Those who are looking to plan a perfect seaside getaway in Spain this summer could easily already be browsing our incredible vacation rentals on the Costa Brava. However, if you are looking to narrow your search down and find a perfect resort town with dreamy beaches and stunning surroundings, then we highly recommend our villas in Lloret de Mar.

Located 70km north east of Barcelona, along the southern stretch of the beloved Costa Brava, the town of Lloret de Mar has Iberian and Roman origins and is first mentioned in writing in the 10th century. It eventually became an important port town in the 18th century and, as a result, transformed into an affluent community. This led to a large-scale rebuilding of the town and the construction of some stunning Neoclassical palaces that remain throughout to this day. By the 20th century, the first tourists began to converge in the town and summer villas and hotels were built. The civil war and the post-war period thereafter did lead to a pause in the growth of tourism in Lloret de Mar but it was reborn and continued soon after. Lloret de Mar then continued to attract more and more visitors and build its reputation and is now one of the must popular resorts along the Costa Brava and one of the best-known gems in the Mediterranean.

If you find a villa in Marbella or a holiday rental in Málaga, you are likely to spend time enjoying the famously amazing beaches of the area. Located along the coastline of Andalusia, a region with an impossibly long stretch of perfect beaches that boast soft sand, rich blue waters, palm trees, well-equipped and chic beach clubs, excellent facilities, and astonishing sunsets. These are ideal places for those looking to work on their tans, lay out and relax, splash around in the waters with their kids, sip on drinks with their pals, go for romantic strolls, try all sorts of water sports, and much more besides. Basically, if you are looking for an ideal destination for sun and fun and a seaside break, it is a perfect option for spending long days enjoying all that the dreamy beaches of Marbella and Málaga have to offer. 

The island of Mallorca is a perfect sun holiday destination in Spain that attracts travellers from all over the world almost year round due to its incredible weather and wide selection of truly dazzling beaches that boast soft sandy shores, blindingly blue waters, and scenic settings. From idyllic long golden strands to atmospheric craggy little bays that frame jewel-toned seas, there are all sorts of different beaches to choose from right across the island if you have found a villa in Mallorca. Among all of these, one of the most beautiful and most beloved is the infinitely charming Caló des Moro.

Caló des Moro always tops lists of the best beaches in Mallorca and for good reason: it looks like something from a postcard! The impossibly blue waters, against the lush greenery and impressive pale cliffs all around this picturesque cove are truly idyllic. And those waters! They are so clear that you can perfectly see the seabed from the cliffs overlooking the beach. For swimming and snorkelling, it is a dreamy location. It is, however, also bit of a victim of its own success and has been attracting massive crowds throughout the summer months since images of it went viral online. From June to September, you can expect large numbers of visitors and some people even lined up for three hours at a time to access the beach during Covid restrictions. While normally not quite as intense as that, it is definitely now in high demand among tourists on holiday in Mallorca.

White-washed buildings with flowers spilling out from the windows and balconies, paved streets winding through a charming historic core, an amazing coastline with two Blue Flag beaches among the many different strands that are on offer, a microclimate boasting over 325 days of sunshine per year, an endless selection of excellent eateries and pretty little coffee spots to choose from: this is the image of idyllic loveliness presented by the seaside town of Estepona along Spain’s beloved Costa del Sol.
