Lloretfest 16th-22nd April 2011
The best sun, sport, leisure and nightlife on the famous Spanish Costa Brava. There's something simply special about Lloret de Mar!
Destination - Lloret de Mar
Lloret's a lively and cosmopolitan beach resort with action day and night - the perfect recipe for students! You'll find all the accommodation here, just an easy walk from the beach, bars and clubs. There's a cracking party atmosphere here pretty much 24/7. What's more, as a designated 'vila esportiva' (sports town) it boasts some fantastic sports and leisure facilities right here on your doorstep including 3-G football fields, sports halls and more. There are loads of shops and restaurants from traditional to fast food, so you'll always find something to eat, even late at night.
Lloret de Mar is 15 hours on the coach from Calais, just 30 minutes from Girona airport and 90 minutes from the heart of Barcelona.

Entertainment
As the leading resort on the famous Costa Brava, the nightlife here is second to none. We have a fantastic relationship with the very best venues in town and exclusive party nights in Moby's, Tropics and the Rose Room. We're inviting down some celebrity DJs too to add to the carnival atmosphere. On your first night you'll love the Welcome Party here with an optional all-inclusive package too. It's exceptional value for money and you can pay in resort on arrival.
You'll be made to feel at home at all our featured bars. We always negotiate some fantastic deals on drinks for you including sangria, beers and bottles - as well as some of the largest cocktails ever! Our friends at the Queen Vic, Texas Bar and Surfbar have worked with us for years. You can get some great drinks down on the beach as well as you enjoy the Spanish sunshine!
Accomodation
Our great selection of hotels and apartments all are within easy walking distance of the beach, bars and clubs. Most of these are contracted by us on an exclusivity basis each year so that everyone staying with you should be in the same party mode as well. The hotels all have bars, restaurants and swimming pools and you can choose from bed and breakfast or half board (which also includes evening dinner) which represents excellent value for money. Groups choosing to book at our featured apartment complex stay on a self-catering basis, although there are loads of restaurants and shops in the proximity when you need to grab a bite to eat. There's a large sports bar pub in the basement here too. Most groups stay in simple bedrooms (usually 3 sharing a room) all with private shower and toilet facilities. Wherever you stay, you'll never have too far to stagger back from the bars at the end of the evening.
Excursions
As a typical seaside resort, Lloret de Mar has everything from beach to bars, crazy golf to bowling, darts to latin dance. But if you fancy a trip away from the town then here are some popular excursions:
Barcelona
Head into Barcelona and see the famous sights of the city. Explore Gaudi's Sagrada Familia (the unfinished cathedral) or the Picasso museum if you are looking for some culture. Sports fans can tour the incredible Nou Camp stadium or visit the Olympic village (entries not included). Or you may prefer to visit the bars and stalls along the famous Ramblas Avenue and experience the local Catalan atmosphere.
Catamaran Cruise
Take a break from the town and head for the high seas! Escape away from the shore and enjoy a wonderful trip on the catamaran cruise. There'll be non-stop party sounds, free drinks and barbecue and the chance to enjoy water slides, snorkelling and swimming! Availability is limited so do reserve your places in advance.
Reps
Our excellent team of reps will do everything they can to ensure you have a wonderful time on tour. In addition to our team of professional sports tournaments organisers and officials, our social and welfare reps in resort will be on hand in the hotels, bars and clubs. All our reps are trained and paid, so you can rest assured that they are not just here for a holiday. As many return year after year, we know that your tour is in very good hands indeed!
