SItges is an adorable Mediterranean Sea town just 40 minutes south of Barcelona, Spain! It's definitely worth at least a day trip and is easily accessible by train, car, or even bike! Save my Ultimate Sitges Staycation Guide for everything you need to know to easily book your trip, plus the best things to do and best photo spots!

If you’re traveling to Spain, especially to Barcelona, you absolutely must schedule a few days for a Sitges staycation! It will be extremely easy to do using my Sitges Staycation Guide!

Sitges is an adorable little Mediterranean beach town known for being LGBQT-friendly, and only about 30 km south of Barcelona! There are several ways to get there that range from budget to comfort, and many accommodation options as well! You technically can also do it as a day trip if you don’t want to pay to stay overnight!

Again, this little town is a MUST and comes highly recommended from someone who has been to A LOT of beach towns in the world! Here’s everything you need to know!

(PS, not planning travel right now? Save this post on Pinterest for the future!)

How to Get to Sitges from Barcelona:

How to get to Sitges Spain

Like I said there are many ways to get to Sitges from Barcelona, and they range from budget to comfort/convenience. The cheaper options take longer, and the pricier options are quicker and more convenient.

PRO TIP: Use google maps to get there but make sure you type in “No Tolls” unless you have cash to pay for them!

I rented a car so I’ll start with the pricier options:

  • Rent a Car for €25-40: If you’re already in Barcelona, you can rent a car from the city center. I used Avis and got a small SUV for about $35 base but beware of the extra fees they charge for taxes and additional drivers. NOTE: You need to go to the Avis office first to sign a contract, then you walk to pick it up in an underground parking garage (google maps makes this confusing), also most of the cars are manual! I used this option because we had all of our luggage with us. You can also get cheaper options at the airport but then you need to take the train there and back. From Barcelona city the drive is only about 40 minutes.
  • Rent a Motorbike for €40: Motorbikes/Scooters are definitely a fun option, especially if you can’t drive manual in a car or don’t want to take public transportation. The only downside is that they’re somehow the most expensive option! You at least won’t have to pay for parking though (don’t park on sidewalks or you’ll get a ticket), and can get around Sitges faster!
  • Take the Train for €14: There are two train options, the cheaper one is only €7 each way! It takes longer, about 1 hour or so, but is worth saving the money and hassle of renting something. Trains start leaving early in the morning, and the last one leaves around 10:45pm at night!
  • Rent a Bike for €5: The cheapest daily rental I have seen for a bike is only €5, so if you’re up for a 2 hour bike ride (each way) this could be an option for you! WARNING: the roads have steep inclines, so if you aren’t a regular biker, I wouldn’t suggest it. I bike in the city every day and still wouldn’t attempt the hills!

Where to Stay

Mim Hotel

Since SItges was a staycation for me, I splurged a bit to stay at one of the nicer hotels there. To be completely honest, the price wasn’t worth the quality of the room, but it did have a nice rooftop restaurant and pool with stunning 360 views! I was also able to park my car underground there for a whopping €20 which I ate the cost for because I wanted the security of all of the belongings in the car.

The hotel I stayed at was Hotel MiM which averages €150/night, it’s one of the top ranked hotels in Sitges, I will add more as I visit more!

If you’re on a budget, there’s also quite a few cheap hotels, and of course, several Airbnbs!

In terms of the best areas to stay: Sitges is relatively small, but you’ll definitely want to stay somewhere somewhat central since it is also very much a walking town! The main beaches to try to stay near are below!

Best Beaches and Nude Beaches!

spain beaches

There are several beautiful beaches in Sitges, with clear blue water that you won’t find in Barcelona! Fair warning though, some of them are nude beaches! Don’t worry, if you don’t want to de-robe, you can still go there in a swimsuit! There’s 17 in total but I’ll list the most popular ones/ones I went to!

(PS in case you’re wondering, “Platja” means beach in Catalan!)

Here’s a description of the best beaches in Sitges:

  • Platja de la Fragata: One of the most popular beaches since you have a great view of the beautiful seaside church! There’s volleyball nets, a chiringuito (beach bar), and even beach massages! It’s “family friendly” which I guess just means it’s not a nude beach, aside from the many topless sun bathers!
  • Plaja de la Ribera: One of the bigger beaches that’s always busy! It’s a mix of family friendly and non-family friendly, if you know what I mean!
  • Platja Sant Sebastia: Located just east of the Sitges church which gives it amazing views as well. It’s a bit smaller but in my opinion has the best views of the colorful beach front buildings.
  • sitges beaches
  • Platja dels Balmains: One of the nudist beaches that is nestled under picturesque cliffs, just before the marina.
  • Platja d’Aiguadolc: Another nudist beach east of the church with stunning views of the mountains.
  • sitges nudist beach
  • Platja de la Rodona: The main gay beach that’s usually always busy and a mix of nude/not nude. But if you’re LGBTQ and don’t want to limit yourself to one beach, remember that all of Sitges is gay friendly!

