Your own private yacht (17m) on the beach, Barcelona

Staying on Your own private yacht (17m) on the beach in Barcelona, Spain is a rare way to experience the city from the water, with the yacht moored at 12 Carrer de la Pau. The setting suits travelers who want a beach-adjacent base and don’t mind living on a floating property during their stay. Reviews average 7.1/10 from 106 guests, with many mentioning the novelty of having your own space and the calm of being right by the sea, while others note that a yacht stay is more intimate and less “hotel-like” than a standard apartment. Families often appreciate that children are allowed and that the layout can work for group time together, while couples like the terrace moments when the harbor lights come on. Inside, you’ll have practical comforts such as air conditioning and heating, plus WiFi for staying connected between outings. A fully equipped kitchen helps if you prefer simple meals at home rather than eating out every night, and laundry facilities make longer trips easier to manage. For sightseeing, you can reach the Gothic Quarter in about 2 km and spend an afternoon wandering the historic lanes, or head to Port Vell, roughly 2 km away, for waterfront views and easy strolling. Barceloneta Beach is about 1 km from the mooring, so morning walks and late-day swims are straightforward. With free parking available, road-trip friendly guests can arrive by car and focus on exploring Barcelona’s neighborhoods without constantly searching for spaces.
