Bask in the Beauty of Costa Dorada

The Costa Dorada, or “Golden Coast,” is one of Spain’s most captivating holiday destinations. Stretching along the northeastern coast of Catalonia, just south of Barcelona, this dazzling region is famed for its sun-drenched beaches, sparkling Mediterranean waters, and vibrant towns. With its unique blend of cultural treasures, family-friendly attractions, and gastronomic delights, the Costa Dorada has something for everyone. Whether you’re seeking a relaxing beach holiday, an action-packed adventure, or a mix of both, the Costa Dorada delivers an unforgettable experience.

Travelling from Ireland, the Costa Dorada is particularly appealing. With convenient flights from Dublin, Cork and Shannon into Reus Airport and a range of accommodation options, it’s a hassle-free choice for a holiday in the sun. Whether you’re traveling as a family, a couple, or with friends, the Costa Dorada promises a magical getaway that will leave you with lasting memories.

Golden Beaches for Every Taste

The Costa Dorada’s name comes from its golden sandy beaches, which stretch for over 80 kilometres along the Mediterranean coast. These beaches are the heart of the region, offering something for every type of holiday maker. Families will love the Blue Flag beaches, known for their safety, clean waters, and excellent amenities, while couples can enjoy quieter coves for a romantic escape.

Popular Beaches:

Salou’s Playa Llevant: A bustling beach with golden sands, sun loungers, and water sports, perfect for families and groups.
Cambrils’ Playa de la Llosa: A quieter spot with a laid-back vibe, ideal for those looking to unwind.
