A modern high-rise apartment just a short walk from some of Barcelona's northern beaches, this place has a dreamy balcony and far-reaching views – there's even a glimpse of the sea. Ideal for a couple or a small family, it sleeps up to four although the second bedroom is equally useful as an office if you'll be working during your stay. 

A wall of windows keeps the living space bright and cheerful, and there's a sociable flow through to the contemporary eat-in kitchen – which sports sleek black units. There's everything you need for a comfortable stay and great storage in the bedrooms for all your stuff, making it ideal for a longer stay too.

Walk less than fifteen minutes to the beach, or head to the nearby Diagonal Mar shopping centre or Parc del Fòrum. With trams just outside your door taking you into the city, all the big attractions are within easy reach too.

Staying in Mar Diagonal is not the obvious choice for everyone, but if you want a more relaxed, beachy atmosphere, it’s hard to beat this apartment. The building is impressive enough in itself, and the fact that every room has a sea view is not to be sniffed at. While the design of the place is simple, even bordering on sparse, the way that the windows frame that view mitigates what could otherwise be seen as a slight lack of inspiration. Getting into the city is easy enough on the metro, but it’s about an hour on foot to Plaça de Catalunya.

Staying at Diagonal Mar is a bit different from the typical Barcelona experience of Gaudí buildings and getting lost in the cobbled passages of the Gothic Quarter. While famed architectural marvels like the Sagrada Família are a twenty-minute drive away, this apartment is a dream for lovers of golden shores and turquoise waters – the beachfront is right opposite. You can walk to Platja de la Nova Mar Bella in just eight minutes, and admire views of its glistening waters from this glass-clad abode. With palm trees lining the road as you arrive at this modern building, there’s a beach-resort vibe that feels a world away from the hectic city centre. Inside, you’ll be wowed by the fresh, clean, and sleek interiors of the enormous open-plan living space. White is the dominant colour, illuminated further by floor-to-ceiling glass windows and sliding doors to private terraces and balconies. It’s a home that makes you feel like a VIP, especially with the services your host offers. Enjoy airport pickup, followed by a welcome hamper, attraction tickets, restaurant reservations, and of course a private chef for when you’d rather sip chilled wine than make your own tapas.

With direct sea views, garden, pool and kids' play area/pool, as well as easy access to transportation to the rest of this beautiful city, this home really has everything to offer for a relaxed and fun-filled city break. All guests need to do is kick off their shoes and listen to the gentle and melodic crash of waves in the background as they enjoy their morning coffee out on the balcony, watching as seagulls fly overhead. Children will have the time of their lives playing in the pool and play area, and when it's time to head on out to explore, guests will be spoilt for choice as the nearby Metro station connects the area to the rest of the city, making sightseeing easier than ever. 

Spend your days relaxing and soaking up those delicious Spanish rays at the neighbouring beach, which can be reached in as little as a ten-minute stroll, while the stunningly unique architecture that Barcelona is so famous for can be seen in the same amount of time. For those looking to spend the day shopping, dining and wine tasting, your neighbourhood of Diagonal Mar, as well as the cultural melting pot of La Rambla are the perfect spots, and if you're looking to venture out further afield for something truly spectacular, we highly recommend The Temple Expiatori del Sagrat Cor, which can be reached in a thirty-minute drive, or forty minutes by public transport.

All the way on the twelfth floor, this modern home has some killer views across the city. With floor to ceiling windows, the apartment is flooded with natural light in every room. The feel is decidedly contemporary, with the occasional natural addition like driftwood sculptures and potted cacti. The open-plan living and dining room is all sleek sophistication with shining hardwood floors and a long dining table set for eight. Glass doors open up to the petit balcony with a couple of chairs and table overlooking the city skyline view. This high up, you’re a world away from the street noise, but you can still experience the Barcelona buzz during the day making the thirty-minute walk to Le Sagrada de Familia or catching the metro at Poblenou, a ten-minute walk away. 

Blooming Lily

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. 

