Holidays in Tamariu

An introduction to Tamariu

Some people swear by holidays in Tamariu. In fact, they won't go anywhere else. Come and see the magic for yourself.

Forget everything you've heard about the Costa Brava. Forget the English pubs and the fry ups. And forget the blaring night clubs. Let's start again.

Imagine a small bay, sheltered on both sides by richly wooded headlands. Imagine a simple town of whitewashed houses and pavement cafes winding its way down the slopes to the sea. Imagine a small but perfectly formed stretch of white sand, sprinkled with sun beds and caressed by a clear blue sea. Viola! This is Tamariu - Costa Brava's prettiest resort.

Whether you're a seasoned devotee or jetting off at the last minute, holidays in Tamariu never fail to stun. Try the Hotel Hostalillo – in a gorgeous setting and just steps from the beach. Villas poke through the surrounding pines and apartments sit by the beach. But this isn't a busy resort. Off the beaten track and off the bus routes, Tamariu is a hidden treasure.

Tamariu holidays are as laid back as a siesta. Snorkelling, sailing and pedaloes are about as hectic as it gets. A leisurely round of golf on one of the nearby courses? Or exploring the countryside on horse back? Cap Begur is the place to go if you fancy extra beaches. But don't do it all at once – save some for next year.

After sunset, make like the Spanish. Sample different dishes with tapas. And sit out in the warm evening air with a fine glass of wine. You'll soon get the hang of it – salud!
