Santa Cristina d’Aro and its surroundings: nature, exclusivity and quality of life in the heart of the Costa Brava

To speak of Santa Cristina d’Aro is to speak of one of the most privileged corners of the Costa Brava. A municipality where tranquillity, natural landscapes and quality of life coexist with an excellent sporting, gastronomic and cultural offering.

Just a few minutes from the sea and perfectly connected to towns such as Sant Feliu de Guíxols and Platja d’Aro, Santa Cristina d’Aro has become one of the most sought-after destinations for those who wish to live surrounded by nature without giving up comfort, privacy and high-level services.

In this unique setting, Finques Santa Cristina selects exclusive homes, high-end houses and properties with character for those who understand a home as a way of life.

Nature and outdoor sport all year round

One of the great attractions of Santa Cristina d’Aro is its direct connection with nature. Surrounded by the Les Gavarres and l’Ardenya-Cadiretes mountain ranges, and crossed by charming rural paths, the municipality offers an ideal setting for enjoying outdoor sport at any time of year.

Hiking through forests and historic paths

The hiking routes allow you to discover unique Mediterranean landscapes, paths among cork oaks, natural viewpoints and historic corners full of authenticity. Particularly noteworthy are the routes towards Romanyà de la Selva, one of the most charming villages in the area.

Romanyà preserves the essence of the most authentic Costa Brava: stone houses, silence, nature and exceptional historical heritage, with such emblematic sites as the Cova d’en Daina, one of the most important dolmens in Catalonia.

Mountain biking and cycling in a privileged setting

Santa Cristina d’Aro is also a benchmark for lovers of cycling and mountain biking. Its forest tracks and technical routes cross woods and hills with spectacular views, turning the area into a true paradise for amateur cyclists and professional athletes alike.

The combination of Mediterranean climate, gentle gradients and nature makes this setting a perfect place to train or simply enjoy sport in peace.

Horse riding and connection with nature

The surroundings of Santa Cristina d’Aro maintain a strong tradition linked to the equestrian world. Horse riding forms part of the area’s lifestyle and offers the chance to enjoy the landscape from a different, peaceful and elegant perspective.

Golf in the heart of the Costa Brava

The proximity to some of the best golf courses on the Costa Brava makes Santa Cristina d’Aro a particularly attractive location for enthusiasts of this sport.

The prestigious Club Golf Costa Brava, Golf d’Aro Mas Nou and the proximity to PGA Catalunya Golf and Wellness — now Camiral Golf & Wellness — place the area among the best residential locations on the Costa Brava for those seeking privacy, exclusivity and a lifestyle connected to golf and wellbeing.

Many of the exclusive homes marketed by Finques Santa Cristina are located precisely in privileged areas next to golf courses or very close to these high-end residential environments, where design, tranquillity and nature blend perfectly.

Leisure and experiences with character

Santa Cristina d’Aro is not only notable for its natural surroundings. It also offers an increasingly attractive and sophisticated social and cultural life.

Santa Market: the most exclusive summer on the Costa Brava

During the summer season, Santa Market has become established as one of the most renowned leisure venues on the Costa Brava. Live music, gastronomy, fashion, decoration and a Mediterranean atmosphere make this space an essential meeting point for residents and visitors.

Casa Mágica: creativity and family entertainment

Another of the area’s unique venues is Casa Mágica, a cultural and leisure concept that brings creativity, entertainment and activities for all ages, reinforcing the family-friendly and welcoming character of the municipality.

Quality gastronomy in unique settings

Restaurants are another of the pillars that define the quality of life in Santa Cristina d’Aro and its surroundings.

In Romanyà de la Selva we find one of the most recognised restaurants in the area: Can Roquet, a benchmark gastronomic venue located in a 17th-century masia and recommended by the Michelin Guide.

Its signature cuisine, based on local produce and a carefully curated dining experience, perfectly reflects the elegant and relaxed lifestyle that characterises this part of the Costa Brava.

Solius: spirituality, heritage and tranquillity

Another of the municipality’s most emblematic villages is Solius, known for its monastery and for its natural surroundings of great serenity. Its rural paths and landscapes convey a sense of peace that is difficult to find in other destinations on the Mediterranean coast.

Solius represents the most peaceful and authentic essence of Santa Cristina d’Aro: nature, silence and wellbeing.

Strategic location and excellent connections

Santa Cristina d’Aro stands out not only for its natural and peaceful surroundings, but also for its strategic location and excellent connections with some of the main points of interest on the Costa Brava and in Catalonia.

The municipality is just a few minutes from Sant Feliu de Guíxols and Platja d’Aro, two of the most dynamic towns in the area, with a wide range of shopping, gastronomy and nautical activities.

In addition, Girona and its international airport are located approximately 30 minutes away by car, while Barcelona is just over an hour away, making both weekend getaways and long stays easy for national and international buyers.

Another of the area’s major attractions is its proximity to the prestigious PGA Catalunya Golf and Wellness — now Camiral Golf & Wellness —, considered one of the most exclusive golf and wellness resorts in Europe. Its sporting, gastronomic and wellness offering further strengthens the residential appeal of Santa Cristina d’Aro for those seeking a sophisticated and relaxed lifestyle in a privileged setting.

Its proximity to France and excellent road connections complete an enclave that is especially convenient and attractive for both primary and second homes.