When to Go

Sitges Staycation Guide

Most people head to Sitges in the spring and summer to enjoy the warm weather. That usually means it also gets very crowded though! Fortunately for me (although selfishly) since lockdown just ended, I am able to enjoy less crowds in the prime time.

Late June has been the best weather I’ve experienced so far! It’s not too hot and the rain is fleeting.

  • I've been waiting 2 years for this adventure in Pakistan, so after an 18 hour journey to get here, I hit the ground running! Sundays are mellow and a lot less crowded, so I got a relatively chill stroll through the Kotwali Wala Bazar, where I stopped for chai, bought too many pairs of shoes and bangles, and a free hand stamp henna! Then it was off to the famous Haveli rooftop restaurant in a former mansion overlooking the mosque and other religious sites, followed by another chai, a stop at the pharmacy in the dodgier area (picked up a cold in between trips), and finally back to a 5 star hotel i found for just $65 per night! Absolutely loving it so far, and I'm so grateful for my hosts @destinationpakistan who have been so patient with my constant travel changes and made up itineraries! Cannot wait to come back here with a group already, and i haven't even gotten to the mountains yet!!! I'm going to attempt daily posts, so please be sure to follow along if you're interested in seeing more! Also yes, so far I feel safe here as a solo female travelers, but let's see how it is on a crowded Monday and after that lovely little mountain flight on Tuesday! Anyone have Pakistan on their bucketlist??
  • Finally beat the budget airlines game!! This is for everyone who has ever gotten excited for a $20 flight in the EU, only to end up paying double for even a carryon! [Comment “travel” and I’ll DM you the link to my packing tutorial and all of these products!] For everyone who has tried to layer on as much as possible when they’re weighing bags, and who has had a mini melt down when they ask to place your bag in the measuring bin! I present to you, my top travel packing hacks as a full time travel professional: 1. Travel compression bags (now with portable pump) 2. Foldable toiletry bag with bare minimum necessities 3. Bags that sneakily expand 4. Convertible shoes This is all I packed for a 6 day trip to Venice, Mallorca, and a black tie wedding in Alicante! And if I can do it, so can you, becaaauussee I’m a former live-out-of-giant-suitcase gal from my decade as a nomad, but now with a home base in Italy (and Mexico), I’ve adapted to “bring as little as possible since you go back home”, both for convenience and to avoid thousands of dollars in baggage fees each year! Do you think you could manage with a personal item only?? Are you a checked bag person or carry on only?
  • T-minus 2 weeks till I return to the ‘Stan’s of Central Asia, but instead of solo, this time with 16 brave adventurous souls from our Travel Tribe Group Adventures Community! After exploring and navigating logistics alone, I’ve put together a custom, logistically-chaotic, yet adventure packed, luxe-comfort route and itinerary that has probably been one of the most difficult to coordinate for a group! 😁😂 Manifesting a smooth and safe journey for us all! Including my little pre-adventure in the mountains of Pakistan, and hopefully a quick trip to Azerbaijan beforehand!

  • Traveling was not a possibility for me when I was younger, yet now I’ve reached my 150th country (out of the 197 list which includes Kosovo)!! It has taken me 12 years, I’ve done most of them solo, and many have been collaborations that I received or pitched, but anything else, including most flights was solely paid for by myself, and here’s how I did it: (But first! Comment “TRAVEL” and I’ll send you links to my tips for making money while traveling, how to play flight roulette, and also this Balkans roadtrip itinerary!) 14 years ago - I started my blog but it didn’t make much money for a couple years. I used my only money and a credit card to take my first trip. I was one of the first people to pitch the concept of “free trips in exchange for social media posts” and I sent hundreds of them, always landing at least one, but there was still so much to see! With the money I earned from my blog, paid posts, and my writing for other platforms, I’d go travel but I’d play what I called “flight roulette”, where I pick “anywhere” as the destination, and choose the cheapest flight to somewhere I hadn’t been yet! As my business grew, I needed to repeat many countries each time year, and now I still travel to an average of 25 countries per year as a traveler-by-trade (influencer/entrepreneur), with the goal of 5-10 new ones each year. I never thought I’d reach all 197 countries…but now that there’s only 47 left…do I attempt it?!?! You can see all the countries I’ve been to and written about on my blog using the clickable map on the home page of mylifesamovie.com, or the menu that’s categorized by destination! As for making money to travel - I have a lot of posts on that and also a course, which teaches techniques for everyone, not just those wanting to be a creator! And for anyone who DOES want to be a creator or group trip host — my biggest advice is to find a niche personal to you, find your specific audience who can relate, and don’t just copy other people’s techniques, create new ones and stand out! Originality is admirable!! 😁 Thank you everyone who has stayed on this looonnggg journey with me! I can’t

