At just an hour from Barcelona, La Pineda is a fine destination for an easy summer holiday. Sitting on the beautiful Costa Dorada (or, the Golden Coast of Spain), it's a calmer counterpart to its lively neighbor, Salou. It's a favourite hotspot of local Spaniards and has been evolving into a fun and vibrant resort since the fifties. The biggest draw to La Pineda is its collection of family friendly beaches that sprawl out in every direction. Here, the sands are golden and the sea is calm, providing the perfect backdrop for sunbathing and swimming. Elsewhere, there are numerous great restaurants serving fresh local dishes, stylish bars and cafes, and plenty of active adventures to get stuck into. You can explore all of this and more with our apartments in La Pineda, which are affordable and spacious, giving you everything you need to make the most of your trip.
La Pineda is famed for its excellent beaches that span the Costa Dorada. Here, the sands are wide and golden, with shallow waters that submerge into the sparkling Mediterranean Sea.
There are 3 beaches in the resort, which all connect up along a 3km stretch of sand. The water on all of them is particularly calm and clear, making them ideal for family adventures, and there are also tons of water sports opportunities for the more adventurous travellers.
Lining all three, there are restaurants, cafes, and bars to dip into when the sun reaches its peak, or simply when you get a little peckish. Our La Pineda apartments can be found spanning the length of the beach, giving you spectacular ocean views and easy walking distance to the sea.
From fun-filled adventures to laidback beach experiences, La Pineda has it all. You can get stuck into everything from our La Pineda apartments which are dotted along the coastline and throughout the town.
Based on the Mediterranean Coast, La Pineda enjoys a warm climate throughout the year -- particularly in the summer months.
During peak season, you can expect temperatures to level out between 28 degrees Celsius and 32 degrees Celsius. It's also particularly dry, with long, sunny days perfect for exploring. The beaches are very pleasant, too, with sea temperatures resting at around 23 degrees Celsius in the summer months. This makes the gentle waves ideal for swimming and water sports -- of which there are plenty of opportunities throughout the resort.
Because it's primarily a beach resort for summer holidays, La Pineda accommodation is made up of resort-style hotels that boast their own pools and activities. There are also a number of studio blocks around town that offer great views and a more independent way to explore everything on offer. In addition, you might find a budget hostel or two around, as well as a handful of traditional guesthouses and smaller, boutique hotels that offer a glimpse into the region's rich heritage.
Because it's just an hour from Barcelona and its airport, La Pineda is really easy to get to. Firstly, there's a bus that travels directly from the airport terminals to La Pineda, stopping off at some other great coastal resorts along the way. The buses leave regularly, but there are usually more in the peak summer months.
Alternatively, you can hire a taxi or a transfer from outside the airport. The journey time is around an hour depending on the time of day you travel. Prices vary depending on your final destination in La Pineda and the traffic, but they are usually very affordable and you get to see some of the great scenery along the way.
One of the best ways to get to La Pineda, though, is by hiring a car from the airport. This gives you ample time to explore at your own pace and stop off at cute towns and villages along the way. Having a car during your trip also means you can venture into the scenery that surrounds La Pineda and discover some of the more natural activities on offer.
