Bella mar, L'Escala Overview
Bella mar is located in L'Escala, Spain. Rated 6.0 out of 10 based on 5 guest reviews.
Bella mar in L’Escala, Spain, is a practical base for visitors who want beach time and day trips without complicated logistics. Set on Avenida Riells 31, it suits travelers who prefer to come and go by car, with free parking available and covered options nearby. The stay is built around apartment-style comfort with air conditioning, and guests can use BBQ facilities for simple, low-key meals at your own pace. Families also get a helpful touch with beach toys provided, which makes it easier to travel light for a day by the sea.
The surrounding area is geared toward outdoors and culture: Platja de Riells is about 0.8 km away for quick swims and sunset walks, while the Ruins of Empúries are roughly 2.5 km from the hotel for ancient-history exploring. Cala Montgó is around 2.0 km out if you want a change of scenery along the coast.
Customer feedback is mixed, with a 6/10 guest rating based on five reviews, so it’s worth aligning expectations with what others experienced. Some guests have mentioned that the property works well for straightforward stays and road-trip routines, while the limited number of reviews means there isn’t a large sample to confirm consistency. If you’re traveling with children, planning a coastal itinerary, or looking for a comfortable, no-fuss stop in L’Escala, Bella mar can fit—just consider it a functional option rather than a standout luxury address.
