Sant Feliu is a bustling harbour and town with the strapline “open all year” and they are absolutely right about that. Look at the slider for a few images of Sant Feliu, the sandy beach, the marina and the rest!

There is any number of bars and restaurants to suit all tastes and pockets. If you have booked with us, go to the guests’ private area for a few suggestions…

There is a market in the market square (surprisingly!) every day except Monday where you can find the freshest fruit and vegetables. In the indoor market you will find fish, meat, cheese and foodie stalls for your delectation.

There is a reasonable sized supermarket just on the market square but lots of major ones within 10 minutes’ drive of Maremar and five minutes’ drive of Sant feliu.

One of our favourite food shops is Can Prat (OK you English, “prat” is Catalan for “field”!!). There you will find Catalan ladies getting their “takeaway” lunch or dinner. More of this and ideas of what to try in our private guests only area.

The shops are fabulous – this is quite a well healed place after all. Lots of clothes, furniture and other items as you would expect.
