Close to a diverse collection of Costa Daurada’s most popular attractions, Salou is a great base from which to explore the area. With Levante Beach and Capellans Beach, two of the most popular places to visit, so close, where better to stay than here. If you're travelling with kids or want something a little more lively from your holiday, then Port Aventura Theme Park and Ponent Beach are not to be missed.

Sitting just 6 miles (10 kilometers) to the southwest of Costa Daurada, Salou, a popular spot for visitors wishing to discover more of the region. This popular destination is also only around about 50 miles (80 kilometers) from Barcelona International Airport, making it a great spot from which to explore further afield than just the Costa Daurada region.

Want to get out into the great outdoors and experience the beautiful wildlife of the area? Why not plan a trip to the nearby parks and reserves. These are great places in which to relax. Inhale the salty air, skim rocks in the shallows and catch some sunshine at nearby the Cala de la Font Beach and forget your worries back home.

If you fancy working on your swing, take a trip to the Port Aventura Golf Course. This is a great course and a favourite with golfers from around the world. There also no better way to relax while also being active than golf.

Finding your perfect accommodation in Salou is easy. For a warm welcome, a comfortable nights sleep and great location, you'll be hard pressed to find better than Mercure Atenea Aventura, Vila-Seca, the Sol Costa Daurada, and the Hotel PortAventura.

Don't expect to find any decent places to eat, it's all chips burgers and stuff like that. Even though I like junk food, I was glad to get home.

I felt Salou was grubby in places. We had a meal and the food was not very good. there was a meal that we disputed to pay for and after leaving the premise were followed by a group of 8 people calling themselves security until we had to pay. not good
