Bromarv is located on a narrow isthmus between two sea bays around 17 kilometers southwest of Ekenäs city center. The approximately 600 inhabitants live mainly from tourism. There is a church built in 1981, which replaced a previous building from 1753 that had burned down.

In addition to the eponymous Kirchdorf the church Bromarv included a number of villages in the area.

A smaller part of the area was assigned to the city of Hanko , the greater part of the municipality of Tenala. The latter was in turn incorporated into the city of Ekenäs in 1993 . In 2009 Ekenäs became part of the newly formed town of Raseborg .
