros per person. But the most interesting thing is that one of the cherengito belongs to the famous football player Luis Suarez. The cafe is called Chalito. Leonel Messi and other stars periodically appear here. The cafe is open from 9.00 to 0.00.
Castelldefels beach
Note
There are always information boards on the beaches. Pay attention to them, as they clearly spell out what is possible and what is not on the beach. For example, no animals are allowed on Castelldefels.
Police and emergency numbers can be found on the same stands.
Along the beaches of Gava and Castelldefels there is a whole constellation of hotels, villas, cottages where you can stay.
The best holidays in Barcelona: where to stay and what to see
Barcelona has been attracting the attention of holidaymakers from all over the world for many years.
And among them there are many Europeans and residents of the CIS countries. Such popularity of the capital of Catalonia is not surprising, because Barcelona is not just a beautiful city that you want to visit. It has a mild climate, clean beaches, great music, delicious cuisine, rich history, amazing architecture and much, much more. We can talk endlessly about the advantages of Barcelona, and every tourist will invariably find here something that will make his heart beat faster.
Most tourists go to Barcelona for a beach holiday. However, the city is able to offer you much more opportunities than it seems at first glance. Any trip to the capital of Catalonia invariably turns into interesting excursions, shopping, attending sports events, getting to know the local culture, architecture and music. Do not forget about the opportunity to ski on the majestic mountain slopes.
Choosing the best holiday in Barcelona
To make your holiday in Barcelona the most memorable, you must first decide on the purpose of your visit to the city.
Among the tourists there are the following trends in visiting the capital of Catalonia:
- In summer, most people come here for a beach holiday. Barcelona is known for its warm climate, clean beaches and great resorts.
- In winter, shopaholics come to Barcelona from all over the world. At this time of the year you can meet people from all over Europe.
- Interesting excursions are held here throughout the year. Therefore, to visit the sights of the city, you can choose any time of the year.
Naturally, the most popular is the beach vacation in Barcelona . And this is not surprising, because there are many hotels and resort complexes along the entire coast of the Balearic Sea. Such diversity can simply confuse and turn your head. It is often difficult to choose the most suitable hotel for your vacation. There are two possibilities here:
- Stay at a hotel located not far from the beach in the city itself.
- Go to the suburbs of Barcelona, where there are many popular resorts.
| Popular resorts in Barcelona | |
| Resorts in the capital of Catalonia | Suburb |
| Barceloneta | Costa Dorada |
| Bogatell | Costa Brava |
| Nova Ikaria | Costa del Garraf |
| Sant Sebastia | Costa del Maresme |
Separately, the suburbs of Barcelona should be noted. Each of them is an independent resort region, which has several beaches and all the conditions for a comfortable stay. If we talk about seaside holidays in Barcelona , then tourists should pay their attention to these regions.
Holidays in Barceloneta
Barceloneta is often referred to as Little Barcelona.
This seaside area is highly popular with tourists and is part of Barcelona’s Old Town. Barceloneta stretches along the coastline, having an almost triangular shape and bordering on the port of Vel, the port of Olympique and the La Ribera quarter, which also belongs to the Old Town.
It is noteworthy that until about the middle of the XVIII century. Today it is a thriving tourist area that is famous for its beaches. In addition, there are residential areas. All this led to a developed infrastructure, the presence of hotels, well-groomed beaches, numerous restaurants and cafes. There is also a market, a park area, a museum and several attractions.
In total, there are 4 beaches in Barceloneta, which make up a single beach strip. The beaches are wide, with fine clean sand. They are cleaned regularly. A wonderful promenade stretches here, which is great for leisurely evening walks during your vacation in Barcelona .
Consider the beaches of Barceloneta in more detail:
- The most famous beach of Barceloneta is Sant Sebastia. This is the western beach, the hallmark of which is the huge glass sail of the five-star W Barcelona hotel. Not far from the beach there is a small park and a marina.
- Barceloneta. Its length is about 500 m with a width of about 80 meters, so there is enough space for everyone. A popular holiday destination among city visitors.
- Sant Miguel. Another sandy, wide and well-equipped beach. Its promenade is one of the liveliest places in Barcelona.
- Somorrostro. The last in the chain of beaches. Along it are many restaurants and small cafes. In addition, there are various entertainment venues, such as nightclubs, and even the Barcelona casino. By the way, on this beach there is a sculpture “Goldfish”, which is included in the list of attractions in Barcelona.
This is the western beach, the hallmark of which is the huge glass sail of the five-star W Barcelona hotel. Not far from the beach there is a small park and a marina. Bogatell Beach
If you are interested in a calm and measured vacation in Barcelona , then Bogatell Beach can be considered the “golden mean”. It is more suitable than any other for ordinary bathers who just want to relax on perfectly clean golden sand and renew their tan.
One of the features of Bogatell is that it is a municipal beach. Accordingly, staying here is absolutely free for everyone. You will only have to pay for additional services. For example, umbrellas, sun loungers, the rent of which will cost you an average of 5-6 euros. The territory of the beaches is equipped with toilets, safes for storing small items, changing rooms, showers with fresh water. Cafes and restaurants are located along the coastline.
Bogatell is about 650 meters long. The width of the beach is just under 50 meters. The beach was equipped for the 1992 Olympics, when a significant influx of tourists was expected. Therefore, in its vicinity there are several hotels from 1 to 4 stars.
Nova Ikaria beach
This beach is located next to Port Olympic, in the central part of the city. Nova Icaria is the most family-friendly beach in the capital of Catalonia. Therefore, having planned a vacation in Barcelona with children, feel free to stop at this option.
Nova Icaria offers tourists everything that is needed for a measured beach holiday – soft sand, clear water, convenient location. Yes, we should not forget that Nova Icaria is located in the center of one of the most picturesque cities in the world.
The beach is only 400 meters long. At the same time, it is never particularly crowded here. Due to the fact that the beach is separated from the rest of the coast by breakwaters, an atmosphere of solitude and tranquility is created here.
Not far from Nova Ikaria there is a green park with a beach. There are also play areas for children. The nearby Port Olympic has many restaurants and bars, as well as surf clubs where you can rent a variety of equipment. In addition, the beach is equipped for a comfortable game of beach basketball, volleyball and mini-football. Toilets, showers, changing rooms, drinking fountains should be noted as basic amenities.