The Beach Lookout

Spread across two floors, this luxurious duplex apartment is the perfect spot for a group of friends or family looking to explore Barcelona with their own comfortable space to retreat to at the end of the day. This spot is made for the type of traveller who prefers the quieter city streets and proximity to the beach over the buzz of Barcelona's epicentre by Eixample. With rare views of Barcelona's vibrant cityscape, relax on the balcony with a cold drink in hand from your very own little corner of quiet. Minimalist designs inside the penthouse offer a cosy aesthetic and tranquil space to unwind in after a long day in the city. The bi-folding doors open up to let in a warm breeze, and plenty of daylight floods inside from morning through to evening. Watch the sunset over the city before heading out for the evening to discover one of the many delicious local Catalan restaurants within walking distance. Since the beach is just a twenty-minute stroll away, you'll most likely want to spend much of your time down by the sea, but with convenient transportation links – you can get just about anywhere in the city from here in under forty-five minutes. 

The Nouvel

Ideally situated a short walk from Nova Mar Bella Beach, this apartment is a comfortable base to return to after exploring Barcelona’s coastline. If you need to head into the city proper, Selva de Mar metro station is only five minutes away. When the sofa bed is in use, there’s limited social space in the living area. Fortunately, guests staying here have access to a furnished, communal roof terrace – perfect for relaxing with a tipple in the sunshine.

Since Barcelona doesn't have a lot of beachside apartments, there's a zone right across the road from it, where modern high rises offer a brilliant view of the sea and the developing Poblenou. Maresme is only a few minutes away from the beach, but you'll need to take the nearby metro to get to Eixample. In the summer, this home really comes alive with a whole extra lounge and dining area on the balcony that overlooks Nova Mar Bella beach. But even in the winter, the elegant design creates a pleasant atmosphere.

This is a home for beach lovers. Located in the rapidly developing Diagonal Mar, Cream Vista is all about sleek lines and minimalist furniture. As there are transparent surfaces in the communal area of this home, some might feel a bit exposed in the absence of curtains. But the big windows do have their perks, as you'll realise as soon as you wake up the sunrise. You'll need to take a train to get to Eixample, but we suppose when the beach is this close, the sightseeing can wait a little bit.

Once an industrial area, Poblenou has gone (and continues to go) through a transformation, bringing art and leisure into the neighbourhood. If you're here for the beach, then this home is close to perfect – Playa Bogatell is a ten-minute walk away. There are stairs in this home and no ramp, so it's not the best option for those with limited mobility or heavy luggage, but the layout of the home itself is handled extremely well. The upstairs even has a balcony overlooking the living room, which is one of the many cosy spots to enjoy a coffee and conversation. 

Glimmering Granite

Staying in this part of town has the obvious advantage of being close to the beach – in the absence of beachside hotels in Barcelona, homes like Indigo Star are the closest you get to waking up and stepping right into the sand. Sightseeing in Eixample will take a longer commute, but if you're in town to relax in a simple (and yet perfectly cosy) home, then this is a good way to go. Indigo star has a certain homey quality that makes for a comfortable stay.

Indigo Star

Shared Pool

Offering views of both the Mediterranean and Barcelona, it's not an exaggeration to say we were big fans of this sleek apartment's terrace – ideal for an evening glass of sangria. Only a short stroll from Llevant Beach and with a shared pool, it's easy to cool off in the sun here, while the tennis court and gym are there if you want to work up an appetite. Back at home, the floor-to-ceiling windows ensure the main living area has plenty of daylight – ideal if you plan on enjoying breakfast at home courtesy of the well-equipped kitchen. 

The Mariner's Hideaway

Tucked away in the charming streets of Poblenou, this apartment makes a great base for an inspiring city stay. Designed with relaxation in mind, you’ll find calm tones, stylish rooms and a private terrace – perfect for sunset drinks. There is also a home office for remote workers and the Bluetooth speakers mean you can switch off while listening to the sound of your favourite playlist. It’s worth noting there is no private parking here, but there are great public transport links and you’ll find it’s just a short walk to the beach. 


The Beauty Within 

Rooftop Terrace

Escape the hustle and bustle of the city in this compact but well-equipped apartment, just a five-minute walk from the beach. While it’s not the biggest and it lacks privacy due to its proximity to neighbouring buildings, this is an ideal spot for a couple seeking a coastal stay. An added bonus is the large rooftop terrace, shared with the building’s other residents, just perfect for alfresco dining or a spot of sunbathing. For days in the city, the nearest metro is just six minutes away.

