UNESCO
Most Beautiful Bays In The World Club

Bay of Roses Costa Brava


This is a really impressive distinction for a bay to have. The bay must have...

  • flora and fauna of significant interest
  • outstanding natural beauty
  • appreciated at local and national levels
  • have two features recognised by UNESCO in the cultural or natural assets categories

The Bay of Roses became a member of the Most Beautiful Bays in the World Club because it has 3 natural parks, 45 km of award winning (EMAS and Blue Flag) beaches, a large number of nautical sports facilities and is renowned for it's fabulous cuisine!

There are 48 bays in the world that are in the Most Beautiful Bays in the World Club (which was founded in 1997).
