Beach

The beach is the quintessential holiday destination where the possibilities for entertainment and relaxation are infinite. Choosing one of Barceló Hotel Group's beach resorts means choosing the best service, the most comfortable accommodation and the world’s greatest beaches. All in the same place. Whether in the Caribbean, the Pacific or in other paradise destinations such as the Aegean Sea, the Mediterranean or the Andalusian Coast in Spain, travellers can find everything they want in any of the hotels and large beach resorts.

Tourists that want to spend as much time as possible by the sea should consider Punta Cana, in the Dominican Republic. The Barceló Bávaro Grand Resort is located next to the famous Bávaro Beach. It includes three hotels, all within easy reach of the spectacular shoreline. Three kilometres of sand and crystal clear waters dotted with swaying palm trees and sun loungers will satisfy the most discerning beach lovers. And those who prefer a change of pace can plunge into one of the pools or visit the new Pirate Island water park.

Mexico is home to Barceló Maya Grand Resort, which has splendid views of the beaches along the Caribbean coast. Sunbathe, swim and go for walks on the white sand bathed by the waves - these are just some of the activities you can enjoy during the day. At night, the fun continues at a restaurant by the beach, from which you can gaze at the stars while sitting by the sea. The exciting night life also includes theatres, a nightclub and themed bars.

The spectacular beaches in Varadero, Cuba, a 20-kilometre paradise of fine sand and turquoise water, are a natural gem worth considering when choosing a beach hotel in the Caribbean. Barceló Arenas Blancas Resort is located in Playa Azul, Varadero. This tourist complex has three free-form pools (one with its own tropical island) and a large variety of dining options. Guests love Cuban specialities. At nightfall, music and dance are the stars, providing happiness and the typically Cuban rhythm.

In Costa Rica, travellers are never far from a nature reserve or park teeming with wildlife such as monkeys, scarlet macaws and ocelots. Occidental Tamarindo is located on Langosta Beach on the north-west coast. Very close by there is a marine reserve for leatherback sea turtles. The white sand and perfect waves to surf set against a breath-taking backdrop of lush forest mean this resort satisfies beach lovers and nature enthusiasts alike.

Those who want to enjoy the beach as well as the local culture should book a stay on the sunny coast of Greece. Barceló Hydra Beach has rooms and bungalows with views of the Aegean Sea and access to three idyllic beaches. Located south-west of Athens on the Peloponnese peninsula, this resort shows travellers an image of Greece they have always dreamt of: rocky mountains, brightly coloured flowers and buildings with columns that remind you of Ancient Greece, the birthplace of philosophy, theatre and art.
