About Costa Brava

Spain’s 'wild coast' is well known for clusters of concrete high-rises overlooking golden sands. The rugged, dramatic nature of this coastline, however, protects it from becoming over-developed, and there are beautiful villages and historic towns tucked between pink-tinged coves and windswept cliffs, too. These off-the-beaten-track spots feel magical — and many play host to our pick of the best places to stay on the Costa Brava.

Some of our Costa Brava collections:

The sleepy town of Begur, topped by a medieval castle, is one of our favourite Costa Brava destinations. Base yourself in town for heritage-focused strolls and fabulous food, or head towards the coast to experience cliff-side hotels with mesmerising views. Tiny seaside Cadaqués — once frequented by Salvador Dalí — is another delight, with its pebbled beaches and laid-back atmosphere. Llafranc, too, is very special.

Venture further inland to see stone villages dotted between vines and orange-coloured earth. You’ll find some of Europe's most important Greek, Roman and Iberian archaeological sites scattered across the countryside, as well as fantastic opportunities to go hiking, cycling and horse riding. The Cami de Ronda, a well-maintained walking path, runs the length of the Costa Brava and is not to be missed. Whether you’re dreaming of a seaside holiday or a rural escape, the best places to stay on the Costa Brava await.

The Best Places to Stay on the Costa Brava

For a Beach Break

  • Hotel Terramar is a simple yet attractive little spot close to the coast in Llafranc. Contemporary rooms offer flexible options for families, and the beach is just nearby. Dine at the hotel's excellent fish restaurant, or explore the bars and restaurants of the town. A great value beach break choice.
  • Hotel Aigua Blava, set right on the beach, has airy contemporary rooms, suites and apartments for couples, friends and families. Cool off in the saltwater pool, play tennis on the hotel's courts, or dine at the excellent restaurant. Brilliant for a beach break.
  • Hotel Vistabella, above the beach on the Bay of Roses, has 29 luxurious rooms and suites bedecked in sleek grey and cream tones, with marble or polished wooden floors and large balconies. Offering a range of watersports, four restaurants and a spa, it's great option for active travellers and beachgoers. There are eight golf courses nearby, and the Dalí museums are easily accessible.
  • Hotel Tamariu has bright, nautically themed rooms. Perched above a small sandy beach, this is a great choice for a relaxed, low-key holiday. The restaurant specialises in classic Catalan cuisine.

For Romance

  • Hotel El Far, perched high above town alongside the lighthouse of Sant Sebastia, is a gorgeous nine-bedroom boutique pad. Expect dazzling ocean views from the terrace and private balconies, and romantic rooms decorated in pastel tones. A chic escape with stacks of soul — and a terrific traditional restaurant for keen foodies.
  • Mas Pastora, just inland, offers elegant rooms in a restored 18th-century farmhouse and contemporary wing, both overlooking large gardens and a saltwater pool. Pick this place for the romantic feel and the sense of seclusion — though you're not at all far from Llafranc. Adults only.
  • L'Horta D'En Rahola is a family-run hotel on the edge of Cadaqués' old town. The four guest rooms feature soothing blue and white tones, and the shared spaces include a lounge, gardens and swimming pool. The restaurant, which has been running since 1963, has a fantastic reputation for rustic regional cuisine. An adults-only favourite.
  • Hotel Restaurant Aiguaclara, in the heat of historic Begur, is a beautiful restored mansion with heaps of history. The onsite restaurant, The Clara, is a delight, specialising in fantastic flavours made for sharing with loved ones in a convivial setting. Very charming and romantic.
  • Les Hamaques has five gorgeous white-on-white guestrooms with a mix of vintage and contemporary furnishings. Set in rural surroundings, it's appealingly close to the beach of Santa Marti d’Empuriés and to the area's Greco-Roman ruins. Expect a tranquil atmosphere and lots of privacy, with pretty gardens best viewed from private terraces with hammocks. Dinners can be organised on request.

