Parador de Aiguablava

The Hotel

Modern hotel overlooking the Mediterranean (4*) 

Set on a promontory, the Parador de Aiguablava enjoys superb views along the coastline, out to sea and across the bay. This section of coastline is particularly attractive and more so because it is not built up offering  a beautiful backdrop to this attractively redesigned hotel.

The Parador de Aiguablava is an elegant coastal hotel with an outdoor swimming pool, a sauna and a gymnasium. In addition to this, all of the Parador’s bedrooms have a private balcony and most enjoy the wonderful coastal views. Thoroughly refurbished in 2020 & 2021, this is the most prominent hotel in Aiguablava and its interiors offer stylish, bright spaces, with large windows frequently making the most of the view.

The Aiguablava Parador's restaurant specializes in typical Ampurdanesa cooking with an emphasis on seafood and in the height of summer you can eat down in the cove in the hotel’s beach restaurant 'Mar i Vent'. There is a short footpath down to the beach alongside but you may not want to pull yourselves away from the terrace and its spectacular backdrop.

This modern property is ideal both for individual guests and business groups, and local activities include swimming, sailing, boat excursions, golf, riding, parachuting and mountain biking.

Local Area

In a spectacular setting on a rocky promontory on one of the most beautiful and least built-up stretches of the Costa Brava, Aiguablava, not surprisingly, is one of the most popular Paradors. Spacious, stylish and exceptionally comfortable, it offers stunning views over the sparkling Mediterranean and the hotel has easy access to lovely walks in the surrounding pine forests leading down to a secluded beach.

Those wishing to explore further up and down along the coast will be rewarded with numerous beaches, coves, capes and inlets. The beautiful resort of Rosas, the Dali Museum at Figueres, and the Roman Ampitheatre at Empúries are all a short drive away and make excellent day trips from Aiguablava.

Cuisine

Catalan cuisine relies heavily on ingredients found along the Mediterranean coast, including fresh vegetables (especially tomato, garlic, aubergine, red pepper, and artichoke), wheat products (bread, pasta), olive oils from Arbequina, wines, legumes (beans, chick peas), mushrooms, all sorts of pork preparations (sausages from Vic, ham), all sorts of cheese, poultry, lamb, and many types of fish like sardine, anchovy, tuna, and cod. Traditional Catalan cuisine uses a lot of pasta (second only to the Italian cuisine) and cod (salted, dried, fresh, etc.). The cuisine includes many preparations that mix sweet and salty and stews with sauces based on botifarra (raw pork sausage) and the characteristic picada (ground almonds, hazelnuts, pine nuts, etc. sometimes with garlic, herbs, biscuits).

How to get there

Located 4 km from Begur, 46 km from Girona and 146 km from Barcelona, the Parador is reached from Barcelona along the A-7 motorway, taking the junction to Vidreres, and going through Platja dAro, Palamós and Palafrugell, or from France along the same motorway turning off at Figueras, to reach the coastal road through Vilademat, Verges, Corçá, La Bisbal, Torrent, Pals and Begur. This same road can be reached from Girona to Corçá.
