Apartments in Empuriabrava -- Studios and Holiday Rentals
Empuriabrava isn't like its fellow towns along the Costa Brava. Instead of oozing traditional Catalan vibes and introducing a new tapas bar around every twist and turn, Empuriabrava offers a high-end tourist destination with a luxury harbour and a vibrant nightlife to go with it. It's also unusual in its layout, too, with 24km of canals spidering out through the town and more than 5,000 private jetties dotted around. In fact, it is the largest residential marina in the entire world, making it the perfect place for the elite masses to congregate in the summer months. Here, you can trade sunbathing for star-watching and sangria in a family-run restaurant for cocktails in a new-age harbourside bar. If you want to explore the finer points of the town, check into our apartments in Empuriabrava, which offer spectacular views of the canals and marina, and offer an insight into the luxurious way of living that dominates the area.
