Family Hotels in Platja d'Aro with Easy Golf Access
5 family-friendly hotels with golf in Platja d'Aro . Handpicked for families who want the best.
Platja d'Aro pulls double duty for golfing families: the town sits on a 2km arc of swimmable sand, and the Aro Mas Nou course is a 7-minute drive from any seafront hotel. PGA Catalunya, Empordà and Pals all sit within 25 to 35 minutes by car, so a serious player can rotate four courses in a week and still make pool time before lunch. The five hotels below all run pools, family rooms or kid-friendly facilities, and they sit within a 10-minute walk of the beach.
Platja d'Aro grew from a fishing hamlet into the southern Costa Brava's second-largest family resort, but it kept the human scale. The waterfront promenade runs uninterrupted for 2km, the side streets are pedestrian-friendly, and the rougher cliffs of Cala Rovira and Sa Conca sit a 15-minute walk away if you want to swap sand for snorkel. The town fills with Catalan families on weekends, which is the best honesty test of any Spanish coastal resort.

Why Platja d'Aro suits a family golf trip
Aro Mas Nou is the obvious draw. The course climbs above the bay through pines and cork oaks, the par-72 layout is short enough to play with juniors, and a half-day round leaves you back at the hotel by 1pm. Green-fee partnerships with most four-star Platja d'Aro hotels knock 15 to 25 percent off rack rates for guests booking through reception.
Beyond the local course, Platja d'Aro sits in the geographical middle of Costa Brava golf. PGA Catalunya is 25 minutes inland, Empordà and Peralada add 35 minutes northbound, and the new Pals course sits 30 minutes north along the coast road. That puts six high-quality courses inside the radius parents will tolerate driving with a sleeping toddler in the back.
Parent's take
Parents who pick Platja d'Aro for golf usually mention the same thing: it is calmer than Lloret but livelier than Sant Feliu. The promenade plays out at family pace, the beach has a lifeguard from June to mid-September, and the cluster of golf courses within a 30-minute radius gives the golfing parent variety without the daily long drive.
Our Top 5 Picks
Hotels in Platja d'Aro with golf, sorted by guest rating.
Silken Platja d'Aro
1 Carrer de Josep Maria Vila, 17250 Platja d'Aro, Spain
Excellent
100 reviews
Silken Platja d'Aro is a four-star with a rooftop pool, a heated indoor pool and a small gym, sitting two streets back from the central beach. Aro Mas Nou is a 7-minute drive uphill, and reception holds partner-rate vouchers for PGA Catalunya, Empordà and Pals.
From
€425/night
Why families love Silken Platja d'Aro
Silken works for our golf weeks because the rooftop pool stays open until 10pm and the rooms have proper blackout blinds for jet-lagged children. The breakfast room handles golfers heading out at 7.30am with thermos coffee and packed-fruit boxes, and the kids menu in the bar fits the 6pm dinner crowd. The 5-minute walk to the beach is shaded by the side streets.
Park Hotel San Jorge & Spa by Escampa Hotels
Avenida de Andorra, 28, 17250 Platja d'Aro, Spain
Excellent
100 reviews
Park Hotel San Jorge & Spa sits above the quieter Cala Rovira cove on the southern edge of Platja d'Aro, with a spa, two pools and a terraced garden running down to its own bathing platform. Aro Mas Nou is 5 minutes by car, and the hotel runs a green-fee package with the club.
From
€657/night
Why families love Park Hotel San Jorge & Spa by Escampa Hotels
We rate Park San Jorge for younger families because the private cove keeps the toddler away from the busier town beach. The kids pool sits on a separate terrace from the adult pool, the spa runs a family hour twice a week, and the breakfast spread covers gluten-free without the usual three-day notice. Aro Mas Nou packages save around 20 euros per round.
Hotel Planamar by Escampa Hotels
Av. de la Pau, 44, 17250 Platja d'Aro, Spain
Excellent
100 reviews
Hotel Planamar by Escampa Hotels is a beachfront four-star at the southern end of Platja d'Aro promenade, with a rooftop pool, a kids pool and a terrace bar facing the bay. Aro Mas Nou is 8 minutes by car, and the hotel works with a local taxi firm at fixed rates for golf transfers.
From
€762/night
Why families love Hotel Planamar by Escampa Hotels
Planamar earns its place because the location is hard to beat: 30 metres of pedestrian walkway separates the lobby from the sand, and you do not cross any roads to reach the beach. The rooftop pool deck is small but kept tidy, the kids pool gets sun until 5pm, and the buffet handles fussy eaters with pasta-and-sauce stations every night.
Hotel Costa Brava
Punta d'en Ramis, 17250 Platja d'Aro, Spain
Excellent
100 reviews
Hotel Costa Brava is a three-star sitting one block back from the central beach, with an outdoor pool, a small kids splash zone and family triple rooms. Aro Mas Nou is 7 minutes by car, and the hotel sells discount green-fee vouchers at the front desk.
From
€583/night
Why families love Hotel Costa Brava
Hotel Costa Brava is our budget pick for a golf and family week. The pool is busy in school holidays but the splash zone gives toddlers their own corner, the rooms are clean and air-conditioned, and the staff hand-wrote a list of nearby tapas spots that handle children before 8pm. Price-to-location is hard to beat south of Lloret.
Hotel Cap Roig & Spa by Brava Hoteles
Avenida Andorra, 18, 17250 Platja d'Aro, Spain
Very Good
100 reviews
Hotel Cap Roig & Spa by Brava Hoteles sits on the cliffs at Punta d'en Ramis, the quieter northern end of Platja d'Aro, with two pools, a spa, a private rocky cove and family suites. Aro Mas Nou is a 6-minute drive, and the hotel pre-arranges PGA Catalunya tee times at partner rates.
From
€966/night
Why families love Hotel Cap Roig & Spa by Brava Hoteles
Cap Roig works if you want quiet without losing services. The private cove is rocky rather than sandy, but the seaside pool deck handles the swim window for kids who prefer chlorine. The family suite has a separate kids room, the spa runs evening family hours twice a week, and the restaurant terrace catches the sunset over the bay before bedtime.
💡Booking tips for golf and family in Platja d'Aro
- 1Book Aro Mas Nou through your hotel rather than online. Receptions at Park San Jorge, Planamar and Cap Roig hold partner-rate vouchers that work out 20 percent cheaper than booking direct, and they pre-arrange the 7-minute taxi for around 12 euros each way.
- 2Pick the seafront strip if your kids prefer the beach to the pool. The four hotels along Avinguda S'Agaró and Carrer Tarragona are within 50 metres of sand, while Cap Roig sits in the quieter Punta d'en Ramis cove if you want fewer people on the same patch of beach.
- 3Plan one rest day around the Camí de Ronda walk south to Sant Antoni de Calonge. The cliff path runs flat enough for an eight-year-old, three coves break up the route with swims, and the cove restaurants do early kids menus that suit the post-walk hunger.
- 4Buy a discount golf pass from the Costa Brava Tourist Office on day one. The pass packages Aro Mas Nou with PGA Catalunya, Empordà and Pals at single-round rates of 70 to 100 euros, which beats walk-up by 30 to 50 euros if you plan four rounds in a week.
- 5Check whether your hotel has a kids splash pool separate from the main pool. Park San Jorge and Cap Roig both run them, while Hotel Costa Brava and Silken Platja d'Aro have only the main pool, which means a busier swim window when school holidays push families to the same body of water.
