Ever since I was a child, my parents went on holiday to Portugal, but mostly also Spain. The beaches are so beautiful there and I remember that I was scuba diving for hours. I didn’t hear about Sitges before though, so that was a surprise. But it definitely looks like a nice surprise, the beaches look stunning! So thanks for writing a blog post about this, I will have to save up for my next holiday!
Most people think of Barcelona and not Sitges. They are very close. Sitges Spain has so many wonderful beaches, restaurants and things to do. I think you will enjoy. Please let me know if you need any additional information.
I have been to Europe, but not Spain. Always wanted to go. There are so many options as to where in Spain to go, that one can get easily overwhelmed. Thank you for posting a very informative article. I love the section where you are listing the beaches. This is very useful. As always, your articles are full of details. The list of restaurants is very useful and helpful in planning your stay.
Thanks Anna, for taking the time to leave me comments. I love Spain. The culture, the people, the food and the amazing beaches. I am lucky to have relatives there, so it gives me a reason to go. I know you would enjoy Sitges Spain as well. Thanks for visiting my Sitges Spain Beach Hotels guide.
Good Morning!
I have thoroughly enjoyed your article on Sitges Spain Beach Hotels. You have done an awesome job in breaking down a list of the best beaches, sightseeing trips, restaurants, and hotels – and you even have a travel website right there to make your reservation!
Thanks to all your great information, I have planned my dream vacation – first, a sightseeing trip to Girona and Sitges from Barcelona With a Professional Guide, then it will be time to cool down at the more relaxing Bara Beach, and finally time to have some fresh cob, a Kinnebec potato and mushy peas at Merci Sitges Restaurant!
Your article makes me feel as if I am already in Spain, with all your very detailed information, and I am so ready to go!! Great job!!
Nettie
Thank you so much Nettie, for taking the time to leave me comments. I am glad you enjoyed and are now planning a great vacation to Sitges Spain!
Okay, this is such a comprehensive list of hotels and restaurants near Sitges Spain Beach. I’ll follow your suggestion to visit there in May next year since it will be a long holiday period in my country. By the way, I didn’t see any vegan or vegetarian-friendly restaurants on your list. Is there any that you can recommend? Thanks
Yes, there are plenty of vegan restaurants. I would try one of the following (or all :):
Costa Barcelona, Queenz Restaurant, Cinc Food Parlour, or Mama’s Picanteria
Thanks so much for visiting my Sitges Spain Beach Hotels guide.
Sitges looks absolutely spectacular!
I have travelled to Spain about 7 years ago and loved loved loved it:)
Madrid, Barcelona, Segovia, Seville, Jerez … thats where I viisted and found the people the food and the scenery amazing not to mention the history and all the monuments and cathedrals I saw…
If God allows me to travel back I will make Sitges one of my beach holiday spots.
Thank you for all this wonderful info on procing and food etc…
Awesome!
You are very welcome Janine. Thanks for visiting beach travel destinations and taking the time to leave me comments.
I’ve driven down that way before and it was absolutely amazing. Although, it was a little bit expensive down that neck of the woods, but definitely amazing. The whole coast of Florida looks amazing really. I have read several of your guides. Thanks for posting. I’ll put this on my bucket list next time I am down that way and stay awhile 🙂
Oh yes, I could not just drive thru this area without taking some time to spend here, enjoy the beaches, the seafood, and everything there is to offer. It’s worth planning a vacation here for sure. Thanks for the visit.
Awsome website!!! I love it. You have great videos of different places of Soain. It makes me want to go to vist. Also you have information on hotels and and the best time of the year to go visit.
Best of luck!!!!!
Thanks Claudia, glad you enjoyed!
I have never been to Spain and had never thought of visiting but after reading your article I have to think again. The places looks beautiful and very inviting.
I have a 3 year old and it looks like she can be very safe in any of these places. I loved it each time you said “family beach”, because as a parent you always want to travel with your children and it can be difficult to find safe places. Thank you, this was very helpful.
You are very welcome. I am glad you enjoyed your visit, and yes our children go everywhere with us. Great time for family time 🙂 The beach is always a draw for children 🙂
I wish to go to Spain and thank you so much for this beautiful article. Look no further. It’s really full of information. St.Tropez is one of the destinations I would like to visit, and I am happy you have explored Sitges Spain beach hotels. Thanks for the video! It looks INCREDIBLE! Can’t wait to go there!
Great! Sounds like you have your bags packed and ready to go!
I appreciate this travel information and learned quite a bit. Beach hotels in Spain get my attention since I currently live near the beach and I love the ocean. Also, I also enjoy finding accommodations near the beach when I travel. I also like to know about the best places to experience the cuisine in an area. Since we will be traveling to Portugal soon, you have inspired me to check out Spain as well.
Great Joseph! You would enjoy both for sure!
Wow, I have never heard of Sitges, the St Tropez of Spain. The way in which you describe it, it needs to be added to my bucket list! I have only been to Barcelona, and it appears that several of the tours are operated from Barcelona, so it must be quite close then. I do like your description of bohemian elegance. I live in Italy, so know how busy the beaches are in the summer, so a visit in June or September will be a far better time to avoid the crowds.
Oh wow, you live in a beautiful place! Yes, it is close to Barcelona. Probably not too bad of a flight from Italy either. For me it took a good 24 hours of traveling. Thanks for stopping by my Sitges Spain Beach Hotels guide.
Hey there. There are so many beaches to choose from. And I am glad to have all these options. Thank you very much for the handy info you have giving us in this post. You have helped me determine which beach in Sitges will be best for me and my family. Our focus is family beaches.
Great Abel, I know you and your family will have a wonderful time! Thanks for visiting Beach Travel Destinations.
oh wow. I have never been to Spain and I did not know that Spain was this beautiful. Me and my husband travel at least twice a year to a new place we have never seen before. Since last year April, we have not been to any place because of the Covid-19 pandemic. We do place to resume our routine was the travel restrictions are lifted and we have been looking for places to go to. I am definitely putting Spain on the list. I think I love the Barra Beach. I love how it looks and maybe because you said it is quieter and perfect for children. Thank you for that advice that is one wants to avoid crowds one can visit in May, June and September. I will keep that in mind.
Glad you enjoyed Boi. Please let me know if you need any additional information. You will find Sitges quite beautiful!
