Catalonia is a destination that your family will remember fondly, thanks to the many experiences you will have together. When you glance through the photo album of your stay, you will still be able to laugh about the day you rode on a banana boat in Santa Susanna or you will remember the group of chamois you encountered while hiking through the Valls d'Àneu. In Catalonia, families have many things to do: in the summer or winter, at the beach or in the mountains. What do you prefer?
Taula, bathing suit, sun cream and ... family If you like the sun and the beach, water activities and the gastronomy of the coast, Catalonia is a safe bet. Family beaches are adapted to your needs, certified by officials of the Catalan Tourist Board (ACT). They have services, lifeguard stations if someone gets hurt, showers to clean off sand before going home and, best of all, they have beach bars. Because now that you’re here, you might as well stay to eat and take advantage of the day, right?
Another advantage of these beaches is their Blue Flag certification, which guarantees the environmental quality of the water. It is always reassuring to know that your children are swimming in clean water while they are doing water sports
Accommodation that makes it easy for you With all of your beach stuff, you don't want to carry around your stroller or portable cot too, right? That makes sense. At these beach destinations, there are hotels, campsites or flats that are designed to make life easier for families: they provide the cot, the high chair and even the stroller. Children can also camp on their own under the supervision of professional instructors if at any time you need to take a break. Come and try it.
Nature is better with family If you like the outdoors, nature and the mountains of Catalonia, we offer many opportunities to explore it and include all the services you may need when you travel with children.
To give you an idea: there are landscapes with a beautiful and biodiverse natural environment, both flora and fauna. This turns them into places where you can enjoy nature. In addition, there are entertainment options adapted to children of different ages: educational centres, adventure sports, freshwater water sports centres, ski resorts and accommodation with family rooms equipped with safety bars and soft mats in play areas. If you are still hesitating, all the services and facilities are certified by the ACT staff.
