Hotel Marina Badalona
Sea-facing spa hotel beside the Port of Badalona
About this hotel
Hotel Marina Badalona stands on the coast facing the sea, next to the Port of Badalona, its large sail-shaped windows giving every room a view over the sea, the harbour or the city. The adults-only Amaina Spa anchors the wellness side of the hotel, with an indoor pool, a chromotherapy sauna, a bithermal sensation shower, an ice room and treatment cabins that look out toward the water, backed by a fully equipped fitness centre. Three dining spaces cover the rest of the stay: Tela Marinera for Mediterranean cooking, El Fanal as a classic vermutería, and El Far, a rooftop bar with an infinity pool over the sea and the city. CCIB and the Forum in Barcelona sit around 4 km away, with Barcelona El Prat airport roughly 21 km from the hotel. Couples rated the location 8.7 for a two-person stay.
- Adults-only spa
- Rooftop infinity pool
- Sea-facing rooms
- Three restaurants and bars
Our take
This suits couples and spa travellers who want a genuine wellness circuit and a Port-facing setting rather than a beach-only stay. The Amaina Spa's adults-only pool and sauna, plus the rooftop infinity pool at El Far, make it Badalona's clearest choice for a wellness break. Families with children should look at Hotel Miramar instead, since the spa's adult-only rule and the hotel's more formal dining spaces suit couples better than young kids.
- ✓Book Amaina Spa treatment slots ahead of a weekend visit; the adults-only pool and sauna area fills quickly among hotel guests.
- ✓Time a visit to the El Far rooftop pool for late afternoon, when the light over the Port of Badalona suits the infinity-edge view best.
- ✓Eat at El Fanal for a lighter, local vermutería evening between spa sessions, saving Tela Marinera for the main dinner of the stay.
Why we love it

Why guests love itThe Amaina Spa sets the tone for a stay here: an adults-only pool, a chromotherapy sauna and an ice room used most afternoons, then the rooftop infinity pool at El Far in the evening for the view over the Port of Badalona. Dinner rotates between the hotel's three spaces depending on the mood, formal at Tela Marinera, lighter at El Fanal. It's built for couples and solo spa travellers rather than families, and the adults-only spa rule makes that clear from the start.