Eclectic and bold, this contemporary artistic penthouse invites you to experience Barcelona from your own creative universe. You can feel the Eixample neighbourhood energy from both of your private roof terraces - prime spots to revitalise after a day admiring the artworks at the Barcelona Museum of Contemporary Art - only a seventeen-minute walk from your home.

The city’s cultural depth and diversity, reflected in this apartment’s dynamic aesthetic, have been intentionally designed to maximise your city break. Unique and diverse artworks canvas the walls of your bright apartment, whilst a host of collectables and considered antiquities add personal depth to this visionary aesthetic. The glossy stainless steel kitchen is kitted out for quick bites as well as home-hosted dinners - the central dining table is situated perfectly to share a bottle of orange wine you picked up from Vella Terra, a ten-minute walk away. What this home does so well is create an original system of thought within its design - prioritising every moment you have in the home. Nothing will feel better than cosying up on the huge custom bed in the cinema room for a movie after a day exploring the Gaudí sights.

We love how well positioned this apartment is – take yourself on an architectural walking tour of Gaudí’s most famous buildings and then treat yourself to a flavourful array of Spanish pintxos. If you’re here to experience the city’s culinary highlights, check out Morro Fi for savoury bites or Lomo Alto for a dry-aged meat affair, just fifteen minutes from your penthouse.

You're in for a treat with a stay at this contemporary apartment perched along a handsome leafy avenue of the well-heeled Eixample district. Home to Gaudí's architectural gems, haute couture shops, and Michelin star restaurants, they call this neck of the woods Quadrat d'Or (Golden Square) for a good reason.

Back at home, the pristine, uncluttered interiors will appeal to all you minimalists out there. Flooded with natural daylight thanks to those floor-to-ceiling Juliet balcony windows, it feels like a breath of fresh air to return to after a day soaking up all that Gaudi extravagance in the streets below.

Drop your bags in the spacious hallway, grab a glass of something crisp (the complimentary chilled wine will help with that), then fling the balcony doors open wide to watch the grand avenue of Gran Via bustle below. One of Barcelona's longest boulevards crossing right through the city, it's an impressive sight to behold. And thanks to its elevated position on the fifth floor, the spacious bedrooms feel surprisingly quiet at night with the windows closed and the black-out blinds drawn.

Heated Towel Rail

Located in the vibrant neighbourhood of Eixample, this stylish apartment provides an oasis of calm in the heart of the city.

Stepping through the old wooden doors and into this building feels inspiring – it's steeped in tradition with echoes of Spain’s impressive architectural heritage. And the elegance continues inside this apartment. Period features sit alongside luxurious details creating a sense of warmth and character – making it easy to settle in and feel at home. Whether you're preparing drinks in the kitchen or simply watching the sunlight dance across the treetops – this is the kind of space that enriches the moment. 

Outside, make the short stroll on to Passeig de Gracia to admire Gaudi’s Casa Milà and then head towards Sagrada Família – a twenty–minute walk. Make a refreshing pause in one of the local restaurants or bars – this is a wonderful way to savour the atmospheric charm of Barcelona. And wherever the city takes you, this lovely apartment is the perfect setting to relax in style. 

The Selena 

Just a few steps away from the Sagrada Familia, you'll find this chic apartment. Not only does it have a perfect location in the heart of Barcelona, but it's also stylish and convenient – city slickers will fall in love at first sight. 

Open the front door, and you'll find a gorgeous living area cloaked in greens and creams, with plenty of natural textures to bring warmth to the space. Pour a glass of Rioja and flop down on the comfy sofa, or head outside onto the balcony to enjoy your tipple in the fresh air. If you need to do some work then you'll find a desk space in one of the bedrooms, which is ideal for study sessions or remote meetings. Or, head to the kitchen to practice your Spanish-style cooking in the kitchen and share your culinary creations with your guests. 

Your first sightseeing stop will definitely be the epic Sagrada Familia, but there is plenty more to do after you've ticked off Gaudi's unfinished masterpiece. The streets of Eixample are packed with gorgeous art nouveau buildings housing boutiques and restaurants where you can blend in with the area's stylish residents. And, if you fancy exploring further afield, the winding Gothic Quarter and Barcelona Beach are both just a metro journey away. 

