Apartments in Empuriabrava

Empuriabrava has 473 apartments for rent, with an average price of 139 euros per night and the lowest from 54. The offer is concentrated in three well-differentiated areas. The first is the urban center and the marina, where you will find apartments such as the Apartamentos Empuriabrava Maurici Park or the Aptos. Comte D´Empuries. Here you are close to supermarkets, restaurants and the seafront promenade, but also to the nightlife bustle in high season. It is the most practical option if you do not want to depend on the car for everything.

The second area is the so-called residential canal area, the most characteristic of Empuriabrava. Many apartments, such as the 22B puigmal D, are next to the navigable canals, with moorings for boats. They are quieter, with tree-lined streets and direct access to the beach in some cases, but you need a vehicle to go shopping or out for dinner. The third is the first-line seafront strip, where studios and apartments with views predominate, such as the AwayDays Miami 1 Estudio Vista Mar. They tend to be more expensive and smaller, but the location compensates if what you are looking for is to wake up and be on the sand in two minutes.

As for prices, the difference between high and low season is notable. June and September are the months with the best value for money: the water is already at a good temperature and there are fewer crowds than in July and August, when prices skyrocket and the minimum of 54 euros is almost impossible to find. In winter, many apartments drop a lot, but services such as pools or reception close. To get there, the most common is to fly to Girona-Costa Brava (20 minutes by car) or to Barcelona-El Prat (an hour and a half). If you go by car, the AP-7 leaves you at the Figueres exit and then it is 15 minutes. Once there, getting around by car is almost essential if you stay outside the center, although there is an urban bus service that connects the main areas every 30 minutes in summer.

Before booking, check three things. First, whether the apartment has a parking space included or paid, because in August parking on the street is an odyssey. Second, whether the kitchen is equipped with a dishwasher or washing machine, because not all have one and on long stays it shows. Third, read the cancellation conditions and whether the final cleaning supplement is included in the price you see, because some listings add it at the end and it can increase the bill by 10-15%. It is also worth checking whether the pool is communal or private and whether it is open on the date you travel, because many close in October.
