What to do in Lloret de Mar when it rains: 8 plans 2026
8 plans in Lloret de Mar when it rains: museums, gardens, charming restaurants, spa, escape room, cinema and nearby covered trips.
Lloret isn’t London, but it rains more than people think — especially in May, October and November. And sometimes, in the middle of August, a storm comes through and torpedoes the beach plan. The good news: there are 8 real plans in Lloret and the surrounding area that work in any weather. This guide covers them, ordered by type and price.
The 8 recommended plans
1. Museu del Mar — culture in the dry
45–60 minutes of a manageable museum on Lloret’s maritime past and the emigration to Cuba. Small, affordable (~5 €), with information panels in several languages. Air conditioning or heating according to season. Perfect plan for a rainy morning. Full detail in the Museu del Mar guide.
2. Santa Clotilde Gardens — yes, they also work in light rain
If the rain is fine or intermittent, the gardens stay open and the misty marine atmosphere is special — different from the typical sunny version. Bring a big umbrella and waterproof shoes. For heavy storms, save it for another day. Full detail in the Santa Clotilde guide.
3. A long lunch at a good place
The best use of a rainy day is a long lunch. Lloret has several places where a meal can stretch 2.5–3 hours at a relaxed pace:
- La Tapeta — a Lloret classic for tapas with strong reviews, indoor terrace, long hours 8:00–24:00. Aperitif + tapas + wines + coffee.
- Can Bolet — traditional seafood place, ideal for a long after-lunch.
- La Calma — modern Catalan cooking, tasting menu.

4. Spa or wellness treatment
Several Lloret hotels have spas open to non-guests: indoor pool, jacuzzi, sauna, hammam, massages. Book ahead. Typical full spa-day price: 45–80 €/pax.
Hotels with spas open to non-guests (varies by season): central hotels and Fenals-area hotels with facilities.
5. Group escape room
Lloret has several escape rooms open to the public. A 1-hour group plan, atmospheric, no outdoor element needed. Typical price: 22–30 €/pax.
Search local listings: “Escape Lloret” on Google Maps.
6. Cinema in original version (or dubbed)
Multi-screen cinema in central Lloret has commercial releases. Some screenings in original version with subtitles. Cheap plan (8–12 €/person) for a rainy afternoon.
7. Bowling or games arcade
Central Lloret bowling alley with several lanes, a family or group plan. Price: ~5–8 €/game per person. No booking needed at normal times.
8. Covered nearby day trip
If a rainy day matches with wanting to leave town, indoor plans nearby:
- Girona city (50 km): cathedral, museums, old town. A rainy day is perfect for culture.
- La Roca Outlet (45 min): huge outlet shopping centre. A shopping plan under cover.
- Vidreres thermal baths (40 min): thermal waters and a relax plan.

Frequently asked questions
Does Lloret get many rainy days? Not many in summer. More likely May, October, November. In July–August, rain is rare and usually a short storm.
Are tickets refunded if it rains? Water World and sea trips usually refund 100% or rebook the date. Others (Santa Clotilde, the museum) don’t — they’re partly covered places.
Is there shelter near the beaches if it rains suddenly? Beach bars usually let you stay a while. Cafés along the seafront, yes. If you want to swim in the rain, do it — the sea at 22 °C is still fine.
What to do with small children on a full rainy day? Hotel family spa + lunch + kids’ cinema. And if you’re at a hotel with an indoor pool, you’re saved.
Is Water World open in the rain? Depends on intensity. Light rain — operational. Storm — rides close for safety.
In short
A rainy day in Lloret doesn’t ruin the trip if you have a couple of plan Bs ready. A long lunch at La Tapeta, visiting the Museu del Mar, seeing Santa Clotilde with an umbrella or escaping to Girona are honest options. And if the rain is just a passing shower, a walk through the old town with an umbrella has its own charm.
