Best hotels in Calella

Situated right on the stretch of Costa Brava’s golden sands is Calella, an old Spanish village that has grown into one of the region’s favourite beach resorts. Providing a beach break and much more, the palm-dotted waterfront and laid-back attitude is the perfect place to let the worries of everyday life fall away.

Things to do

Make the most of Calella’s beautiful Mediterranean climate and spend as much time as you can outdoors – play games on the beach, sunbathe or swim in the ocean. The resort’s hilly green scenery invites long afternoon walks or bike rides, and back in the town, have a wander round and admire Calella’s old churches. The centre of the resort is the ideal place to sit out and eat lunch, with a good choice of cafes, seafood restaurants plus a few the kids will like. In the evenings, the resort has a sociable and family-friendly nightlife with plenty of pubs and entertainment.
