10 hotels with sea views on the Costa Brava

Hôtel Reimar is a classic Costa Brava hotel: comfortable, well-kept accommodation, a warm welcome and, above all, everything you need to unwind and relax.

The beach is literally a stone's throw from your room, and if that's too far, just stop by the hotel swimming pool! The view over the great bay of Palamos is obviously a big plus!

Head for Cadaqués, reputed to be one of the most charming villages on the Costa Brava. Hotel Calina offers you the chance to stay in Port Lligat, a pretty cove just a 10-minute walk from the centre, where Dali himself made his home!

From the hotel's large terrace, you can enjoy a view almost identical to the one that inspired the Master, with the added bonus of deckchairs and a pool to relax in. Modern, clean and welcoming, there's nothing to complain about here.

The Costa Brava is not all big, modern hotels: Hostal Sa Rascasse is a different kind of hotel, a beautifully renovated, intimate residence with just a few rooms, secretly located under the pine trees near Begur.

Here, the coastline is one of the most beautiful on the Costa Brava, with its coves, beaches, cliffs and the Cami de Ronda hiking trail: dive in, you're by the sea!

The Grand Hotel Reymar is one of the must-visit hotels in Tossa de Mar, an institution in this resort considered by many to be the most pleasant on the Costa Brava. This 4-star hotel fully deserves its ranking: the services are excellent from A to Z, from the welcome offered by the staff to the comfort of the rooms and the hotel's restaurants.

Add to this the nearby beach and superb swimming pool, and you have a true Costa Brava classic.

Tamariu is one of those rare Costa Brava resorts spared the overflow of tourists, a place where you can enjoy the charms of this superb coastline to the full. The Hotel Hostalillo, on the edge of the cove, is the ideal pied-à-terre.

Enjoy the sunrise over the Mediterranean from the terrace of your room, before having breakfast in the shade of the pine trees, then heading down to the beach for your first swim, just a stone's throw away... An idyllic picture!

Back to Cadaqués, but this time on the heights of the village: a location that allows the Hotel Rec de Palau to enjoy splendid sea views from the terrace and most of the rooms.

An establishment with real cachet, the Hotel Rec de Palau charms its guests in every way thanks to the overall quality of its services. Special mention should be made of the infinity pool under the pine trees, with a view of the sea...

How would you like to enjoy a self-catering holiday on the Costa Brava? That's what Casa Concha Apartamentos has to offer, with fully-equipped studios and flats for 2 to 8 people. Perfect for families or groups of friends.

At Calella de Palafrugell, your balcony overlooks the sea: the beach is accessible directly from the hotel, via a small private staircase. A real cocoon where you'll quickly feel at home.

Set right on the beach, it's hard to get much closer to the sea than the Hostal Spa Empúries. And what's more, it's on a beach just outside L'Escala, in a peaceful setting right next to the superb Greco-Roman archaeological site of Empúries.

While sea views are a must from the rooms, Hostal Spa Empúries has everything you need for a total wellness break, with a full spa service (massages, sauna, sensory therapy and swimming pool), and two on-site restaurants.

At the GHT Miratge, you can be sure of enjoying the rooftop swimming pool with complete peace of mind: the hotel is for adults only, and does not accept guests under the age of 16. Perfect for recovering from the festive nights in Lloret de Mar!

This comfortable, modern 4-star hotel is located directly on the seafront of the Costa Brava's liveliest resort: we can't recommend enough a room with a view of the Mediterranean.

You don't need a big budget for a waterfront holiday on the Costa Brava: Camping & Bungalows Platja Brava boasts an unbeatable location, with direct access to the great Pals beach: miles of sand just for you!

Camping yes, but in comfort: at Platja Brava, you can rent very pleasant, fully-equipped bungalows sleeping 4 to 6 people. Perfect for holidays with children, who can enjoy a wide range of leisure activities right on site.
