Platja d’Aro comprises a strip of bars, restaurants and shops running parallel to, but hidden from, 3km of busy sandy beach. Platja d'Aro offers excellent nightlife, a beautiful beach and some chic shopping with many designer boutiques. Despite the number of bars, Platja d’Aro is a far cry from the standard package location. Platja d’Aro is more of a playground for the cultured Barcelonans who retreat here for their holidays. Placa d’Aro offers sheer civilised enjoyment – truer to the Catalan style of going out.
