Magnolia Hotel

Set just one block back from Salou’s seafront promenade – and roughly 20 minutes' drive from nearby Reus Airport – this smart adults-only (16+) hotel makes an ideal base for a sophisticated and stress-free escape on Spain’s Costa Dorada. 

In less than five minutes, you can be sunbathing on the soft, golden sand of the palm-lined Platja de Llevant – one of the area’s finest beaches – or cooling off in the Mediterranean Sea. You can take a dip at the hotel, too, with an inviting outdoor pool open 24 hours a day. When you’re not unwinding on the beach or by the poolside, feel free to head over to the games room for some billiards, table football, table tennis or board games. 

Fancy taking your relaxation up a notch or two? Be sure to check out the spa, where you’ll find a Jacuzzi, a sauna and a steam bath, along with an enticing selection of massages and beauty treatments. As for your own personal retreat, the rooms here are all freshly renovated, and have been decked out in airy neutrals with smart finishes. 

Kick-start your mornings with a fresh and plentiful buffet breakfast at the restaurant, and stop by the poolside bar or the 24-hour lounge bar and café for a drink or a bite to eat later on.
