Llafranc


Llafranc is among the most exclusive resorts on the Costa Brava and it’s not hard to see why. It’s centred around a sparkling turquoise bay, surrounded by lush headland and backed by an elegant promenade that’s perfect for romantic evening strolls. 

As well as beautiful beaches, dramatic views and warm Catalan hospitality, there’s a wide range of bars and restaurants to keep everyone happy, from low-key cafes to Michelin-starred elegance. So strong is its appeal, that Llafranc was once the haunt of the world’s best-loved creatives. Both Salvador Dali and Ernest Hemmingway spent time here soaking up the sunsets and the golden sands. 

This is an area that we know and love and we’ve a host of rental properties to suit every taste and budget. From townhouses to villas to apartments, you’re sure to find your Llafranc idyll. 

Llafranc beach is one of Europe’s hidden seaside gems, with a cosmopolitan air that’s appealing to singles, couples and families alike. Plus it’s only a stone’s throw from your Llafranc holiday rental! Relax on soft sands, swim and snorkel in clear blue waters or explore the bay by kayak. When you’re done there’s a selection of chic cafes overlooking the ocean. 

Nestled at the foot of Cap Roig Gardens, Cala del Golfet is rustic, picturesque and surprisingly uncrowded, given its wild, dramatic beauty. There’s parking near the beach, but it’s more fun to follow the coastal path, a walk of around 30 minutes.

Lovely Cala Estreta is dripping with natural beauty. It features a smattering of tranquil coves, a small golden beach, and wide-ranging views - look out for the 15th century fisherman’s cottage perched on the cliffs beyond! Well worth the 45-minute walk to get here.

Your villa rental in Llafranc is within easy reach of all sorts of fun activities! In Llafranc itself, you should spend an afternoon wandering the boulevard and strolling down to the harbour to check out the glamorous yachts and colourful fishing boats. Or, if you’re feeling energetic, hike up to the 19th century San Sebastian Lighthouse for endless views out to sea. 

History buffs can discover the area’s ancient roots. Local excavations have uncovered homes built thousands of years ago, and the Church of Santa Rosa is home to a fascinating Roman wine press. For a more contemporary take on Catalan culture, visit the museums of the Dali Triangle, to learn more about the visionary artist. 

Rather get your kicks under the water? Stollis Divebase is one of the leading dive schools on the Costa Brava, with a fun, family-friendly ethos.

Llafranc is known as a chic bolthole and its shopping follows the mold. Just a short walk from your holiday villa you’ll find a collection of elegant boutiques, gift shops and delis. Highlights include stylish women’s clothing, homewares and Catalan souvenirs.

For a traditional shopping experience, visit the outdoor market at Platja ‘Aro. With a vast collection of stalls selling everything from leather handbags to Spanish tapas, to kitchenware, dipping into your spending money has never been more enticing!

Want to self-cater at home? Whether you’re a gourmet cook or can just muster the basics, you’ll find everything you need within easy reach of your Llafranc holiday rental. There are small local supermarkets in the village, plus bigger chains in nearby Platja d’Aro, where you’ll also find gourmet treats at the weekly outdoor market.  

Seafood lovers are in for a treat with delicious fish and shellfish readily available at Llafranc’s seafront eateries. For lighter bites, there are tapas bars aplenty, with options for veggies and meat lovers, too.

If fine dining’s more up your street, make a beeline for Casamar. This elegant restaurant has been serving up Michelin-starred cuisine with a Catalan flavour since 2011 and is still going strong!

Should you want to venture out and explore, you and the kids will be spoilt for choice. It would be easy to spend all your time down at the beach, thanks to the soft sand, safe swimming waters and a plethora of water sports. But branch out further and you’ll discover there’s more to Llafranc than just sea and sand.  

The countryside is scattered with walking and biking trails and you’re within striking distance of the Cap Roig Botanical Gardens, a perfectly-manicured paradise home to 1,000 plant species and a whimsical castle.
