This spectacular golf resort is peacefully located in the north of the Costa Brava, amidst wonderful lush green surrounds, but is still just a short distance from a range of cultural sights. It is 20 minutes to a beautiful bay and the nearest beaches along the Costa Brava as well as 10 minutes from an array of pretty villages such as the main town of Figueres where a railway station, bus stop, shops and the Dali museum are to be found. It is just under 30 km to Empuriabrava where bars, pubs and nightclubs are located and it is well worth paying a visit to the seaside resort of Roses, which is around 40 km away and L'Escala that is approximately 33 km from the hotel and features Roman ruins. The tourist centre of Cadaques is 53 km from the hotel. Girona and Barcelona airports are 60 km and 160 km from the hotel respectively. The area's appetising gastronomy is famous throughout Europe.
