Costa Brava’s beaches and coves
The Costa Brava’s best beaches and coves
The reputation of the Costa Brava is well-deserved. There are few places around the Mediterranean Sea where you can find a similar concentration of such beautiful beaches. From the Planamar hotel, we have selected 7 not to be missed during your stay in the region.
We start with the most practical, and by that we mean the most pleasant beaches to go with children. And what could be better than having the sea in front of your accommodation in Platja d'Aro?
Or, if you feel like moving around, here are some suggestions including all the services you may need.
