Sandwiched between northern Spain's mountains and the Mediterranean sea, this apartment has incredible views over Costa Brava. Sliding doors surround the living area, flooding the white- and sand-hued room with sunshine. Push the doors open to relax on the wraparound balcony – prime position goes to the sun loungers and small breakfast table, which look directly over the waves. When you get too warm, wander down to the communal pool to cool off. Interiors are simple, with earthy, neutral tones in bedrooms – think swirling terracotta browns and clay reds on walls, with unique Japanese-style beds in two of the rooms. Both of the dining tables look on to beautiful vistas, though for a sea breeze, head out to the alfresco space – perfect for cool glasses of wine and star gazing.

Sunny and finished with all the modern conveniences, a family will find great ease whilst at this home. Waking up to gorgeous views over the sea while you enjoy breakfast around the dining table will be a delight that won’t get boring. Both the master and children’s bunkroom opens up onto the terrace overhanging the sands of Empuriabrava beach. Speaking of, getting to and fro the golden sands and turquoise waters for water sports and sunbathing is easy, so you’ll have no trouble popping back to the terrace for lunch. The canals of the surrounding town, known as the Venice of Spain, are one of its defining attributes, so when you’re not with the kids engaging in activities, you can head out on a nightlife scene as vibrant and luxurious as some of Europe’s other seaside destinations.

A happy French beach holiday is made all the more special when you stay at this gorgeous French chateau. It’s based just a short stroll away from the stunning Racou beach, where you can enjoy a dip in the Mediterranean, sunbathe on the sandy shore, or sip on a glass of champagne in a beach bar. The home sits nestled away in a peaceful spot, surrounded by leafy green gardens, giving you a serene retreat to return to after days spent in the more vibrant parts of town.

We adore how this home is packed with character – ornate tiled floors, elegant light fixtures, traditional artwork and chic French furniture give it a je ne sais quoi that’s rare to find. There’s plenty of places to make lots of memories here – the beautiful outdoor pool provides the perfect place to cool off in the sunshine, while the terrace invites you to sip on sundowners while you watch the sky turn pink on warm summer evenings. For autumn and winter stays, you can cosy up around the fireplace with a French hot chocolate – drunk out of a bowl, of course – or spend evenings stuck into a good book in the library with a glass of wine.

Serene Sea View Retreat

Bicycles

Staying in this home is all about the blue stuff – namely, the perfect blue skies of North-eastern Spain, and a whole lot of H20. The small seaside town of Empuriabrava is laced with some 30km of navigable canals. In fact, this home sits near the edge of one and your stay includes a private mooring, so you’ll be able to step out of your front door and cruise around town by boat. You’ll also be just a short walk from golden beaches. If you still haven't had enough of sparkling blue water, you’ll have your own private pool to plunge into. Inside, you’ll find a space sleekly designed for comfort and easy living. Arched windows and patio doors bring the Spanish sun in, and allow guests to wander with ease from sun lounger to kitchen and back again.

Pure Blue

The sleek, contemporary design of this villa in Tamariu is effortlessly stylish. Floor-to-ceiling windows and glass walls on the lowest floor mean it's filled with light throughout the day, and a real highlight will be waking up to the panoramic sea views from two of the double bedrooms. Step out onto the balcony to enjoy a morning coffee overlooking the water, before a leisurely breakfast on the terrace below. And why not prepare a barbecue for lunch, dining al fresco on the oak wood table, or wander into Tamariu for a lunch of fresh seafood overlooking the beach.

Not far from the Spanish border you’ll find Perpignan, a classified City of Art and History – thanks to its roots as a former Majorcan capital – and home to this eclectic apartment. It’s only fitting that the bold interior echoes elements of both Spanish and French flair as an ode to its surroundings. The result is a vibrant space that honours natural wood and rattan but also puts more opulent touches front and centre. 

Spend your time here unwinding with an early-morning coffee on the balcony or by reading on the sunny sofa. Gather around the kitchen island after lunch to pour the wine, snacking as you chat. 

