Canyelles Beach Villas: Two Holiday Homes Near Lloret de Mar's Quietest Bay

What does the perfect Costa Brava beach day look like? For many, it's a small, sheltered cove where the water turns turquoise and the sand feels almost private. Calla Canyelles, tucked along the coastline of Lloret de Mar, fits that description beautifully — and it comes with two excellent restaurants right on the bay. Gammarus serves fresh seafood steps from the water, while Sybius offers a relaxed setting for a long, sun-soaked lunch. Both are a short walk from the villas below.

This guide is for travellers who want the coast without the crowds. We've picked two holiday villas within easy walking distance of Canyelles beach, each with a private pool, outdoor terrace, and room for families or groups. Read on to see which one suits your holiday style.

Our favourite villas near Canyelles beach

Villa Valeria

Villa Valeria

Eight hundred metres from Canyelles beach — roughly ten minutes on foot — Villa Valeria feels like a classic Spanish family house. The 550m² garden wraps around the home, with a private 8m x 4m pool at its centre and a covered outdoor kitchen where a stone barbecue anchors long summer dinners. Mornings start on the front terrace with coffee, and evenings end with a swim under the stars.

Inside, the 180m² layout sleeps nine across the 1.4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, with a ground-floor bedroom and en-suite for anyone who'd rather not climb stairs. The living room opens straight onto the terrace, and the kitchen flows out to the pool and outdoor cooking area. Practical touches — dishwasher, washing machine, internet, and a dining table that seats the whole group — make it easy to settle in. Pets are welcome, the nearest grocery is 600m away, and a tennis court sits just 500m down the road.

Villa Alba

Villa Alba

If Villa Valeria is the sociable family house, Villa Alba is its quieter, more secluded cousin. Set in the Font de Sant Llorenc urbanisation, around 1 kilometre from Canyelles beach, this 120m² villa unfolds on one level — a rare find that makes it especially good for multi-generational groups or anyone who dislikes stairs. The 600m² garden hides a saltwater pool with a small waterfall, sun loungers, and a covered terrace where the barbecue lives.

Four bedrooms and 2 bathrooms accommodate up to ten guests, with a second poolside bathroom adding convenience on busy beach days. The open-plan kitchen and living room flow out to the garden, and extras like satellite TV, a DVD player, a fireplace, and heating extend the villa's usability beyond peak summer. Private parking sits on a quiet street out front, the nearest restaurant is just 1 kilometre away, and pets are welcome. WiFi is included, and the air-conditioned rooms keep things cool after a morning on the sand.

Side-by-side comparison

Both villas sleep groups comfortably with private pools and walking access to Canyelles beach — the choice comes down to layout, garden size, and how close you want to be to the sand.
