Salou by Air

Salou

If entertainment is what you want from your holiday, Salou has it in spades. Set on Spain’s Costa Dorada, it’s got Europe’s biggest theme park on the doorstep and a waterpark just up the road. The place also sets a lively pace at night, with a big choice of bars and clubs. There’s plenty of relaxation to be had, too, though, on the town’s golden beaches.

A duo of beaches

You’ve got a choice of 2 main beaches here. On the west side of the port, the kilometre-long Playa Ponent is a spacious sandy stretch dotted with cafés. On the east side is the slightly longer Playa Llevant, which tops things off with a gym, volleyball and children’s playground. Watersports come as standard on either side.

Waterparks and theme parks

Salou is home to Karting Salou, where you can race around the go-kart track or bungee rocket from 0 to 180 kilometres an hour in 1.3 seconds. Over at Aquapolis, on the way to neighbouring La Pineda, there are waterslides for all the family. And the mega PortAventura theme park is just 20 minutes away.

Playa de Oro Park

The three star hotel Playa de Oro Park is situated on a hillside, some 200 metres from the beach, and 750 metres from the resort cente in Salou. An impressive hotel with a good holiday atmosphere which has something to suit everyone, no matter what age for an enjoyable holiday without stretching the budget.
