Blanes Holidays

The resort of Blanes offers quiet, relaxing holidays on the Costa Brava. Holidays in Blanes are particularly popular with Spanish holidaymakers, especially families and couples who are drawn to the winning combination of sun, sea and sand. This former fishing village retains much of its original charm despite its modern high-rise buildings along the beachfront.

Historic Blanes
The coastline stretches 2.5 miles, (four kilometres) along the coast and features small rocky coves and wide sandy beaches. Here visitors can soak up the sun or try their hand at a wealth of water sports. Holidays in Blanes also offer a town of Blanes rich in history. Visitors can explore the 13th-century castle of Sant Joan overlooking the town, ancient churches and monuments, and crumbling architecture.

Blanes excursions
Juxtaposed against this ancient history, modern Blanes is bustling with bars, restaurants, shops, street markets and hotels. Those seeking louder nightlife can head to Lloret de Mar - a louder neighbour along the coast. Holidays in Blanes include popular excursions such as trips to the two botanical gardens, a fun day out at Water World and the Universal Studio theme park, or a daytrip to Barcelona, 37 miles, (60 kilometres) away.
