Best Value Deals

Malgrat de Mar offers excellent value for UK travellers seeking affordable, family-friendly beach holidays with flexible options.

🌅 All-Inclusive Holidays

Malgrat de Mar has a well-established all-inclusive market anchored by its beachfront three and four-star hotels along the town's 4 km stretch of Costa Maresme coastline. Properties including the Hotel Gran Garbi and the Invisa Hotel Ereso operate full-board inclusive programmes from £279pp including flights in shoulder season (May or October), making Malgrat one of the most competitively priced all-inclusive resorts on the northern Costa Maresme. The resort's linear layout places the majority of all-inclusive hotels within 150 m of the beach, with the town's promenade, restaurants and shops running parallel to the shoreline throughout.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Family Holidays

Malgrat de Mar is a consistently strong family resort — the main beach runs 4 km of flat, fine sand with a gradual shelf and calm Mediterranean water that is well-suited to young children and confident swimmers alike. Water World Malgrat, one of the largest waterparks on the Costa Maresme with over 25 slides and a dedicated toddler zone, sits directly adjacent to the resort and is walkable from most beachfront hotels; day admission runs to €30 for adults and €22 for children under 12. The Santa Susanna and Pineda de Mar resort areas immediately north provide additional family beach and park options within a 10-minute walk or local bus ride.

💎 Luxury Holidays

Malgrat de Mar's premium accommodation is concentrated in the quieter northern section of the resort towards the Santa Susanna boundary, where four-star sea-view hotels sit above the beach away from the town centre's busier evening circuit. The Hotel Alegria Maripins and the Hotel Tahiti on the northern seafront offer the most refined room stock in the resort, with sea-facing terraces and pool facilities from €150 per night in shoulder season. For a broader luxury offer, the boutique hotels of Calella and Sant Pol de Mar to the south — both accessible by regional RENFE train from Malgrat station in under 20 minutes — provide four-star spa and restaurant facilities within easy day-trip range.

⏳ Last-Minute Deals

Malgrat de Mar produces reliable late availability outside the Spanish school holiday peak — the resort's substantial beachfront hotel capacity, combined with year-round Vueling and Ryanair services into Barcelona El Prat Airport (55 minutes by regional RENFE train to Malgrat de Mar station), means unsold rooms and packages surface regularly within two to three weeks of departure in shoulder season. The strongest late-deal windows are June, early July and September, when sea temperatures remain at 22–24°C and prices run 25–35% below the August peak. The last two weeks of July and the entirety of August are the pinch points where late availability disappears and advance booking is essential.