Sacred Prayer

If you can wake up and see the Sagrada Família from your bedroom window, your home must be in a pretty incredible location in Barcelona. A nine-minute walk from this Catalan colossus, this apartment offers a serene stay in an otherwise lively neighbourhood. While nearby architecture aims to overwhelm you with decorative and ornate features, the interiors here are quite the opposite – understated and zen. The decor takes inspiration from Japan, with wood-panelled walls, bamboo furnishings, and a delicate ink mural in the lounge. We love the sense of calm you can enjoy indoors, with the option to step out to your own private terrace and take in the sounds of the city centre. With coveted views of Gaudí’s masterpiece directly from this spot, we imagine you’ll be spending plenty of time up here (with a glass of tempranillo in hand). Back on ground level, take a four-minute walk to the Encants metro station and whizz around the city with ease. Whether you’d prefer a day on the shores of Barceloneta Beach, or an evening by the Magic Fountain of Montjuïc, your home is a perfect base for exploring this diverse metropolis.

Rice Wine

As far as homes in La Dreta de l'Eixample go, Caletre is a solid representation of the neighbourhood's architecture. Adorned with Modernist masterpieces, this part of Barcelona boasts great architecture on every corner and even the insides of an unassuming building like this one show some masterful craft. True, the street you'll be staying on is a little bit noisy, but we think that easy access to the cultural heart of town more than makes up for it. 

Caletre

This apartment offers a central location in Barcelona's Gothic Quarter and a practical pad to call your own. Just a short stroll from Barcelona Cathedral, Plaza Catalunya and the various shops, restaurants and bars, you really couldn't be better placed for exploring the city. The home's bedrooms vary in size, with limited space so you'll want to pack light. That said, we think the modern design, which benefits from traditional Catalan touches, makes for a lovely home to come back to after a busy day of sightseeing. 

The Making of a City

This stylish apartment, housed in a grand period building, has a fantastic address. Gaudí's masterpiece Casa Batlló is a three-minute saunter, while it's a six-minute stroll to Paseo De Gracia with its museums and designer boutiques galore (Gucci, Chanel and Versace, amongst many others). Plaza Catalunya and Las Ramblas, on the other hand, are a ten-minute walk away or visit one of Barcelona's most iconic attractions, the Sagrada Familia, just over twenty minutes on foot.

Back at this home, open the French doors to the balcony and have a seat on the comfy sofa after all that sightseeing. We love the high ceilings here and traditional wall mouldings. There's a gorgeous, modern four-poster bed as well – this place is perfect for a couple or friends looking for a bolt hole in Barcelona.

With a balcony opening directly onto the masterful façade of Sagrada Familia, this home boasts possibly one of the most unique vistas in Barcelona. But there’s more to staying at this apartment than just its jaw-dropping views. Your host also offers free tickets for Barcelona's matches at Camp Nou during your stay – a must-see while you're in town.  Back home, the vast living space is made for socialising – best enjoyed with the balcony doors wide open to take in Gaudi’s masterpiece. It's bright, roomy, and filled with pops of colour, from ruby red sofas to bold artwork. When it’s time to explore, hop on the nearby metro and you’ll be at the sights of central Barcelona in less than ten minutes. Or stay local to Sagrada Familia, where you’ll be surprised by just how much green space surrounds the area, perfect for a coffee and amble about. When tummies start to rumble, walk a few blocks along to the Eixample district and join the locals for authentic tapas and local wine. Or call upon your host, who’ll happily help with reserving a table at one of the city’s hottest restaurants. It’s all part of the service at this truly unique apartment.

Gaudi's Churchyard

This apartment has a modern style and is located in the heart of Barcelona's bustling city centre, next to Plaça de Catalunya and Passeig de Gràcia. Just a five-minute stroll from the Barri Gòtic and El Born, as well as being surrounded by plenty of bars and restaurants, you really couldn't be asked to be better placed. The home also benefits from a Juliet balcony and a stylish living area with a sociable breakfast bar – ideal for morning coffees before setting off for a day of sightseeing. You're also a three-minute walk from the FGC train station and the Plaça Catalunya metro station, both connecting you to the entire city with ease.

