Sitges Holidays
All inclusive holidays to Sitges
Booking all inclusive holidays in Sitges is a relatively new phenomenon, but this resort looks likely to become popular over the coming years. In fact, people have been coming to this charming little Costa Dorada town for over 100 years. These weren’t tourists booking last minute breaks; they were bohemian types, who turned the town into a fashionable centre of avante garde art. A lot of this was down to its position on the coast. Just a short distance from the Gaudi grandeur of Barcelona, Sitges quickly became a magnet for fashionable artists, writers and thinkers.
Today, Sitges retains much of its Bohemian flavour. Pretty yet sophisticated, the old Catalan fishing village has a picturesque setting overlooking the sparkling Mediterranean. The attractive palm-fringed promenade faces onto a sweeping, sandy beach, and is lined with chic bars and restaurants, while further along are hotels and apartment complexes offering all inclusive holidays in a refined atmosphere.
Who books last minute breaks in Sitges?
This resort is never going to appeal to lager swilling party lovers. Instead, it attracts lovers of art, culture and sophistication – which include families. Its sweeping beaches and quiet charm have made it a popular spot for family holidays, especially those with older children. No-one could fail to be mesmerised by the mediaeval charm of the old town, with its winding cobbled streets and terracotta roofed houses – or its stunning beaches, with a wide range of water sports.
Most people book all inclusive holidays in the luxurious modern hotels lining the promenade. However, for those travelling on a budget there are some more modest hotels near the town centre.
The town’s bohemian atmosphere draws a very diverse range of singles and couples, and it’s worth mentioning that this town is popular with the gay community. There are several hotels and apartments catering specifically for male and female “travelling pairs”, which adds to its bohemian chic and dissuades party revellers.
Those booking family breaks in self-catering apartments will find an impressive number of seafood restaurants serving Catalan cuisine, as well as some chic, hideaway bars. This makes it a popular destination for couples – of all types.
Things to do on family breaks in Sitges
Most family breaks are focussed on the beach, which is perfect for swimming and sunbathing. For the more actively minded, there’s a range of watersports including windsurfing, kayaking and snorkelling.
Sited on a rocky promontory high above the town, the historic church of Sant Bartomeu has stunning views over the harbour, while the romantic Palau Maricel houses a selection of art covering several centuries.
People have different expectations of family holidays or all inclusive holidays for everyone. We at Future Travel recommend Sitges for anyone looking for a laid-back, bohemian style holiday in a stunning location.
