The Bay of Infinite Sunsets

Roses is the only town on the Costa Brava that faces west, which means it enjoys the most spectacular sunsets in the region. Unlike the purpose-built marina of Empuriabrava, Roses is a living, breathing fishing town with deep historic roots.

Rising above the town is Mas Fumats, a peaceful residential hill known for its stunning villas and panoramic views. It offers the perfect escape—quiet enough for families, yet only 5 minutes from the buzz of the promenade and the blue-flag beaches. Visit the official website: https://www.roses.cat/
