Gammarus Restaurant & Beach Club sits at Cala Canyelles, a sheltered cove about 5 kilometres north of Lloret de Mar. The venue spans three levels: a main restaurant with a sea-view terrace, a casual beachfront area called La Platgeta, and a rooftop pool with sunbeds and its own bar.

What is the best beach club in Costa Brava?

Gammarus at Cala Canyelles is the clear choice. It has a rooftop pool, a beachfront terrace, and a kitchen that does serious food: lobster, paella, fideuà, and tartare. It's one of the best-reviewed beach clubs in Catalonia.

If you want something lower-key, Sea Club Alàbriga in Sant Feliu de Guíxols is a polished hotel-attached alternative. Good for a long lunch, less of a dayclub atmosphere.

How much do beach clubs in Costa Brava cost?

Both clubs are affordable compared to the Costa del Sol or Ibiza. Mains at Gammarus and Sea Club Alàbriga run roughly 20 to 30 euros per person. You're not looking at 100-euro per-head minimums here.

Do you need to book beach clubs in Costa Brava in advance?

Reservations are strongly recommended at Gammarus on summer weekends and worth making for July and August generally. Sea Club Alàbriga is worth booking ahead for dinner. Walk-ins work outside peak season at both clubs, but don't risk it on a Saturday in July without a reservation.

Are Costa Brava beach clubs open all year?

No, both clubs are seasonal. Gammarus at Cala Canyelles and Sea Club Alàbriga in Sant Feliu de Guíxols both run from around April through October, with winter closures standard along the Costa Brava. Check directly with each venue before visiting, as exact opening dates can shift.

Are Costa Brava beach clubs family-friendly?

Yes, both clubs are genuinely family-friendly. Gammarus has a kids' menu, high chairs, and a sheltered cove at Cala Canyelles that's calm for young children swimming. Sea Club Alàbriga is equally relaxed, and the overall Costa Brava beach club scene is considerably more low-key than Ibiza or Marbella.

Guide to beach clubs in Costa Brava

Beach clubs in Costa Brava are rare, and that's part of their appeal. The coastline is rocky, the coves are small, and the vibe leans toward hiking trails and seafood rather than daybeds and DJs. What you get instead are two well-run, food-focused spots that genuinely earn their reputation.

Prices are moderate. Mains run around 20 to 30 euros, and there's none of the high minimum spend pressure you'll find at bigger clubs elsewhere in Spain. The season runs April through October, with July and August the busiest months.

Lloret de Mar and Sant Feliu de Guíxols are the two towns to know. They're about 25 kilometres apart on the southern stretch of the coast. If you're also looking at Barcelona beach clubs, the Costa Brava is an easy day trip north.

The Costa Brava tourism board is a useful resource for beaches, access points, and local events if you're planning a broader trip to the region.
