Best Value Deals
Santa Susanna is a strong value destination for UK travellers seeking simple, well-organised beach holidays with flexible booking options.
🌅 All-Inclusive Holidays
Santa Susanna is one of the Costa Maresme's most popular all-inclusive resorts, with a concentrated strip of three and four-star beachfront hotels operating full-board inclusive packages at highly competitive prices. Properties including the Hotel Hsm Sandy Beach, the Alegria Mar Mediterrania and the Hotel Best Sabinal front the resort's 2 km main beach and offer all-inclusive programmes from £289pp including flights in shoulder season (May or October). The resort's compact, purpose-built layout places virtually every all-inclusive property within 100 m of the sand, making it one of the most straightforward beach-and-pool all-inclusive destinations on the Spanish Mediterranean coast for UK travellers.
👨👩👧👦 Family Holidays
Santa Susanna is purpose-built for family holidays — the main beach is flat, wide and gently shelving with calm Mediterranean water, and the resort's pedestrianised promenade provides safe, car-free movement between hotels, beach and town throughout the day. Most four-star properties operate structured kids' clubs from age four, with dedicated children's pools and entertainment programmes running from June to September. Water World Malgrat, one of the Costa Maresme's largest waterparks with over 25 slides and a toddler zone, is a 15-minute walk or one stop by local bus from the resort centre; day admission runs to €30 for adults and €22 for children under 12.
💎 Luxury Holidays
Santa Susanna's premium accommodation is found in the resort's larger four-star properties on the northern seafront, where upgraded sea-view rooms and junior suites with private terraces overlook the beach directly. The Hotel Best Sabinal and the Alegria Mar Mediterrania both offer superior room categories with sea-facing balconies, adult pools and upgraded dining options from €170 per night in shoulder season. For a broader luxury experience, the boutique hotels of Calella to the south and Pineda de Mar to the north — both reachable by regional RENFE train from Santa Susanna station in under 10 minutes — extend the premium accommodation options within easy reach of the resort.
⏳ Last-Minute Deals
Santa Susanna's strong hotel capacity and consistently high UK operator presence make it one of the most reliable Costa Maresme resorts for late availability outside the peak summer window. Year-round Vueling and Ryanair services into Barcelona El Prat Airport, combined with a straightforward 50-minute regional RENFE train transfer to Santa Susanna station, keep the route competitive for last-minute bookings throughout the shoulder season. June, early July and September are the strongest windows for late deals — sea temperatures of 21–24°C remain excellent and prices run 25–35% below the August peak. The last two weeks of July and all of August fill earliest and offer the least scope for last-minute savings.
