The 4 best rated beachfront Hotels in L'Escala
Hostal Spa Empúries
If you're worried about the state of the planet and you're fully committed to sustainable options, don't hesitate to stay at Hostal Spa Empúries. And it was a pioneer in the European continent by obtaining in 2010 a very demanding ecological certificate, which is known as LEED.
This accommodation in l'Escala is on the beachfront, drawing special attention to how versatile it can be. The fact is that it offers guests a total of eight different types of rooms, admitting customers' pets if the corresponding supplement is paid.
You can choose between rooms with views of the sea or the beautiful garden that Hostal Spa Empúries has. In addition, some of them have a terrace. The most recommended is without a doubt the suite, although all the others also stand out for being spacious, cozy and comfortable. Whichever room you choose, you will have a desk, as well as a private bathroom.
Thanks to the secluded location of the beach on which Hostal Spa Empúries is located, specifically that of Portitxol, the tranquility of the area is maximum even in the middle of summer. In case you intend to explore the surroundings, a good idea is to rent an electric scooter or a bicycle, and you can request this service at the 24-hour reception.
If you want to swim in warmer waters than those of the Costa Brava, you can choose those in the pool that is in the spa of Hostal Spa Empúries. In it there is also a circuit with several showers to experience very different sensations from each other, as well as various saunas. Please note that access to the spa requires an additional fee.
This 4-star guest house has a well-equipped gym. After spending all your energy on it, you can recover it in any of the two restaurants, one gourmet and the other rather informal.
Hotel Riomar
Hotel Riomar, located on the Costa Brava at Carrer Riuet 3, CP 17130, is a charming family oasis that offers a cozy and tranquil atmosphere, just steps from the beach. Since opening, it has received praise for its extraordinary service and customer attention, where guests are treated like family.

Additionally, the musical events and activities hosted on the terrace add extra value to the experience. In summary, Hotel Riomar is the perfect spot for those looking to relax and enjoy a family-friendly environment on the Costa Brava.
Can Miquel
The location is very important when staying in L'Escala, since it is a fairly touristy municipality on the Costa Brava, if you choose a hotel that is too centrally located, it can mean difficulty resting. This is not the case with Can Miquel, a 3-star hotel whose location is excellent. Despite this, it won't be difficult for you to fall asleep at night. This is one of the reasons that have most influenced the fact that it has such good ratings, although the list of positive factors covers many other details that we will be discussing.
Before delving into other important aspects, it's time to continue delving into the location. Can Miquel is located in the vicinity of a beautiful beach that will amaze you. We refer to the one in Montgó. On the Costa Brava we are used to somewhat rugged and rocky aquatic areas, but this is not the case with this one. In fact, since it is made of sand, it is ideal for not only adults but also children to bathe in it.
Whenit comes to rest, you'll get it whenever you want, although at any time you can also join a trend that is usually evident in tourists staying at Can Miquel. We refer to exercising. In this sense, there are many alternatives at this hotel on the Costa Brava, from swimming in the outdoor pool to enjoying a game of tennis and even a mini-golf session that families love so much.
After you are exhausted exercising, it's time to recover your energy. To this end, there is nothing better than going to the Can Miquel restaurant where typical Catalan dishes are prepared. The quality-price ratio of this establishment is very good, and I can say exactly the same thing about the bar that the hotel has.
The rooms are comfortable, spacious and modern. You won't have problems connecting to the Internet from the room you book, because all of them have good coverage. Wi-Fi is free, but parking on site and/or staying with a pet does incur an additional fee.
Rallye Hotel
The Rallye Hotel, located on the beachfront of Costa Brava, provides an unforgettable experience thanks to its excellent service and prime location by the sea. Guests highlight:
- A high-quality restaurant that delights diners with well-crafted dishes and a cozy atmosphere.
- Delicious and varied breakfasts served on a lovely terrace, featuring options like cured meats and fresh fruits.
- Clean and comfortable rooms, some with breathtaking sea views.
- A friendly and attentive staff who ensure guests feel at home.
Some areas for improvement include updating common spaces like the dining room and reception. Overall, guests feel very satisfied and many plan to return.
