Tibu-Ron, Castelldefels

Castelldefels is 20 minutes south of the city, and it's the best area for value and families. Tibu-Ron is the reason most people come, and the paella is why.

Bastian, Barceloneta

Bastian is the most complete package on the city waterfront: pool, Balinese sunbeds and a restaurant. Expect to pay well over €50 a head, and book on summer weekends.

The others

For weekend pool parties, Go Beach Club is the pick. For an arty day, Sitges is 35 minutes by train. Our Barcelona beach club guide compares all 12 clubs.
