A contemporary seaside villa amid exquisite coastal scenery , Parador de Aigublava is a four-star hotel located atop the cliffs of Punta d ’ es Muts . On a bluff that extends into the sea on the Costa Brava , the hotel enjoys stunning panoramic views : to one side is the Mediterranean , to the other is the rugged coastal outline that descends to the crystal clear waters of Aiguablava Cove . From here , the hotel appears as a whitewashed vision on the headland , amid swathes of pine trees . The architecture is contemporary , with its clean lines and angular nature promoting laidback seaside stays . At the tip of the peninsula , discover an outdoor pool with unrivalled views , and the feeling of freshness evident here is one which pervades throughout the property . From the lobby to the bar and even into the guestrooms , the hotel ’ s interiors offer an effusive energy , filled with light and space . In some places , wallto-wall , floor-to-ceiling windows invite sunlight and spectacular views to illuminate spaces filled with minimalist furniture , modern artwork and soothing tones uplifted by colourful accents . Also embracing clean lines and a fresh colour scheme , the hotel ’ s guestrooms accommodate guests in true simplicity . Where some show a nautical theme , others offer wall-to-wall whites with modern tones thrown in . Almost all open onto a private balcony . Mar i Vent is the hotel ’ s beachside restaurant ; offering views of the sea , this elegant dining room is the setting for indulging on seafood delicacies and other flavours of the region . After dinner drinks can also be sought at the bar , and the rustic terrace beckons as a charming spot after dark .

HOTEL MUSEU LLEGENDES DE GIRONA Girona
Figueres - 27 Miles , Begur - 30 Miles , Vic - 45 Miles , Barcelona - 65 Miles , La Seu D ’ urgell - 120 Miles
From the famed banks of Girona ’ s River Onyar with its colourful architecture , it is a short walk to Hotel Museu Llegendes de Girona , where the striking red façade feels very at home . A four-star boutique hotel in the romantic old town , the age of the structure is evident in the ancient stonework that peeks through . It is clear that the structure has seen a revitalising refurbishment , with a subtle upwards extension and large glass panes giving insight into modern interiors . Enter under an unassuming , semi-circle arch into an environment where angular and contemporary furniture uplifts raw , exposed stonework . The breakfast room shows a similar blend of influences , the image of freshness under cellar-like arched ceilings with sleek , white furniture . This venue is transformed by night into an intimate bar where guests can start the evening with a cocktail before stepping out in search of an evening meal . Amid the narrow streets of Girona , Hotel Museu Llegendes de Girona offers a place of rest for weary wanderers . Take a seat on the terrace and watch city life carry on around you , or you can enjoy one of a menu of massages that the hotel offers . With just 15 rooms , the hotel guarantees a sense of space that might normally be sacrificed due to the location – particularly in the vast duplexes . The hotel therefore provides a spacious foothold for discovering Girona .