When you wander out, you’ll find Spanish influences in the Cathedral of Saint-Jean-Baptiste and the majestic promenade des Platanes. Take holiday photos in front of the many ancient buildings and sit down to eat at one of the local restaurants or cafes. Head to the beach – Plage du Lido lies at the other end of a short drive, or tee off at Golf de Saint-Cyprien.

Where the Birds Sing

Tucked away in the quiet village of Maranyà, this pink home delivers rustic charm and a range of modern comforts. Up on the roof terrace you can admire views across Empordà, while down below the rooms are family-friendly with plenty of space to enjoy quality time together. You’ll find the swimming pool and outdoor kitchen located directly across the street – providing the perfect spot for al fresco dining. And for adventures further afield, it’s just 12 kilometres to the wild beaches of the Costa Brava while the city of Girona is just 35 kilometres away. 


Pink Ochre 

There are some places where you feel instantly at ease on stepping through the door, and this is one of them. Unfussy, well-thought-out and functional, this apartment has all the essentials to remedy the stresses of daily life – and that’s not to mention the balcony that overlooks the picturesque canal. Take your time with traditional breakfasts as the sun peeps above terracotta rooftops and boats pootle away beneath. Ramp up the relaxation, La Rubina beach is just a minute’s walk away. Find a spot on the golden sands to work on your tan or kick off your flip-flops and paddle in the shimmering Balearic. When dinner time rolls around, you’ll find a delicious selection of international restaurants, rustic cantinas, moreish gelaterias and seafront eateries.

Water Lillies

Wine Cooler

We can't think of many things better than living right on the beachfront of the French Mediterranean coast. Sitting four floors up with a spectacular panoramic view of the breakers, this effortlessly chic, modern home adds a slice of luxury to beach holidays. Inside, there’s everything you need to relax and unwind, from the colourful sofa and stylish wicker chairs to the tasteful bedrooms with their large windows that welcome in the morning sunlight. But our favourite spot has be the grand, sweeping balcony that directly overlooks the beach and the vast sea. From here, gaze out towards the horizon as you sip a sundowner cocktail with your favourite people, or enjoy dinner in the lukewarm night air. The hub for beach activities is directly over the road, so whether you want to go swimming, kayaking or windsurfing in the balmy Med, you'll be in the water in minutes. If you can tear yourself away from the sandy shores, a half-hour car ride will get you to Perpignan, loved for its renowned cultural scene and wide array of restaurants and bars.

Nestled in the coastal village of Calella de Palafrugell, a scenic walk from the golden sands of El Golfet beach, this villa promises an exceptional stay – especially since you'll have a House Manager and housekeeping team looking after you. Inside, the bedrooms all have their own en-suites and dressing rooms (spread over three floors), plus there's a lift down to the basement where you'll find an independent suite and a professional cinema. Yes, the cinema is impressive, but we expect you'll spend most of your time here outdoors, where there's plenty of space for swimming and soaking up the sun. And just look at that view – it speaks for itself. 

Sea House

With a minimalist feel that soothes the senses, this home on the Costa Brava offers sanctuary in a quiet, sunny, residential area. Cool blue feature walls and furniture echo the glittering turquoise of your private pool. Empuriabrava beach is within easy reach, just three kilometres away.

Spend the afternoon siesta around the pool, and cool off under the outdoor shower. You'll find shops, restaurants and evening entertainment on your doorstep; whether you're planning a barbecue on the terrace or an evening of drinking and dancing, you'll have a peaceful place to call home.

Nice to haves

In the charming fishing port of L'Escala, the rooftop terrace of this bright and breezy villa gives you a panoramic view over the Bay of Roses. Up here, above the rooftops of the colourful town, you’ll find a turquoise plunge pool offering respite on hot days, and deck chairs to enjoy the view. Dinner can be taken on the terrace at the table for eight, and glass fold-away doors blend the dining terrace with the open-plan living room. Rattan furnishings and driftwood touches bring the beachy vibe inside and pristine white walls are livened up with sea-glass bottles and rare seashells. It’s a five-minute walk to the seafront where boats land the freshest seafood at the harbour, and a ten-minute walk sees you at the sandy stretch of beach at Platja del Rec. Explore the town on foot and dine on the catch of the day, or stock up on fresh fish and sun-ripened fruit and veg and cook in the vintage-chic kitchen back home. 