For Families and Groups

  • Hotel Playa Sol, set right on the coast in Cadaqués, is a lovely seaside hotel with a collection of individually decorated rooms, suites and apartments. Come with friends and family or kick back as a couple in comfortable, unfussy spaces just steps from the beach and the heart of town. Highlights include the hot tub, tennis, table tennis, petanque and a heated swimming pool — all at reasonable rates.
  • Hotel Rec de Palau features spacious suites and apartments, perfect for families and groups. Expect a mix of modern and traditional pieces, and a very laid-back atmosphere. There are terraced pools, garden seating and views of Cadaqués — within walking distance — and the ocean. Lovely.
  • Hotel Classic Begur is housed in a traditional building in Begur's medieval town centre. One for guests of all ages, the hotel has an atmospheric underground swimming pool, a friendly restaurant and a simple sense of rustic style. Flexible room options are great for families.
  • Mas de Torrent is a gorgeous country house hotel with chic contemporary interiors and 20 garden suites, each of which has private access to the gardens. The summer programme of children's entertainment makes this a superb family favourite.
  • Hostal Empuries, set on an unspoilt beach near L'Escala, has spacious family rooms with contemporary interiors, plus on-site activities including paddleboards, boats and bicycles to hire, plus a weekend kids club. A beach holiday for all ages.

For a Rural Escape

  • Arrels Hotel is a relaxed rural property in the hills above Cadaqués. Simple bedrooms have an attractive traditional feel, with whitewashed walls and beamed wooden ceilings. Expect fabulous terrace breakfasts of local produce and a refreshing swimming pool. For romantics or quiet travellers looking to unwind in a secluded spot. Adults only.
  • Rectoria de Regencos, set in a gorgeous sandstone building typical of rural Catalonia, has light-filled interiors with clean, crisp lines and minimalist furnishings. Intimate and low-key, this is a top rural retreat for couples, friends and families, who can book out the whole place.
  • Hotel Moli del Mig is a former 15th-century mill, now transformed into a designer spa hotel. Everything is sleek, light and airy, with pale polished floors and huge windows making the most of the views of the gardens and surrounding countryside. Try kayaking, riding and cycling, before kicking back at the spa or swimming pool. An off-the-beaten-track favourite.

For Foodies

  • Miramar Rooms offers five striking suites in Mar d’Amunt on the Cap de Creus. Savour Paco Pérez's sensational cuisine through the tasting menu or traditional menu, paired with wines chosen by sommelier Toni Gata.
  • Hostal Sa Rascassa has five simple guest rooms just steps from the beach. The big draw is the sensational restaurant — part of the reason that this little bolthole was twice voted best hotel in the world. Savour the fresh catch of the day with family and friends in a refreshingly relaxed setting.
  • Galena Mas Comangau Hotel is a converted farmhouse with one of the region's finest Catalan restaurants. Just outside Begur's historic walls, the hotel fuses contemporary style with more traditonal elements. A traditional choice for heritage buffs and keen foodies.
  • Hotel del Teatre has an exceptional restaurant inspired by Empordanese cuisine with a modern twist. Chef Albert Passerell creates innovative dishes using zero-mile produce. Sleek interiors and striking views complete the picture at this romantic, food-focused bolthole.

FOR LUXURY

  • Hotel Villa Gala is a chic boutique base in the centre of Cadaqués, with nautically inspired blue and white rooms overlooking the gardens and historic town. Cool off in the pool, savour excellent cuisine in the trendy restaurant and explore the old town on foot. An indulgent hotel for romantics and well-heeled travellers.
  • Castell d'Emporda, surrounded by vineyards, herb gardens, a wonderful glass-fronted restaurant and refreshing swimming pool, promises a fabulous getaway. A historic castle, it's a perfect choice for heritage buffs dreaming of luxury.
  • Mas de Torrent, set in the midst of the Empordà’s wine-growing region, offers excellent wine tasting oportunities and cracking cuisine. Choose a contemporary or classic guest room — all are large and elegant — and unwind in sumptuous style.
  • Hostal de la Gavina has hosted the likes of Ava Gardner and Salvador Dalí. Perched on a high, rocky promontory overlooking the beaches near S’Agaró, this classic hotel features cool marble, antique furnishings and a grand sense of tradition. Delightful long lunches are served in the vaulted dining room. One for old-school glamour.
