With marble floors, ample space to play around with, and panoramic windows with some of the best views Barcelona has to offer, The Beach Lookout is perfect for those who will appreciate its majestic nature. The central sights won't be accessible on foot, but travellers who love a bit of sea breeze (which, you'll be pleased to know, does reach the terrace) will quickly fall head over heels for the nearby Platja Llevant.

Home truths
We thought that the limescale in the bathrooms needs a bit of love
We spotted a few scuff marks on the living room walls and scratches on the kitchen cupboards
A bit of a pet peeve, but – to get to the beach, you'll need to cross a busy road

Local guide
About Diagonal Mar
Barcelona is famous for its sandy beaches whose marine smells and sounds are considered a true luxury in an urban area. The beaches of Diagonal Mar attract many cruise-ships whose guests sip cocktails on the long boardwalk, dotted with clubs and restaurants. But this area is more than its beachfront – a discerning eye will see beyond its biggest attraction and discover a historically rich and soulful neighborhood that feels much less touristy and boasts some of the most popular local hangouts right behind it.

Bike, run or skate at Parque Lineal de Garcia Fària
Parallel to the beach, it's the ideal place to run, skate or bike. Palm trees, sea views, and smooth road - it's not a bad place to work out!
Try diving at Vanas Dive
If you're keen to have your first dive in a safe and guided environment, then Vanas Dive is for you. They also organise excursions to dive at La Costa Brava.
Have a picnic at Jardines de Simone de Beauvoir
This park is most beautiful in the spring, when the trees blossom with beautiful pink flowers - but it's a great place for a picnic or a run regardless of the season.
