Hotels in S'Agaró

S'Agaró

S'Agaró is a small, upmarket resort on the Costa Brava between Sant Feliu de Guíxols and Platja d'Aro, part of the municipality of Castell-Platja d'Aro in the Baix Empordà. It grew from the 1920s on the headland between the beaches of Sant Pol and Sa Conca. The industrialist Josep Ensesa and the architect Rafael Masó planned it as a garden city of seaside villas and a small inn, in harmony with the landscape. The original development has been protected as a historic ensemble of national cultural interest since 1995. Its coast also takes in the coves of Pedrosa and Vaques and the cape of Punta d'en Pau. A rebuilt coastal path, the camí de ronda, runs between sea, rocks and pines and is part of the long-distance GR 92. To the south it follows Sant Pol beach into Sant Feliu de Guíxols, and to the north it crosses Sa Conca towards Port d'Aro and Platja d'Aro. The hotels and villas of the headland overlook Sant Pol bay. S'Agaró suits travellers looking for a quiet seaside base with walks along the coast. Girona airport is about 40 km away, and Barcelona about an hour and a half by road.