Driftwood Hideaway

A bright penthouse apartment with incredible views, this home puts you right in the centre of the resort of Empuriabrava. The home is bright and airy – white walls and modern furniture is brought to life with pops of colour that come from artwork, the funky dining chairs and the sunset-hued bathroom tiles. The sociable living area and sleek, bold red kitchen makes it easy to gather and prep meals together. The apartment has two terraces – the huge south-facing terrace is the star of the show, with lots of room to hang out and relax. It gets the sun all day, so it’s the perfect peaceful spot to enjoy the weather. As the day ends, enjoy drinks and dinner, or watch the sun set over the lake from the second, west-facing terrace. There’s lots to do nearby – rent bikes and explore the canal paths, play tennis and golf, or try out watersports. Spend your days at one of the sandy beaches before the resort's restaurants and bars come to life.

Sangria Sunset

This beachfront apartment will have you glowing from dawn till dusk. The open-plan kitchen, living room and dining area are bathed in natural light coming in through large French doors, so to stay here is to move in to a vibrant, sociable space to prepare meals, play games, and whip up cocktails – complete with sun-kissed balcony to enjoy them on. The design and furniture nod to the sea with aquatic motifs, sleek blue seating, glass top table and polished silver flooring. When you’re not basking in the sun on your balcony, lazy days are best spent on Argelès Beach mere steps from your door. The seven-kilometre long beach is known for its warm sand and glistening water, as well as its seafront promenade with its surplus of shops, restaurants, late-night bars, and children's play area.

Nestled amongst the Mediterranean woodland, this former 13th-century farmhouse is located between the foothills of the Pyrenees and the Spanish border. The well-designed interiors reflect the Catalan heritage, and the building benefits from ground-floor bedrooms and en-suites. Outside living is where this home shines – whether you want to unwind by the swimming pool, explore the gardens or enjoy a glass of Byrrh, a local aperitif on the terrace. The location suits those eager to explore the woodland, but the beaches aren't too far away either. 

Pyrenees Spirit 

Sandwiched between two national parks and stretching out to the Gulf of Roses, the area of Empuriabrava is a unique former swampland that has been turned into 40km of waterways and whitewashed villas. This home is in the heart of the development, its verdant green lawn and deep infinity pool looking out over a canal. If you've got a boat, there's space to moor it. Failing that, we suggest pulling up a chair, either right on the canal or the upstairs balcony, and watching the world float past. With a lived-in vibe and some unique design choices, this home is one-of-a-kind from the pink mosaic tiles of the bathroom to the bright orange bedrooms – kids will love it. There's also plenty of space to entertain the whole gang, with two kitchens, a study, a games room complete with consoles, and an open-plan living area. Come sunset, there's only one place to be, and that's on the top floor watching the last rays set over the terracotta rooftops.

Lagoon Flowers

Standing in the heart of the Les Gavarres Natural Park, this former farmstead sits amidst oak forests and idyllic nature. Renovated using local materials, the home's rustic charm makes a fantastic backdrop to a family reunion, while the private garden offers stunning landscape views. While the pool is shared with the owners, it's still a great addition – set in the large garden and surrounded by trees, you'll feel the seclusion here. When you start to miss civilization, though, you're just 15 minutes from La Bisbal d'Empordà, a town with shops and eateries, and close to some of Costa Brava's most beautiful beaches.