  • Traveled solo in China earlier this year and became slightly obsessed! Out of the now 150 countries I’ve been to, I think it might actually be in my top 10! That’s why I had to add it to our group trips! We are officially 1 year away from our Zhangjiajie - Chongqing - Beijing/Shanghai group adventure with just a few spots left! ***Comment “China” and I’ll send you the trip info, and also an option to see my general blog post about it with tips (but PLZ don’t copy it for business purposes 🙏) If you’re on my level of adventure-obsessed, this is definitely the trip for you! It includes all of my favorite activities I did, like the Skyscraper Rappelling, Cloud Walk and Swing, Motorcycle video shoot, and alllllll the Avatar mountain things! Btw can you tell I’m wearing an “Avatar” outfit doing the zip line in the Avatar Mountains? 🤓 I’ll also be curious to see if we can recreate my Great Wall of China pics with no people from when I was there almost 10 years ago…before people-remover was a basic editing feature!

Traveling was not a possibility for me when I was younger, yet now I’ve reached my 150th country (out of the 197 list which includes Kosovo)!!

As my business grew, I needed to repeat many countries each time year, and now I still travel to an average of 25 countries per year as a traveler-by-trade (influencer/entrepreneur), with the goal of 5-10 new ones each year. I never thought I’d reach all 197 countries…but now that there’s only 47 left…do I attempt it?!?! You can see all the countries I’ve been to and written about on my blog using the clickable map on the home page of mylifesamovie.com, or the menu that’s categorized by destination! As for making money to travel - I have a lot of posts on that and also a course, which teaches techniques for everyone, not just those wanting to be a creator! And for anyone who DOES want to be a creator or group trip host — my biggest advice is to find a niche personal to you, find your specific audience who can relate, and don’t just copy other people’s techniques, create new ones and stand out! Originality is admirable!! 😁 Thank you everyone who has stayed on this looonnggg journey with me! I can’t

Traveling was not a possibility for me when I was younger, yet now I’ve reached my 150th country (out of the 197 list which includes Kosovo)!! It has taken me 12 years, I’ve done most of them solo, and many have been collaborations that I received or pitched, but anything else, including most flights was solely paid for by myself, and here’s how I did it: (But first! Comment “TRAVEL” and I’ll send you links to my tips for making money while traveling, how to play flight roulette, and also this Balkans roadtrip itinerary!) 14 years ago - I started my blog but it didn’t make much money for a couple years. I used my only money and a credit card to take my first trip.

Haters gunna hate, trolls gunna troll, and adventurers gunna adventure. Don’t hate the influencer, hate the fact that there’s a lot of people who like to do similar things as them. 😂 If adrenaline activities in rare, far, unique destinations is also your passion, comment “Tribe” and I’ll send you our line up for 2027/28 and how to get first dibs notifications! Also, this is why we require liability waivers on our group trips 🤪😬 however this activity was very well coordinated, had 4 professional guides and safety guards, and is a well-known activity in Victoria Falls! Follow @mylifesatravelmovie (one of the world’s most experienced solo female travelers) for extreme adventures and unique experiences in over 150 countries, and @mylifesatraveltribe to join on one of the adventures!

The only reasons you should NOT get an eSIM are if you enjoy searching for wifi, paying more for roaming, or you really want to disconnect 😜 But if you want to make your trip easier, just download an app like @alosim_app and get an affordable data plan, install it in seconds, and then it'll activate as soon as you arrive! No sketchy airport wifi required. Comment "esim" and I'll send you my step by step guide for how to use one, and you can also use TRAVELMOVIE for an extra discount! Note: your phone must be unlocked to use an eSIM!

Traveled solo in China earlier this year and became slightly obsessed! Out of the now 150 countries I’ve been to, I think it might actually be in my top 10! That’s why I had to add it to our group trips! We are officially 1 year away from our Zhangjiajie - Chongqing - Beijing/Shanghai group adventure with just a few spots left! ***Comment “China” and I’ll send you the trip info, and also an option to see my general blog post about it with tips (but PLZ don’t copy it for business purposes 🙏) If you’re on my level of adventure-obsessed, this is definitely the trip for you! It includes all of my favorite activities I did, like the Skyscraper Rappelling, Cloud Walk and Swing, Motorcycle video shoot, and alllllll the Avatar mountain things! Btw can you tell I’m wearing an “Avatar” outfit doing the zip line in the Avatar Mountains? 🤓 I’ll also be curious to see if we can recreate my Great Wall of China pics with no people from when I was there almost 10 years ago…before people-remover was a basic editing feature!
