About the Destination

Platja d'Aro — Costa Brava

Platja d'Aro sits on the central Costa Brava, approximately 100 km northeast of Barcelona. Its main beach, Platja Gran, stretches for over a kilometre with Blue Flag status and a promenade of restaurants, beach bars and cafés running its length.

The town centre is known for its pedestrianised shopping street, which is among the most active on the Costa Brava in summer. For families, the area offers a range of water sports, mini golf, and access to the Gavarres natural park for walking.

For nightlife travellers and groups, Platja d'Aro's clubs and beach bars operate through the summer season. A private van transfer is the most practical option for groups with luggage arriving after a flight, as parking in the resort is restricted in peak season.