Self Check-in / Check-out

Where to start with this 13th-century farmhouse sitting at the foothills of the Catalan Pyrenees? Surrounded by expansive gardens, fields, and woodlands, this home offers ancient heritage and contemporary design. With a LEED Platinum certification, the sustainably restored villa will make you feel good about your footprint, too. Though there’s no air conditioning, there are cooling floors and ceiling fans. And while the bedroom suites are on the simpler side, they provide mountain views to wake up to each morning. Your host can arrange outdoor activities, including biking, horseback riding and hot air ballooning, or simply unwind by the saltwater pool while the kids bounce on the trampoline. 

The Spanish Farmhouse

Safe

Gaudi might be famous for his work in Barcelona, but that hasn't stopped this home taking inspiration from the famous Catalan architect. A 200-year-old farmhouse has been turned into a slick, white-washed hangout. Modernist influences are seen in the rounded walls, arched doorways, and buckled pillars. The living room is far out, from the white pool and foosball tables to the huge semi-circular sofa. The master suite is the most impressive, sending out spaceship vibes with its round bed, droplet shaped fireplace and spacious curved bath. But not even the slinky interiors can compete with Mother Nature, as views over the hills and out to the sea abound from every angle. The garden has been planted with bougainvillea, which showers archways and dining tables with pink blossoms when it blooms. For special occasions, head to the home's club room, complete with a DJ hut and incredible sound system. Life will feel pretty amazing floating in the infinity pool or sipping cocktails on the terrace.

Eros & Aphrodite

Located in the heart of charming Begur, this stylish Spanish villa offers the perfect sanctuary within Costa Brava’s bustling town. Ideally placed for strolling into town for delicious lunches and designer shopping, you’ll quickly slip into the laid-back local lifestyle here. Vibrant Barcelona is also around a half an hour drive away and makes for an excellent day trip. You can tell a lot of thought has gone into ensuring Sunset Hideaway has a sociable vibe. You’ll find large living spaces across two floors, making this a great spot for two groups of families looking for the occasional downtime. We loved the contemporary windows that flood the interiors with natural light, providing a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor living. Its stone-walled garden is in keeping with the home’s traditional charm and offers a lovely backdrop to the sunsets over the Pyrenees each night.

The countryside around this grand, Catalan mansion looks like a painting with verdant green forests meeting wildflower meadows. The view from the arched windows of the living room, across the green hills to the shimmering Mediterranean Sea, is a reminder that you’re just a ten-minute drive from the coast here. A day at the beach is possible at the secret bays of Cala del Crit and Cala el Golfet, both sandy coves hidden between the cliffs.

But we wouldn’t blame you if you ended up spending all your time at this luxurious, old-world villa instead. Sun terraces and shaded nooks offer sunseekers and wallflowers alike a place to spend the day. The fountain-fed Roman swimming pool invites you for a dip on a hot day and, wandering the expansive grounds, you’ll stumble across a tennis court and games area with ping pong. Outdoor dining is a treat with a huge table for the whole group in front of the summer kitchen and, if you’re hosting a special event, a marquee can be set up on the lawn.

The foundations of this home date back to the 14th century, and inside you can still get a feel for the medieval in the vaulted basement where you’ve got your own private spa. Down here, there’s an indoor swimming pool, steam room and sauna. Various lounges and sitting rooms allow the whole group to spread out and our favourite has to be the Rib-vaulted grand lounge with its Baroque painted ceiling harking back to a bygone era. Perhaps spend the evening taking it back to analogue in the library or snooker room. 

Spanish Nobility

Exercise Equipment

Surrounded by holm oak forests in the heart of the Les Gavarres Natural Park, this villa is an ideal retreat for nature lovers. Outside, there are plenty of shady spots and the swimming pool provides respite on hot afternoons. When it comes to mealtimes, we recommend calling upon the help of your host to arrange for a private chef to take care of dinner. Inside, beds can be configured as doubles or twins upon request and there’s an office for anyone who’s mixing business with pleasure. Location-wise, Pals Beach is less than a twenty-five-minute drive away and the town of La Bisbal d'Empordà is reached in fifteen.