Barcelona is one of the world's most stylish cities, and this chic apartment reflects its location perfectly. Whether you're in the city for business, to catch up with friends and family, or simply to enjoy the Catalonian lifestyle, it's a great place to call home during your trip. 

Push open the front door, and you'll find monochrome furnishings with the occasional pop of blue – this contemporary space is perfect for relaxing between your adventures. The open-plan set-up means you can chat with your fellow guests while cooking or preparing drinks, and there's space for the whole group to gather around the table for some quality time together. 

From here, you can easily explore the city – the surrounding Eixample district is famous for its art nouveau architecture, buzzing bars, and trendy restaurants. The iconic Casa Milà is just around the corner, while the Sagrada Familia is a twenty-minute walk away. And, if you want to venture further afield in the city, simply hop on the metro at Diagonal station – it's only a two-minute walk away. 

Splash of Blue

Record Player

From its warm, earthy hues to its blend of beautiful textures, this home in Barcelona’s Eixample neighbourhood instantly feels calming. Wood floors, an alcove ceiling and ample natural light greet you in the open-plan living area where a cushy sofa invites you to kick back and relax with a glass of wine while a record serenades you. Catch up on work at the dedicated desk space here, taking breaks to perch by the Juliet balconies with a coffee. The dining table beckons hearty homemade tapas feasts when you’re not out sampling the local restaurants, while the bedroom is all ready to drift you into a good night’s sleep after a busy day in the city. 

Speaking of which, you’ve got plenty to see and do nearby with Carrer Enric Granados offering galleries, swish cafes, and luxury boutiques, as well as some of Gaudí’s most notable architectural masterpieces along famous Passeig de Gràcia.

Solange

Juicer

We love this home in Barcelona – it boasts some of the best views over Gaudi's iconic Casa Milà and L'Eixample. Housed in a 120-year-old renovated building, floor-to-ceiling windows let the daylight in, while traditional tile details and a mixture of old and new furniture give this place soul. Prepare some tapas in the sleek, grey kitchen and enjoy at the dining table or head to L'Eixample’s celebrated dining scene, just over a five-minute walk away. If the vistas from your apartment of Casa Milà have whetted your appetite to see some more, then it's a mere three-minute stroll. Or, browse the high-end boutiques in the area, then head to La Rambla de Sant Jose (also known as La Rambla de les Flors) and pick up some flowers. You'll undoubtedly be glad you picked this apartment.

The Ebony Azulejo

The northeastern region of Sant Andreu might not be on your radar, but this fabulously unknown spot is perfect for escaping the city’s throngs of tourists, while still having easy access to all the action. In this serene, village-like area with a traditional Catalan vibe, your apartment is just a six-minute stroll from the Fabra i Puig metro (meaning you’ll be at the Sagrada Familia in just fifteen minutes). Heading inside, white walls create a bright, fresh feel to the main living space. With sunlight flooding in through floor-to-ceiling windows, and French doors opening onto a leafy, private balcony, the whole space feels airy and relaxed. As you can step outside from either of the large, modern bedrooms – each with their own unique, decorative headboard – it’s the perfect spot to gather everyone in the morning with an espresso. Head down into the peaceful streets to find local delights like the Parish of Sant Pacià, eleven minutes away. The ubiquitous work of Gaudí made it out to Sant Andreu, where he designed the ornate mosaic floor of this neo-gothic church. This is truly a place where you can discover hidden details off the tourist track.

Secret Mosaic

Looking to the African desert for design inspiration, this Eixample apartment is dominated by earthy tones, natural materials and a few houseplants to add a burst of bright colour. Other aspects are a little more contemporary – you only have to look at the minimalist white kitchen to see what we mean.

Even though it sits among one of Barcelona's most bustling districts, there's something innately relaxing about the space, whether you're listening to a vinyl record with a breeze blowing in over the Juliet balcony or enjoying a meal cooked with locally bought ingredients on the round dining table.

And when it comes to sightseeing, you don't have far to venture from your front door. The mighty Sagrada Familia is less than a quarter of an hour's walk, as is Parc de la Ciutadella in the opposite direction. You're especially well served by cafes and restaurants in the surrounding streets, too.

