Sun, sea, beach: top 10 resorts in Spain

Spain is a sunny country with unique charisma, colorful inhabitants, and beautiful beaches. Among the countless diverse places to relax, it’s so difficult to choose where to go on vacation. We’re relieving your headache and narrowing down the choice to the “golden” top ten! So, the best resorts in Spain!

Ibiza

For those who associate leisurely beach vacations with deadly boredom, God himself created Ibiza! The city is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Where is the best vacation in Spain by the sea with the coolest nightlife and sunset parties? Of course, here! A wide selection of nightclubs featuring famous DJs, Instagram-worthy landscapes—truly a paradise for energetic youth relaxation.

Salou

It’s convenient to take a day trip to Barcelona from here: the train journey takes about an hour. Salou is excellent for family vacations with young children. The water entry is gradual and sandy. Lifeguards are on duty at the beaches, and there are plenty of cozy taverns.

San Sebastián

One of the oldest cities in the Basque Country. Once a tiny fishing village, today it is a fashionable resort with high-class service.

Marbella

If you’re looking for beach resorts in Spain with children, Marbella is the optimal choice for your vacation! The city and its surroundings boast 23 beaches totaling 27 kilometers in length! Most of them have been awarded the “Blue Flag.”

Tenerife

If the mainland part of Spain is suitable for beach vacations from May to mid-October, in Tenerife you can enjoy summer any month of the year! And what about the black volcanic sand and the sound of the ocean! Clean, beautiful beaches, plenty of places to visit with children (water parks, zoos), well-developed infrastructure, and the same Spanish spirit.

Benidorm

A wide range of entertainment for active vacationers, developed infrastructure, and some of the best beaches on the Mediterranean coast.

Nerja

We talk a lot about resorts for young people and those who enjoy having fun, but what about introverts? Fear not! Nerja is your paradise. This small, cozy town will appeal to tourists who dream of enjoying nature, tranquility, and beautiful landscapes. An excellent place to disconnect from your phone and discover the beauty of slow living.

Torrevieja

Ideal for people who can’t tolerate heat: here, the air temperature rarely exceeds 25 degrees Celsius, and there are hardly any rainy days. The beaches are clean and wide. The highlight is the pink lake Salada de Torrevieja, which can rival the Dead Sea in Israel with its therapeutic properties.

Alicante

Another popular beach resort. Tourists appreciate it for its wealth of landmarks and beautiful beaches.

Tarragona

A picturesque city on the Costa Dorada coast. We recommend enjoying fantastic sunsets from the viewpoint called “Mediterranean Balcony,” sunbathing on beaches with golden sand… and drinking in local taverns renowned for their cuisine. And don’t forget to buy Jamón in small family shops. If describing the city in three words, its slogan would be: “Eat, Pray, Love!”
