Positioned on the Balearic Sea, Cabrils is a storied coastal town with a history dating back to prehistoric and Roman times. Along with centuries-old structures and fascinating museums, you can discover contemporary amusement attractions, lively dining and drinking scenes and a range of nearby beaches.

Things to do

Embrace local life within the centre of Cambrils, where you’ll find a sprawling expanse of seafood and international restaurants, fashion boutiques and cocktail bars. The action flows out onto the waterfront lined with fine-dining establishments, such as Les Barques and Albatros, that are known for their seafood specialties. Feel like a gamble? Duck into the small casino, Las Vegas, to play slots and table games.

Adventurous travellers should visit X-wave Cambrils, where they can test their skills and bravery on water jetpacks and boards. Alternatively, venture slightly inland to Jumpland Aventura Ecològica, which features a range of high-ropes courses and zip-lines catering to adventurers of all ages. There’s also a giant inflatable slide and team building activities, such as a forest maze and ski race.

Immerse yourself in the region’s rich history at the Villa Romana de la Llosa, where you can see an ancient Roman villa and archaeological finds. Afterwards, visit the 16th-century Torre Vella de Salou that was once a defence tower, which now houses historical paintings and artefacts.

Save time for the beach while in Cambrils. Playa del Regueral is the main beach closest to town and features a true Mediterranean vibe with golden sand and crystal-clear water. Find fewer crowds at Playa del Cavet, which is perfect for snorkelling, or enjoy banana boat rides and windsurfing at Playa del Esquirol.