Spanish Sahara

On a leafy tree-lined street in central Barcelona, this apartment makes the perfect setting for a dreamy city escape. From Antoni Gaudí’s modernist masterpieces to the vibrant foodie scene, laid-back beaches and lively buzz of Plaça de Catalunya (just an eight-minute walk away), there’s everything you could need to experience the magic of Mediterranean living.

Inside, you’ll find traditional features sitting in perfect harmony with contemporary comforts. From the open-plan living room to the cosy bedrooms, every detail inspires a wonderful sense of welcome. So whether you’re enjoying a morning coffee by the little balcony or sharing drinks as the sun goes down, this is the kind of space that perfectly adapts to suit the need of the moment.  

Days can be spent wandering the narrow medieval streets of the Gothic Quarter (just a short walk away), pausing in trendy bars and savouring spectacular views from Park Güell. And when you’ve admired the city’s artistic landscape from multiple vantage points, you’ll find this apartment provides a wonderful refuge – the perfect place to relax and unwind in style. 

La Casa Roja

One of architect Antoni Gaudí’s masterpieces, the Casa Milà, is just a twenty-minute walk or a nine-minute ride from this home. For some green space, head to Turó Park, with its elegant water features, pretty flower beds and winding paths, a seven-minute amble away. Or just take a stroll around this historic neighbourhood, home to Barcelona University and the restored 1930s market, Mercat del Ninot (eleven minutes on foot), which is great for seafood tapas.

Back at this home, we love the Moroccan inspired design inside – this and the living area’s vaulted ceilings and exposed beams were the first things to catch our eye. The earthy tones create an oasis of calm. Open up the french doors to the cosy balcony with its potted Sansevieria and cactus plants and listen to the sounds of Barcelona. Past the kitchen, there’s a dedicated workspace if you need to catch up on work or if you fancy writing a blog about your time in this fabulous city.
.



Gracious Oasis

Having recently undergone a renovation, this Gràcia apartment is awash with earthy colours, natural materials and leafy houseplants. It could be said that the design isn't so much led by Catalan influences as by North African style – whatever the inspiration, it's undeniably easy on the eye.

Not only that, but it's somewhere in which you'll quickly feel at home. The sleek white kitchen is plenty big enough for whipping up family-sized feasts, while there are a couple of spots in which to do nothing more strenuous than relax and take it easy – the hammock chair is sure to be a firm favourite among some guests, while the balcony allows you to get a burst of fresh air during warm afternoons.

That's not if you're already out and about exploring the cultural riches of Barcelona. One of the city's must-see sights – La Sagrada Familia – is less than a quarter of an hour's walk away, while you can also get to Barceloneta Beach in around half an hour on public transport.

An Eye for Fashion

With a fantastic position in the middle of Eixample, this apartment puts you close to many of Barcelona's most famous sights. Even if you plan to spend most of your time exploring the city's streets, you'll be happy to return to this stylish home at the end of the day.

High ceilings and tall windows mean that the interior feels bright and airy, but there's also a Juliet balcony if you want to feel the breeze on your face at any point. There's a lot to like about the design too, with wooden furnishings and surfaces going nicely with the cool grey tiles and eclectic selection of objets d'art. We're fans of the exposed brickwork in the master bedroom, which adds a loft feel to the space, as well as the pristine subway tiling in the bathrooms.

When it comes to sightseeing, the place to start has to be Casa Milà, which lies five minutes' walk from the home. One of Gaudí's other famous creations, La Sagrada Familia, can be reached in twenty-five minutes on foot, too. The Gothic Quarter takes a similar amount of time in another direction.

A Shining Example

You’ll find this smart bolthole placed around the corner from two of Eixample’s hotspots – Arc de Triomf and the vast green spaces of Ciutadella's Park. While we love the home's overall design, the apartment lacks natural daylight in places. Although the cosy, light-filled atrium room leading off the lounge is a nice touch for morning coffees and evening drinks. If six guests share, two of you will have to make do with the sofa bed in the lounge. Not ideal for some, but it could work out fine for children sharing or a shorter stay.
