The Festamar was the first place I stayed in Estartit (and my first Costa Brava Holiday), so it holds a special place in my heart. Unfortunately, I have had to change this post from the one I intended to write. It had been my intention to tell you all about the Festamar Apartments and how to get there, the prices etc. However, it appears that Skytours have dropped the apartments from their holiday brochure. So where does that leave us holidaymakers?
Well, if you’re like me and the majority of visitors to L’Estartit on the Costa Brava, you’re going to find it harder to arrange a package holiday to the resort. Lets face it most of us book our Estartit Holiday through a travel agent. Who needs the inconvenience of trying to organise; flights, transfers, hotel accommodation, kids clubs and so on. That’s not to say that you cannot book everything yourself, you can, its just extra hassle. I’m still checking with tour operators and travel agents to see if any of them have the Festamar Apartments in their travel brochure. If any one reading this has seen the apartments in this year’s brochure, please let me know.
How to book the Festamar Holiday Apartments direct.
To book the direct just go to Festamar.com
On the home page select (En) icon at the top of the screen to translate the page into English. On the left hand side of the screen you will see the online reservation box. Select your check in date and check out date then hit search. On the next page there are a number of options for apartments and villas, the top two apply to the Festamar. The top box shows the price for the 2/4 Person Apartments the second box is for the 4/6 Person Apartments, the price shown is per apartment not per person. If you like the price shown just fill in the number of children and adults and hit select. The next page is where you fill in your payment details.
How to get to Estartit, Costa Brava from the airport – Taxi
If you want to book a taxi from the airport to Estartit just email the Festamar at festamar @ arbresa.es and they will arrange one for you. You will need to give them your flight details and the number of passengers. The price is normally between 60-70 Euros.
How to get to Estartit, Costa Brava from the airport – Drive
Take the AP-7 motorway from Gerona on the L’Escala-bound carriageway.
When you get to L’Escala, take the road to Torroella de Montgrí- L'Estartit. The distance from Gerona to Estartit is about 40km.
Flights to Gerona
If you are going book your own flights then the cheapest seats I have found are with Ryanair. Normally they have four flights a day going to Gerona depending on which UK airport you fly from.
At the moment Ryan air has FREE return flights to Gerona, all you have to pay is the taxes and baggage charge.
As I said at the beginning, this was not the post I intended to write but I hope it was of some help. When I have found out what is happening, with to regard to the Festamar, I will write a more comprehensive post.

Thomson are doing the Festemar this year... seems to be the only tour operator left in L'Estartit.
Hi Skyraker,
I'm a bit puzzled. My local Thompson had a listing for Estartit, but for some reason could not book it.
I checked their web site and although the Festamar (their main appts) was showing, it could not be booked.
Looks like I'm going to have to do some more checking.
All the best - John
John,
We booked locally through torrent-api.com and got the Nautic apartments (The old club nautico, big apts next to the old ski beach, on the harbour) 2 double bedroom, harbour/sea view, 2 weeks June 28th - July 12th for 1200 euros (about 800 pounds... all in)
I think it's a cracking deal considering the location (you could throw a stone into the harbour from the balcony).
We used to stay there back in the 80's/90s and couldn't fault it then.
Flights with the cowboys at Ryanair.
Cheers
Des.
Hi Skyraker,
Thanks for the info. I had a quick look at the site you mentioned, looks good.
I will have a good look through it over the next couple of weeks. At the moment I'm up to my neck in it, with my money making sites.
I'm jealous, it does not look like I can get to Estartit until Sept. They say an internet business gets you away from the 9-5, it does except its now 5am - 9pm.
Anyway thanks again
all the best- John
