Modelled on a traditional Mediterranean village, the buildings at this popular resort are adobe-walled, red-roofed villas set around an outdoor pool complex. Rooms have a bright feel – all light wood and natural light – and afford you unlimited access to PortAventura theme park, which is home to roller coasters, log flumes, teacups and more, in themed areas based on different parts of the world.

With wicker furniture everywhere, oars decorating the walls and a sandy colour palette, there’s a boho, beachy feel to this four-star hotel in Salou. Rooms maintain this aesthetic and have terraces overlooking either the street or the sea – while Spanish cuisine is beautifully presented at the Arena Tapas Restaurant, where the jamón ibérico is particularly celebrated.

Hotel Regente Aragón Gastronómico, for modern flair
