“Llafranc té un encant indefinible.” (“Llafranc has an indefinable charm.”) – Josep Pla, the renowned Catalan writer and journalist born in Palafrugell, often expressed his deep affection for the Costa Brava, especially the coastal towns like Llafranc. This quote captures the subtle magic he believed Llafranc possessed — a place that couldn’t quite be explained, only experienced.
Welcome to Llafranc Holidays
Seafront apartments on the Costa Brava
Discover Llafranc’s charm for yourself at our beautiful 3-bedroom holiday apartments, perfectly located just steps from the beautiful beach. Whether you’re planning a family-friendly beach holiday, a romantic coastal escape, a cultural and gastronomic road trip, or an active break with hiking, cycling, and open water swimming, our self-catering seafront accommodation in Llafranc, Catalonia is the perfect base.
Llafranc is a beautiful fishing village situated in one of the best parts of the Costa Brava called the Baix Empordà. It’s not far from the border with France to the north, and the region’s capital Barcelona to the south.
This picturesque bay is a popular holiday destination for local people and families from all over Europe, who return year after year to soak up the sun, sea, food and culture. It’s a relaxing and fun place for all the family. There’s a safe sandy beach, a lovely pedestrianised seafront promenade, a small marina, rocks to climb and various aquatic activities.
Our seafront apartments overlook the beach, with a gorgeous view in all directions, and they’re also close to all the restaurants serving great local Catalan cuisine. If you’ve forgotten your snorkelling equipment, or need some new batteries, don’t worry because there’s a shop below the apartments that sells all manner of items, including daily foreign newspapers. For food items, there’s a great little supermarket around the corner, a delicatessen, and plenty of places doing delicious takeaway food.
Llafranc has lots of sporting facilities to offer. Canoeing, paddle boarding, sailing and three diving schools. There are lovely walks and mountain biking tracks, and a trip to the San Sebastià lighthouse is a must with stunning views of the Empordà coastline and ancient Iberia ruins. There is a lovely coastal walk to the nearby bays of Calella de Palafrugell to the south and Tamariu to the north. Llafranc also has an amazing tennis club nearby (the Director of Strategy is the CEO of Manchester City Football Club) and within 10 miles there are three championship Golf courses. Day trips to inland towns and villages are also highly recommended – Pals, Girona, Peratallada, and Monells to name but a few!
While Llafranc is great for a family summer holiday, it is arguably even better off season – particularly at Christmas time, when the place is virtually deserted. Many of the local medieval villages put on live nativity shows and reenactments where you can experience the biblical story for yourself, with the nativity in the old village of Pals being one of the most popular in the area.
Our seafront apartments are available for rent throughout the year. Prices vary depending on the season, with July and August being the most popular months, so please use the contact form to check availability and prices.
