Sea Club
Alabriga

Sea Club Alabriga occupies one of those positions the Costa Brava rations carefully: a tiered terrace on the coast road above the Bay of Sant Pol, looking across some of the most sheltered water between Sant Feliu de Guixols and S’Agaro. The club descends toward the sea in levels, cabanas and an infinity pool with a jacuzzi on the daytime tiers, a grill and sushi kitchen behind them, and a cocktail bar that inherits the whole view after dark. Rare for this genre, the important numbers are not rumours, the club publishes its 2026 cabana tariff for outside visitors in black and white.

On our Costa Brava club directory this stretch of Catalonia keeps only a handful of true clubs, and Alabriga is the formal one, the counterpart to the barefoot cove operation at Cala Canyelles. The distinction matters more here than anywhere: you choose this club precisely because it is not casual, and the page below prices that choice honestly.

Start with the number that frightens people and take it apart. Three hundred and fifty euros for a cabana sounds like Balearic pricing, but 150 of it returns as lunch and drinks you were going to order anyway, and the pack absorbs the parking, the towels, the water and the fruit that other clubs itemise. Net of all that, three people are paying roughly the price of a good lunch each for eight hours of private shade, a convertible sofa or Balinese bed, and an infinity pool suspended over one of Catalonia’s calmest bays. As formal luxury goes, the sums are honest.

The strictness is not a flaw in the product, it is the product. Full prepayment filters out the speculative booking, the capacity caps keep every cabana to its intended party, the outside food ban protects the kitchen’s standard, and the six o’clock swimwear rule executes a complete costume change on the terrace, from pool day to cocktail evening, without anyone having to ask twice. If you have ever paid resort prices to sit beside somebody else’s portable speaker, this list reads less like bureaucracy and more like the service.

What should give you pause is equally plain. This is not sand, your feet will not leave the deck, and swimmers who want the sea itself must go down to the bay. With loungers held back for hotel guests there is no modest way in, the cabana or a restaurant table is the whole menu of options. Non refundable prepayment puts the weather risk on you, softened only by the date change or voucher. And a wedding can take the entire terrace out of service, so confirm your date is clear. For a club that puts you directly on a cove with a pool and paella pans going, our Gammarus profile is the other half of this coastline’s answer.

The bay the terrace surveys is one of the gentlest on this famously rugged coast, a protected curve of sand between Sant Feliu de Guixols and the manicured old estates of S’Agaro, with the celebrated Cami de Ronda footpath tracing the rocks around its headland. Water conditions are typically calm here, which is exactly why the bay features in our roundup of the calmest water on the Costa Brava. A day can honestly combine both levels: the public sand below for the swim, the terrace above for everything else.

The club stands on Carretera de Sant Pol at number 633, the coast road climbing between Sant Feliu de Guixols and S’Agaro, about an hour and a quarter up the motorway from Barcelona and half that from Girona. Parking is part of the cabana pack, which removes the usual high season scramble on this stretch. Cabanas and tables book through the club’s online reservation system, with phone and email as the human alternatives, and the cabana confirms only when the full amount is paid, so decide before you dial.

The simpler route is to let us carry it: drop your date and party size in the form below and we forward the enquiry so the club can confirm cabana availability, the applicable pack for your dates and a table time in the same reply. The enquiry commits you to nothing and costs the same.
