Where To Stay at Bay of Roses

There are basically 3 options when it comes to staying & sailing at the Bay of Roses depending on your priorities.

Camping Grounds

If you are there mostly to sail at every opportunity or if you have a group or kids who you want to keep entertained, you can’t go past one of the many camping grounds along the foreshore of the bay. In particular if lessons or renting gear is important then the La Bellena Alegra Camping Ground & Bungalow Resort is ideal as you have direct access to the ION Club. These camping grounds are not your typical small camping area, they have multiple swimming pools, restaurants, bars (some even with nightclubs) and the house thousands of people (pretty much like a small town). Most of them offer villas & cabins as well as camping sites.

L’Escala

If you are wanting more of a traditional Spanish experience you can’t go past the beautiful seaside town of L’Escala. This lovely town has an old area with narrow streets and historic buildings as well as a newer area. There are some wonderful beaches, restaurants, bars and shops so even the non-sailors in a group will be delightfully happy staying here. The town is only about 10 mins drive from the sailing areas along the bay so not to far to travel when the wind starts to come up.

Roses

The town of Roses is located about 30 mins north of the sailing areas although it is possible to also sail from the main beach at Roses but this is not as popular for advanced sailors as there is a point protruding out at the northern end of the bay which blocks a lot of the prevailing winds. Roses is very touristy but still has a nice Spanish feel and there is a vast amount of accommodation making for competitive rates. The beaches are perfect for lazing around on and there are restaurants & bars to keep anyone satisfied for weeks. Roses is probably more suited to people who want a holiday in the sun at a more tourist oriented location and who may want to do some sailing whilst they are there.
