Buy a house in Begur
Begur is one of the most sought-after villages on the Costa Brava: a castle on the hill, colonial mansions built by the Indianos, and pine-covered slopes running down to turquoise coves. Buying a house here is often a long-held dream, and it deserves a careful search.
We look for you, visit for you, check every document and negotiate the price, so that your house in Begur is a pleasure from day one. Discover our guide to real estate in Begur.
Begur, between the village and the coves
Most houses in Begur sit in residential areas spread over the hills between the village and the sea. Around Aiguablava and Fornells you will find villas with views over the bay. Sa Riera, with its long beach, and Sa Tuna and Aiguafreda, two tiny fishing coves, attract buyers who want to walk down to the water. Closer to the village centre, stone townhouses and Indiano mansions offer a different kind of charm, with shops and restaurants at your door.
Inland, the hamlet of Esclanyà and the countryside towards Pals and Regencós offer more space, larger gardens and farmhouses, while staying a few minutes from the beaches.
Life in a Begur house changes with the seasons. In summer the village is lively, the coves are full and the restaurants on the main square stay open late. From autumn to spring it becomes a quiet Empordà village, with walks along the Camí de Ronda coastal path, markets in the surrounding towns and Girona about forty minutes away for anything the village does not offer.
Property types vary a lot: Indiano townhouses with high ceilings and decorative façades in the village, Mediterranean villas from the seventies and eighties in the urbanisations, contemporary architect-designed houses with large windows facing the sea, and old farmhouses in the inland countryside. Renovation projects are common, and we can help you assess how much work a house really needs.
We will find your house in Begur
Many good houses in Begur change hands discreetly, through local contacts rather than big portals. We search widely, visit on your behalf, film the properties and give you an honest opinion, so that you only travel for the houses that really deserve it.
Our buyers in Begur are mostly families looking for a second home they will use for many summers, couples preparing their retirement on the Costa Brava, and people who already rent here every year and want a place of their own. Some want sea views at any cost, others a quiet garden and a short drive to the beach. We start by understanding what matters most to you.
What to watch out for
Begur is hilly, and plots can be steep: check the access in winter, the number of steps and the parking. Many urbanisations are surrounded by pine forest, which means fire prevention rules apply, including keeping a cleared strip around the house. Properties close to the shore can be affected by Spain’s coastal law (Ley de Costas), and in a protected landscape like this one, extensions and pools must have been properly licensed. Finally, summer traffic to the coves is real, so visit at different times of year if you can.
We check all of this before you commit, then we negotiate and accompany you to the notary. Read more about how our buyer’s agent service works, or if a smaller place suits you better, see how to buy an apartment in Begur.