Balcony / Patio

Even before entering the house, we fell under the spell of its surroundings – the glistening pool, the stunning views, the huge garden, and the outdoor dining area, inviting you to plan those magical alfresco feasts that go on long into the warm, Spanish nights. You’ll enjoy absolute privacy and tranquillity here, the perfect setting to catch up on your holiday reads and relax in one of the many sun loungers dotted about. 

Come inside and be prepared for a beautiful treat – what the home’s façade promises with its old-world glamour, the interior more than delivers. We love the stone and wood details, the unique art pieces and furnishings, and the cosy, inviting ambience. There is more than enough space to snuggle up and enjoy a movie night or an afternoon of wine and conversation, with an ornamental fireplace to add to that homely feel. 

The bedrooms, situated upstairs, are another highlight: with plush, comfy beds, timelessly stylish furnishings, and beautiful wooden floors, you’re guaranteed a restful sleep. 

Whenever you feel like exploring, there is an abundance of activities to be enjoyed in the area – from cycling and horse riding, to exploring the charming town of Calonge and the stunning beaches of the Costa Brava, just five and ten minutes away by car respectively.


Barefoot Contessa

Located on the coastal path between Llafranc and Calella de Palafrugell, this property is in one of the most beautiful areas of the Costa Brava. The sea views are expansive and lovely, and there is a small jetty on the lowest level of the home that grants access to Llafranc beach. You might hear some noise from neighbours due to the close-knit manner of the area's buildings, but you're within walking distance of several Llafranc restaurants, and it's easy to enjoy an authentic Spanish stay from this charming home.

A Golden Rose

Jacuzzi

You’ll be making the most of those knockout sea views, whatever the weather brings, at this Costa Brava villa perched in a quiet neighbourhood next to the Cala Canyelles cliffs. With an outdoor swimming pool and countless terraces for sunny days, along with an indoor swimming pool, Jacuzzi and sauna for cooler months, this place has it all going on. You can expect to do some entertaining here, too, with an outdoor bar area, a terrace with barbecue for alfresco feasts, and a pool table to keep the night flowing. Fancy breaking up pool days with an afternoon by the beach? Cala Canyelles, with water sports, is just two kilometres away.

Located in a small, quiet village, this stone-clad house has lots of rustic charm. We loved the well-kept garden, peaceful patio and distant views of the Pyrenees – it’s easy to adopt a laidback, Mediterranean lifestyle here. To ensure a memorable stay, your host can help arrange a variety of additional services and experiences, including hiring an in-house chef to cook for you and arranging an at-home yoga session or massage. And when you’re ready to explore, the historic town of Torroella de Montgri, with its narrow streets and impressive castle, and the former fishing village of L’Escala, famous for its anchovies, are just a short drive away.


Fig Tree Retreat

Situated in the charming Catalan village of Sant Mori, this elegant apartment is perfect for a small family or for couples visiting this picturesque area. You’ll be within walking distance of the town’s shops and restaurants, with plenty of outdoor activities to be enjoyed too. The home has a large private garden, a pool, and a shaded alfresco dining area. The inside feels bright and comfy, offering a modern design and plenty of light. Although there’s enough bed space for five, we think the home is best suited for four adults and a child. 

The Warmth of the Sun

The property Birdie Duplex is a charming and fully renovated penthouse located in the beautiful town of Platja de Pals, just 1 km away from the sandy beach. This exceptional duplex offers a unique and unforgettable holiday experience. The spacious living/dining room welcomes guests with its warm ambiance and air conditioning. Step out onto the terrace to enjoy the serene countryside view and soak up the sun. The kitchen is fully equipped with modern appliances, making cooking a breeze. The three comfortably furnished bedrooms provide utmost relaxation, while the upper floor offers a dressing room and a luxurious bath/ WC. The large terrace with deck chairs grants access to the inviting swimming pool, perfect for refreshing dips on warm days. Lavender Haven is within close proximity to local attractions such as Illes Medes and offers reserved parking for your convenience. Experience tranquility and bliss at this exquisite retreat.

