LOOK INTO THE ART AND CULTURE OF EMPORDÀ THROUGH ITS CHARACTERS

Welcome to Casa Arena

IN LOVE WITH CAP DE CREUS

A couple in love with Cadaqués and the Cap de Creus is embarking on a tourism project focused on quality and refined taste with the aim of making guests feel right at home, and they make it incredibly easy for us to do so. 

The abandoned house set along a dry stone wall beyond Ses Oliveres where the tramuntana winds brought a sea of fine sand is a memory that cannot be erased for Anna and Xavi. That's where their children played when the family went to Cadaqués, and they called it the sand house. These memories go back more than 20 years ago, and the name they have given the project that they started in the midst of the pandemic is a beautiful tribute to memory. Casa Arena – the Sand House – is a group of ideally-located apartments and houses in Cadaqués and Llançà. They are fully restored, tastefully decorated, and aim to offer a blissful, idyllic stay that reflects the way of life in the Empordà.

With the sea always visible here or there, each space is unique and committed to the same pillars: quality, comfort, spectacular furnishings with colors that inspire inner peace, and decorations that underline and embellish every last spot. Casa Arena's accommodations are not tourist apartments, they are homes with souls.

Moreover, guests are offered an extensive array of services that make their stay even more relaxing. For example, guests can request a fully-stocked fridge, get extra cleaning service, or order a baby kit to make travel easier. The people behind Casa Arena also make it possible to book leisure and cultural experiences: tickets for concerts or art galleries, renting a boat to sail along the coast, or booking a tour on the iconic Charter Sant Isidre, a precious century-old ship that accompanied Greenpeace on its oceanographic work.

If you are a solo traveler who wants to connect with the essence of things, a couple who wants to spend a romantic weekend together, a group of friends with an upcoming reunion on the agenda, or a family seeking to add to your photo album, Casa Arena is waiting for you. You will be more than welcome. //
