Fornells

Fornells is one of the coastal settlements of Begur — an authentic little fishing harbour directly next to the bay of Aiguablava, with its own sheltered harbour for small boats, a handful of waterfront restaurants and a quiet atmosphere that is preserved even in high season. Fornells has two faces: the small fishing core directly on the water and the exclusive villa urbanisation of Ses Falugues on the slopes above, with spectacular panoramic sea views. The combination of a direct waterfront location, own harbour and high-quality property makes Fornells popular with sailors, divers and international buyers seeking peace and exclusivity.

Fornells has no daily facilities of its own. Begur is 4 km away. The bay of Aiguablava and Platja Fonda are reachable on foot via the Camí de Ronda.

Living & property

• Ses Falugues — the exclusive villa urbanisation above Fornells, with spectacular panoramic sea views over the bay of Aiguablava. One of the most sought-after addresses on the Costa Brava. Limited supply, high prices.
