Go for a holiday in Platja d’Aro to discover the true Mediterranean spirit in this corner of the Costa Brava with endless leisure options.

Welcome to this unique part of the Costa Brava that has so much more to offer than sun and sand. Nature lovers have plenty of options for activities: hiking, nautical activities and cycling. And at nightfall, the leisure options offer something to suit all tastes.

Obviously, one of the main reasons people look for cheap trips to Platja d’Aro is the beach. Surrounded by a superb natural environment where the pine trees and sand are bathed in the sparkling blue of the Mediterranean Sea, the wide beaches and hidden coves will satisfy even the most demanding travellers. Platja Gran is the ideal option for family tourism, with all kinds of services right next to the town. If you prefer smaller beaches, you can opt for Cala Rovira, quite near the centre, or the tranquil, virgin beaches to the north, such as Cala Sa Cova, Cala del Pi, Cala d’es Canyers and Cala Belladonna.

Nature lovers should stop by the Parc dels Estanys, a green lung with ponds where you can spot up to 250 different species of birds. Another great option is the Camí de Ronda, a route that runs along the entire Costa Brava that used to be used to control the border.

Package deals to Platja d’Aro are the cheapest option to spend your holidays in this charming town in the province of Girona. Little ones will have a great time at Aquadiver, a water park that helps escape the heat on the hottest days of the year. The local calendar is full of events too: the Medieval Market, the Beer Festival and the Living Nativity Scene.

Platja d’Aro is located between Sant Feliu de Guíxols to the south and Palamós to the north. The best way to arrive and start your trip to Platja d’Aro is by bus. The town is 19 miles from Girona and 62 miles from Barcelona. If you’re travelling by plane, Barcelona and Girona airports are both good options. Beaches, fun and nature await at Platja d’Aro!
