Lloret De Mar

Lloret de Mar is a hugely popular seafaring town on the Costa Brava. It’s located in the Selva county to the Northeast of Barcelona in Catalonia.  

Lloret del Mar literally has everything; its prosperous tourist trade makes it globally relevant. It’s beaches, bustle and proximity to Barcelona make it a perfect place to buy.

Lloret de Mar is the most popular destination on the Costa Brava and one of the most visited towns in Europe. A place built for travellers by travellers since the 18th century, when the town’s trade with the Americas meant that locals became affluent. Many commissioned spectacular houses in modernist and neoclassical styles. In the 1920s wealthy Barcelonians began to build summer houses there.  Then in the ’50s foreign tourists begun to flood the area and urbanisation began. By 1975, there were more than 200 hotels in Lloret, more than 400 bars and over 50 nightclubs.

The Lloret de Mar beach is 1.5 kilometres long and complimented by a strip of bars and restaurants with every possible offering under the sun. There are quieter beaches nearby and a walkway connecting the inlets and coves. Peace seekers can also appreciate the Santa Clotilde gardens.
