For its beaches, of course, that’s why we’re here. And the beaches of the Costa Brava deserve special mention for their charm. These beaches, in addition to the good Mediterranean climate, have a special character, tempered during thousands of years of trade between the peoples of the Mediterranean.
In Catalonia, there are also natural spaces such as Montserrat, Cabo de Creus or the volcanic area of Garrota. This autonomous community has everything, beach and coast, mountain, forests, rivers, and lakes.
For its wines! It is worth noting that, for wine lovers, Catalonia has eleven Designations of Origin of Wine (D.O.) and one Protected Designation of Origin of Wine (D.O.P). Catalan wines cannot be missed at your wedding!
And we can’t not talk about the gastronomy, because Catalonia is the birthplace of great chefs like Ferran Adriá and the Roca Brothers, among many others. But in addition, this autonomous community is a worldwide reference in avant-garde cuisine. Nothing better for your wedding banquet!

What is the best time to celebrate my beach wedding in Catalonia?
If you already have the location for your wedding celebration clear, an important aspect is to think about the date you want to have it.
The good thing is that the Costa Brava usually has very good weather, even in winter. So, if you don’t want to be too hot and have too many onlookers at your wedding, it is best not to do it in the summer period.
But if your wish is to have it in the summer, there is one very important thing to consider: it is prohibited, at least on the Catalan coast. Yes, from June 1 to September 30, it is prohibited to celebrate weddings on the beach. This period is approximate because it may vary each year and from one municipality to another.
But don’t worry! Because you can still carry it out on a piece of beach at a hotel, restaurant or beach bar, or in a spectacular space with sea views.
What is the best dress code for a beach wedding in Catalonia?
This is one of the big questions that guests ask themselves when they receive an invitation to a beach wedding: do I have to wear an Ibiza-style look? And the same goes for the bride and groom themselves.
In this case, we usually advise you to do what you really feel like, what makes you feel good, since there are no written rules. But it is advisable that you decide beforehand if there is a dress code, since many brides consider that, even if their wedding is on the beach, guests should not wear an Ibiza-style look to avoid wearing white.
If, even though it’s a beach wedding, it’s your wedding. Therefore, it’s best for you to decide on the style of your wedding.

Can I rent a private beach for my beach wedding in Catalonia?
Unlike a public beach, a private beach offers greater privacy and allows you to celebrate your wedding away from prying eyes. This type of space will allow you to plan a cocktail or a dinner, which will not be possible on public beaches where only a symbolic ceremony can be organized.
So… Can I rent a private beach for my beach wedding? Well, for example, in Spain there are no private beaches. This is because the Spanish Coastal Law dictates that the coast is for public use. However, there are private beaches in countries such as Mexico and some areas of the Caribbean.
That’s why our advice for getting married on the beach in Spain is to do it in one of the spectacular spaces we have, near the sea, with stunning views, and breathing in the sea breeze and the smell of salt.
