Situated on the northeast coast of Spain, Costa Brava is the perfect choice for a week or two on the beach. Golden sands, tranquil coves, windswept cliffs and scenic seaside towns – Costa Brava holidays are truly spectacular. Probably the most scenic of all the Spanish Costas, Costa Brava enjoys Mediterranean weather, where summers see temperature in mid-twenties, making the warm sunny months of May and June the best time to visit.
With sun, sea, sand and Blue Flag beaches for safe swimming, holidays to the Costa Brava are ever popular with families. Beaches are just the starting point of a wide array of things to do in Costa Brava. Choose from the Blue Flag beaches of Tossa de Mar, the lively beach in Lloret de Mar, or the 3km-long stretch of Calella de la Costa. If you’re looking for serenity, visit the golden sands of Platja de Castell.
Costa Brava’s best-known resort is the buzzing Lloret de Mar, but this area also boasts lots of off-the-beaten-track beaches and little towns that ooze traditional Catalonian spirit, too. Even the larger resorts are home to picturesque ports, small fishing communities and pretty coves, so Costa Brava is often said to offer the best of both worlds. Girona is a great destination to explore on a day trip at just one hour away, or if you’re looking for a city break, visit Barcelona along the south coast, a 2-hour journey away. For nightlife in Costa Brava, hit the party capital of Lloret de Mar, which houses rocking bars, clubs and pubs that won't disappoint.
Thanks to its lovely clean beaches and thriving nightlife, Lloret De Mar is popular with families and party people alike. For a touch of traditional Spain, opt for Tossa de Mar or Calella, which both have lovely old town areas. If you want to get away from it all, Santa Susanna offers laid back family-friendly beach bliss.
Plenty of resorts on the Costa Brava are within day trip distance of the fantastic city of Barcelona, famous for the unique architecture of Gaudi. Whether you’re looking to wine and dine, visit must-see monuments or shop until you drop, Barcelona has it all.
The Costa Brava is a waterpark lover's paradise. Waterworld has free daily buses from Lloret De Mar and other resorts, Aquadiver in Platja d’Aro caters for adrenaline junkies and small children alike, and Isla Fantasia, near Barcelona, is another great bet for a day out. Marineland in Blanes offers dolphin shows as well as slides.
If you’re looking to let your hair down, Lloret de Mar is king of karaoke and clubs for holidaymakers after an energetic evening. For city sights and buzzing bar scenes Girona and Barcelona offer everything from delicious backstreet tapas to Michelin-starred fare and Barcelona is packed with bars and clubs on the beach for you to enjoy under the stars.
Visit Empuries, the site of a once thriving Greek and later Roman town on the outskirts of the seaside city of L’Escala. The mosaic flooring of the mini-Pompei is still intact, besides the remains of an amphitheatre and Roman villa that are on show. Other historic sites include the megalithic settlement in Roses and monastery of Sant Pere de Rodes atop the Serra de Verdera mountain.
There are hundreds of unspoilt coves to discover along the Costa Brava. From small crescents of golden sand to rocky coves offering amazing snorkeling, the choice is all yours. If you’re after tranquility, take a trip to the quaint Iberian village of Castell in Palamós and dive into its crystal waters. As evening approaches, head into Palamós for delicious locally caught prawns, or walk along the coastal path to Cala Estreta.
If you’re looking to discover more of Costa Brava’s amazing marine life and beaches, hop on board a glass-bottom boat for top views and top tanning! Decide on a tour that suits you and sail across the clear waters, soaking up the scenery as you go. If you’re up for a swim, there is plenty of time to stop and snorkel.
If you ca drag yourself away from the golden sands, the hilltop town of Begur is charmingly untouristy, with cobbled streets, Moorish homes and quirky bars. The medieval town, located a few miles from the coves of Aiguablava and Tamariu, is for pedestrians only. Climb up the crumbling castle for picturesque views of the coast.
