Roses Holidays

For the keen sailors out there, Roses holidays are ideal for taking to the ocean’s waves, but you don’t have to own a boat to enjoy this coastal town in Costa Brava – just hiring a vessel will give you access to the wonderful 6-kilometre-long shoreline. It’s peppered with picturesque pebbled coves, temptingly clear turquoise waters and enough child-friendly activities to while away the hours, and then there’s the sheltered sandy beach of L’Almadrava – if you’d rather lounge by the waves than bob along on them, then this is the place to pitch your towel.

Back on dry land, impressive archaeological ruins give you a glimpse into this town’s colourful history, while wonderfully wild hiking routes keep nature lovers in high spirits. With its stroll-worthy marina, chic seafront hotels, delightful outdoors dining options and proximity to Cadaques (Salvador Dalí’s stamping ground), holidays to Roses attract a highbrow crowd that’s into sun, sea and surrealist art.
