The historic 18th Century town of L'AMETLLA DE MAR is just 20km south of Miami Playa easily accessed from its own motorway exit. After years of attacks from Berber pirates, which even the Catalan military couldn't always repell, despite building a castle close to sea, the settlement gradually flourished as local families took full advantage of the abundant fish around these shores. Fishing continues to play a very import part in the life of the town and not surprisingly there are many restaurants specialising in fish and seafood.
If you are looking for a relaxing quiet getaway then L'ametlla De Mar is the place for you, as todays visitors to the resort tend to be those who have spent the day on the beach or perhaps exploring the area. Your evenings can be spent taking in a relaxing walk then onto a romantic meal in one the many restaurants or perhaps taking it easy at your Villa with a barbecue and a traditional glass of Sangria .
There are some small shops, restaurants and cafes to be found around the town but most tend to be situated in the town square, overlooking the picturesque harbour.
Tres Calas
is where the majority of our L'Ametlla villas are situated. Its a residential area of privately owned villas of which about 60% are Spanish owned and occupied. No high rise developments on Tres Calas ! The town itself is about 3.5km from our villas but there is also a small commercial centre within about 1500m with small supermarket, bar, restaurant and several other small shops.
