Holiday homes & rentals in Costa Brava

Stay in a modern apartment or traditional, ‘hacienda-style’ villa with pools close to the beach in Costa Brava. Located in Catalonia, north-east Spain, enjoy striking cliffside views and a range of beautiful coastal cities in this renowned holiday destination. Water parks, cultural sites and national parks are among the other highlights here.

Enjoying the sunshine of Costa Brava

Literally meaning ‘rugged coast’, Costa Brava is notable for its striking cliff side views and superb golden beaches. June to September is the best time to book holiday lettings to make the most of all the fun to be had at the beaches, pools and water parks here, with temperatures in the high 20s.

Even towards the end of autumn and at the beginning of spring, temperatures are fairly mild. For cultural visits and simply appreciating the marvellous landscapes, visiting outside of summer can be ideal. This will allow you to appreciate the many historical sites away from the crowds. It’s almost always very sunny, even in wintertime.

Enjoying Costa Brava as a family

Costa Brava is especially good for family holidays, as it has such a great balance of beaches, watersports and cultural activities to enjoy. Near Girona are several diving centres, or bigger kids may enjoy kitesurfing and windsurfing near Montiró. There are also a number of excellent hiking trails all up the coast, especially around the Cap de Creus National Park and all along the expansive coastline of this photogenic region.

Of course, if your tastes lean more towards relaxed family activities, then Costa Brava doesn’t disappoint either. Holiday lettings allow you to take advantage of the varied museums. These also include the Terracotta Museum and a range of water parks all along the coast, such as Aquabrava. Chilling in the bars and outdoor restaurants, and strolling through the quaint streets of Costa Brava's towns are also highly enjoyable experiences.
