If your idea of the perfect getaway involving a day of tranquility on a quiet beach listening to the waves lapping against the shore, welcome to Begur. The calas (coves) are like hidden gems dotted along the coastline, inviting you into the crystal clear waters for a cooling swim.
We recommend a visit to Cala de Sa Tuna, which is enclosed by greenery, offering a secluded spot to feel the warm sun on your skin. Another beautiful cove to explore is Cala Aiguablava, where you can feel the golden sand between your toes as you take a walk along the beach. A snorkelling paradise awaits you in Cala Pedrosa, where you will be able to spot colourful marine life in turquoise waters. There are so many stunning calas around Begur, so make sure you visit at least one of these for an ultimate weekend getaway,
