Vacation with your dog
Vacation with your dog on the Costa Brava
Your dog is part of the family, and of course, you would prefer to take him along on vacation. On the Costa Brava, this is perfectly possible. Sun, sea, nature, long walks, and the delightful outdoor life make this region a wonderful destination for a vacation with your dog.
At BONVIDA, dogs are very welcome in many of our holiday villas on the Costa Brava. This way, you don't have to arrange for care, and you can enjoy a wonderful vacation in Spain together.
Having your own holiday villa also gives you complete freedom. No crowded hotel or small apartment, but your own place with space, privacy, and a terrace or garden where you can enjoy the Mediterranean life together.
Pet-friendly holiday villas on the Costa Brava
Traveling with a dog sometimes requires just a bit more space and freedom. That's why a holiday villa is ideal.
Several villas have a spacious, fully enclosed garden, allowing your dog to be outside while you relax on the terrace or by the pool. Other villas are wonderfully quiet or close to beautiful walking opportunities.
Also, air conditioning is pleasant during warm summer days, not only for you but also for your dog.
Because each villa is different, we clearly indicate at the accommodation which facilities are available and whether dogs are allowed. This way, you can choose a holiday villa that suits you well.
Enjoying the Costa Brava together
The Costa Brava is a wonderful region to explore with your dog. Along the coast and in the green hinterland, there are plenty of opportunities for beautiful walks.
Take an early morning walk through nature, discover a part of the coast together, or take a relaxing walk at the end of the day when the temperature becomes more pleasant again.
Moreover, the Mediterranean life largely takes place outdoors. On many terraces, you can sit together comfortably, and during trips, your dog doesn't always have to stay behind at the villa.
To the beach with your dog
What could be more fun than going to the sea together?
Along the Costa Brava, you will find various dog beaches and beach areas where dogs are welcome. Here, your dog can enjoy being by the sea, run through the sand, and cool off in the water.
The possibilities vary by location and season. Therefore, on our website, we share separate information about fun dog beaches and other places you can discover together with your dog. Dog beaches on the Costa Brava
Nature and space to explore together
It's not just the coast that makes this region attractive for dog owners. The landscape of the Alt Empordà also invites you to go out and explore.
Among vineyards, olive groves, and small Catalan villages, you will find quiet roads and paths for a walk. And from many of our villas, you don't have to drive far before you are in the middle of the greenery.
This way, you can do something different every day: go to the sea, explore nature, or just relax together at the villa.
Everything you need nearby
Practically speaking, a vacation with your dog on the Costa Brava is easy. In the area, you will find modern pet stores and various veterinarians.
BONVIDA is based in Empuriabrava, right in the area where many of our guests vacation. If you need practical information during your stay, we are nearby and happy to help you further.
Traveling to Spain with your dog
The northern Costa Brava is easily accessible from the Netherlands, Belgium, and Germany. Many guests choose to travel with their own car because it allows them to easily bring their dog's familiar belongings and decide on their breaks along the way.
Traveling by plane can also be possible under certain conditions.
On our separate page Traveling to Spain with your dog, we provide more information about the journey, the EU pet passport, chip and vaccinations, traveling by car, and the possibilities of flying with a dog.
