So, you want sunny beaches, bouncing nightlife, vibrant culture and heaps of outdoor adventures? Done. Make it a Lloret De Mar holiday on the Costa Brava.
With its Spanish sun, Spanish sea and Spanish beaches, Costa Brava’s Lloret De Mar delivers a timeless, fuss-free summer getaway.
Lay in the sun or enjoy the cool shade of pine tree groves at Cala Banys before grabbing your snorkel for a spot of rockfish spotting. At Canyelles, meanwhile, you can earn that sweat on your brow by surfing, paddleboarding, kayaking or waterskiing. Or just rent a hammock or beach umbrella and take a load off.
Lloret De Mar serves up a ton of art, architecture and history. Take the manicured Santa Clotilde Gardens. With lime trees, lakes, fantastic fountains and stunning statues, it ticks a lot of botanical boxes.
Then there’s the historic Old Town, where you can mosey under the mosaics at the colourful 16th-century Church of Sant Romà, which is all gothic glory and modernist amazingness. If you prefer your history a little (or a lot) older, head up to the ruins at Puig de Castellet — a fortified settlement that was inhabited for around 50 years during the third century BCE.
Beached out? Looking for an adrenaline hit? There’s plenty of action to be had in Lloret De Mar. Hop on a quad bike to start with a fun, four-wheel tour of the Costa Brava and, if your knuckles aren’t quite white enough after that, reach new heights with a bungee jump! Jump the 70m (230ft) from Lloret De Mar’s tower solo, or go for a tandem fall.
If you’re more of a hiker, the views from Lloret de Mar’s coastal trails are well worth the steps you’ll rack up on your smartwatch. Try Lloret de Mar to Tossa de Mar or Lloret de Mar to Blanes.

For the ultimate body-bronzing beach break, head for the Costa Brava between June and September. At this time of year, the mercury in Lloret De Mar lingers in the mid-20s while the clouds keep their distance from the sunny Spanish skies.
For a cheap holiday to Lloret De Mar, the off-season (between November and April) is usually your best bet. But with temperatures in the low teens, beach days may not be high on the agenda.
The sweet spots weather- and wallet-wise are the shoulder seasons in May or October. Temps may only be in the teens but the craggy coast and Catalan culture are as beautiful as ever.
