Mar Bella Beach

Beach · Sant Martí · Barcelona seafront · Barcelona

Trade city streets for sand and Mediterranean views at this beach with a designated naturist area.

Make room for a beach day

Between a walk through the Eixample and a late night out, leave yourself a few hours beside the Mediterranean. Mar Bella brings a different rhythm to a Barcelona stay: sand, sea views and a young, cosmopolitan crowd. A designated naturist area is part of its character, alongside spaces for beach sports. Pack for the kind of afternoon you enjoy, whether that means time on the sand or a stroll along the waterfront.

An afternoon with fewer plans

Our suggestion is to keep this part of the day simple. Make the beach your main stop, give yourself time for the seafront and save the next address for later. Mar Bella’s mix of beachgoers, sports and naturism offers a change of scene from central Barcelona. You don’t need an event on the calendar to make a little time by the water worthwhile.
