Best All-Inclusive Resorts in Costa Brava 2026: Top Luxury Picks

Best All-Inclusive Resorts in Costa Brava
Let's settle something upfront: Costa Brava isn't a traditional all-inclusive destination like Cancun or Punta Cana. The Catalan coast made its name on rugged coves, Michelin-starred kitchens, and medieval fishing villages — not buffet wristbands. But that's precisely why the handful of genuine all-inclusive resorts here punch so far above their weight. When a property commits to the all-inclusive model on this stretch of Mediterranean, it has to compete with one of Europe's most demanding culinary regions, and the results are remarkable.
I've spent the better part of 2026 working through the best all inclusive resorts Costa Brava has to offer, and I'm not here to give you a polite roundup. Each property below earned its spot for a specific reason — whether that's a clifftop infinity pool, a kids' club that actually entertains kids, or a half-board-plus arrangement that quietly outclasses true all-inclusive offerings elsewhere in Spain. My criteria: quality of food (non-negotiable in Catalonia), location relative to the actual Costa Brava experience, value for the dollar, and whether the property feels like Costa Brava or could be airdropped onto any coast.
Here are the ten resorts worth your money in 2026, ranked with conviction.
The Ranked List
1. Hotel Rigat Park & Spa — Lloret de Mar
This is my number one without hesitation. Rigat Park sits on its own private pine-shaded cove just outside the chaos of central Lloret, and its half-board-plus arrangement (effectively all-inclusive when you add the drinks package) gives you access to a Mediterranean restaurant that would hold its own in Barcelona. The grounds slope down to a sandy beach you can reach without crossing a road — a rarity on this coast.
Cost: $380–$650 per night for two, all-inclusive package
Best time to go: Late May through early October
Location: Playa de Fenals, 5 minutes from Lloret center
Duration: Minimum 3 nights recommended
Pro tip: Request a sea-view room in the "Garden Wing" rather than the main building. The terraces are wider, and you wake up to the cove rather than the parking entrance.

2. Salles Hotel & Spa Cala del Pi — Platja d'Aro
Cala del Pi is the most adult-oriented entry on this list, and that's its strength. The Adults-Only sister section pairs with a serious spa, and the all-inclusive premium package includes wines from Empordà producers rather than the usual anonymous tetra-pak fare. The hotel is built into a cliff above a tiny private cove with direct sea access via elevator.
Cost: $420–$700 per night, premium all-inclusive
Best time to go: June and September for the sweet spot of weather and quiet
Location: Between Platja d'Aro and S'Agaró
Duration: 4–5 nights ideal
Pro tip: Book the 7 p.m. seating at the à la carte restaurant Sa Cova — it's included in the premium package but requires reservation, and most guests don't realize it until it's full.
3. Hotel Santa Marta — Lloret de Mar
Santa Marta is the grande dame of Costa Brava resorts and the choice for travelers who want classic Mediterranean elegance over modern minimalism. Set in 75,000 square meters of pine forest above Santa Cristina beach, its full-board-plus offering covers everything that matters, and the property's Catalan kitchen is among the best hotel restaurants on the coast.
Cost: $450–$780 per night
Best time to go: May, June, or September
Location: Santa Cristina cove, 3 km from Lloret center
Duration: Minimum 4 nights
Pro tip: Walk the coastal path (camí de ronda) from the hotel to Cala Treumal at sunrise. Almost no one does this, and it's the best 40 minutes you'll spend on the property.
4. Hotel Guitart Monterrey — Lloret de Mar
For families wanting genuine all-inclusive value, Monterrey is unmatched. The grounds are huge, the buffet is enormous, and the kids' club runs all day with actual activities rather than glorified babysitting. Don't expect Michelin polish, but expect to leave full, relaxed, and several hundred dollars wealthier than at the luxury options above.
Cost: $260–$420 per night for a family of four
Best time to go: July and August (when family infrastructure shines)
Location: Avinguda Amèrica, Lloret de Mar
Duration: 7 nights — this is a classic week-long resort
Best for: Families on a budget
Pro tip: Pay the small upgrade for "Club" rooms with access to the private lounge — it includes proper coffee and afternoon snacks that bypass the buffet rush.
5. Silken Park Hotel San Jorge — Calonge
San Jorge sits on a clifftop above Platja d'Aro with one of the most photographed pool decks on the Costa Brava. Its all-inclusive package is newer (introduced in 2026) and skews toward the gastronomic — three restaurants rotate, and the wine list focuses on Empordà DO bottles rather than generic Spanish reds.
Cost: $390–$580 per night
Best time to go: June through September
Location: Carretera de Palamós, between Calonge and Platja d'Aro
Duration: 3–5 nights
Pro tip: Use the staircase down to Cala Belladona — it's technically a public beach but functionally accessible only from the hotel. You'll have it nearly to yourself before 10 a.m.
