Beach Club Day Bed Prices
on the Costa Brava
What a sunbed, a daybed and a table really cost on a coast of coves.
The verdict
- Typical costRates and any minimum spend move with the season and the cove, so the venues quote on the day. We hold every figure as to be confirmed rather than guess.
- Best value pickGammarus at Cala Canyelles, the one dedicated club that earns a full day for the pool, the terrace and the food.
- One thing to knowThe Costa Brava is a coast of coves and beach restaurants more than daybed clubs, so peak August is dearest and a shoulder week or a weekday is much kinder on the bill.

A day on the Costa Brava rarely runs to a full club tariff, because this is a coast of pine backed coves, chiringuitos and beach restaurants rather than the daybed scene you find in Ibiza or Bodrum. The handful of proper clubs sit on the calmer bays, and the figure depends on the venue, the day of the week, how close you sit to the water and whether you take a plain sunbed, a full daybed or a front row table.
We list only the real, established clubs below and let each venue quote the number for your date rather than print a price that will be wrong by the weekend. Where a venue runs on a minimum spend rather than a fixed bed rate we say so, and where we cannot verify a current figure we mark it to be confirmed, because an honest blank beats an invented number. Send a date and party size through the form and the club confirms the real cost of the day you want.
What a day costs, club by club
Real, established venues only. Rates and any minimum spend move sharply with the season and the seat, so we mark them to be confirmed and let the club quote your date. See the full Costa Brava beach club directory for the vibe of each.
| Club | Beach | Sunbed or daybed | Minimum spend | What to know |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Gammarus Restaurant and Beach Club | Cala Canyelles, Lloret de Mar | To be confirmed | To be confirmed | A polished all rounder on the sheltered cove of Cala Canyelles just north of Lloret de Mar, with a pool, a rooftop bar and a terrace on the sand. Reserve a daybed well ahead for July and August and confirm any minimum spend and the lunch sitting directly. |
| Sea Club Alabriga | Sant Feliu de Guixols | To be confirmed | To be confirmed | The dressier, hotel attached choice at Sant Feliu de Guixols, refined and with wide Mediterranean views. Confirm day access and any minimum spend when you enquire, since entry can be limited in high season. |
Why the bill moves so much
Three things move a Costa Brava beach club bill more than anything else. The first is the calendar, since July and August are the peak, when beds are scarce and rates and any minimum spend climb, while June and September hold the warm water for less. The second is the seat, because a front row daybed or a cabana by the water costs far more than a sunbed in the second line, and a sunset table is dearer again. The third is what the rate includes, because some cover only the bed while others fold in towels, service or a food and drink credit.
Read the model before you sit down. A club that charges per sunbed is simple to budget, but one that works on a minimum spend means the bed is notionally free and you commit to a bar or kitchen total instead, which can run high on a busy day. Ask which model a venue uses, what the bed buys and whether the minimum is per person or per group, and you will not be caught out. Getting to the coves matters too, since many of the prettiest bays have small car parks that fill early, so an early start protects both the parking and the seat. The Costa Brava club directory describes the mood of each so you can match the spend to the day you want.
Lock in a price before you go
The honest way to avoid a surprise is to ask for the number before you sit down. Pick the venue from the Costa Brava beach club directory, then send a date and party size and the club confirms the real cost of a sunbed, a daybed or a table and whether a minimum spend applies. A weekday or a shoulder week is gentler on the bill, and reserving ahead secures both the position and the price.

Before you go
How much does a beach club day bed cost on the Costa Brava?
It varies by venue, season and position, from a modest sunbed rate to a higher minimum spend at the smarter clubs in peak August. Because the figures move sharply we do not print a fixed price and instead hold each as to be confirmed, then have the club quote the real cost for your date and party size.
Does the Costa Brava have many beach clubs?
Fewer than the Balearics or Turkey. This is a coast of coves, chiringuitos and beach restaurants, with a small number of dedicated clubs on the calmer bays such as Cala Canyelles and Sant Feliu de Guixols. For a lounger day most beaches offer simple sunbed hire instead.
When are Costa Brava beach clubs cheapest?
Outside the July and August peak. June and September keep the warm water and the scene with smaller crowds and softer rates, and a weekday is gentler than a weekend at any time. The dearest moments are peak summer weekends and sunset sessions at the front of the busiest venues.
Do the clubs charge a minimum spend or a bed price?
Both models exist. Some venues charge a straightforward rate per sunbed or daybed, while the busier clubs run on a minimum spend, where the bed is included and you commit to a food and drink total instead. Always ask which model applies and whether the minimum is per person or per group before you settle in.
How do I book a Costa Brava beach club and confirm the price?
Choose a venue from the Costa Brava beach club directory, then send your date, party size and occasion through the form on this page. We pass it to the club so they can confirm availability, the real cost of a bed or table and any minimum spend, and some bookings may earn us a commission at no cost to you.
