Tossa de Mar Holidays on the Costa Brava
Tossa de Mar is one of the prettiest resorts on Spain's Costa Brava, set around a sandy beach beneath a historic walled old town. It has a scenic, characterful feel that sets it apart from the bigger, brasher resorts.
British families and couples come for the clear coves, the warm Mediterranean and the relaxed, good-looking setting, with plenty of charm packed into a walkable town.
Where to stay in Tossa de Mar
Hotel Golden Bahia de Tossa and Spa is a four star resort hotel with a spa in Tossa de Mar, a comfortable base for exploring the town and coast.
Getting there and when to go
Tossa de Mar is reached by package flight to the region and a transfer along the coast. The sunny season runs from late spring to October, with the height of summer busiest and the shoulder months pleasantly mild and quieter.
Beaches and resorts
The main beach is sandy and framed by the old town walls, with rocky coves and clear water nearby that are excellent for swimming and snorkelling. The setting is the resort's great strength.
Food and things to do
Catalan cooking, fresh seafood and Spanish staples are all on offer. Beyond the beach there is the historic old town to wander, plus coastal walks, boat trips and gentle water sports.
Who it suits
Tossa de Mar suits families and couples who want a scenic, characterful beach holiday with charm and clear water rather than heavy nightlife.
