Overview

Elisabeth by the Sea brings a fresh, boutique energy to Tossa de Mar. New for Summer 2025, this contemporary coastal hideaway pairs clean-lined, modern interiors with a rooftop pool, soothing spa and a prime setting just 100m from the beach and a short stroll from the old town. With only 136 rooms spread across two low-rise blocks, it feels intimate yet upscale – ideal for style-conscious couples and friends who want Costa Brava charm with a polished, grown-up edge.

Think glass-fronted balconies, crisp white walls and blue-on-blue sea views: Elisabeth by the Sea is made for slow mornings and golden-hour cocktails. Days drift between the rooftop pool terrace, the spa’s steam and whirlpool circuits, and long beach walks along Tossa’s curve of sand. Evenings are about Mediterranean flavours at Pandora restaurant and signature drinks under the stars at Pique Nique rooftop bar. For couples seeking Costa Brava’s charm without losing the creature comforts of a smart, modern hotel, Elisabeth by the Sea delivers the perfect balance. It’s around 45 minutes from Girona (GRO) airport and just 100m from the beach and 400m from Tossa de Mar’s atmospheric old town. See more Spain holidays.

Map & location


Tossa De Mar, Costa Brava, Spain

Tucked into one of the Costa Brava’s most photogenic bays, Elisabeth by the Sea enjoys a privileged spot in Tossa de Mar. Three pretty beaches curve around the medieval old town, crowned by ramparts and towers, while pine-cloaked hills frame the horizon.

From the hotel it’s a short stroll to the seafront promenade and the walled Vila Vella, where narrow cobbled lanes hide tapas joints, candlelit bars and sweeping lookout points. Day trips are easy too – Girona’s Gothic architecture and Barcelona’s big-city buzz are both within reach for a culture fix between beach days.

  • Beach 100m
  • Tossa de Mar resort centre (shops, bars, restaurants) 400m
  • Approx. transfer time from Girona (GRO) airport 45 minutes

Facilities

Pool & outdoors


The hotel’s social heart is the rooftop terrace, where a sleek freshwater pool is edged with cushioned sunbeds and parasols. It’s perfectly pitched for lazing with a book by day and lingering over sundowners as the sky turns coral in the evening. Fresh pool towels are provided.

Down at the shoreline, Tossa’s beaches are an easy wander away – from broad Platja Gran with its postcard castle backdrop to smaller coves ideal for snorkelling or taking a boat trip along the rugged Costa Brava coastline.

Please note: pool facilities may vary by season and operating hours.
