Beach House Barcelona Malgrat De Mar I

In the heart of Malgrat de Mar, this beach apartment sits steps from Malgrat de Mar Beach and Levante Beach. Minutes from the town centre and close to a string of Costa Brava beaches, it’s a pet-friendly, family-friendly base for sun and surf.

Two individually decorated guestrooms give a boutique, Mediterranean vibe — think fireplaces, Select Comfort beds and private furnished patios. Rooms include full kitchenettes (refrigerator, oven, stovetop), plasma/50-inch flat-screen TVs and iPod docking for easy chill-out evenings.

Wake up to sea-breeze mornings on the terrace or wander the garden. Stand-out perks include private patios, an arcade/game room and a kids’ playroom; concierge and babysitting are available (surcharge). Shuttle service to local spots runs for a fee.

Express check-in and check-out and luggage storage keep comings and goings smooth. A roundtrip airport shuttle is available 24 hours for a surcharge, and free self parking is onsite.

A grocery/convenience store on the property makes self-catering easy, and the in-room kitchens invite quick coastal meals. There’s also a picnic and barbecue area for casual outdoor dining near the sea.
