Holidays in Platja d’Aro – A major Costa Brava beach resort
Platja d’Aro holidays are based in an immensely popular modern resort in the very heart of the Costa Brava, 25 miles south east of Gerona airport. Platja d’Aro holidays offer all the facilities and entertainment you would expect from a major resort including children’s playgrounds, funfairs, cinemas, bowling alleys and waterparks. Platja d’Aro holidays offer a surprising amount of shops for the size of the town and an inexhaustible selection of restaurants, bars, pubs and discos. Holidays in Platja d’Aro are popular with families drawn by the beaches and plentiful entertainment for children. Platja d’Aro holidays also offer plenty of watersports, a couple of first class golf courses, an attractive coastal path to San Antonio de Calonge and good walking and cycling inland in the Gavarres mountains. All this if you can drag yourself away from the beach and the nightlife considered amongst the liveliest on the Costa Brava.
Platja d’Aro beach holidays – A choice of seven different Mediterranean beaches
Platja d’Aro holidays focus on the long seafront promenade which remains animated practically around the clock. There are no less than 7 Platja d’Aro beaches and coves in the bay, and each Platja d’Aro beach has its own atmosphere. The main Platja d’Aro beach, the Platja Gran, is a broad mile-long stretch of golden sand with a small marina with popular waterfront bars. The seafront promenade is lined with bars and restaurants and is the main focus of holidays in Platja d’Aro along with the more traditional town centre with its shops and tapas bars. For a quieter Platja d’Aro beach with pleasant green surrounding try the smaller coves like Cala dels Canyers, Cala del Pi and Sa Conca. Cala Roviro to the north has a more intimate feel. Platja d’Aro beaches are well organised and maintained and boast EU Blue Flags.
Platja d’Aro holidays – In the heart of the Costa Brava
Many other Costa Brava resorts and Mediterranean beaches are nearby. Holidays in Platja d’Aro could easily include a visit to the neighbouring resort of S’Agaro, the fishing town of Palamos and the smaller more upmarket resorts of Calella de Palafrugell, Llafranc and Tamariu. Other worthwhile Platja d’Aro holiday excursions include the old harbour town of Saint Feliu with its medieval monastery, the botanical gardens at Cap Roig, and the monastery at Montserrat. Regular buses run along the coast and to Gerona with its lovely medieval old centre. Platja d’Aro holidays could make use of coastal ferries to visit Tossa de Mar or the incredibly popular larger resort of Lloret de Mar.
