Villas in Costa Brava

Costa Brava Villa Holidays

Spain’s ‘wild coast’ lives up to its name. The Costa Brava is a cinematic sweep of pine-fringed coves, honeyed medieval villages and turquoise water lapping against rugged cliffs. Stretching north from Blanes towards the French border, this captivating corner of Catalonia balances barefoot beach days with cultural depth and culinary flair. Girona’s pastel-hued riverside houses and Gothic cathedral rise just inland, while whitewashed fishing villages such Palafrugell and Tamariu curve gently around sheltered bays.

Long lunches of grilled seafood and Empordà rosé drift into golden evenings, hiking trails trace the contours of the Camí de Ronda, and hidden coves reward the curious. Pair your stay with time in nearby Barcelona, explore more of our Spain villas, or browse our collection of villas with pools in Spain for sun-soaked indulgence.

Why visit Costa Brava?

Spain’s ‘wild coast’, the Costa Brava stretches from Blanes – 40 miles north of Barcelona – to the French border. While its beautiful beaches are firmly on the radar of travellers, step off the well-beaten path and you’ll stumble across untouched coves, wind-lashed headlands and quaint seaside townsHiking trails trace the contours of pink clifftops, while just offshore, some of Spain’s best diving sites can be found around Illes Medes.

The rugged coast gives way to hilly backcountry, sheltering hilltop medieval villages and the majestic Romanesque monastery of Sant Pere de Rodes. The culinary landscape is just as staggering, with no fewer than 17 Michelin-starred restaurants in this pocket of Spain. A trio of museums pays homage to Surrealist artist Dalí, whose imagination was stirred by the natural beauty of Cadaqués.
