There are coastlines you visit, and coastlines that live in your wardrobe. Costa Brava—the stretch of Mediterranean shore from Blanes to Portbou—belongs to the latter. Jagged coves, pine-lined cliffs, whitewashed fishing towns, and the golden light that artists chase at dusk: this terrain shaped every detail of the KBAYO Costa Brava Collection. It’s luxury swimwear designed for men who travel well, choose selectively, and value pieces that won’t be on every lounger by the pool.
The Landscape as a Pattern Library
The collection’s palettes riff on marine blues, sun-baked stone, and terracotta rooftops seen from the Camí de Ronda, the historic footpath that threads coves and villages along the coast. Originally patrolled to deter smuggling, today it’s a scenic route with narrow stairways, wooden walkways, and cliffside turns that reveal secluded water inlets—exactly the kind of intimate settings this collection was made to inhabit.
Towns that Defined the Mood
We mapped our prints and trims to places that define the region’s character: the postcard arcades and terraces of Calella de Palafrugell; the understated elegance of Llafranc; and the crystalline coves near Begur—Sa Tuna, Aiguablava, Fornells—where the sea turns from sapphire to glass within a single swim. Expect crisp lines, sun-soft neutrals, and color accents you’d notice at a late brunch on the promenade.
An Artistic Lineage, Translated to Fabric
Costa Brava’s artistic heritage is never far from the water. In nearby Portlligat, Salvador Dalí kept his home and studio—a reminder that this coastline has long attracted creators who reframe the familiar. We honor that spirit through limited-edition prints and luxury finishing—subtle hardware, refined stitching, and drape that flatters.
Luxury You Can Feel (XS–3XL)
Every piece is cut in premium 4-way stretch with a lined interior for comfort and coverage. The brief, square-cut, tailored short, and satin tank are designed to fit from XS to 3XL with a cleaner, more tailored profile—so the look is precise whether you’re on a tender headed to a yacht club or checking in at a coastal design hotel. Our fit philosophy is simple: luxury should compliment your frame, not compete with it.
Exclusivity by Design
We produce in small runs and never restock a print once it’s gone. That scarcity is intentional; it keeps your look personal, collectible, and—like a favorite cove—hard to replicate.