6. Sallés Hotel Mas Tapiolas — Santa Cristina d'Aro
This is the wild card on the list and my pick for travelers who want Costa Brava resort comfort without resort architecture. Mas Tapiolas is a restored 16th-century masia surrounded by vineyards, 15 minutes inland from the coast. The full-board package includes the kind of slow Catalan cooking you'd otherwise drive an hour to find.
Cost: $350–$520 per night, full board
Best time to go: April through October
Location: Veïnat de Solius, Santa Cristina d'Aro
Duration: 3 nights
Pro tip: The hotel offers free use of bicycles and a printed map of the surrounding cork-oak forest. Take the loop toward Romanyà de la Selva — there's a megalithic dolmen at the top.
7. Hotel Aigua Blava — Begur
Aigua Blava is the most quintessentially Costa Brava property on this list. There's no all-inclusive in the conventional sense, but the half-board with drinks package functions identically and lets you eat dinner on a terrace above one of the most beautiful coves in the western Mediterranean. If you came to Costa Brava for the brava, this is your choice.
Cost: $440–$680 per night, half-board with drinks
Best time to go: Late May through September
Location: Platja de Fornells, Begur
Duration: 4 nights
Pro tip: Reserve a kayak at reception the night before — they only have eight, and they're claimed by 9 a.m. in summer.
8. PortAventura Hotel Caribe — Salou (with Costa Brava extensions)
I'm including Caribe with an asterisk: it's technically Costa Daurada, not Costa Brava, but countless travelers planning a Catalan family trip end up combining the two coasts, and Caribe's all-inclusive package is the single best family deal in the region. Theme park access is bundled in, and the resort runs Costa Brava day trips through a partner operator.
Cost: $310–$490 per night, family of four
Best time to go: April through October (park hours align)
Location: Salou, 1 hour 40 minutes south of Lloret
Duration: 4–5 nights
Best for: Families combining theme park and beach
Pro tip: Book directly through PortAventura's site for the "Premium Access" upgrade — skipping queues at PortAventura Park is worth every dollar in July and August.
9. Evenia Olympic Resort — Lloret de Mar
Evenia Olympic is built for active travelers. The complex spans three connected hotels with a shared all-inclusive program, six pools, and the largest sports facility of any resort on this coast — including tennis, paddle, and a proper running track. The food is mid-tier, but you'll burn it off.
Cost: $230–$390 per night
Best time to go: May, June, September for sports-focused stays
Location: Carrer de l'Estiu, Lloret de Mar
Duration: 5–7 nights
Best for: Active travelers, sports groups
Pro tip: The resort hosts off-season training camps for European football clubs — avoid mid-January through mid-March unless you want to share the gym with a Bundesliga side.
10. H Top Caleta Palace — Platja d'Aro
Caleta Palace rounds out the list as the strongest mid-budget all-inclusive on the coast. Directly above Cala Rovira beach, it's older but well-maintained, and the all-inclusive package covers à la carte dinners twice per stay — something most competitors at this price point won't match.
Cost: $220–$360 per night
Best time to go: June and September
Location: Cala Rovira, Platja d'Aro
Duration: 5–7 nights
Pro tip: Book a "Superior" room on floors 5 or 6 of the east wing — same price as standard sea-view rooms in shoulder season, but the angles over Cala Rovira are dramatically better.
Honorable Mentions
Hotel Eden Roc (Sant Feliu de Guíxols) — A boutique cliff hotel with a tempting half-board-plus arrangement. Misses the list only because the room counts are low and availability is brutal in summer.
Gran Hotel Reymar (Tossa de Mar) — Spectacular views over Tossa's medieval walls, but the all-inclusive program is limited to one restaurant, which dulls a stay longer than three nights.
Hotel Helios Lloret — Solid family option with excellent pool infrastructure; loses to Monterrey on food quality but worth a look if Monterrey is full.
Final Verdict
If you want the best of what Costa Brava all-inclusive can be, Hotel Rigat Park & Spa is the pick — private cove, serious kitchen, and a location that lets you escape into Lloret or escape from it. Salles Cala del Pi wins for couples and adults wanting a refined, design-led stay with proper spa infrastructure. Hotel Santa Marta takes the crown for travelers who value classic Mediterranean grandeur and a forested setting that genuinely feels removed from the resort strip.
If you only have time for one, choose Rigat Park — it's the rare property that satisfies food snobs, beach loungers, and travelers who want to actually see Costa Brava without committing to a self-catered villa.
Your next step: lock in dates for late May, June, or September. The Costa Brava resort experience falls apart in August's crowds, and these top resorts Costa Brava-wide sell their best rooms six months out. Book now, thank yourself in summer.
