Hotels on La Concha Beach

The hotels closest to La Concha are the classic seafront addresses: Hotel De Londres Y De Inglaterra and Hotel Niza both front the bay directly, while La Galeria and Hotel Parma sit just off the promenade with sea views. For a step back from the water, Hotel Sansebay offers central sea views and praised breakfasts, and Sercotel Codina provides a budget-friendly base a short walk from the sand. In the quieter Antiguo district, Hotel Ilunion San Sebastian is a short walk from Ondarreta Beach, the western end of La Concha.

Hotels near Zurriola Beach

Zurriola Beach, the surfers' break in the Gros district, is served most directly by Hotel Arrizul Congress, a 4-star with free Wi-Fi and bike hire. This modern base is rated 8.5 and is well placed for both the waves and the neighborhood's pintxos bars. Other beach hotels are concentrated around La Concha, so you'll need a 15–20 minute walk to reach Zurriola from those properties.

Beach hotels with sea views

For genuine sea views from your room, the strongest options are the seafront classics on La Concha: Hotel De Londres Y De Inglaterra, Hotel Niza, and La Galeria all boast prime bay-side positions. Hotel Sansebay provides central sea views at a mid-range price, while up on the cliff, Mercure Monte Igueldo offers breathtaking panoramic views over the bay. For a five-star perspective, Akelarre – Relais & Chateaux sits just outside the city with ocean-view rooms.

Adults-only beach hotels

Two beach hotels cater exclusively to adults: Lasala Plaza Hotel in the Old Town offers sea-view rooms and a rooftop bar near the pintxos scene, and Hotel Villa Favorita, with its top rating of 9.4, is a boutique option with sea views and a short walk to the beach and Old Town. Both are 4-star properties that provide a quieter, more refined stay than the family-oriented seafront hotels.

Budget-friendly beach hotels

The cheapest beachside option is Sercotel Codina at 38 EUR, a clean 3-star with a rooftop terrace just back from the water. La Galeria is another budget pick at 42 EUR, offering elegant rooms and sea views near La Concha. Zenit San Sebastian undercuts most at 50 EUR, with modern rooms and a rooftop terrace in the center, though it's a bit further from the beach than the seafront properties.

Five-star beach hotels

Only two five-star properties are among the beach hotels, and they sit at opposite ends of the experience. Hotel Maria Cristina, A Luxury Collection Hotel, is a riverside landmark moments from La Concha, rated 9.1, and Akelarre – Relais & Chateaux is an ocean-view escape just outside the city with a renowned restaurant and full spa. Both command prices well above the typical, with Maria Cristina from 706 EUR and Akelarre from 291 EUR.

Beach hotels with parking

Parking in San Sebastian is at a premium, so these beach hotels with on-site options are worth seeking out: Hotel De Londres Y De Inglaterra, Zenit San Sebastian, and Hotel Ilunion San Sebastian all feature parking, as do NH Collection San Sebastian Aranzazu, Innside By Melia San Sebastian Orly, and Hotel Palacio De Aiete. Hotel Zinema7 offers a private garage, and Sercotel Hotel Europa has parking in the center.

Beach hotels near the Old Town

Staying in the Old Town puts you steps from the pintxos bars and the bay's eastern edge. Lasala Plaza Hotel is an adults-only choice with sea views and a rooftop bar, while Hotel Atari offers modern rooms with a sun terrace near the Aquarium. Hotel Zaragoza Plaza is a central budget pick close to both the beach and the old town, and Hotel Zinema7 is a cinema-themed option a walk from both.

Frequently asked

What is the cheapest month to stay at a beach hotel in San Sebastian?

San Sebastian's beach hotels are priciest in summer when the bay is at its best. The cheapest rates typically come in the cooler months from November to March, though the data here shows a wide range from 38 EUR at Sercotel Codina to 852 EUR at Lasala Plaza, so budget options exist year-round.

Which district should I choose for a first visit to San Sebastian?

For a first visit, the Old Town or the seafront along La Concha are ideal — you’ll be within walking distance of the main beaches, pintxos bars, and landmarks like the Aquarium. If you prefer surfing, Gros at Zurriola Beach is a lively alternative, with Hotel Arrizul Congress as a dedicated base.

How far is San Sebastian airport from the beach hotels?

San Sebastian Airport (EAS) is about 20 km east of the city, and a taxi takes roughly 30 minutes to the beach hotels. Alternatively, the bus from the airport to the city center runs frequently, and from the central bus stop most beach hotels are a short walk or a quick taxi ride.

How walkable is San Sebastian at night from the beach hotels?

Very walkable. The seafront promenade along La Concha is lit and safe, and most beach hotels in the center or Old Town put you within a 10-minute walk of the pintxos bars and restaurants. Even from Gros, you can stroll across the bridge to the Old Town in about 15 minutes.

Beach Hotels in San Sebastian

San Sebastian’s beach hotels fan out across three distinct shores: the elegant sweep of La Concha, the family-friendly sands of Ondarreta, and the surfers' waves at Zurriola in Gros. Most of the 43 selected properties cluster around La Concha bay and the Old Town, where you can step from your room straight onto the promenade. Away from the water, a few quieter options sit on the hills of Monte Igueldo or Aiete, trading a few minutes' walk for calm and a view.

Prices for these beach hotels range from 38 EUR at Sercotel Codina, a simple 3-star just back from the shore, to 852 EUR at Lasala Plaza Hotel, an adults-only boutique in the Old Town with sea-view rooms. The typical price lands around 85 EUR, and the set is weighted toward 4-star comfort — 17 properties sit at that level, with only 2 five-star options. Alongside the hotels, the page also includes 7 guest houses and hostels, so you’ll see a mixed list if you scroll through.

The bottom line

These beach hotels suit travellers who want to wake up steps from the sand, whether that's the classic elegance of La Concha, the surf vibe of Gros, or the serene cliff-top views at Monte Igueldo. If you're more interested in being in the centre of the action than the beach itself, the central hotels page might serve you better, and for budget travellers, the dedicated cheap and budget page offers more options. Families will find specific recommendations on the family-friendly page, while those with a car should check the parking page to avoid the hassle of street parking. If you're looking for a more intimate stay, the guest houses page shows a different side of the city.
