Ancora, Tamariu Overview
Ancora in Tamariu, Spain, is a practical beachfront stay for travellers who want sea air and quiet nights without giving up the option to explore by car. The apartments sit at 18 Passeig del Mar, putting you within easy reach of Platja de Tamariu and the promenade strolls that define this part of the Costa Brava. Guests consistently mention the soundproofing as a standout, especially for those who are sensitive to street or evening noise, and the air conditioning helps when temperatures rise. The terrace is a natural focal point for slow mornings and sunset downtime, while the soundproof rooms make it easier to recharge after a day on the coastal path.
What reviewers tend to appreciate most is the balance between independence and support: a tour desk helps with planning, and car hire is available for reaching nearby coves. Families also note that children are welcome, and the overall setup works well for group travel where everyone can spread out. For active days, the area around Tamariu is ideal for cycling, hiking, and fishing, and the Camí de Ronda routes are within a short distance.

Ancora also includes massage services and currency exchange, which can be handy when you’re moving between beach time and evening plans.
