Clota Mar, L'Escala Overview
Clota Mar is located in L'Escala, Spain. Rated 9.0 out of 10 based on 1 guest reviews.
Clota Mar is an apartment-style stay in L’Escala, Spain, set in the Riells area at Riells, 122, B. It suits travelers who want a quieter base near the sea, with the added bonus of a Japanese garden on site and a terrace for slower mornings. The property also includes a swimming pool and an exercise/lap pool, so you can keep up with a routine even when the beach is busy.
Guests who have left feedback describe the experience as calm and well-paced, with one review giving it a 9/10 overall. That kind of score usually points to the essentials landing well: a comfortable atmosphere, an easy rhythm for day trips, and facilities that match what people expect when they come for sun and swimming.
From Clota Mar, Playa de Riells is about 0.7 km away, making it practical for quick beach sessions without committing to long travel. Cala del Bol Roig is roughly 1.4 km from the hotel for a more secluded feel, while the Ruins of Empúries are around 3 km away for history that’s easy to combine with a coastal day. If you’re planning to spend time outdoors, the Riells coastline and nearby swimming spots let you alternate between pool time and the shoreline.
Best for families and solo explorers who prefer self-directed days, this is a good fit when you want a sea-adjacent location, on-site greenery, and pool options all in one place.
Important information
This property does not accommodate bachelor(ette) or similar parties.
Should You Book Clota Mar?
Worth considering if you want a quieter, apartment-style base in Riells with on-site calm (Japanese garden, terrace) and access to swimming. The 9/10 guest rating from 1 review suggests strong satisfaction, but the sample size is small so it’s best to book with flexibility if possible.
Best For
- Travelers who prefer a quieter stay in the Riells area rather than a busier town center,
- Couples or small groups who want a relaxed morning routine on the terrace and a peaceful garden setting,
- Beach-and-excursion travelers who plan to spend days near the sea and visit Ruins of Empúries (3 km) and Cala Montgó (2 km),
- Guests who value staying somewhere with both a swimming pool and an exercise/lap pool for downtime between outings
Not Ideal For
- Guests who need lots of verified feedback before booking, since the rating is based on only 1 review,
- Travelers who require very early check-in or late check-out, given check-in is 04:00 PM to 07:00 PM and check-out is 10:00 AM
What to Expect
You arrive in the Riells area and settle into an apartment-style stay that feels calmer than the busiest parts of L’Escala. The Japanese garden and terrace set a slower pace, and you can unwind by the swimming pool when you’re not out exploring. From here, it’s straightforward to plan day trips to nearby sights like Museu de l'Anxova i de la Sal (1.5 km) and Ruins of Empúries (3 km), with Cala Montgó (2 km) for a sea-focused outing. Based on the single 9/10 review, the stay appears to deliver a satisfying, restful experience for at least one guest.
