Overview

 
Tucked between the pines of a six-acre coastal forest and the golden sands of Santa Cristina beach, Hotel Santa Marta is one of Costa Brava’s most idyllic hideaways. New to many UK travellers for Summer 2025, this classic Spanish retreat combines timeless elegance, a soothing spa and sea-view rooms with the fun of Lloret De Mar just a short drive away. It’s a stay that feels hidden away in nature, yet never remote.

Wake up to the sound of the waves and the scent of pine trees at Hotel Santa Marta. A handsome 5-star hideaway set between forest and sea, it pairs a superb beachside location with a relaxed, grown-up atmosphere, a serene spa and stylish rooms that make the most of the Costa Brava coastline. Wander barefoot to Santa Cristina beach, then return for sundowners by the pool as the forest glows gold at dusk. For couples and relaxed families seeking Costa Brava’s wild coastline without sacrificing comfort, Hotel Santa Marta delivers that “hidden in the pines” feeling right on the sand. It’s around 35 minutes from Girona airport, with coach drop-off approximately 500m away along a gently sloping road. See more Spain holidays.

Map & location


Lloret De Mar, Costa Brava, Spain

Found between the trees of a peaceful coastal forest, Hotel Santa Marta feels delightfully secluded while still being close to the action. A short woodland path takes you straight to Santa Cristina beach – a sheltered cove of golden sand and clear water – ideal for swimming, paddleboarding or simply lying back with a book.

Lloret De Mar’s lively seafront, historic old quarter and broad main beach are just 2.7km away, so you can dip into the restaurants, bars and shops whenever the mood takes you, then retreat to the calm of the forest when you’re done. The wider Costa Brava, with its cliff-hugging footpaths, medieval villages and coastal viewpoints, is easy to explore from here by car or on organised excursions.

  • • Santa Cristina beach on the beachfront below the hotel
  • • Lloret De Mar resort centre 2.7km
  • • Shops, bars & restaurants (Lloret De Mar) 5–10 minutes by taxi
  • • Girona–Costa Brava Airport (GRO) 35 minutes by road
  • • Barcelona 75 minutes by car (traffic dependent)
  • Approx. transfer time from airport 35 minutes

Facilities

Pool & outdoors


Life here naturally gravitates to the water. The main outdoor pool sits within the gardens, edged by loungers and parasols and framed by mature trees that lend the whole space a wonderfully private feel. Take a morning dip as the sun filters through the pine branches, or linger by the pool until the sky turns soft pink in the evening.

Beyond the gardens lies Santa Cristina beach – one of the prettiest coves on this stretch of the Costa Brava. Sheltered by rocky headlands and forested hills, the gently shelving sand and usually calmer waters make it ideal for relaxed swimming and families with confident youngsters. Local operators often offer seasonal water sports such as kayaking or paddleboarding along the coast.

• Outdoor swimming pool
• Sun terrace with loungers and parasols
• Direct access path down to Santa Cristina beach
• Beach area typically offers sunbed and parasol hire (local charge)
• Please note: facilities and beach services may vary by season and weather conditions

Spa, sports & wellness


The hotel’s spa is a major draw, especially if you’re coming to unwind. Step into a calm space of soft lighting and soothing colours, where you can book massages, facials and body treatments that draw on both modern techniques and Mediterranean ingredients. Thermal areas – such as sauna, steam room or sensations showers – provide the perfect pre-treatment warm up or a post-swim wind-down.

While Hotel Santa Marta is very much about slowing the pace, there’s still enough to keep more active guests happy. Expect walking trails through the surrounding forest, an inviting stretch of coastline for morning jogs, and easy access to golf courses, boat trips and coastal hiking routes in the local area (often bookable locally).

Food & drink

Dining at Hotel Santa Marta leans into the flavours of the Mediterranean, with a focus on fresh seafood, local produce and carefully curated wine lists. Start the day with a generous buffet breakfast – think pastries, fruits, hot options and made-to-order eggs – either in the elegant dining room or, in good weather, out on the terrace with forest and sea glimpses.

In the evening, Half Board guests can look forward to multi-course dinners inspired by Catalan and wider Mediterranean cuisine. Expect fish straight from the nearby ports, olive oil-dressed salads, grilled meats and refined desserts, all served in a calm, grown-up setting.

A stylish bar and lounge area provides a relaxed spot for a pre-dinner aperitif, an after-dinner digestif or a quiet coffee during the day. Out by the pool, a seasonal bar typically offers drinks and light bites so you don’t have to move far from your sun lounger.

Dining details, opening times and dress codes can change by season, so we recommend checking the latest information on arrival.
