A couple and their sporty friend

Today we share the story of a couple who wanted to spend a week on holiday with a very sporty friend, finding the perfect balance between relaxation, the beach and physical activity.

Elena contacted me to help her organise a holiday with her partner and her friend Marta. This is how the conversation went:

Pep: Hi Elena! You mentioned on the phone that you were organising your summer holidays for yourself, your partner and a friend. What kind of trip are you looking for?

Elena: Hi Pep! Yes, it’s a bit of a special trip. My partner and I want to switch off, enjoy the beach, eat well and relax. But our friend Marta is very sporty, especially into cycling, and she wants to use some time to train. That’s why we’re looking for a destination that suits the three of us. We were thinking about the Costa Brava.

Pep: You’ve made a great choice. The Costa Brava is ideal for combining seaside relaxation with spectacular cycling routes.

A bike‑friendly hotel on the Costa Brava

Elena: My main concern is Marta’s equipment, as she will be bringing her own bike. Are there hotels prepared for this?

Pep: In that case, I recommend Golden Bahía de Tossa & Spa. It’s a hotel highly appreciated by cyclists, offering spaces adapted for storing bicycles and sports equipment, and it’s perfectly located to head out directly on cycling routes around the Costa Brava.

Elena: Great, that will definitely put her at ease.

Triple rooms at Golden Bahía de Tossa & Spa

Elena: We’d like to stay together in the same room to reduce costs a bit. Is that possible?

Pep: Yes, absolutely. At Golden Bahía de Tossa & Spa you can choose a Junior Suite, which is ideal for this type of stay. It’s more spacious than a standard room and offers greater comfort for three people.

Elena: How is it laid out?

Pep: It features a double bed for you and a single bed for Marta, as well as extra space for luggage, which is very practical when travelling with sports equipment. It’s a very comfortable option with only a minimal price difference.

Elena: That sounds perfect.

Relaxation during your holiday

Elena: Changing the subject… while Marta trains, we’d love to enjoy some time to relax. Does the hotel offer this kind of service?

Pep: This is where Golden Bahía de Tossa & Spa really stands out. The hotel offers a spa and massage services, perfect for relaxing and switching off while Marta makes the most of her training time.

Elena: Ideal, so everyone can enjoy the holiday their own way.

Dress code for dinner

Elena: One last question: in the evenings we like to dress up a bit. Is there a dress code for dinner?

Pep: That’s a very good question to avoid surprises. During the day and at lunchtime buffet the atmosphere is relaxed. However, for dinner it’s not allowed to enter wearing swimwear, sportswear, pool flip‑flops or, in the case of men, sleeveless shirts. Long trousers or smart bermuda shorts with a polo shirt, or a summer dress, are perfectly appropriate.

Elena: Perfect, now we know.

Elena: Pep, you’ve answered all my questions. Golden Bahía de Tossa & Spa seems to have exactly what we need: sport, relaxation, great food and comfort for the three of us.

Pep: I’m really glad I could help. I wish you unforgettable holidays on the Costa Brava, where everyone can enjoy their interests without giving up comfort and relaxation.
