Why invest in property in Empuriabrava?
Empuriabrava brings together canals, a marina, boating life and direct sea access in a unique setting.
A unique waterfront setting
Empuriabrava, one of the jewels of the Mediterranean, appeals with its coastline and its network of canals that make boating a way of life. Owning a house with direct water access turns daily outings into simple pleasures: a boat trip, a swim or lunch on the canal-side terrace. Sandy beaches, restaurants and local events complete the picture, offering a good mix of seaside relaxation and an active social life. Buying in Empuriabrava means choosing a lively setting, ideal for water sports and friendly moments with family or friends.
Quality of life and leisure
Empuriabrava offers a quality of life enjoyed by residents of all ages, thanks to a mild climate, natural areas and a wide range of leisure activities. Golf, hiking in protected areas, water sports and coastal walks suit active people, while beaches and promenades suit those looking for peace and relaxation. The location also draws many tourists, so you can let your property as a holiday rental if you wish. Road, rail and air links make it easy to reach the larger nearby cities.
A young and lively town
A young and lively town, Empuriabrava was designed in the 1970s by Josep Bennet around a marina project that transformed the coast. Its growth made it a popular destination on the Costa Brava, attracting visitors and new residents thanks to its original town planning and its appealing marina. Local life combines shops, services and tourist activities all year round, supporting a varied local economy. Buying here means joining a community that is always active, where local traditions and modern leisure sit side by side.
Living in Empuriabrava
Empuriabrava, in the municipality of Castelló d'Empúries, is a residential marina crossed by kilometres of navigable canals: many houses have their own jetty and their boat right outside the door.
At the far end of the Bay of Roses, it lines a long sandy beach and the Aiguamolls de l'Empordà natural park. The old village of Castelló d'Empúries and Figueres are a few minutes away.

Frequently asked questions about property in Empuriabrava
Can a foreign buyer purchase property in Empuriabrava?
+
Yes. Spain places no nationality restrictions on buying property. You do, however, need an NIE, the foreigner identification number, which is required to sign at the notary's and to open a Spanish bank account. We handle this step as part of our support.
What costs should you budget for on top of the property price?
+
As a rule, allow 10 to 15% of the asking price. This covers transfer tax (ITP) for a resale property or VAT for a new build, notary fees, land registry registration and administrative costs. Our online buying costs calculator gives a detailed estimate by region and type of property.
Do you need to be there in person to buy in Empuriabrava?
+
No. Many of our clients buy from abroad. Viewings can be done by video call with a written report, and signing at the notary's is possible with a power of attorney. On site, we check what photos do not show: the real condition, the immediate surroundings, any nuisances, compliance.
What checks do you carry out before an offer?
+
We check the property's legal status at the land registry, that there are no debts or unpaid charges, planning compliance, the state of the community of owners and whether the price is consistent with recent sales in the area. These checks take place before any offer, not after.
How long does it take to buy a property in Empuriabrava?
+
From the first viewing to signing, it generally takes two to four months. The timing depends mainly on getting the NIE, any financing and the notary's availability. A cash purchase with a complete file can go faster.