Lavender Haven

This lovely home in Llafranc is perfect for those looking for absolute rest and relaxation. Boasting countryside views, this home is close to the beach and the bars of the town, while being nicely removed from tourist traps. Llafranc is a quiet part of Spain on the Costa Brava, with a stunning coastline and gorgeous beaches. 

The home is bright and cheerful, with bold splashes of colour that add warmth to the neutral palette. Your eye will most often be drawn outside, through the floor-to-ceiling windows that lead onto the large terrace. Trees surround the home, making it feel nicely secluded despite being part of a resort. 

When you’re not by the shared swimming pool – which is huge and inviting – you’ll likely spend most of your time on the terrace. There are sun loungers so sun-worshippers will be content, and there’s a lovely dining area too. You might like to drive fourteen minutes to beautiful Calella de Palafrugell for lunch by the water, and then spend your evenings grilling up local seafood on the barbecue. 

The clear water and soft sand of Platja El Cau are a seven-minute walk away, so days at the beach couldn’t be easier. To really take in the glorious coastline, walk ten minutes to the viewpoint at Mirador de la Divina Pastora. It’s a wonderful spot for sunset. 


Orange Sherbet

Cleverly designed over three floors to merge into the hillside, the home boasts sea views from inside and out. Lazy days can be spent admiring the vistas from the private pool and terraces and when you’re ready to head out, you’ll find a sandy beach and choice of restaurants in Tamariu, just a five-minute drive away. 

Hills & Sea

Perfectly positioned on a hillside, a ten-minute drive from the pretty town of Begur, this villa is all about sea views and laidback living. Your days will be spent on your private terrace, soaking up every last drop of the Costa Brava sunshine. Perhaps you’ll settle into a lounger with an ice-cold beverage in hand or maybe you’ll swim gentle laps in the glittering pool. When it’s time to eat, set the table on the balcony ready for a Catalan feast whipped up in the no-frills kitchen and if you’d like a quiet moment with your holiday read, the window seat in the bright living space is an excellent spot. Stretch your legs with a twenty-five-minute walk to Sa Tuna, an idyllic cove with a sandy beach – it was our favourite spot to while away the long afternoons. Head home before dusk with a bottle of Cava and watch the sunset melt into the ocean from your enviable vantage point.

Girasol

Safety Gates

This charming villa in the picturesque fishing village of Calella de Palafrugell is a rare find. Situated in a residential area just 450m from the pretty beach of Platja Canadell, this home is a great spot on the Costa Brava coastline. Though the house feels a little dated in parts, it offers a comfortable space to unwind when the midday Mediterranean sun reaches its peak – then again, there’s the outdoor pool to cool off in too. Make the most of the built-in barbecue and dine alfresco or walk the coastal path to Llafranc for a memorable meal along the seafront.

Mini Bar

Renovated to feel luxurious and modern, this beautiful villa was originally built in the 1940s and it has the patchwork stone facade to show for it. Although imposing from a distance, the interior radiates comfort and homeliness to make your break as cosy as possible, but not without a little dash of pizazz. Wander across three floors to find your favourite spot in this home – we can guarantee for some it will be in the games room where you can pass hours playing billiards, whereas other may take most favourably to the minibar and dancefloor. 

As fun as it is indoors, the outdoor area has even more to offer. Splash in the pool or challenge each other to a game of tennis, but don’t forget to unwind on the sunloungers as you kick back with an ice-cold drink and good book. 

Light the barbecue for lunch and make use of the sprawling terrace to socialise with wine, nibbles and good conversation. For a bit of alone-time, you can take to one of the swing chairs to admire the view, or stretch yourself all the way out on one of the hammocks to have an afternoon nap in the shade of the trees. 

Costa Brava has an arresting Mediterranean coastline and we encourage you to explore it. Start by taking a twenty-five-minute walk to the soft sand of Llafranc beach. When you’re not enjoying alfresco meals at home, you might stroll to find some choice restaurants not even ten minutes away.
