Montgrí, Medes Islands and Baix Ter Natural Park

The Montgrí, Medes Islands and Baix Ter Natural Park is distinguished by the variety of landscapes that coexist within its boundaries: the Montgrí massif, the Mediterranean coast, the wetlands of Baix Ter, and the marine environment of the Medes Islands form a diverse, ever-changing landscape full of contrasts. This combination makes the park an ideal place for those who want to discover the Empordà region from a more leisurely perspective, connected to nature and away from the usual tourist routes. It's a territory where every corner reveals a different way of understanding the Mediterranean landscape.

Off the coast of l'Estartit, the Medes Islands are one of the region's most iconic natural landmarks. Their protected waters form part of one of the most important marine reserves in the Mediterranean, renowned for its biodiversity and the richness of its seabed.

Beyond their value for scuba diving, which is discussed on the activities page, the islands offer a unique view of the Empordà coastal landscape.

From the town, the port or some nearby viewpoints, its silhouette accompanies the stay and reminds of l'Estartit's close relationship with the sea.

The park invites you to observe the landscape at a leisurely pace. Paths, viewpoints, cliffs, fields, wetlands, and coastal areas offer numerous opportunities to experience the natural diversity of Montgrí and Baix Ter. It's the perfect setting for those who enjoy Mediterranean landscapes, the changing light, tranquility, and the feeling of being close to the sea while still remaining connected to the Empordà region.

From l'Estartit, every outing can become a small discovery: a path, a view, a natural corner or a new perspective of the territory.

Although l'Estartit is often associated with summer and the sea, the Parc Natural del Montgrí, les Illes Medes i el Baix Ter offers reasons to visit it throughout the year.

Spring fills the landscape with light and life; autumn invites you to discover the Empordà at a more leisurely pace; and the quieter months allow you to enjoy the surroundings with a different intensity.

Nature, nearby villages, local cuisine, and open landscapes make the area an attractive destination beyond the peak season. A place to return to, to change pace, and to be surprised by each season.

The natural value of the surroundings also implies a respectful approach to visiting them. Hotel Medes II is located in a privileged area that it is committed to preserving, and therefore works to reduce the environmental impact of its operations and promote more responsible tourism.
