Golf Living in the Maresme and on the Costa Brava: Where to Buy
For many international buyers, golf is far more than a sport: it is a way of living outdoors all year round. Catalonia, and in particular the Maresme and the Costa Brava, is home to prestigious courses just minutes from the sea, with homes that combine privacy, generous gardens and beautifully kept surroundings. Here are the most interesting areas to buy a home near the golf course.
The Maresme: golf half an hour from Barcelona
In Sant Andreu de Llavaneres, the Club de Golf Llavaneres is one of the great attractions of one of the Maresme’s most exclusive residential areas. Its surroundings feature sea-view villas, established residential estates and the Port Balís marina a few minutes away. Neighbouring Sant Vicenç de Montalt shares the same lifestyle of golf, sea and discretion.
