Our Favourite Hotels in The Costa Brava
Hostal de la Gavina, S’Agaro
Nestled between two beautiful beaches, Cala Sa Conca and Sant Pol, lies this charming traditional property in the town of S’Agaro. Since the 1930s, it’s been a favourite getaway for wealthy Catalans from Barcelona, seeking a peaceful escape from the city’s bustle. They come to unwind by the outdoor seawater pool and soak in the stunning views from the spacious terrace. With 74 unique bedrooms, each adorned with antique furniture and paintings, you’ll find a cozy retreat. Some rooms offer a charming courtyard view, while others gaze out at the azure sea. For a fine dining experience, head to the ‘Candlelight’ restaurant, while ‘Garbi’ serves lighter dishes. And if you need some pampering, the spa features an indoor pool. Plus, there are tennis and paddle tennis courts, and private cabanas by the swimming pool, available for an extra fee.
San Jorge, Platja D’aro
Platja D’aro is a modern resort near S’Agaro. It’s a great choice for those who want a more lively atmosphere than some of the quieter villages on the Costa Brava. It’s got some great sandy beaches, and there are also a few good golf courses nearby. The San Jorge is a modern hotel in a great location surrounded by pine trees and overlooking two coves. It’s a modern, whitewashed building with a summer swimming pool and a spa, all overlooking the sea. One cool thing about the spa is the open-air treatment rooms where you can get a relaxing massage while enjoying the cool sea breeze. You can also enjoy the stunning sea views from the restaurant’s big summer terrace and from a few of the 119 bedrooms.
Playasol, Cadaques
Our Favourite
Nestled in the heart of Cadaqués, a charming village on the stunning Costa Brava, lies Hotel Playasol de Cadaqués.
