7 Affordable Hotels in Costa Brava (2026)

Running along Catalonia’s coast in Spain's north eastern corner, the Costa Brava is all about rocky coves, clear blue water, sandy beaches and laid back seaside towns and villages. It’s easy to find good-value places to stay here, whether that’s affordable hotels in lively beach resorts, low-key spots near quieter stretches of coast, or simple bases for exploring nearby villages. Some are perfect if you plan to spend your days by the sea, others work well for walking the coastal paths or hopping between towns. Whatever your travel style, there’s an affordable stay here that fits.

For B&B

• In Begur’s old village streets, Hotel Hanoi is an intimate B&B that keeps things simple, stylish and affordable. Mornings start with generous breakfasts on the terrace, while indoors you’ll find rustic wooden furniture, handcrafted details and a welcoming lounge with a fireplace. Rooms are simple and comfortable, with several that open onto private balconies.

For rustic charm

• Housed in a 14th-century farmhouse, Can Clotas features stone walls, wooden beams and practical rooms that stay cool in the heat. There’s a small restaurant for relaxed dinners, plus gardens, a pool and space to roam. A great base for families, friends and anyone craving a countryside escape near the coast. A great value option.

For families

• Set in a quiet village near Girona, Casa Migdia is a five-room guesthouse that's geared towards families, and offers rooms at very reasonable rates. Interiors are bright and playful, with colourful pieces inspired by travels from Marrakech and Havana. There’s space for little ones to roam, shared meals in the evenings, and the option to take over the whole house.

For the beach

• Steps from the beach, Hotel Terramar is a long-standing, family-run hotel that's made for seaside living. The guest rooms are simple and airy and many have balconies that open out to sea views. Downstairs, the fish restaurant is the star — fresh, simple and always lively — while cafes, bars and evening strolls are all close by. An affordable seaside base.
• Set in an 18th century convent, El Convent de Begur is an easy walk from one of Begur’s best beaches. El Refectori restaurant is a real highlight, serving modern Catalan dishes using local produce and seafood. Rooms have terracotta floors, solid wood furniture and monastery-style proportions, with many overlooking both gardens and the sea. Great value for money.
• Perched above the bay, Hotel Casamar is all about the view and reasonable rates. Sunny rooms feature parquet floors, neutral furnishings and balconies with fabulous views. Downstairs, the gourmet restaurant and terrace attract locals, and for good reason. It’s a relaxed, well-run base for beach days and wandering along the coast.
• Sitting directly on the seafront, Hotel Tamariu is a family-owned hotel that's been welcoming guests for decades. The restaurant focuses on fresh local fish and Catalan classics, while interiors are light and maritime in feel, with balconies facing the water. Affordable, easygoing and ideal for lazy beach days.
