Lloret de Mar is one of the best-known names on the Costa Brava, between Blanes and Tossa de Mar. Its reputation as a party destination tells only part of the story: behind the seafront promenade, you’ll find an old town with a Modernist church, Indianos’ houses, gardens on the cliffs and coves linked by coastal paths.
Choosing where to stay here means deciding how much atmosphere you want nearby and how much you’ll rely on a car. We explain the different areas and suggest six places that we’ve chosen one by one; you’ll find the rest on our page of places to stay in Lloret de Mar.
How to choose an area in Lloret de Mar
- The centre and Lloret Beach: the old town, seafront promenade and bus station are just a few minutes’ walk away. This is where you’ll find the most hotels and restaurants, as well as more nightlife in summer.
- Fenals: the neighbouring beach to the south, wide and family-friendly, linked to the centre by a coastal path.
- Sa Boadella and Santa Cristina: coves surrounded by pine woods, with few places to stay and plenty of peace and quiet.
- Canyelles and the hillside residential areas: towards Tossa, with houses and villas with pools. A car is almost essential here.
If you arrive by bus, stay in the centre; if you’re looking for peace and quiet, look towards Fenals or the coves; and if you’re travelling as a group, houses with pools in Canyelles make the car journeys worthwhile.
Hotels and hostels in the centre
The centre has most of the places to stay and four of our picks. Three are adults-only, an option sought by those who want to be close to the beach without the atmosphere of large groups.
Delamar 4*Sup-Adults only (18+)
A four-star superior hotel 300 metres from Sant Romà and 500 metres from the beach, with an outdoor pool and bar, a 24-hour gym and Mediterranean cuisine. Parties and stag or hen parties are not allowed, helping to maintain a peaceful atmosphere. There is no parking.
Gran Hotel Flamingo-Adults Only older 18 years old
About 200 metres from the beach, with soundproofed rooms featuring terraces, designed for a good night’s rest. The buffet breakfast includes vegan and gluten-free options, and there’s a gym with yoga classes. The Avana Rooftop terrace is only available with higher room categories, and nearby parking is paid.
Hotel Bella Dolores
A family-run hotel with refurbished rooms, 160 metres from Sant Romà, family rooms for three, children’s equipment and its own restaurant. Outside the summer season, reception closes at midnight; nearby parking is paid, and groups and stag or hen parties are not accepted.
Hostal Mary - ADULTS ONLY 18 AND UP
A simple adults-only hostel, 100 metres from the bus station and 400 metres from the beach: ideal if you’re arriving from the airport without a car. Rooms have air conditioning and free Wi-Fi. The upper floors are accessible only by stairs, there’s no parking, and the only cooking facility is a shared microwave.
Houses for families and groups
If you’re travelling with several people or want to cook, a holiday home gives you more flexibility than a hotel. We’ve chosen two very different options: one right in the centre and another with a pool near Canyelles.
Bella Lucía
50 metres from Lloret Beach, with three bedrooms and three bathrooms for six people, a kitchen with an oven and dishwasher, a balcony and a terrace. The upper floors are accessible only by stairs, there are quiet hours at night, and nearby parking costs extra.
La Marina
A 190 m² house with a pool, terrace and hot tub, 450 metres from Canyelles Beach, sleeping seven. Parking is free and pets stay at no extra cost. Check-in is from 16:00 to 20:00, with advance notice, and a cash deposit is required.
What to see and do in Lloret de Mar
In 2026, Lloret retains Blue Flag status for five beaches: Lloret, Fenals, Santa Cristina, Sa Boadella and Cala Canyelles. The last three are more secluded, with pine woods almost reaching the sand.
In the old town, the standout sights are the church of Sant Romà, with colourful Modernist ceramic domes, and the Museum of the Sea, in an Indianos’ house on the seafront. The Modernist cemetery, with its mausoleums belonging to Indianos’ families, is also worth a visit.
Santa Clotilde Gardens, with terraces and stairways overlooking the sea, sit above Sa Boadella. After severe storms, the town council may close them for safety, along with the Iberian settlement of Turó Rodó. If you’re visiting after rainy days, check with the tourist office first.
Coastal paths
The path between Lloret Beach and Fenals is a short walk with viewpoints, beneath Sant Joan Castle. Towards Tossa, the section between Canyelles and Cala Morisca, which crosses private land, has been closed since 2008; in 2026 the town council agreed on a new route, which is not expected to open before 2027.
When to visit Lloret de Mar
Everything is open and there’s plenty going on in July and August; May, June and September are the most pleasant months for combining beach days and walks. The main Santa Cristina festival takes place in late July, with a sea procession to the chapel, and the winter festival of Sant Romà is held in November. Many hotels close in the middle of winter.
Getting there and getting around
Lloret has no train station. From Girona Airport, about 30 kilometres away, there’s a direct bus to the bus station (route 613, which continues to Tossa), as well as services from Barcelona and its airport. The nearest train station is in Blanes, on the R1 Rodalies line, with a bus connection to Lloret.
By car, it takes a little over an hour to get there from Barcelona via the C-32 or AP-7. Parking in the centre is difficult in summer.
If you’re continuing along the Costa Brava, take a look at where to stay in Tossa de Mar, just a few kilometres away, and further north, where to stay in Roses and where to stay in Cadaqués. For an overview, see where to stay in Catalonia.
Frequently asked questions
Answers to the most common questions when planning a few days in Lloret de Mar.
What is the best area to stay in Lloret de Mar?
If you’re arriving without a car and want everything within walking distance, choose the centre: the beach, old town, restaurants and bus station are all just a few minutes away. If you prefer peace and quiet, Fenals is a wide, family-friendly beach linked to the centre by a coastal path, while Santa Cristina and Sa Boadella are coves surrounded by pine woods. For groups and families looking for a private pool, houses in Canyelles are a good alternative, although a car is almost essential there.
Are there quiet places to stay in Lloret de Mar?
Yes. Although the centre has plenty of nightlife in summer, some adults-only hotels don’t allow parties or stag and hen parties, such as Delamar, while others have soundproofed rooms, such as Gran Hotel Flamingo. To get away from the bustle altogether, look in Fenals, at the southern coves or in the hillside residential areas. The centre is also much quieter in May, June and September.
How do you get to Lloret de Mar without a car?
By bus. There’s a direct bus from Girona Airport, about 30 kilometres away, to Lloret’s bus station, and direct services also run from Barcelona and its airport. Lloret has no train station: the nearest is in Blanes, on the R1 Rodalies line, from where you can continue by bus. Once in Lloret, you can get around the centre on foot.
Is it easy to park in Lloret de Mar?
Not in the centre, especially in summer. Almost no central hotels have their own parking, so you’ll usually need to use paid private car parks, which sometimes have to be booked in advance. If you’re exploring the Costa Brava by car, consider a house in the residential areas, where parking is often included. For a few days at the beach in the centre, taking the bus is easiest.
Which beaches in Lloret de Mar have Blue Flag status?
In 2026, Lloret retains Blue Flag status for five beaches: Lloret Beach, in front of the seafront promenade; Fenals, the municipality’s other large beach; and three more secluded coves, Santa Cristina, Sa Boadella and Cala Canyelles. The award recognises water quality, safety, facilities and environmental management. The larger beaches are the most convenient for families; the coves, surrounded by pine woods, are quieter outside August.
