Make a holiday rental home or villa in Sant Antoni de Calonge, Spain your home away from home

Sant Antoni de Calonge is the name for the modern seaside resort that sits on the Costa Brava, between Palamos and Playa de Aro. Together with the original medieval village known simply as ‘Calonge’, Sant Antoni de Calonge makes up the municipality of the same name, and is home to some of the most modern and best quality holiday rental accommodation in the region.

Things to do in Sant Antoni de Calonge, Spain

Sailing, water skiing and scuba diving are three of the most prominent activities along the Costa Brava, and the bay of Sant Antoni de Calonge has a number of water sports to provide these options during summer months – the perfect alternative to sunbathing on the glorious beaches. Amenities along the seafront are more than adequate for self-caterers, but there is always the option of heading to one of the big supermarkets along the coast if you so prefer.

Just 4km inland from the bay of Sant Antoni is the village of Calonge, and visitors to the area will likely find themselves dividing their time between the two. The old village dates back to the 13th century, and that history is evident in some of the buildings – such as the old town walls and the towers of Calonge Castle. The village has a more traditional feel than Sant Antoni de Calonge, with traditional Catalan shops lining the narrow streets. The restaurants are a particular highlight in Calonge, and visitors can expect a hearty and tasty meal here without having to pay the inflated tourist prices sometimes found along the coast.
